18. By Matthias Klose on 2012-08-03

* Apply upstream patch 037, fix for
  - Attempting to redo (using `.') the vi editing mode `cc', `dd', or `yy'
    commands leads to an infinite loop.

17. By Matthias Klose on 2012-07-12

* Apply upstream patches 030 - 036, fixes for
  - When attempting to glob strings in a multibyte locale, and those strings
    contain invalid multibyte characters that cause mbsnrtowcs to return 0,
    the globbing code loops infinitely.
  - A change between bash-4.1 and bash-4.2 to prevent the readline input hook
    from being called too frequently had the side effect of causing delays
    when reading pasted input on systems such as Mac OS X. This patch fixes
    those delays while retaining the bash-4.2 behavior.
  - Bash-4.2 has problems with DEL characters in the expanded value of
    variables used in the same quoted string as variables that expand
    to nothing.
  - Bash uses a static buffer when expanding the /dev/fd prefix for the test
    and conditional commands, among other uses, when it should use a dynamic
    buffer to avoid buffer overflow.
  - In bash-4.2, the history code would inappropriately add a semicolon to
    multi-line compound array assignments when adding them to the history.
  - When given a number of lines to read, `mapfile -n lines' reads
    one too many.
  - Bash-4.2 produces incorrect word splitting results when expanding
    double-quoted $@ in the same string as and adjacent to other variable
    expansions. The $@ should be split, the other expansions should not.

16. By Matthias Klose on 2012-07-01

* Apply upstream patches 025 - 029, fixes for
  - When used in a shell function, `declare -g -a array=(compound assignment)'
    creates a local variable instead of a global one.
  - The `lastpipe' option does not behave correctly on machines where the
    open file limit is less than 256.
  - When the `extglob' shell option is enabled, pattern substitution does not
    work correctly in the presence of multibyte characters.
  - When using a word expansion for which the right hand side is evaluated,
    certain expansions of quoted null strings include spurious ^? characters.
  - Bash-4.2 tries to leave completed directory names as the user typed them,
    without expanding them to a full pathname. One effect of this is that
    shell variables used in pathnames being completed (e.g., $HOME) are left
    unchanged, but the `$' is quoted by readline because it is a special
    character to the shell. This patch introduces two things:
    - A new shell option, `direxpand', which, if set, attempts to emulate the
      bash-4.1 behavior of expanding words to full pathnames during
      completion;
    - A set of heuristics that reduce the number of times special characters
      such as `$' are quoted when the directory name is not expanded.
* Mark bash and bash-static as Multi-Arch: foreign . Closes: #674120.
* Avoid warning for unset debian_chroot with -u (Marko Mäkelä).
  Closes: #659940.
* Fix string expansion: \u and \U for code points U+0080 to U+00FF (Darran
  Salt). Closes: #661386.
* Search $- for `i' for the interactivity test. Closes: #482194.
* Search for bash_completion in /usr/share/bash-completion too.
  Closes: #655071, #655208.

15. By Matthias Klose on 2012-03-30

* Fix command-not-found location. Closes: #529313.
* Print a replacement error message if command-not-found was removed
  after bashrc was loaded. Closes: #631023. LP: #561155.
* skel.bashrc: Document and prepare enabling the globstar feature (Fabian
  Greffrath). Closes: #627926.
* Apply upstream patches 021 - 024.

14. By Matthias Klose on 2011-11-30

[ Matthias Klose ]
* New upstream version.
* Apply upstream patches 001 - 020.
* Fix parsing of double doublequotes. LP: #780441.
* /etc/bash.bashrc:
  - Fix quoting issue calling command-not-found. LP: #754859. Closes: #587185.
* Don't cache the value of brk between sbrk calls (Samuel Thibault).
  Closes: #614815.
* Remove the bashdb and bash-completion packaging rules and files.
* Just link with libtinfo instead of libncurses if available.
* Make lintian happy.
* Use quilt to apply patches.
* Fix build error with -Werror=format-security (Pierre Chifflier).
  Closes: #641350.
* Fix build for the binary target, without calling the build target.
  Closes: #602159.
* Fix cross builds (Steve McIntyre). Closes: #629929.

[ Jonathan Nieder ]
* Update copyright file. Many files that were GPL-2+ were relicensed
  under GPL-3+ in bash 4.0-rc1. Closes: #632177.
* debian/rules: Use "rm -rf" instead of rmdir to remove usr/share/info
  directory in "with_gfdl = no" build. This prevents build failures when
  using the unmodified upstream tarball.
* bash.preinst: Tidy up a little.
  - Remove codepath that would rename .bash_profile → .profile if .profile
    was unmodified from the gutsy → hardy transition. Closes: #602244
  - Remove commented experiment from bash-completion transition.
  - Remove misleading "dpkg --assert-support-predepends" check.
    Closes: #602456.
  - Move utility functions to a separate bash.preinst-lib.c and corresponding
    declarations to bash.preinst.h.
* Remove /bin/sh symlink and /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz from bash package
  contents. Closes: #602483.
  - debian/rules: Do not install /bin/sh and sh.1.gz symlinks.
  - bash.preinst:
    - Make sure /bin/sh is present and points to an executable, forcibly
      creating symlinks /bin/sh -> bash and /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz ->
      bash.1.gz if not.
    - Divert /bin/sh and sh.1.gz on behalf of dash if we are upgrading from
      a bash version with /bin/sh in the files list and bash's copy of
      /bin/sh is not already diverted. This ensures unpacking bash will not
      cause /bin/sh to go missing.
* bash.postinst: Simplify comment that contained an implementation detail
  about how /bin/sh is provided.
* Use dpkg-buildflags to retrieve compiler options, including hardening flags.
  Build-Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1) (Steve Langasek). Closes: #629929.
* Pass --host to configure only when cross-compiling, --build always, as
  recommended in autotools documentation (Steve Langasek).

* Merge from Ubuntu (closes: #648578):
  - /etc/skel/.bashrc:
    - Don't set HISTCONTROL twice. Thanks to Kevin Knerr. LP: #465500.
    - Set HISTFILESIZE to 2000 and HISTSIZE to 1000. LP: #544542.
    - README.Debian: Remove obsolete entry "Why is bash configured
      with --disable-net-redirections?"

13. By Matthias Klose on 2010-04-10

* Apply upstream patches 003, 004, 005.
* Fix crash in declare builtin.
* /etc/skel/.bashrc:
  - Enable sourcing of ~/.bash_aliases by default. Closes: #569798.
  - Find command-not-found script. Closes: #529313.
* README.Debian:
  - Remove references to --disable-net-redirections, bash-minimal.
  - Mention that the upstream changelog can be found in the bash-doc
    package. Closes: #551019.
