Version 2012-04-19 of schily

Release Notes: The Bourne Shell now supports umask -S and a symbolic POSIX compliant mode to set umask. The Bourne Shell builtin "read" now supports the POSIX option -r. The Bourne Shell builtin "ulimit" now supports the options -l, -m, and -u for better *BSD and Linux compatibility. All known unfixed bugs in the SVr4.0 Bourne Shell from 1990 have been fixed. The Bourne Shell man page got a major reworking and, among other features, describes the commandline history editor.

        Release Notes: cdrtools is now at version 3.01a14, and now supports root-less operation on Linux using fcaps. #include file reordering was undertaken to avoid warnings on older platforms. Job processing code was moved from smake/make.c to smake/job.c. A typo in include/schily/stat.h that caused setting of nanoseonds in timestamps to be impossible for NetBSD and OpenBSD was fixed.

          Release Notes: This release fixes a problem in star with "star --xattr -find relative_path ..." smake has been bumped to version 1.2.3. Avoids a false GCC warning when compiling the termcap program. The man page sccsfile.4 has been rewritten to make it easier to understand. cdrtools has been bumped to version 3.01a12. The UDF implementation in mkisofs has been enhanced to support all typical UNIX file types, all three timestamps in microsecond granularity, the suid/sgid/sticky file flags, and correct credentials for symlinks.

            Release Notes: A bug introduced in the last smake version that caused empty command lines to fail was fixed. A bug in the Bourne Shell that may cause PATH to be ignored if it ends in ':' was fixed. Cdrtools was bumped to version 3.01a11 and Star to version 1.5.2.

              Release Notes: This release optimizes command execution to help systems with slow fork() (like Cygwin). Smake now may be compiled to enforce the Bourne Shell as default SHELL to speed up work on Cygwin. A workaround for Cygwin-1.7.17 and newer has been added, and handles the missing PACKED definition and the incompatible change related to BOOL in windef.h. The Schily Makefilesystem now defines $(SPACE) and $(NUMBER_SIGN), characters that usually cannot appear in Makefiles. cpp now includes a pre-yacced cpy.y to allow to create a fully functional binary on Systems without yacc (such as Cygwin and HP-UX).
