Log Message:
Update to version R36.
Major changes:
* Digital UNIX (DEC OSF/1) V2.0 (MIPS) is now supported using the DEC C and \
ucode toolchain. (We could not run the testsuite, though.)
* The â-Qâ option to Build.sh is gone without replacement.
* A new option can be enabled by adding -DMKSH_BINSHREDUCED to $CPPFLAGS, \
intended mostly for Debian. This option adds extra code to determine whether \
mksh(1) is called as sh or -sh and switch to âset -o posixâ mode if \
so, disabling brace expansion and some security features, because legacy \
scripts, such as debconf, depend on such reduced functionality /bin/shs.
* Input lines beginning with an IFS character of IFS white space are no longer \
pushed into the history. Some other, less surprising, changes were also made to \
both Emacs and Vi command line editing modes.
* The arc4random.c contributed file is now stored with the RCS version number \
appended, and has been updated.
