ksh93u+m is the ksh93 reboot aims to develop bugfixes to the last
|
|
stable release (93u+ 2012-08-01) of ksh93, formerly developed by
|
|
AT&T Software Technology (AST). This ksh 93u+m reboot now incorporates
|
|
many of these bugfixes, plus patches from OpenSUSE, Red Hat, and Solaris,
|
|
as well as many new fixes from the community.
|
|
|
|
Between 2017 and 2020 there was an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to
|
|
breathe new life into the KornShell by extensively refactoring the last
|
|
unstable AST beta version (93v-). While that ksh2020 effort is now
|
|
abandoned and still has many critical bugs, it also had a lot of bugs
|
|
fixed. More importantly, the AST issue tracker now contains a lot of
|
|
documentation on how to fix those bugs, which made it possible to
|
|
backport many of them to the last stable release instead.
|
|
|
|
The shells/ksh-devel port tracks the develpment branch.
