Here's a short clip from the RELEASEa file showing changes
in the ksh88b version.
3. Bugs fixed in 11/16/88b for default OPTIONS
a. ${x-"{a}"b} now expands to {a}b when x is null.
b. ksh no longer core dumps with print -s when HISTFILE changed.
c. Tab stripping of numbered here-documents now works.
d. The deprecated, sh -t, now works the same as System V shell.
e. Attempting to list autoloaded functions no longer core dumps.
4. Bug fixes for specific non-default option combinations.
a. VERSIONS: MULTIBYTE no longer automatically enabled.
b. ACCT: The accdefs.h include removed.
c. BRACEPAT: No longer references location 0 and dumps core.
d. EMACSPLUS: Now enables additional EMACS features.
e. FLOAT: arith.c now compiles.
f. VI off: e_runvi is no longer unsatisfied external.
g. SUID_EXEC: execute only works when file descriptor 10 is open.
5. Other changes to 11/16/88a and 11/16/88b
a. sh.1 corrections.
b. sh.memo corrections.
c. ksh.mk modified to build in a cross development environment.
d. jobs.c modified to compile on machines that define the new
line discipline, NTTYDISC, but not the old, OTTYDISC.
e. RELEASE file corrections.
f. Some fixes to the stand-alone edit libraries.
g. VERSIONS option renamed FS_3D
h. POSIX option added to try out IEEE POSIX 1003.2 proposals.
i. VFORK bugs fixed. I still don't recommend this option.
6. Incompatibilities with 11/16/88 version.
None intentional
