    - Maintainer change for Ubuntu

mksh (50e-2) experimental; urgency=medium

  * QA upload.
  * Backport upstream fix:
    - [tg] SECURITY: make unset HISTFILE actually work
  * Adjust shell version accordingly

mksh (50e-1) experimental; urgency=high

  * QA upload.
  * Remove timestamps from README.Debian; should make builds reproducible
  * Filter out some more junk from README.Debian
  * Update to the next release of the R50-stable branch:
    - [tg] Fix LP#1381965 and LP#1381993 (more field splitting)
    - [jilles] Update location of FreeBSD testsuite for test(1)
    - [Martin Natano] Remove dead NULL elements from Emacs keybindings
    - [tg, Stéphane Chazelas, Geoff Clare] Change several testcases for $*/$@
      expansion with/without quotes to expected-fail, with even more to come ☹
    - [tg] Fix miscalculating required memory for encoding the double-quoted
      parts of a here document or here string delimiter, leading to a buffer
      overflow; discovered by zacts from IRC
    - [RT] Rename a function conflicting with a MacRelix system header
    - [tg] Use size_t (and ssize_t) consistently, stop using ptrdiff_t; fixes
      some arithmetics and S/390 bugs
    - [tg] Remove old workarounds for Clang 3.2 scan-build
    - [tg] Remove all Clang/Coverity assertions, making room for new checks
    - [tg] Fix NSIG generation on Debian sid gcc-snapshot
    - [tg] Make a testcase not fail in a corner case
    - [tg] Fix issues detected by GCC’s new sanitisers: data type of a value

      check array accesses are always unsigned char

    - [tg] More int → bool conversion

    - [tg] Optimise dot.mkshrc and modernise it a bit
    - [tg] Use MAXPATHLEN from <sys/param.h> for PATH_MAX fallback
    - [tg] Some code cleanup and warnings fixes
    - [tg] Add options -a argv0 and -c to exec
    - [jsg] Prevent use-after-free when hitting multiple errors unwinding
    - [tg] Fix use of $* and $@ in scalar context: within [[ … ]] and after
      case (spotted by Stéphane Chazelas) and in here documents (spotted by
      tg@); fix here document expansion
    - [tg] Unbreak when $@ shares double quotes with others
    - [tg] Fix set -x in PS4 expansion infinite loop
  * Update README, Description, copyright and build scripts
  * Upload to experimental due to the jessie pre-release freeze

mksh: MirBSD Korn Shell

 mksh is the successor of the Public Domain Korn shell (pdksh),
 a Bourne/POSIX compatible shell which is largely similar to the
 original AT&T Korn Shell (ksh88/ksh93).
 It includes bug fixes and feature improvements, in order to produce a
 modern, robust shell good for interactive and especially script use.
 mksh has UTF-8 support (in string operations and the Emacs editing
 mode). The code has been cleaned up and simplified, bugs fixed,
 standards compliance added, and several enhancements (for extended
 compatibility to other modern shells, as well as a couple of its
 own) are available.
 This shell is Debian Policy 10.4 compliant and works as /bin/sh on
 Debian systems (use the /bin/lksh executable) and is a good rescue
 and initrd shell (consider the /bin/mksh-static executable).
 .
 The mksh binary is a complete, full-featured shell. It provides a
 “consistent across all platforms” guarantee, using 32-bit integers
 for arithmetics, possibly deviating from POSIX.
 .
 The mksh-static binary is a version of mksh, linked against klibc or
 dietlibc (if they exist for that Debian architecture and are usable)
 and optimised for small code size, for example for use on initrd or
 initramfs images, installation or rescue systems. Except for omitting
 some features to be smaller, it is similar to the mksh binary otherwise.
 .
 The lksh binary is a script shell based on mksh intended to run old
 ksh88 and pdksh scripts, but not for interactive use. When used as
 /bin/sh it follows POSIX most closely, including use of the host’s
 “long” C data type for arithmetics. It also contains kludges so it
 can run as /bin/sh on Debian beyond what Policy dictates, to work
 around bugs in maintainer scripts and LSB init scripts shipped by
 many packages, such as including a rudimentary printf(1) builtin,
 permitting a shell function to be named stop overriding the default
 alias, more loose interpretation of shell extglibs, etc.
 .
 A sample ~/.mkshrc is included in /usr/share/doc/mksh/examples and
 provided as /etc/mkshrc conffile, which is sourced by another file
 /etc/skel/.mkshrc users are recommended to copy into their home.
