Release Notes

brush v0.2.19

🚀 Release Notes

This release included a batch of compatibility fixes, ergonomics improvements to the API surfaces of brush-core and brush-parser crates, and some targeted performance improvements.

Notable features:

  • Add BRUSH_VERSION variable to distinguish versions of brush from the version of bash it targets compatibility with. (Thanks to @kachick for proposing and implementing this one.)
  • API adjustments to script parsing in brush-core for ergonomics. (Thanks to @hwittenborn for contributing this.)
  • Initial (non-translating) support for gettext quoted strings. (Thanks to @Elsie19 for identifying this gap and merging in an initial implementation.)
  • Overhaul of printf builtin using the uucore crate from the Rust coreutils project.
  • Added support for >&-, >&N-, and other bash-extended redirection forms.

Highlighted fixes:

  • Correct handling of escape sequences in ANSI-C strings.
  • Handle here documents terminated by EOF (Thanks to @mati865 for reporting this.)
  • Fix behavior of brush when commands are piped to stdin. (Thanks to @andychu for catching and reporting this.)

Other shout-outs:

  • Big shout-out to @andychu for onboarding brush to the Oils project's cross-shell compatibility testing! More discussion of this can be found here.

🚀 Release Notes

Since our last release we've seen an influx of interest, thanks in part to getting posted to Hacker News and elsewhere. Welcome all! We appreciate your interest, questions, filed issues, and support 😄

This release focuses on a wave of fixes to address some of the user feedback we've received, as well as some targeted features that had been on our backlog for quite some time.
Some select highlights:

  • Ergonomic improvements to the brush-core exported API surface for applications embedding brush. (Particular thanks to @Elsie19 and other contributors on this).
  • Support for logical/physical options (-L, -P) to cd, pwd, et al. (This builds on the work that @39555 started several months back; thanks for your patience until we were able to get to it!)
  • Significant improvements to the mapfile/readarray builtin. (Thanks to @Elsie19 on overhauling mapfile's core input loop.)
  • Initial implementation of the ulimit builtin. (Thanks to @lu-zero for getting it from unimplemented to something reasonable.)
  • Initial implementation of bind -x support, used by many shell extensions and users' .bashrc files; there's more to do, but this covers a long asked-for feature request from the community.

There's plenty more bug fixes and changes -- as usual, the full details are below. And a big shout-out to our new contributors as well as contributors who dove in deeper this cycle! 🙏
