osh-20120102 (Twelve == Magic)

v6shell — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 04:35:19 +0000

The latest official release of osh (The Twelve == Magic Edition) is available via:

What’s new in this release? The following describes the major points.

Changes: This release changes the osh exit status for 'alias' and 'unalias' so that they exit w/ a false (1) status when there are no aliases to print, set, or unset. Otherwise, they exit w/ a true (0) status when there is no error. It adds 'version' as an osh special built-in command, replacing the previous 'version' alias found in “examples/dot.oshrc”. It changes the _XOPEN_SOURCE definition from 600 to 600L in “mkconfig”. It also adds DEBUG_ALIAS, DEBUG_GLOB, and DEBUG_PROC definitions (undefined by default) to “err.h” for printf debugging.

osh-current debugging video

v6shell — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 15:11:20 +0000

This is a little video I made for fun of osh-current w/ debugging enabled at build time by `#define DEBUG‘ in “err.h”:

new in the v6shell repo

v6shell — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 16:26:52 +0000

So, I dug out the ancient archives where my ancient osh tarballs live this week. The result? I added the releases back to osh-060124 as new tagged branches in the v6shell repo. The releases from osh-051120 to osh-030730 are new orphaned branches with no tags.

Notice that releases are available as tarballs via http://v6shell.org/src (latest release) and http://v6shell.org/src/old (older releases) for all releases back to osh-030730.

In the end, this makes all releases from the beginning to now available via the v6shell repo and as tarballs.
