[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: bashdb-3.1_0.05-1


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

A new release of bashdb, 3.1_0.05-1, is available for use, replacing
3.00-0.02-2 as the current version.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release, corresponding to a new bash upstream
release.  Note that bash 3.0 will not work with bashdb-3.1_*, nor will
bash 3.1 work with bashdb-3.0_*, due to some backwards incompatible
changes in array variable syntax handling in bash.  Since bash-3.1 is now
marked current, I upgraded bashdb as well.  This version also replaces the
experimental bashdb-3.1-0.04-1 that was on the mirrors for a few weeks.

A list of changes from bashdb-3.00-0.02-2 is attached; see also the
/usr/share/doc/bashdb-3.1-0.05/ directory.

DESCRIPTION:
============
A bash shell script debugger, with command line, emacs, and ddd
interfaces.  It is possible to debug a bash shell script using 'bashdb
file' or 'bash --debugger file'.

UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your system.
Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'bashdb' from the
'Devel' category.

DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need to
find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you:
http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

Version 3.1 0.05 
2006-03-24

- Add complete (command completion), 

- Add cd, pwd

- Add gdb-style set/show logging.

- Better checking to see if we have  bash 3.1 (as opposed to 3.0)

- GNU Emacs debugging improvements, including...

- Add shell prompt tracking in GNU Emacs (bashdbtrack - like 
  Python's pdbtrack)

- Patches to allow VPATH (or build outside of source tree)

- Numerous documentation changes

- Break out command files even more.

Version 3.1 0.04 (initial 3.1 release)
2006-01-16

- Showing which command on a line with multiple commmands works again.
  Reinstate regression tests which use that.

- Add a loadable routine to read a script into an array fast. This
  speeds up the startup on reading large scripts very much.

- Install compiled GNU emacs lisp

- We were reporting script line sizes as one larger than the actual size

- Bash location matches installation in bashdb documentation

Version 3.00 0.03 (bugfix and palindromic-version-number release)
2005-12-10

- Changes to make ddd work better 
  * "info args" works correctly 
  * "help run" works
  * Do all the directory removing/creating/symbolic linking so that bash
    finds the include file it needs. This was real ugly. I couldn't have
    undertaken to try to figure this out without my GNU Makefile debugger
    and the "write" command.
