This file contains visible (incompatible) changes to the users. This version of tcsh has the following new things: 6.00 PL3 * %d in the prompt is the week-day and no longer $cwd; use %/ instead. * changes in the prompt format. Date changes to accomodate people from down under. * vi insert mode to command mode transition does not move the cursor. 6.00 PL2 * setty builtin This is used to specify what tcsh modes can be altered using stty, Modes that should be set are specified as +, modes that should be cleared are specified as -, and the ones that should be untouched are specified as . setty with no arguments prints the modes that are affected by tcsh, and setty -a prints all modes. * multiple : modifiers in variables and ! escapes. Things like: > set prompt="$host:r:$cwd>" don't work any more, they should be replaced with > set prompt="${host:r}:$cwd>" or > set prompt="$host:r"":$cwd>" the reason is that now you can > set foo=/usr/local/a.b.c > echo $foo:t:r:e b If for some reason you don't like this change you can disable it with -DCOMPAT. -DCOMPAT may go away in future tcsh versions and the way tcsh works now is the way the 4.4BSD csh works. 6.00 PL1 * There is no more config.iris4d, use config.sgi instead 6.00 * History searching searches using shell patterns too. * The autolist values that controlled beeping are not supported any more; used matchbeep instead. * /etc/Login and /etc/Logout were renamed to /etc/csh.login /etc/csh.logout and /etc/csh.cshrc was added * prompt2 and prompt3 can have prompt escapes. * eval pipes work * ignore_symlinks works 5.20 PL2 * %{..%} escapes in prompt 5.20 PL0 * bindkey -r * history -t * shell variables in paths expand correctly. * variable expansion * quoted expansions now work. * new version and tcsh variable format 5.19 PL2 * NLS support * New bindkey and echotc builtins * Underline and Bold in the prompt; additions and changes to the prompt and who syntax (%u is now %n, so that %u can be used to turn undeline off, and %n is now \n). * rmstar needs to be set to protect from accidental removal * Fixed editor, and spell line. * Glob-expand, on arguments. * Added process migration builtins for aix370 5.19 PL1 * Maintainance release for mainly the rs6000 5.19 PL0 * 8 bit clean code, by using 16 bit strings. * Mostly shared strings (a side-effect) * Highlights everywhere (and in ls-F) filenames that contain characters with the eighth bit set (or passes them unchanged depending on the variable 'nometa') * Newline in the prompt via %n. * dirs takes also a -v flag for `vertical display' * There is a new variable `listjobs' which controls if and how jobs are displayed when a new job is suspended. [Idea from the mtXinu code, very useful for novice users who hit control-Z 10 times on the same job!] set listjobs=long, jobs -l is executed every time a job is suspended. set listjobs=short, jobs is executed every time a job is suspended. * Passes lint... At least on a sun.
