Subject: Updated: dash 0.5.12
Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2023 15:02:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230122150216.24463-1-Brian.Inglis@Shaw.ca> (raw)
The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:
* dash 0.5.12
This Base category shell is used in all installations, so it has been
available in test for a few weeks, is locally installed as my /bin/sh,
used by most scripts, cron jobs, and cygport builds, getting frequent
use with no issues so far.
As no issues have been reported, the upgrade is being released as
current stable.
DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be
as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where
possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU
Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks.
For more information see the project home page:

For changes since the previous release, see below;
