The #! line for shell scripts allows the interpreter itself to be a script rather than just an executable. e.. The device files /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp1 have been added for playing audio files. f.. The algorithm for mapping Windows process identifiers to UNIX process identifiers has changed for Windows NT/2K/XP so that the UNIX process ids will not be reused for at least 32 processes. g.. The shell has been updated to the most recent version of ksh93 which has a number of fixes and new features. h.. The -D option to the cat command which causes a carriage return to be inserted before each new-line now works when standard output is a pipe. i.. The ls command now handes multibyte locales when deciding on whether a file name is printable or not. j.. A -b option has been added to grep to highlight matched text. k.. An Administrator can now use kill to terminate processes that it doesn't own at least in some cases. l.. The /etc/profile now checks for the existence of a file named /var/etc/localprofile to that installations can make local changes without having to change the version that is shipped. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- a.. The pthread library, pthread.dll, has been added to support POSIX tread applications. In addition several changes to posix.dll have been made to support multithread applications. b.. The -G option of the ld command for building dynamically linked libraries can now accept a file of the form name.ign which contains the symbols that should not be exported. It will generate and use the file name.def in which all other extern symbols will be exported. c.. The signal numbers 3 and 21 were reverse in <signal.h> so that SIGQUIT will have the value (3) found on most UNIX systems. d.. The <sys/resource.h> header is more complete so that programs that use it should compile. e.. The wide character functions have been added to the stdio library. f.. The standard output of native commands should now go to the pty by default when run over a telnet session. Previously, this only worked in some instances. g.. The code for ptys was modified so that the pty would not be closed if the process that created it exits and other processes have it open. h.. The lex command was modified to handle larger lex files without running out of resources. i.. The functions asctime_r(), ctime_r(), fdatasync(), fseeko(), ftello(), getcontext(), gmtime_r(), makecontext(), mbrtowc(), sigtimedwait(), sigwait(), sigwaitinfo(), strtold(), strsep(), swapcontext() and wcrtomb() have been added. j.. The kill() function has been changed so that if a signal is sent to the group that the process belongs to, the signal will be sent to the other members before sending the signal to itself. k.. The chdir(), and readdir(), functions now allow a user with adminstrator privilege to work even when they otherwise would not have permission. l.. The SIGURG signal should now work with sockets. m.. The proto command now takes a -e option and adds code to headers to handle __declspec(dllimport) for data symbols defined in a dynamically linked library.
