The old parser code was rubbish and only worked for trivial
expressions. The new code properly handles complex expressions,
including short circuit evaluation.
As such, the BUGS section has been removed from the test(1) man page.
The description of an unimplemented feature has also been removed.
Passwd used to produce a very confusing error
about DES not being enabled whenever the password
was mistyped. This happened because we attempted
to guess what authentication method to use, and
preseneted the error from the wrong one on failure.
This puts the legacy mode behind a flag, so that
we don't even try the old method unless it's
explicitly requested.
hget supports adding custom headers with -r;
it makes sense for hpost to do the same, both
because custom headers are more likely necessary
with POSTs, and for consistency.
The -v flag now does not create a new rio window,
while -w flag does (restores the old behaviour).
This allows vmx to run under vncs and is in general
mode aligned to other emulators and programs.
Upas/marshal -F was broken with the '-8' command, and silly
without it: It used aliases passed on the command line, so
the destination address was ignored with -8 was passed.
In addition, it would create a new mailbox for any aliases
being sent to, instead of putting them all in one location.
The new -S option is similar to -F, but specifies where the
message should go.
The format produced by `diff -u` is inferior to that
produced by `diff -c`, but it's what ape/patch and
unix patch expect, so it's useful to generate it.
This patch adds `diff -u`.
Following is a list of functional changes:
* The -o flag outputs the entire buffer to the length returned
by the syscall, or, in case of fd2path(2) and errstr(2), to '\0'.
* The -x flag is removed; the above makes it possible to pipe
into xd(1) to get the same result.
* The -s flag uses dirfmt(2) to format the stat message, instead
of trying to imitate ls(1).
* Stderr reports are normalized and made easier to parse.
The code also suffered a number of stylistic changes.
Fix inconsistencies between programs and their usage
messages, correct instances where information seems
to be missing or lost. This includes missing arguments,
making usage consistent with manuals, and so on.
this is a reimplementation of infernos os(1) command, which
allows running commands in the underhying host operating
system when inferno runs in hosted mode (emu). but unlike
inferno, we want to use it to run commands on the client
side of a inferno or drawterm session from the plan9 cpu
server, so it defaults to /mnt/term/cmd for the mountpoint.
