The GNU project's Bourne Again
SHell (Bash) has released version 5.3, with some significant new features, including some from the associated Readline 8.3 release, which provides command-line editing and other features for Bash and lots of other programs. Bash 5.3 has a 'new form of command substitution that executes the command in the current shell execution context', pathname-completion sorting will be handled based on the GLOBSORT shell variable, generated completions can go to a shell variable instead of to stdout, the source code has been updated to C23, and more. Meanwhile: Readline has new features as well. There is a new option that allows case-insensitive searching, a new command that executes a named readline command, and a new command that exports possible word completions in a specified format for consumption by another process.
