RHEA-2016:0163 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated ksh Shift_JIS packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The ksh packages provide the most recent version of the Korn shell by David Korn of AT&T Bell Laboratories. The Korn shell is a shell programming language, which is upward-compatible with the Bourne shell (Bash). Shift JIS (SJIS) is a character encoding for the Japanese language. The ksh Shift_JIS packages provide ksh support for the SJIS encoding.

This update adds the following enhancement:

• To ensure mutual compatibility, the ksh Shift_JIS packages have been brought up to date with the latest release of the base packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. (BZ#1249866)

Users who require Shift JIS encoding support in the Korn shell should upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
