This is a major release that brings a significant number of changes and improvements, including a complete overhaul of the parser. Backwards compatibility is a high priority however these new features bring greater readability and consistency to shell scripting. So while the older syntax remains for compatibility, it is worth migrating over to the newer syntax for all new code being written
bson. This was disabled by default and likely never used. So it has been removed to reduce Murex’s testing footprint. It can easily be re-added if anyone does actually use itcoreutils. This was actually enabled by default for Windows builds. However rewriting Linux/UNIX coreutils for Windows support is a massive project in its own right and with the maturity of WSL there’s almost no reason to run Murex on “native Windows”. So the coreutils builtin has been dropped to allow us to focus on the responsibilities of the shell5 * 5 or foobar = $foo + "bar", etc. This syntax can be used directly or specified specifically via the expr builtin%{ foo: bar }%[ foo bar ]%() (this is preferred over the, now deprecated, feature of parenthesis quotes)[] (@[ is now deprecated)/# comment #/. It is unfortunate this differs from C-style comments (/* comment */) but this has to be the case because /* is ambiguous for barewords in shells: is it a path and glob or a comment? Where as /# isn’t a common term due to # denoting a commentnull as a data type across the pipe, it will be ignored. This solves the problem where functions that don’t write to stdout would still define the data typeconfig@g removed.
