  * New upstream release:
    - [tg, TNF] Fix bounds checks in Vi editing mode
    - [tg] Handle combining characters at end of string or output correctly

    - [tg, arekm, jilles] Abort read builtin in case of read(2) errors
    - [tg, izabera, carstenh] Fix most of the ambiguous corner cases related
      to ${[pfx]var[op[word]]} (${@:-1} still unsupported)
    - [carstenh] Contribute some more testsuite coverage
    - [tg] WDS_TPUTS now emits QCHAR newline reentrant-safe
    - [tg] Fix var=<< implementation (LP#1380389)
    - [tg, FreeBSD] Make XSI test(1) extensions behave as if they were POSIX

    - [tg] Feature: print -A, prints arguments as characters
    - [tg, izabera] Replace <<< and >>> as ROL and ROR operators with their
      new ^< and ^> spelling as per David Tribble’s proposal
    - [tg, slagtc] Clear-to-EOL under tmux to work around its anti-feature
    - [tg, p120ph37] Remove support for using file descriptors with more
      than a single digit, in preparation for named file descriptors
    - [tg] Correct, but simplify (at the potential cost of more tty I/O than
      strictly necessary, though never redundant and (probably) not more
      than before when it was miscalculated), line clearing and redrawing
    - [slagtc, tg] Implement new evaluate-region editing command Esc+Ctrl-E
    - [tg] Prefer external rename utility over the recovery builtin
    - [tg] Remove redundant full-line redraws
    - [tg, Natureshadow] Fix errorlevel of ‘.’ (“dot” special builtin) when
      the sourced script does not run any commands, for POSIX compliance
    - [tg] Refactor op tokens and edchars to shave off some more bytes
    - [tg] Fix some bugs in the manpage and some occasional/minor code bugs
    - [tg, Brian Callahan] Mark tests requiring new perl as !need-pass
    - [tg, slagtc] Add $KSH_MATCH and, to make it usable, ${foo@/bar/baz}
    - [tg, Score_Under] Fix bogus patch from OpenBSD: only NULL the global
      source in unwind when actually reclaiming its Area
    - [izabera] Mention in the manpage that integer bases go up to 36
  * Add NEWS entry with user-visible changes
  * Do not call script(1) with -q – we may need the debugging output
  * Work with dpkg-buildflags bugfix vs. reproducible builds effort again…
