    - [tg] On ^C (INTR and QUIT edchars), shove edit line into history
    - [iSKUNK, tg] Begin porting to z/OS using EBCDIC encoding, incomplete
    - [tg] Redo fast character classes code, adding POSIX and other helpers
    - [tg] bind parses backslash-escaped ‘^’ (and ‘\’) as escaped
    - [tg] Building with -DMKSH_ASSUME_UTF8=0 no longer causes a known
      failure in the testsuite
