What's going to be new in bash 5
4
I was just going through the official bash repository(I don't usually do this) for something unrelated but noticed that bash 5 was already in beta. I was just curious about what's going to be new in bash 5 but couldn't find any information. Can someone summarize the changes between 4.4 and 5 version of Bash
bash upgrade
