GNU Rush version 1.7 is available for download from ftp://download.gnu.org.ua/pub/release/rush, http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/rush and mirrors worldwide.

New in this release:

New configuration statements

The new statements acct-umask, acct-dir-mode, acct-file-mode set the value of umask used when accessing accounting
database files, and permissions for the accounting directory and
database files, correspondingly.

Conditions `uid' and `gid'

These conditions now accept symbolic as well as numeric arguments, e.g.:

uid 1300
uid smith
uid < smith
git != 500

The `newgrp' command

The `newgrp' command changes the current group ID to the one given as its argument, which must be either a numeric GID or a name of an existing group.

Default regex flags affect the `transform' statement

New translations

Dutch, by Koen Torfs.
Vietnamese, by Clytie Siddall.
