Unable to find release notes for Bash

From Bash website you can download "Bourne again shell (BASH)". Inside the download you can find the release notes.


EDIT: Or browse the source online, see NEWS for the summaries, and CHANGES for details.

For patch releases, these could be useful:

  • http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.4-patches/
  • http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-5.0-patches/

There are two files distributed with the source: NEWS and CHANGES. CHANGES documents everything, while NEWS summarises new features.

You can find a summary for BASH 4 here, or check out section B1 of the FAQ for the latest NEWS.
