This email is to inform you about the release of version '2.15' of 'which' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be found at http://freshmeat.net/projects/which/ The changes in this release are as follows: This release adds support for automake-2.7.2 and autoconf-2.57. It also changes the way it searches for executables of the same name in PATH; it will now skip files that are not executable even though the "x" bit is set on group or others. This can happen because when you own a file only the owner permission bits apply, likewise for the group permission bits. This was actually a bug in bash (and still is), but some distributions have changed bash to this more compliant behavior. Project description: Which is a utility that prints out the full path of the executables that bash(1) would execute when the passed program names would have been entered on the shell prompt. It does this by using the exact same algorithm as bash. Tildes and a dot in the PATH are now expanded to the full path by default. Options allow to rather print "~/*" or "./*" and/or to print all exectuables that match any directory in PATH.
