Bash 4.4 released

    o.  There is a new address@hidden family of operators to transform the
    value of `parameter'.

Can anyone show an example of that? I'm not sure I understand that feature.

Interesting addition ${PARAMETER@OPERATOR} parameter expansion. Taken from the new docs, see:

I'm not sure how wise that is. It doesn't exactly lead to readable scripts. Zsh has had the equivalent feature with the syntax ${(operator)parameter) for over two decades so plenty of time for more operators to be added. It is very powerful but worse than perl for code that looks like line noise.

It was mangled by the anti-spam system, which does make it confusing to read.
