- common code:
43+
* Generally improved shell script portability (including `Makefile.am`
44+
embedded recipes) when mixing back-quotes and double-quotes. Namely,
45+
the classic Solaris `ksh` implementation (also used in current versions
46+
of Solaris and illumos based distributions) was strict about following
47+
(an older revision of) the POSIX standard here, and some use-cases
48+
misbehaved with our older script spelling. [issue #3196]
4349
* Introduced `setproctag()` and `getproctag()` (see examples in `upsmon`)
4450
to help track the log messages from massively-forking NUT daemons. [#3084]
4551
* Extended with plural `checkprocnames()` and `compareprocnames()`,
