  Use Homebrew version. https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/bash https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/bash

  Indeed, I have been burned by that... Wrote a script which worked perfectly fine with Linux. Tried it with MacOS... Oh gosh, it was such a pain work around those old bugs... Does someone know why Apple doesn't update the bash?

    I believe Apple ship the last version of bash released under GPLv2, and do not ship versions under GPLv3.

    Apple has a problem with GPL3, not sure what exactly but that’s the underlying issue.
