Learning BASH in 2022. Books 2003 fit?

My hands got to the Linux console, I worked with this console and I liked it so much that I wanted to learn the bash language. Having searched the Internet for information, I very often come across manuals from 2003-2006. So the question is: Has this language changed so much that the 2003 books are no longer suitable for learning the language?
The book "Advanced Bash Scripting", the only translation that I found - 2003 production. (In principle, I could read in English, but it is better absorbed in Russian)
If not, could you recommend other books or give a link to a reprint?

If the book is from 2003, then it probably describes version 2.x. Since then, versions 3.x, 4.x, 5.x have been released. You can also learn the basics from it, but, of course, you won’t find any innovations that have appeared since then. Those. the summary is this: master this book, then you can read something newer. For example, the official documentation
