+
+ 8/3
+ ---
+shlib/Makefile.in

+support/shlib-install
+ - OSF/1 installs shared libraries like Solaris
+
+Makefile.in
+ - broke the header file install and uninstall into two new targets:
+ install-headers and uninstall-headers
+ - install and uninstall depend on install-headers and uninstall-headers
+ respectively
+ - changed install-shared and uninstall-shared targets to depend on
+ install-headers and uninstall-headers, respectively, so users may
+ choose to install only the shared libraries. I'm not sure about
+ the uninstall one yet -- maybe it should check whether or not
+ the static libraries are installed and not remove the header files
+ if they are

+
+Makefile.in,shlib/Makefile.in
+ - make sure that compat.o/compat.so are built and linked apppropriately
+
+support/shobj-conf
+ - picked up bash version, which means that shared libs built on
+ linux and BSD/OS 4.x will have an soname that does not include
+ the minor version number
+
+ 11/13
+ -----
+examples/rlfe.c
+ - rlfe can perform filename completion for relative pathnames in the
+ inferior process's context if the OS supports /proc/PID/cwd (linux

+This document details the changes between this version, readline-6.0,
+and the previous version, readline-5.2.
+
+1. Changes to Readline
+
+a. Fixed a number of redisplay errors in environments supporting multibyte
+ characters.
+
+b. Fixed bugs in vi command mode that caused motion commands to inappropriately
+ set the mark.
+
+c. When using the arrow keys in vi insertion mode, readline allows movement
+ beyond the current end of the line (unlike command mode).
+
+d. Fixed bugs that caused readline to loop when the terminal has been taken
+ away and reads return -1/EIO.
+
+e. Fixed bugs in redisplay occurring when displaying prompts containing
+ invisible characters.
+
+f. Fixed a bug that caused the completion append character to not be reset to
+ the default after an application-specified completion function changed it.
+
+g. Fixed a problem that caused incorrect positioning of the cursor while in
+ emacs editing mode when moving forward at the end of a line while using
+ a locale supporting multibyte characters.
+
+h. Fixed an off-by-one error that caused readline to drop every 511th
+ character of buffered input.
+
+i. Fixed a bug that resulted in SIGTERM not being caught or cleaned up.
+
+j. Fixed redisplay bugs caused by multiline prompts with invisible characters
+ or no characters following the final newline.
+
+k. Fixed redisplay bug caused by prompts consisting solely of invisible
+ characters.
+
+l. Fixed a bug in the code that buffers characters received very quickly in
+ succession which caused characters to be dropped.
+
+m. Fixed a bug that caused readline to reference uninitialized data structures
+ if it received a SIGWINCH before completing initialzation.
+
+n. Fixed a bug that caused the vi-mode `last command' to be set incorrectly
+ and therefore unrepeatable.
+
+o. Fixed a bug that caused readline to disable echoing when it was being used
+ with an output file descriptor that was not a terminal.
+
+p. Readline now blocks SIGINT while manipulating internal data structures
+ during redisplay.
+
+q. Fixed a bug in redisplay that caused readline to segfault when pasting a
+ very long line (over 130,000 characters).
+
+r. Fixed bugs in redisplay when using prompts with no visible printing
+ characters.
+
+s. Fixed a bug that caused redisplay errors when using prompts with invisible
+ characters and numeric arguments to a command in a multibyte locale.
+
+t. Fixed a bug that caused redisplay errors when using prompts with invisible
+ characters spanning more than two physical screen lines.
+
+2. New Features in Readline
+
+a. A new variable, rl_sort_completion_matches; allows applications to inhibit
+ match list sorting (but beware: some things don't work right if
+ applications do this).
+
+b. A new variable, rl_completion_invoking_key; allows applications to discover
+ the key that invoked rl_complete or rl_menu_complete.
+
+c. The functions rl_block_sigint and rl_release_sigint are now public and
+ available to calling applications who want to protect critical sections
+ (like redisplay).
+
+d. The functions rl_save_state and rl_restore_state are now public and
+ available to calling applications; documented rest of readline's state
+ flag values.
+
+e. A new user-settable variable, `history-size', allows setting the maximum
+ number of entries in the history list.
+
+f. There is a new implementation of menu completion, with several improvements
+ over the old; the most notable improvement is a better `completions
+ browsing' mode.
+
+g. The menu completion code now uses the rl_menu_completion_entry_function
+ variable, allowing applications to provide their own menu completion
+ generators.
+
+h. There is support for replacing a prefix of a pathname with a `...' when
+ displaying possible completions. This is controllable by setting the
+ `completion-prefix-display-length' variable. Matches with a common prefix
+ longer than this value have the common prefix replaced with `...'.
+
+i. There is a new `revert-all-at-newline' variable. If enabled, readline will
+ undo all outstanding changes to all history lines when `accept-line' is
+ executed.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This document details the changes between this version, readline-5.2,
+and the previous version, readline-5.1.
+
+1. Changes to Readline
+
+a. Fixed a problem that caused segmentation faults when using readline in
+ callback mode and typing consecutive DEL characters on an empty line.
+
+b. Fixed several redisplay problems with multibyte characters, all having to
+ do with the different code paths and variable meanings between single-byte
+ and multibyte character redisplay.
+
+c. Fixed a problem with key sequence translation when presented with the
+ sequence \M-\C-x.
+
+d. Fixed a problem that prevented the `a' command in vi mode from being
+ undone and redone properly.
+
+e. Fixed a problem that prevented empty inserts in vi mode from being undone
+ properly.
+
+f. Fixed a problem that caused readline to initialize with an incorrect idea
+ of whether or not the terminal can autowrap.
+
+g. Fixed output of key bindings (like bash `bind -p') to honor the setting of
+ convert-meta and use \e where appropriate.
+
+h. Changed the default filename completion function to call the filename
+ dequoting function if the directory completion hook isn't set. This means
+ that any directory completion hooks need to dequote the directory name,
+ since application-specific hooks need to know how the word was quoted,
+ even if no other changes are made.
+
+i. Fixed a bug with creating the prompt for a non-interactive search string
+ when there are non-printing characters in the primary prompt.
+
+j. Fixed a bug that caused prompts with invisible characters to be redrawn
+ multiple times in a multibyte locale.
+
+k. Fixed a bug that could cause the key sequence scanning code to return the
+ wrong function.
+
+l. Fixed a problem with the callback interface that caused it to fail when
+ using multi-character keyboard macros.
+
+m. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump when an edited history entry was
+ re-executed under certain conditions.
+
+n. Fixed a bug that caused readline to reference freed memory when attmpting
+ to display a portion of the prompt.
+
+o. Fixed a bug with prompt redisplay in a multi-byte locale to avoid redrawing
+ the prompt and input line multiple times.
+
+p. Fixed history expansion to not be confused by here-string redirection.
+
+q. Readline no longer treats read errors by converting them to newlines, as
+ it does with EOF. This caused partial lines to be returned from readline().
+
+r. Fixed a redisplay bug that occurred in multibyte-capable locales when the
+ prompt was one character longer than the screen width.
+
+2. New Features in Readline
+
+a. Calling applications can now set the keyboard timeout to 0, allowing
+ poll-like behavior.
+
+b. The value of SYS_INPUTRC (configurable at compilation time) is now used as
+ the default last-ditch startup file.
+
+c. The history file reading functions now allow windows-like \r\n line
+ terminators.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This document details the changes between this version, readline-5.1,
+and the previous version, readline-5.0.
+
+1. Changes to Readline
+
+a. Fixed a bug that caused multiliine prompts to be wrapped and displayed
+ incorrectly.
+
+b. Fixed a bug that caused ^P/^N in emacs mode to fail to display the current
+ line correctly.
+
+c. Fixed a problem in computing the number of invisible characters on the first
+ line of a prompt whose length exceeds the screen width.
+
+d. Fixed vi-mode searching so that failure preserves the current line rather
+ than the last line in the history list.
+
+e. Fixed the vi-mode `~' command (change-case) to have the correct behavior at
+ end-of-line when manipulating multibyte characters.
+
+f. Fixed the vi-mode `r' command (change-char) to have the correct behavior at
+ end-of-line when manipulating multibyte characters.
+
+g. Fixed multiple bugs in the redisplay of multibyte characters: displaying
+ prompts longer than the screen width containing multibyte characters,
+
+h. Fix the calculation of the number of physical characters in the prompt
+ string when it contains multibyte characters.
+
+i. A non-zero value for the `rl_complete_suppress_append' variable now causes
+ no `/' to be appended to a directory name.
+
+j. Fixed forward-word and backward-word to work when words contained
+ multibyte characters.
+
+k. Fixed a bug in finding the delimiter of a `?' substring when performing
+ history expansion in a locale that supports multibyte characters.
+
+l. Fixed a memory leak caused by not freeing the timestamp in a history entry.
+
+m. Fixed a bug that caused "\M-x" style key bindings to not obey the setting
+ of the `convert-meta' variable.
+
+n. Fixed saving and restoring primary prompt when prompting for incremental
+ and non-incremental searches; search prompts now display multibyte
+ characters correctly.
+
+o. Fixed a bug that caused keys originally bound to self-insert but shadowed
+ by a multi-character key sequence to not be inserted.
+
+p. Fixed code so rl_prep_term_function and rl_deprep_term_function aren't
+ dereferenced if NULL (matching the documentation).
+
+q. Extensive changes to readline to add enough state so that commands
+ requiring additional characters (searches, multi-key sequences, numeric
+ arguments, commands requiring an additional specifier character like
+ vi-mode change-char, etc.) work without synchronously waiting for
+ additional input.
+
+r. Lots of changes so readline builds and runs on MinGW.
+
+s. Readline no longer tries to modify the terminal settings when running in
+ callback mode.
+
+t. The Readline display code no longer sets the location of the last invisible
+ character in the prompt if the \[\] sequence is empty.
+
+u. The `change-case' command now correctly changes the case of multibyte
+ characters.
+
+v. Changes to the shared library construction scripts to deal with Windows
+ DLL naming conventions for Cygwin.
+
+w. Fixed the redisplay code to avoid core dumps resulting from a poorly-timed
+ SIGWINCH.
+
+x. Fixed the non-incremental search code in vi mode to dispose of any current
+ undo list when copying a line from the history into the current editing
+ buffer.
+
+y. Fixed a bug that caused reversing the incremental search direction to
+ not work correctly.
+
+z. Fixed the vi-mode `U' command to only undo up to the first time insert mode
+ was entered, as Posix specifies.
+
+aa. Fixed a bug in the vi-mode `r' command that left the cursor in the wrong
+ place.
+
+bb. Fixed a redisplay bug caused by moving the cursor vertically to a line
+ with invisible characters in the prompt in a multibyte locale.
+
+cc. Fixed a bug that could cause the terminal special chars to be bound in the
+ wrong keymap in vi mode.
+
+2. New Features in Readline
+
+a. The key sequence sent by the keypad `delete' key is now automatically
+ bound to delete-char.
+
+b. A negative argument to menu-complete now cycles backward through the
+ completion list.
+
+c. A new bindable readline variable: bind-tty-special-chars. If non-zero,
+ readline will bind the terminal special characters to their readline
+ equivalents when it's called (on by default).
+
+d. New bindable command: vi-rubout. Saves deleted text for possible
+ reinsertion, as with any vi-mode `text modification' command; `X' is bound
+ to this in vi command mode.
+
+e. If the rl_completion_query_items is set to a value < 0, readline never
+ asks the user whether or not to view the possible completions.
+
+f. The `C-w' binding in incremental search now understands multibyte
+ characters.
+
+g. New application-callable auxiliary function, rl_variable_value, returns
+ a string corresponding to a readline variable's value.
+
+h. When parsing inputrc files and variable binding commands, the parser
+ strips trailing whitespace from values assigned to boolean variables
+ before checking them.
+
+i. A new external application-controllable variable that allows the LINES
+ and COLUMNS environment variables to set the window size regardless of
+ what the kernel returns.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This document details the changes between this version, readline-5.0,
+and the previous version, readline-4.3.
+
+1. Changes to Readline
+
+a. Fixes to avoid core dumps because of null pointer references in the
+ multibyte character code.
+
+b. Fix to avoid infinite recursion caused by certain key combinations.
+
+c. Fixed a bug that caused the vi-mode `last command' to be set incorrectly.
+
+d. Readline no longer tries to read ahead more than one line of input, even
+ when more is available.
+
+e. Fixed the code that adjusts the point to not mishandle null wide
+ characters.
+
+f. Fixed a bug in the history expansion `g' modifier that caused it to skip
+ every other match.
+
+g. Fixed a bug that caused the prompt to overwrite previous output when the
+ output doesn't contain a newline and the locale supports multibyte
+ characters. This same change fixes the problem of readline redisplay
+ slowing down dramatically as the line gets longer in multibyte locales.
+
+h. History traversal with arrow keys in vi insertion mode causes the cursor
+ to be placed at the end of the new line, like in emacs mode.
+
+i. The locale initialization code does a better job of using the right
+ precedence and defaulting when checking the appropriate environment
+ variables.
+
+j. Fixed the history word tokenizer to handle <( and >( better when used as
+ part of bash.
+
+k. The overwrite mode code received several bug fixes to improve undo.
+
+l. Many speedups to the multibyte character redisplay code.
+
+m. The callback character reading interface should not hang waiting to read
+ keyboard input.
+
+n. Fixed a bug with redoing vi-mode `s' command.
+
+o. The code that initializes the terminal tracks changes made to the terminal
+ special characters with stty(1) (or equivalent), so that these changes
+ are reflected in the readline bindings. New application-callable function
+ to make it work: rl_tty_unset_default_bindings().
+
+p. Fixed a bug that could cause garbage to be inserted in the buffer when
+ changing character case in vi mode when using a multibyte locale.
+
+q. Fixed a bug in the redisplay code that caused problems on systems
+ supporting multibyte characters when moving between history lines when the
+ new line has more glyphs but fewer bytes.
+
+r. Undo and redo now work better after exiting vi insertion mode.
+
+s. Make sure system calls are restarted after a SIGWINCH is received using
+ SA_RESTART.
+
+t. Improvements to the code that displays possible completions when using
+ multibyte characters.
+
+u. Fixed a problem when parsing nested if statements in inputrc files.
+
+v. The completer now takes multibyte characters into account when looking for
+ quoted substrings on which to perform completion.
+
+w. The history search functions now perform better bounds checking on the
+ history list.
+
+x. Change to history expansion functions to treat `^' as equivalent to word
+ one, as the documention states.
+
+y. Some changes to the display code to improve display and redisplay of
+ multibyte characters.
+
+z. Changes to speed up the multibyte character redisplay code.
+
+aa. Fixed a bug in the vi-mode `E' command that caused it to skip over the
+ last character of a word if invoked while point was on the word's
+ next-to-last character.
+
+bb. Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect filename quoting when
+ case-insensitive completion was enabled and the word being completed
+ contained backslashes quoting word break characters.
+
+cc. Fixed a bug in redisplay triggered when the prompt string contains
+ invisible characters.
+
+dd. Fixed some display (and other) bugs encountered in multibyte locales
+ when a non-ascii character was the last character on a line.
+
+ee. Fixed some display bugs caused by multibyte characters in prompt strings.
+
+ff. Fixed a problem with history expansion caused by non-whitespace characters
+ used as history word delimiters.
+
+gg. Fixed a problem that could cause readline to refer to freed memory when
+ moving between history lines while doing searches.
+
+hh. Improvements to the code that expands and displays prompt strings
+ containing multibyte characters.
+
+ii. Fixed a problem with vi-mode not correctly remembering the numeric argument
+ to the last `c'hange command for later use with `.'.
+
+jj. Fixed a bug in vi-mode that caused multi-digit count arguments to work
+ incorrectly.
+
+kk. Fixed a problem in vi-mode that caused the last text modification command
+ to not be remembered across different command lines.
+
+ll. Fixed problems with changing characters and changing case at the end of
+ the line.
+
+mm. Fixed a problem with readline saving the contents of the current line
+ before beginning a non-interactive search.
+
+nn. Fixed a problem with EOF detection when using rl_event_hook.
+
+oo. Fixed a problem with the vi mode `p' and `P' commands ignoring numeric
+ arguments.
+
+2. New Features in Readline
+
+a. History expansion has a new `a' modifier equivalent to the `g' modifier
+ for compatibility with the BSD csh.
+
+b. History expansion has a new `G' modifier equivalent to the BSD csh `g'
+ modifier, which performs a substitution once per word.
+
+c. All non-incremental search operations may now undo the operation of
+ replacing the current line with the history line.
+
+d. The text inserted by an `a' command in vi mode can be reinserted with
+ `.'.
+
+e. New bindable variable, `show-all-if-unmodified'. If set, the readline
+ completer will list possible completions immediately if there is more
+ than one completion and partial completion cannot be performed.
+
+f. There is a new application-callable `free_history_entry()' function.
+
+g. History list entries now contain timestamp information; the history file
+ functions know how to read and write timestamp information associated
+ with each entry.
+
+h. Four new key binding functions have been added:
+
+ rl_bind_key_if_unbound()
+ rl_bind_key_if_unbound_in_map()
+ rl_bind_keyseq_if_unbound()
+ rl_bind_keyseq_if_unbound_in_map()
+
+i. New application variable, rl_completion_quote_character, set to any
+ quote character readline finds before it calls the application completion
+ function.
+
+j. New application variable, rl_completion_suppress_quote, settable by an
+ application completion function. If set to non-zero, readline does not
+ attempt to append a closing quote to a completed word.
+
+k. New application variable, rl_completion_found_quote, set to a non-zero
+ value if readline determines that the word to be completed is quoted.
+ Set before readline calls any application completion function.
+
+l. New function hook, rl_completion_word_break_hook, called when readline
+ needs to break a line into words when completion is attempted. Allows
+ the word break characters to vary based on position in the line.
+
+m. New bindable command: unix-filename-rubout. Does the same thing as
+ unix-word-rubout, but adds `/' to the set of word delimiters.
+
+n. When listing completions, directories have a `/' appended if the
+ `mark-directories' option has been enabled.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This document details the changes between this version, readline-4.3,
+and the previous version, readline-4.2a.
+
+1. Changes to Readline
+
+a. Fixed output of comment-begin character when listing variable values.
+
+b. Added some default key bindings for common escape sequences produced by
+ HOME and END keys.
+
+c. Fixed the mark handling code to be more emacs-compatible.
+
+d. A bug was fixed in the code that prints possible completions to keep it
+ from printing empty strings in certain circumstances.
+
+e. Change the key sequence printing code to print ESC as M\- if ESC is a
+ meta-prefix character -- it's easier for users to understand than \e.
+
+f. Fixed unstifle_history() to return values that match the documentation.
+
+g. Fixed the event loop (rl_event_hook) to handle the case where the input
+ file descriptor is invalidated.
+
+h. Fixed the prompt display code to work better when the application has a
+ custom redisplay function.
+
+i. Changes to make reading and writing the history file a little faster, and
+ to cope with huge history files without calling abort(3) from xmalloc.
+
+j. The vi-mode `S' and `s' commands are now undone correctly.
+
+k. Fixed a problem which caused the display to be messed up when the last
+ line of a multi-line prompt (possibly containing invisible characters)
+ was longer than the screen width.
+
+2. New Features in Readline
+
+a. Support for key `subsequences': allows, e.g., ESC and ESC-a to both
+ be bound to readline functions. Now the arrow keys may be used in vi
+ insert mode.
+
+b. When listing completions, and the number of lines displayed is more than
+ the screen length, readline uses an internal pager to display the results.
+ This is controlled by the `page-completions' variable (default on).
+
+c. New code to handle editing and displaying multibyte characters.
+
+d. The behavior introduced in bash-2.05a of deciding whether or not to
+ append a slash to a completed name that is a symlink to a directory has
+ been made optional, controlled by the `mark-symlinked-directories'
+ variable (default is the 2.05a behavior).
+
+e. The `insert-comment' command now acts as a toggle if given a numeric
+ argument: if the first characters on the line don't specify a
+ comment, insert one; if they do, delete the comment text
+
+f. New application-settable completion variable:
+ rl_completion_mark_symlink_dirs, allows an application's completion
+ function to temporarily override the user's preference for appending
+ slashes to names which are symlinks to directories.
+
+g. New function available to application completion functions:
+ rl_completion_mode, to tell how the completion function was invoked
+ and decide which argument to supply to rl_complete_internal (to list
+ completions, etc.).
+
+h. Readline now has an overwrite mode, toggled by the `overwrite-mode'
+ bindable command, which could be bound to `Insert'.
+
+i. New application-settable completion variable:
+ rl_completion_suppress_append, inhibits appending of
+ rl_completion_append_character to completed words.
+
+j. New key bindings when reading an incremental search string: ^W yanks
+ the currently-matched word out of the current line into the search
+ string; ^Y yanks the rest of the current line into the search string,
+ DEL or ^H deletes characters from the search string.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This document details the changes between this version, readline-4.2a,
+and the previous version, readline-4.2.
+
+1. Changes to Readline
+
+a. More `const' and type casting fixes.
+
+b. Changed rl_message() to use vsnprintf(3) (if available) to fix buffer
+ overflow problems.
+
+c. The completion code no longer appends a `/' or ` ' to a match when
+ completing a symbolic link that resolves to a directory name, unless
+ the match does not add anything to the word being completed. This
+ means that a tab will complete the word up to the full name, but not
+ add anything, and a subsequent tab will add a slash.
+
+d. Fixed a trivial typo that made the vi-mode `dT' command not work.
+
+e. Fixed the tty code so that ^S and ^Q can be inserted with rl_quoted_insert.
+
+f. Fixed the tty code so that ^V works more than once.
+
+g. Changed the use of __P((...)) for function prototypes to PARAMS((...))
+ because the use of __P in typedefs conflicted g++ and glibc.
+
+h. The completion code now attempts to do a better job of preserving the
+ case of the word the user typed if ignoring case in completions.
+
+i. Readline defaults to not echoing the input and lets the terminal
+ initialization code enable echoing if there is a controlling terminal.
+
+j. The key binding code now processes only two hex digits after a `\x'
+ escape sequence, and the documentation was changed to note that the
+ octal and hex escape sequences result in an eight-bit value rather
+ than strict ASCII.
+
+k. Fixed a few places where negative array subscripts could have occurred.
+
+l. Fixed the vi-mode code to use a better method to determine the bounds of
+ the array used to hold the marks, and to avoid out-of-bounds references.
+
+m. Fixed the defines in chardefs.h to work better when chars are signed.
+
+n. Fixed configure.in to use the new names for bash autoconf macros.
+
+o. Readline no longer attempts to define its own versions of some ctype
+ macros if they are implemented as functions in libc but not as macros in
+ <ctype.h>.
+
+p. Fixed a problem where rl_backward could possibly set point to before
+ the beginning of the line.
+
+q. Fixed Makefile to not put -I/usr/include into CFLAGS, since it can cause
+ include file problems.
+
+2. New Features in Readline
+
+a. Added extern declaration for rl_get_termcap to readline.h, making it a
+ public function (it was always there, just not in readline.h).
+
+b. New #defines in readline.h: RL_READLINE_VERSION, currently 0x0402,
+ RL_VERSION_MAJOR, currently 4, and RL_VERSION_MINOR, currently 2.
+
+c. New readline variable: rl_readline_version, mirrors RL_READLINE_VERSION.
+
+d. New bindable boolean readline variable: match-hidden-files. Controls
+ completion of files beginning with a `.' (on Unix). Enabled by default.
+
+e. The history expansion code now allows any character to terminate a
+ `:first-' modifier, like csh.
+
+f. The incremental search code remembers the last search string and uses
+ it if ^R^R is typed without a search string.
+
+h. New bindable variable `history-preserve-point'. If set, the history
+ code attempts to place the user at the same location on each history
+ line retrived with previous-history or next-history.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This document details the changes between this version, readline-4.2,
+and the previous version, readline-4.1.
+
+1. Changes to Readline
+
+a. When setting the terminal attributes on systems using `struct termio',
+ readline waits for output to drain before changing the attributes.
+
+b. A fix was made to the history word tokenization code to avoid attempts to
+ dereference a null pointer.
+
+c. Readline now defaults rl_terminal_name to $TERM if the calling application
+ has left it unset, and tries to initialize with the resultant value.
+
+d. Instead of calling (*rl_getc_function)() directly to get input in certain
+ places, readline now calls rl_read_key() consistently.
+
+e. Fixed a bug in the completion code that allowed a backslash to quote a
+ single quote inside a single-quoted string.
+
+f. rl_prompt is no longer assigned directly from the argument to readline(),
+ but uses memory allocated by readline. This allows constant strings to
+ be passed to readline without problems arising when the prompt processing
+ code wants to modify the string.
+
+g. Fixed a bug that caused non-interactive history searches to return the
+ wrong line when performing multiple searches backward for the same string.
+
+h. Many variables, function arguments, and function return values are now
+ declared `const' where appropriate, to improve behavior when linking with
+ C++ code.
+
+i. The control character detection code now works better on systems where
+ `char' is unsigned by default.
+
+j. The vi-mode numeric argument is now capped at 999999, just like emacs mode.
+
+k. The Function, CPFunction, CPPFunction, and VFunction typedefs have been
+ replaced with a set of specific prototyped typedefs, though they are
+ still in the readline header files for backwards compatibility.
+
+m. Nearly all of the (undocumented) internal global variables in the library
+ now have an _rl_ prefix -- there were a number that did not, like
+ screenheight, screenwidth, alphabetic, etc.
+
+n. The ding() convenience function has been renamed to rl_ding(), though the
+ old function is still defined for backwards compatibility.
+
+o. The completion convenience functions filename_completion_function,
+ username_completion_function, and completion_matches now have an rl_
+ prefix, though the old names are still defined for backwards compatibility.
+
+p. The functions shared by readline and bash (linkage is satisfied from bash
+ when compiling with bash, and internally otherwise) now have an sh_ prefix.
+
+q. Changed the shared library creation procedure on Linux and BSD/OS 4.x so
+ that the `soname' contains only the major version number rather than the
+ major and minor numbers.
+
+r. Fixed a redisplay bug that occurred when the prompt spanned more than one
+ physical line and contained invisible characters.
+
+s. Added a missing `includedir' variable to the Makefile.
+
+t. When installing the shared libraries, make sure symbolic links are relative.
+
+u. Added configure test so that it can set `${MAKE}' appropriately.
+
+v. Fixed a bug in rl_forward that could cause the point to be set to before
+ the beginning of the line in vi mode.
+
+w. Fixed a bug in the callback read-char interface to make it work when a
+ readline function pushes some input onto the input stream with
+ rl_execute_next (like the incremental search functions).
+
+x. Fixed a file descriptor leak in the history file manipulation code that
+ was tripped when attempting to truncate a non-regular file (like
+ /dev/null).
+
+y. Changes to make all of the exported readline functions declared in
+ readline.h have an rl_ prefix (rltty_set_default_bindings is now
+ rl_tty_set_default_bindings, crlf is now rl_crlf, etc.)
+
+z. The formatted documentation included in the base readline distribution
+ is no longer removed on a `make distclean'.
+
+aa. Some changes were made to avoid gcc warnings with -Wall.
+
+bb. rl_get_keymap_by_name now finds keymaps case-insensitively, so
+ `set keymap EMACS' works.
+
+cc. The history file writing and truncation functions now return a useful
+ status on error.
+
+dd. Fixed a bug that could cause applications to dereference a NULL pointer
+ if a NULL second argument was passed to history_expand().
+
+ee. If a hook function assigned to rl_event_hook sets rl_done to a non-zero
+ value, rl_read_key() now immediately returns '\n' (which is assumed to
+ be bound to accept-line).
+
+2. New Features in Readline
+
+a. The blink timeout for paren matching is now settable by applications,
+ via the rl_set_paren_blink_timeout() function.
+
+b. _rl_executing_macro has been renamed to rl_executing_macro, which means
+ it's now part of the public interface.
+
+c. Readline has a new variable, rl_readline_state, which is a bitmap that
+ encapsulates the current state of the library; intended for use by
+ callbacks and hook functions.
+
+d. rlfe has a new -l option to log input and output (-a appends to logfile),
+ a new -n option to set the readline application name, and -v and -h
+ options for version and help information.
+
+e. rlfe can now perform filename completion for the inferior process if the
+ OS has a /proc/<PID>/cwd that can be read with readlink(2) to get the
+ inferior's current working directory.
+
+f. A new file, rltypedefs.h, contains the new typedefs for function pointers
+ and is installed by `make install'.
+
+g. New application-callable function rl_set_prompt(const char *prompt):
+ expands its prompt string argument and sets rl_prompt to the result.
+
+h. New application-callable function rl_set_screen_size(int rows, int cols):
+ public method for applications to set readline's idea of the screen
+ dimensions.
+
+i. The history example program (examples/histexamp.c) is now built as one
+ of the examples.
+
+j. The documentation has been updated to cover nearly all of the public
+ functions and variables declared in readline.h.
+
+k. New function, rl_get_screen_size (int *rows, int *columns), returns
+ readline's idea of the screen dimensions.
+
+l. The timeout in rl_gather_tyi (readline keyboard input polling function)
+ is now settable via a function (rl_set_keyboard_input_timeout()).
+
+m. Renamed the max_input_history variable to history_max_entries; the old
+ variable is maintained for backwards compatibility.
+
+n. The list of characters that separate words for the history tokenizer is
+ now settable with a variable: history_word_delimiters. The default
+ value is as before.
+
+o. There is a new history.3 manual page documenting the history library.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This document details the changes between this version, readline-4.1,
+and the previous version, readline-4.0.
+
+1. Changes to Readline
+
+a. Changed the HTML documents so that the table-of-contents is no longer
+ a separate file.
+
+b. Changes to the shared object configuration for: Irix 5.x, Irix 6.x,
+ OSF/1.
+
+c. The shared library major and minor versions are now constructed
+ automatically by configure and substituted into the makefiles.
+
+d. It's now possible to install the shared libraries separately from the
+ static libraries.
+
+e. The history library tries to truncate the history file only if it is a
+ regular file.
+
+f. A bug that caused _rl_dispatch to address negative array indices on
+ systems with signed chars was fixed.
+
+g. rl-yank-nth-arg now leaves the history position the same as when it was
+ called.
+
+h. Changes to the completion code to handle MS-DOS drive-letter:pathname
+ filenames.
+
+i. Completion is now case-insensitive by default on MS-DOS.
+
+j. Fixes to the history file manipulation code for MS-DOS.
+
+k. Readline attempts to bind the arrow keys to appropriate defaults on MS-DOS.
+
+l. Some fixes were made to the redisplay code for better operation on MS-DOS.
+
+m. The quoted-insert code will now insert tty special chars like ^C.
+
+n. A bug was fixed that caused the display code to reference memory before
+ the start of the prompt string.
+
+o. More support for __EMX__ (OS/2).
+
+p. A bug was fixed in readline's signal handling that could cause infinite
+ recursion in signal handlers.
+
+q. A bug was fixed that caused the point to be less than zero when rl_forward
+ was given a very large numeric argument.
+
+r. The vi-mode code now gets characters via the application-settable value
+ of rl_getc_function rather than calling rl_getc directly.
+
+s. The history file code now uses O_BINARY mode when reading and writing
+ the history file on cygwin32.
+
+t. Fixed a bug in the redisplay code for lines with more than 256 line
+ breaks.
+
+u. A bug was fixed which caused invisible character markers to not be
+ stripped from the prompt string if the terminal was in no-echo mode.
+
+v. Readline no longer tries to get the variables it needs for redisplay
+ from the termcap entry if the calling application has specified its
+ own redisplay function. Readline treats the terminal as `dumb' in
+ this case.
+
+w. Fixes to the SIGWINCH code so that a multiple-line prompt with escape
+ sequences is redrawn correctly.
+
+x. Changes to the install and install-shared targets so that the libraries
+ and header files are installed separately.
+
+2. New Features in Readline
+
+a. A new Readline `user manual' is in doc/rluserman.texinfo.
+
+b. Parentheses matching is now always compiled into readline, and enabled
+ or disabled when the value of the `blink-matching-paren' variable is
+ changed.
+
+c. MS-DOS systems now use ~/_inputrc as the last-ditch inputrc filename.
+
+d. MS-DOS systems now use ~/_history as the default history file.
+
+e. history-search-{forward,backward} now leave the point at the end of the
+ line when the string to search for is empty, like
+ {reverse,forward}-search-history.
+
+f. history-search-{forward,backward} now leave the last history line found
+ in the readline buffer if the second or subsequent search fails.
+
+g. New function for use by applications: rl_on_new_line_with_prompt, used
+ when an application displays the prompt itself before calling readline().
+
+h. New variable for use by applications: rl_already_prompted. An application
+ that displays the prompt itself before calling readline() must set this to
+ a non-zero value.
+
+i. A new variable, rl_gnu_readline_p, always 1. The intent is that an
+ application can verify whether or not it is linked with the `real'
+ readline library or some substitute.
+
+j. Per Bothner's `rlfe' (pronounced `Ralphie') readline front-end program
+ is included in the examples subdirectory, though it is not built
+ by default.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This document details the changes between this version, readline-4.0,
+and the previous version, readline-2.2.
+
+1. Changes to Readline
+
+a. The version number is now 4.0, to match the major and minor version
+ numbers on the shared readline and history libraries. Future
+ releases will maintain the identical numbering.
+
+b. Fixed a typo in the `make install' recipe that copied libreadline.a
+ to libhistory.old right after installing it.
+
+c. The readline and history info files are now installed out of the source
+ directory if they are not found in the build directory.
+
+d. The library no longer exports a function named `savestring' -- backwards
+ compatibility be damned.
+
+e. There is no longer any #ifdef SHELL code in the source files.
+
+f. Some changes were made to the key binding code to fix memory leaks and
+ better support Win32 systems.
+
+g. Fixed a silly typo in the paren matching code -- it's microseconds, not
+ milliseconds.
+
+h. The readline library should be compilable by C++ compilers.
+
+i. The readline.h public header file now includes function prototypes for
+ all readline functions, and some changes were made to fix errors in the
+ source files uncovered by the use of prototypes.
+
+j. The maximum numeric argument is now clamped at 1000000.
+
+k. Fixes to rl_yank_last_arg to make it behave better.
+
+l. Fixed a bug in the display code that caused core dumps if the prompt
+ string length exceeded 1024 characters.
+
+m. The menu completion code was fixed to properly insert a single completion
+ if there is only one match.
+
+n. A bug was fixed that caused the display code to improperly display tabs
+ after newlines.
+
+o. A fix was made to the completion code in which a typo caused the wrong
+ value to be passed to the function that computed the longest common
+ prefix of the list of matches.
+
+p. The completion code now checks the value of rl_filename_completion_desired,
+ which is set by application-supplied completion functions to indicate
+ that filename completion is being performed, to decide whether or not to
+ call an application-supplied `ignore completions' function.
+
+q. Code was added to the history library to catch history substitutions
+ using `&' without a previous history substitution or search having been
+ performed.
+
+
+2. New Features in Readline
+
+a. There is a new script, support/shobj-conf, to do system-specific shared
+ object and library configuration. It generates variables for configure
+ to substitute into makefiles. The README file provides a detailed
+ explanation of the shared library creation process.
+
+b. Shared libraries and objects are now built in the `shlib' subdirectory.
+ There is a shlib/Makefile.in to control the build process. `make shared'
+ from the top-level directory is still the right way to build shared
+ versions of the libraries.
+
+c. rlconf.h is now installed, so applications can find out which features
+ have been compiled into the installed readline and history libraries.
+
+d. rlstdc.h is now an installed header file.
+
+e. Many changes to the signal handling:
+ o Readline now catches SIGQUIT and cleans up the tty before returning;
+ o A new variable, rl_catch_signals, is available to application writers
+ to indicate to readline whether or not it should install its own
+ signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGQUIT, SIGALRM, SIGTSTP,
+ SIGTTIN, and SIGTTOU;
+ o A new variable, rl_catch_sigwinch, is available to application
+ writers to indicate to readline whether or not it should install its
+ own signal handler for SIGWINCH, which will chain to the calling
+ applications's SIGWINCH handler, if one is installed;
+ o There is a new function, rl_free_line_state, for application signal
+ handlers to call to free up the state associated with the current
+ line after receiving a signal;
+ o There is a new function, rl_cleanup_after_signal, to clean up the
+ display and terminal state after receiving a signal;
+ o There is a new function, rl_reset_after_signal, to reinitialize the
+ terminal and display state after an application signal handler
+ returns and readline continues
+
+f. There is a new function, rl_resize_terminal, to reset readline's idea of
+ the screen size after a SIGWINCH.
+
+g. New public functions: rl_save_prompt and rl_restore_prompt. These were
+ previously private functions with a `_' prefix. These functions are
+ used when an application wants to write a message to the `message area'
+ with rl_message and have the prompt restored correctly when the message
+ is erased.
+
+h. New function hook: rl_pre_input_hook, called just before readline starts
+ reading input, after initialization.
+
+i. New function hook: rl_display_matches_hook, called when readline would
+ display the list of completion matches. The new function
+ rl_display_match_list is what readline uses internally, and is available
+ for use by application functions called via this hook.
+
+j. New bindable function, delete-char-or-list, like tcsh.
+
+k. A new variable, rl_erase_empty_line, which, if set by an application using
+ readline, will cause readline to erase, prompt and all, lines on which the
+ only thing typed was a newline.
+
+l. There is a new script, support/shlib-install, to install and uninstall
+ the shared readline and history libraries.
+
+m. A new bindable variable, `isearch-terminators', which is a string
+ containing the set of characters that should terminate an incremental
+ search without being executed as a command.
+
+n. A new bindable function, forward-backward-delete-char.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This document details the changes between this version, readline-2.2,
+and the previous version, readline-2.1.
+
+1. Changes to Readline
+
+a. Added a missing `extern' to a declaration in readline.h that kept
+ readline from compiling cleanly on some systems.
+
+b. The history file is now opened with mode 0600 when it is written for
+ better security.
+
+c. Changes were made to the SIGWINCH handling code so that prompt redisplay
+ is done better.
+
+d. ^G now interrupts incremental searches correctly.
+
+e. A bug that caused a core dump when the set of characters to be quoted
+ when completing words was empty was fixed.
+
+f. Fixed a problem in the readline test program rltest.c that caused a core
+ dump.
+
+g. The code that handles parser directives in inputrc files now displays
+ more error messages.
+
+h. The history expansion code was fixed so that the appearance of the
+ history comment character at the beginning of a word inhibits history
+ expansion for that word and the rest of the input line.
+
+i. The code that prints completion listings now behaves better if one or
+ more of the filenames contains non-printable characters.
+
+j. The time delay when showing matching parentheses is now 0.5 seconds.
+
+
+2. New Features in Readline
+
+a. There is now an option for `iterative' yank-last-arg handline, so a user
+ can keep entering `M-.', yanking the last argument of successive history
+ lines.
+
+b. New variable, `print-completions-horizontally', which causes completion
+ matches to be displayed across the screen (like `ls -x') rather than up
+ and down the screen (like `ls').
+
+c. New variable, `completion-ignore-case', which causes filename completion
+ and matching to be performed case-insensitively.
+
+d. There is a new bindable command, `magic-space', which causes history
+ expansion to be performed on the current readline buffer and a space to
+ be inserted into the result.
+
+e. There is a new bindable command, `menu-complete', which enables tcsh-like
+ menu completion (successive executions of menu-complete insert a single
+ completion match, cycling through the list of possible completions).
+
+f. There is a new bindable command, `paste-from-clipboard', for use on Win32
+ systems, to insert the text from the Win32 clipboard into the editing
+ buffer.
+
+g. The key sequence translation code now understands printf-style backslash
+ escape sequences, including \NNN octal escapes. These escape sequences
+ may be used in key sequence definitions or macro values.
+
+h. An `$include' inputrc file parser directive has been added.
