Changes to Readline - -a. The `make install' target was corrected so that it did not move the - newly-installed libreadline.a to libhistory.old - -b. The `make install' target for the documentation will now install the - info files from the source directory if they do not appear in the - build directory, since they are shipped in the readline tar file. - -c. Fixed a problem with redisplay that showed up when the prompt string was - longer than the screen width and the prompt contained invisible characters. - -d. Fixed a problem with the paren matching code -- the blink was far too - short (it's specified in microseconds, not milliseconds, Chet!). - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -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. |
