Description

New minor version.

Change History (2)

comment:1 by Bruce Dubbs, 2 months ago

  1. New Features in Readline
    a. Output a newline if there is no prompt and readline reads an empty line.
    
    b. The history library falls back to stdio when writing the history list if
       mmap fails.
    
    c. New bindable variable `search-ignore-case', causes readline to perform
       case-insensitive incremental and non-incremental history searches.
    
    d. rl_full_quoting_desired: new application-settable variable, causes all
       completions to be quoted as if they were filenames.
    
    e. rl_macro_display_hook: new application-settable function pointer, used if
       the application wants to print macro values itself instead of letting
       readline do it
    
    f. rl_reparse_colors: new application-callable function, reparses $LS_COLORS
       (presumably after the user changes it)
    
    g. rl_completion_rewrite_hook: new application-settable function pointer,
       called to modify the word being completed before comparing it against
       pathnames from the file system.
    
    h. execute-named-command: a new bindable command that reads the name of a
       readline command from the standard input and executes it. Bound to M-x
       in emacs mode by default.
    
    i. Incremental and non-incremental searches now allow ^V/^Q (or, in the former
       case, anything bound to quoted-insert) to quote characters in the search
       string.
    
    j. There is a new rl_print_keybinding function that prints the key bindings
       for a single bindable function specified by name.
    
    k. Documentation has been significantly updated.
    
    l. New `force-meta-prefix' bindable variable, which forces the use of ESC as
       the meta prefix when using "\M-" in key bindings instead of overloading
       convert-meta.
    
    m. The default value for `readline-colored-completion-prefix' no longer has a
       leading `.'; the original report was based on a misunderstanding.
    
    n. There is a new bindable command, `export-completions', which writes the
       possible completions for a word to the standard output in a defined format.
    
    o. Readline can reset its idea of the screen dimensions when executing after
       a SIGCONT.
