-This is a terse description of the new features added to readline-5.1 since
-the release of readline-5.0.
+This is a terse description of the new features added to readline-6.2 since
+the release of readline-6.1.
-1. New Features in Readline
+a. The history library does not try to write the history filename in the
+ current directory if $HOME is unset. This closes a potential security
+ problem if the application does not specify a history filename.
-a. The key sequence sent by the keypad `delete' key is now automatically
- bound to delete-char.
+b. New bindable variable `completion-display-width' to set the number of
+ columns used when displaying completions.
-b. A negative argument to menu-complete now cycles backward through the
- completion list.
+c. New bindable variable `completion-case-map' to cause case-insensitive
+ completion to treat `-' and `_' as identical.
-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. There are new bindable vi-mode command names to avoid readline's case-
+ insensitive matching not allowing them to be bound separately.
-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. New application-callable auxiliary function, rl_variable_value, returns
- a string corresponding to a readline variable's value.
-
-g. When parsing inputrc files and variable binding commands, the parser
- strips trailing whitespace from values assigned to boolean variables
- before checking them.
-
-h. 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.
+e. New bindable variable `menu-complete-display-prefix' causes the menu
+ completion code to display the common prefix of the possible completions
+ before cycling through the list, instead of after.
