2and the previous version, readline-5.1.
3
41. Changes to Readline
5
6a. Fixed a problem that caused segmentation faults when using readline in
7 callback mode and typing consecutive DEL characters on an empty line.
8
9b. Fixed several redisplay problems with multibyte characters, all having to
10 do with the different code paths and variable meanings between single-byte
11 and multibyte character redisplay.
12
13c. Fixed a problem with key sequence translation when presented with the
14 sequence \M-\C-x.
15
16d. Fixed a problem that prevented the `a' command in vi mode from being
17 undone and redone properly.
18
19e. Fixed a problem that prevented empty inserts in vi mode from being undone
20 properly.
21
22f. Fixed a problem that caused readline to initialize with an incorrect idea
23 of whether or not the terminal can autowrap.
24
25g. Fixed output of key bindings (like bash `bind -p') to honor the setting of
26 convert-meta and use \e where appropriate.
27
28h. Changed the default filename completion function to call the filename
29 dequoting function if the directory completion hook isn't set. This means
30 that any directory completion hooks need to dequote the directory name,
31 since application-specific hooks need to know how the word was quoted,
32 even if no other changes are made.
33
34i. Fixed a bug with creating the prompt for a non-interactive search string
35 when there are non-printing characters in the primary prompt.
36
37j. Fixed a bug that caused prompts with invisible characters to be redrawn
38 multiple times in a multibyte locale.
39
40k. Fixed a bug that could cause the key sequence scanning code to return the
41 wrong function.
42
43l. Fixed a problem with the callback interface that caused it to fail when
44 using multi-character keyboard macros.
45
46m. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump when an edited history entry was
47 re-executed under certain conditions.
48
49n. Fixed a bug that caused readline to reference freed memory when attmpting
50 to display a portion of the prompt.
51
52o. Fixed a bug with prompt redisplay in a multi-byte locale to avoid redrawing
53 the prompt and input line multiple times.
54
55p. Fixed history expansion to not be confused by here-string redirection.
56
57q. Readline no longer treats read errors by converting them to newlines, as
58 it does with EOF. This caused partial lines to be returned from readline().
59
60r. Fixed a redisplay bug that occurred in multibyte-capable locales when the
61 prompt was one character longer than the screen width.
62
632. New Features in Readline
64
65a. Calling applications can now set the keyboard timeout to 0, allowing
66 poll-like behavior.
67
68b. The value of SYS_INPUTRC (configurable at compilation time) is now used as
69 the default last-ditch startup file.
70
71c. The history file reading functions now allow windows-like \r\n line
72 terminators.
