| This is a terse description of the new features added to readline-6.2 since |
| the release of readline-6.1. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| b. New bindable variable `completion-display-width' to set the number of |
| columns used when displaying completions. |
| |
| c. New bindable variable `completion-case-map' to cause case-insensitive |
| completion to treat `-' and `_' as identical. |
| |
| d. There are new bindable vi-mode command names to avoid readline's case- |
| insensitive matching not allowing them to be bound separately. |
| |
| 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. |
