+This is a terse description of the new features added to readline-8.2 since
+the release of readline-8.1.
+
+New Features in Readline
+
+a. There is now an HS_HISTORY_VERSION containing the version number of the
+   history library for applications to use.
+
+b. History expansion better understands multiple history expansions that may
+   contain strings that would ordinarily inhibit history expansion (e.g.,
+   `abc!$!$').
+
+c. There is a new framework for readline timeouts, including new public
+   functions to set timeouts and query how much time is remaining before a
+   timeout hits, and a hook function that can trigger when readline times
+   out. There is a new state value to indicate a timeout.
+
+d. Automatically bind termcap key sequences for page-up and page-down to
+   history-search-backward and history-search-forward, respectively.
+
+e. There is a new `fetch-history' bindable command that retrieves the history
+   entry corresponding to its numeric argument. Negative arguments count back
+   from the end of the history.
+
+f. `vi-undo' is now a bindable command.
+
+g. There is a new option: `enable-active-region'. This separates control of
+   the active region and bracketed-paste. It has the same default value as
+   bracketed-paste, and enabling bracketed paste enables the active region.
+   Users can now turn off the active region while leaving bracketed paste
+   enabled.
+
+h. rl_completer_word_break_characters is now `const char *' like
+   rl_basic_word_break_characters.
+
+i. Readline looks in $LS_COLORS for a custom filename extension
+   (*.readline-colored-completion-prefix) and uses that as the default color
+   for the common prefix displayed when `colored-completion-prefix' is set.
+
+j. Two new bindable string variables: active-region-start-color and
+   active-region-end-color. The first sets the color used to display the
+   active region; the second turns it off. If set, these are used in place
+   of terminal standout mode.
+
+k. New readline state (RL_STATE_EOF) and application-visible variable
+   (rl_eof_found) to allow applications to detect when readline reads EOF
+   before calling the deprep-terminal hook.
+
+l. There is a new configuration option: --with-shared-termcap-library, which
+   forces linking the shared readline library with the shared termcap (or
+   curses/ncurses/termlib) library so applications don't have to do it.
