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. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a terse description of the new features added to readline-8.2 since the release of readline-8.1. |
