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. |
