| 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. |
