From 3d3c23ae4e21504fa2714a04aa6a16a1491f12d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elena Zannoni Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 20:05:51 +0000 Subject: Initial revision --- readline/NEWS | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 32 insertions(+) create mode 100644 readline/NEWS (limited to 'readline/NEWS') diff --git a/readline/NEWS b/readline/NEWS new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..c5e67dc793f --- /dev/null +++ b/readline/NEWS @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +This is a terse description of the new features added to readline-5.1 since +the release of readline-5.0. + +1. New Features in Readline + +a. The key sequence sent by the keypad `delete' key is now automatically + bound to delete-char. + +b. A negative argument to menu-complete now cycles backward through the + completion list. + +c. A new bindable readline variable: bind-tty-special-chars. If non-zero, + readline will bind the terminal special characters to their readline + equivalents when it's called (on by default). + +d. New bindable command: vi-rubout. Saves deleted text for possible + reinsertion, as with any vi-mode `text modification' command; `X' is bound + to this in vi command mode. + +e. If the rl_completion_query_items is set to a value < 0, readline never + asks the user whether or not to view the possible completions. + +f. New application-callable auxiliary function, rl_variable_value, returns + a string corresponding to a readline variable's value. + +g. When parsing inputrc files and variable binding commands, the parser + strips trailing whitespace from values assigned to boolean variables + before checking them. + +h. A new external application-controllable variable that allows the LINES + and COLUMNS environment variables to set the window size regardless of + what the kernel returns. -- cgit v1.2.1
