This reverts commitb558ff043d. This reverts commit4a11f20659. The initial import commit failed to retain local changes made to readline's configure.in (and the commit message erroneously stated that there were no local changes that needed to be reapplied). Also the import caused a couple of build errors and a scattering of testsuite regressions throughout many arches. It's probably better to start over with this import, hopefully more carefully next time.

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.
