1 | This is a terse description of the new features added to readline-6.2 since |
| 2 | the release of readline-6.1. | |

4 | a. The history library does not try to write the history filename in the |
| 5 | current directory if $HOME is unset. This closes a potential security | |
| 6 | problem if the application does not specify a history filename. | |

8 | b. New bindable variable `completion-display-width' to set the number of |
| 9 | columns used when displaying completions. | |
| b585a9fa | 10 | |
| 5836a818 PP |
11 | c. New bindable variable `completion-case-map' to cause case-insensitive |
| 12 | completion to treat `-' and `_' as identical. | |

14 | d. There are new bindable vi-mode command names to avoid readline's case- |
| 15 | insensitive matching not allowing them to be bound separately. | |

17 | e. New bindable variable `menu-complete-display-prefix' causes the menu |
| 18 | completion code to display the common prefix of the possible completions | |
| 19 | before cycling through the list, instead of after. |
