	  autoconf set the value itself in the Makefile
	- removed a stray `-' before $(RANLIB) in the `install' recipe

doc/Makefile.in
	- add a VPATH assignment so the documentation is not remade if it's
	  already up-to-date in the distribution

configure.in
	- call AC_SUBST(LOCAL_LDFLAGS), since Makefile.in contains
	  @LOCAL_LDFLAGS@

				   4/18
				   ----
[readline-2.2 released]

				   4/20
				   ----
Makefile.in
	- make `libhistory.a' a dependency of `install'
	- fixed a typo in the recipe for `install' that copied libreadline.a
	  to libhistory.old right after installing it

				   4/27
				   ----
doc/Makefile.in
	- install {readline,history}.info out of the source directory if
	  they are not found in the current (build) directory -- only an
	  issue if the libraries are built in a different directory than
	  the source directory

				    5/1
				    ---
support/shobj-conf
	- script from the bash distribution to do shared object and library
	  configuration

				   5/14
				   ----
savestring.c
	- new file, moved from shell.c, for backwards compatibility

Makefile.in, shlib/Makefile.in
	- make sure savestring.c is compiled and added to libreadline and
	  libhistory

Makefile.in
	- bumped SHLIB_MAJOR up to 4 since we've augmented the library

				    8/3
				    ---
shlib/Makefile.in
	- made the suffix rule that creates xx.so from xx.c write the
	  compiler output to `a.o', which is then mv'd to xx.so, because
	  some compilers (Sun WSpro 4.2, for example) don't allow any
	  suffixes other than `.o' for `cc -c' (not even `a.out')

				   9/15
				   ----

				   ----
Makefile.in
	- removed savestring.o from object file list

				   10/28
				   -----
shlib/Makefile.in

	- call AC_SUBST for SHOBJ_XLDFLAGS and SHLIB_LIBS

shlib/Makefile.in
	- SHOBJ_XLDFLAGS and SHLIB_LIBS are now substituted by configure
	- add $(SHLIB_LIBS) at end of command line that builds the shared
	  libraries (currently needed only by AIX 4.2)

				   12/31
				   -----
MANIFEST, MANIFEST.doc
	- the TOC html files are no longer generated and no longer part of
	  the distribution

				 2/18/1999
				 ---------

Makefile.in,shlib/Makefile.in
	- add dependencies on xmalloc.h, rlshell.h
	- add xmalloc.h, rlprivate.h, rlshell.h to list of header files

				    ---
Makefile.in,shlib/Makefile.in
	- add dependencies on rlprivate.h

				   4/13
				   ----
doc/Makefile.in
	- add variable, PSDVI, which is the desired resolution of the
	  generated postscript files.  Set to 300 because I don't have
	  any 600-dpi printers
	- set LANGUAGE= before calling makeinfo, so messages are in English
	- add rluserman.{info,dvi,ps,html} to appropriate variables

	- SHLIB_MAJOR and SHLIB_MINOR shared library version numbers are
	  constructed from $LIBRARY_VERSION and substituted into Makefiles

				    5/5
				    ---
support/shlib-install
	- OSF/1 installs shared libraries like Solaris

Makefile.in
	- broke the header file install and uninstall into two new targets:
	  install-headers and uninstall-headers
	- install and uninstall depend on install-headers and uninstall-headers
	  respectively
	- changed install-shared and uninstall-shared targets to depend on
	  install-headers and uninstall-headers, respectively, so users may
	  choose to install only the shared libraries.  I'm not sure about
	  the uninstall one yet -- maybe it should check whether or not
	  the static libraries are installed and not remove the header files
	  if they are

				    9/3
				    ---

	- install shared libraries unwritable by anyone on HP-UX
	- changed symlinks to relative pathnames on all platforms

	- add call to AC_PROG_MAKE_SET

				   8/30
				   ----
shlib/Makefile.in
	- change the soname bound into the shared libraries, so it includes
	  only the major version number.  If it includes the minor version,
	  programs depending on it must be rebuilt (which may or may not be
	  a bad thing)

				   ----
compat.c
	- new file, with backwards-compatibility function definitions

Makefile.in,shlib/Makefile.in
	- make sure that compat.o/compat.so are built and linked apppropriately

support/shobj-conf
	- picked up bash version, which means that shared libs built on
	  linux and BSD/OS 4.x will have an soname that does not include
	  the minor version number

				   11/13
				   -----
examples/rlfe.c
	- rlfe can perform filename completion for relative pathnames in the
	  inferior process's context if the OS supports /proc/PID/cwd (linux
	  does it OK, Solaris is slightly warped, none of the BSDs have it)

				    8/7
				    ---
support/shlib-install

				   10/29

	  install-doc and uninstall-doc
	- make install-doc and uninstall-doc prerequisites of appropriate
	  install and uninstall targets

examples/rl-fgets.c

	  that call readline in a shared library that can be interposed with
	  LD_PRELOAD

				   7/27
				   ----
[readline-5.0 released]

				   11/15
				   -----
examples/rlfe/{ChangeLog,Makefile.in,README,config.h.in,configure,configure.in,extern.h,os.h,pty.c,rlfe.c,screen.h}

				 1/23/2005
				 ---------
configure.in
        - set BUILD_DIR to contain backslashes to escape any spaces in the
          directory name -- this is what make will accept in targets and
          prerequisites, so it's better than trying to use double quotes

				   2/25
				   ----
configure.in
	- change check for sys/ptem.h to include sys/stream.h if present, to
	  avoid the `present but cannot be compiled' messages on Solaris and
	  SVR4.2 (does anyone still use SVR4.2?)

configure.in
	- add cross-compiling support from the bash configure.in, which cygwin
	  and mingw have apparently adopted
	- add check for pwd.h, fcntl.h
	- add checks for fcntl, kill system calls
	- add checks for getpw{ent,nam,uid} C library functions
	- pass a compile-time option through to Makefiles if cross-compiling

config.h.in
	- add HAVE_PWD_H for <pwd.h>, HAVE_FCNTL_H for <fcntl.h>
	- add HAVE_FCNTL, HAVE_KILL for respective system calls
	- add HAVE_GETPW{ENT,NAM,UID} for passwd functions

Makefile.in,shlib/Makefile.in
        - @CROSS_COMPILE@ is substituted into DEFS (equal to -DCROSS_COMPILING
	  if bash is being cross-compiled)

examples/Makefile.in
	- use $(READLINE_LIB) instead of -lreadline to get around MacOS X 10.4's
	  preference for (incompatible) shared libraries over static libraries
	  in the load path

				   8/11
				   ----
support/shobj-conf
	- new variable: SHLIB_LIBPREF, prefix for shared library name (defaults
	  to `lib'
	- new variable: SHLIB_DLLVERSION, used on Cygwin to set the library
	  version number
	- new variable: SHLIB_DOT, separator character between library name and
	  suffix and version information (defaults to `.')
	- new stanza for cygwin to generate windows-compatible dll

support/shlib-install
	- add new option `-b bindir' for systems like cygwin/windows that
	  require it
	- new stanza for cygwin that installs a dll into $bindir and an implied
	  link library into $libdir

configure.in
	- substitute new variables from shobj-conf

shlib/Makefile.in
	- substitute bindir, SHLIB_DOT, SHLIB_LIBPREF, SHLIB_DLLVERSION from
	  configure
	- pass `-b $(bindir)' to shlib-install for install and uninstall targets
	- library names now use $SHLIB_LIBPREF and $SHLIB_DOT

INSTALL,README
	- document new SHLIB_DOT, SHLIB_LIBPREF, and SHLIB_DLLVERSION variables
