readline/NEWS

   1 This is a terse description of the new features added to readline-6.2 since
   2 the release of readline-6.1.
   3
   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.
   7
   8 b.  New bindable variable `completion-display-width' to set the number of
   9     columns used when displaying completions.
  10
  11 c.  New bindable variable `completion-case-map' to cause case-insensitive
  12     completion to treat `-' and `_' as identical.
  13
  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.
  16
  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.
