-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.
