This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.04-release,
|
||||
and the previous version, bash-2.04-beta5.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Changes to Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. Better compile-time and configure-time checks for the necessity of
|
||||
inet_aton().
|
||||
|
||||
b. A bug was fixed in the expansion of "${@:-}" when there are positional
|
||||
parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
c. A typo was fixed in the output of `complete'.
|
||||
|
||||
d. The matches generated for a word by the `-W' argument to complete and
|
||||
compgen are now matched against the word being completed, and only
|
||||
matches are returned as the result.
|
||||
|
||||
e. Some fixes were made for systems which do not restart read(2) when a
|
||||
signal caught by bash is received.
|
||||
|
||||
f. A bug was fixed which caused the umask to be set to 0 when an invalid
|
||||
symbolic mode mask was parsed.
|
||||
|
||||
g. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump if a SIGCHLD was received while
|
||||
performing an assignment statement using command substitution.
|
||||
|
||||
h. Changed the word splitting function for programmable completion so cases
|
||||
in which the cursor is between words are handled a bit better.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Changes to Readline
|
||||
|
||||
a. rl_funmap_names() is now documented.
|
||||
|
||||
3. New Features in Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. The LC_NUMERIC variable is now treated specially, and used to set the
|
||||
LC_NUMERIC locale category for number formatting, e.g., when `printf'
|
||||
displays floating-point numbers.
|
||||

||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.04-beta5,
|
||||
and the previous version, bash-2.04-beta4.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Changes to Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. A couple of changes were made to the Makefiles for easier building on
|
||||
non-Unix systems.
|
||||
|
||||
b. Fixed a bug where the current prompt would be set to $PS2 at startup.
|
||||
|
||||
c. The shell script that tests an already-installed version was changed to
|
||||
remove the directory it created its test programs in at exit.
|
||||
|
||||
d. Several changes were made to the code that tokenizes an input line for
|
||||
the programmable completion code. Shell metacharacters will now appear
|
||||
as individual words in the word list passed to the completion functions.
|
||||
Some of the example completion shell functions were changed to understand
|
||||
redirection operators.
|
||||
|
||||
e. A bug was fixed that, under obscure circumstances, could confuse the
|
||||
parser when a shell function was run by the programmable completion code.
|
||||
|
||||
f. A bug was fixed in the ulimit builtin for systems not using getrlimit().
|
||||
|
||||
g. The execution code now propagates the correct exit status back to the rest
|
||||
of the code if the return value of a subshell command was being inverted.
|
||||
Some new test cases for inverting return values with the `!' reserved
|
||||
word have been added.
|
||||
|
||||
h. Negative exponents in the arithmetic evaluation of v**e now return an
|
||||
evaluation error.
|
||||
|
||||
i. A bug that caused bash to check the wrong process in a pipeline for
|
||||
abnormal termination (and consequently resetting the terminal attributes)
|
||||
was fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
j. Fixed a bug that caused $PS2 to be displayed after PROMPT_COMMAND was
|
||||
executed.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Changes to Readline
|
||||
|
||||
1. Fixed a bug in a C preprocessor define that caused the keypad control
|
||||
functions to be compiled out for all platforms except DJGPP.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.04-beta4,
|
||||
and the previous version, bash-2.04-beta3.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Changes to Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. A couple of changes were made to the redirection to attempt to avoid
|
||||
race conditions and malicious file replacement.
|
||||
|
||||
2. A change was made to the string evaluation code (used for command
|
||||
substitution, `eval', and the `.' builtin) to fix an obscure core
|
||||
dump on alpha machines.
|
||||
|
||||
3. A bug that caused $LINENO to be wrong when executing arithmetic for
|
||||
commands was fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
4. A couple of memory leaks in the programmable completion code were fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
5. A bug that could cause a core dump by freeing memory twice during a call
|
||||
to `eval' if `set -u' had been enabled and an undefined variable was
|
||||
referenced was fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.04-beta3,
|
||||
and the previous version, bash-2.04-beta2.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Changes to Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. Bash should run the appropriate startup files when invoked by ssh2.
|
||||
|
||||
b. Fixed a bug in the parsing of conditional commands that could cause a
|
||||
core dump.
|
||||
|
||||
c. Fixed a bug in parsing job specifications that occasionally caused
|
||||
core dumps when an out-of-range job was referenced.
|
||||
|
||||
d. Fixed the `type' and `command' builtins to do better reporting of
|
||||
commands that are not found in $PATH or the hash table.
|
||||
|
||||
e. Fixed a POSIX.2 compliance problem in the command builtin -- commands
|
||||
are supposed to be reported as full pathnames.
|
||||
|
||||
f. The `echo' builtin now returns failure if a write error occurs.
|
||||
|
||||
g. Fixed a bug which caused the locale to not be reset correctly when
|
||||
LC_ALL was unset.
|
||||
|
||||
h. Changed description of `getopts' in man page and reference manual to make
|
||||
it clear that option characters may be characters other than letters.
|
||||
|
||||
i. If the shell exits while in a function, make sure that any trap on EXIT
|
||||
doesn't think the function is still executing.
|
||||
|
||||
j. Bashbug now tries harder to find a usable editor if $EDITOR is not set,
|
||||
rather than simply defaulting to `emacs'.
|
||||
|
||||
k. Changes to the scripts that guess and canonicalize the system type, from
|
||||
the latest `automake' distribution via Debian.
|
||||
|
||||
l. When using named pipes for process substitution, make sure the file
|
||||
descriptors opened for reading are set to non-blocking mode.
|
||||
|
||||
m. Fixed a bug that caused termination of pipelines that are killed by a
|
||||
signal to not be reported in some cases.
|
||||
|
||||
n. When not in literal-history mode, shell comment lines are not added to
|
||||
the history list.
|
||||
|
||||
o. When running in POSIX.2 mode, bash no longer performs word splitting on
|
||||
the expanded value of the word supplied as the filename argument to
|
||||
redirection operators.
|
||||
|
||||
p. The prompt string decoding code now backslash-quotes only characters that
|
||||
are special within double quotes when expanding the \w and \W escape
|
||||
sequences.
|
||||
|
||||
q. Fixed a bug in the prompt decoding code that could cause a non-interactive
|
||||
shell to seg fault if `\u' was used in PS4 and the shell was in xtrace
|
||||
mode.
|
||||
|
||||
r. Fixed a bug that caused function definitions to be printed with any
|
||||
redirections that should be attached to the entire function before the
|
||||
closing brace.
|
||||
|
||||
s. Changed the tilde expansion code for Cygwin systems to avoid creating
|
||||
pathnames beginning with `//' if $HOME == `/'.
|
||||
|
||||
t. Fixed a couple of autoconf tests to avoid creating files with fixed names
|
||||
in /tmp.
|
||||
|
||||
u. The `trap' and `kill' builtins now know the names of the POSIX.1b real-
|
||||
time signals on systems which support them.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Changes to Readline
|
||||
|
||||
a. Fixed a problem with the single-quote quoting function that could cause
|
||||
buffer overflows.
|
||||
|
||||
b. Fixed a bug that caused incorrect `stat characters' to be printed if
|
||||
the files being completed were in the root directory and visible-stats
|
||||
was enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
3. New Features in Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. There is a new `rbash.1' manual page, from the Debian release.
|
||||
|
||||
b. The `--enable-usg-echo-default' option to `configure' has been renamed to
|
||||
`--enable-xpg-echo-default'. The old option is still there for backwards
|
||||
compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.04-beta2,
|
||||
and the previous version, bash-2.04-beta1.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Changes to Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. Fixed a bug that could cause pipes to be closed inappropriately in
|
||||
some obscure cases.
|
||||
|
||||
b. Fixed a bug that caused creation of the exported environment to clobber
|
||||
the current command string if there were any exported shell functions.
|
||||
|
||||
c. Some changes were made to reduce bash's memory usage.
|
||||
|
||||
d. Fixed a problem with programmable completion and filenames to be
|
||||
completed containing quote characters.
|
||||
|
||||
e. Changed the code the removes named pipes created for the <(...) and >(...)
|
||||
expansions to defer removal until after any current shell function has
|
||||
finished executing.
|
||||
|
||||
f. Fixed a bug in `select' which caused it to not handle the `continue'
|
||||
builtin correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
g. Autoconf tests added for cygwin32 and mingw32.
|
||||
|
||||
2. New Features in Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. The `--with-bash-malloc' configure option replaces `--with-gnu-malloc'
|
||||
(which is still there for backwards compatibility).
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.04-beta1,
|
||||
and the previous version, bash-2.04-alpha1.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Changes to Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. Fixed a bug in the programmable completion code that occurred when
|
||||
trying to complete command lines containing a `;' or `@'.
|
||||
|
||||
b. The file descriptor from which the shell is reading a script is now
|
||||
moved to a file descriptor above the user-addressible range.
|
||||
|
||||
c. Changes to `printf' so that it can handle integers beginning with 0
|
||||
or 0x as octal and hex, respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
d. Fixes to the programmable completion code so it handles nonsense like
|
||||
`compgen -C xyz' gracefully.
|
||||
|
||||
e. The shell no longer modifies the signal handler for SIGPROF, allowing
|
||||
profiling again on certain systems.
|
||||
|
||||
f. The shell checks for a new window size, if the user has requested it,
|
||||
after a process exits due to a signal.
|
||||
|
||||
g. Fixed a bug with variables with null values in a program's temporary
|
||||
environment and the bash getenv() replacement.
|
||||
|
||||
h. `declare' and the other builtins that take variable assignments as
|
||||
arguments now honor `set -a' and mark modified variables for export.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Some changes were made for --dump-po-strings mode when writing strings
|
||||
with embedded newlines.
|
||||
|
||||
j. The code that caches export strings from the initial environment now
|
||||
duplicates the string rather than just pointing into the environment.
|
||||
|
||||
k. The filename completion quoting code now uses single quotes by default
|
||||
if the filename being completed contains newlines, since \<newline>
|
||||
has a special meaning to the parser.
|
||||
|
||||
l. Bash now uses typedefs bits32_t and u_bits32_t instead of int32_t and
|
||||
u_int32_t, respectively to avoid conflicts on certain Unix versions.
|
||||
|
||||
m. Configuration changes were made for: Rhapsody, Mac OS, FreeBSD-3.x.
|
||||
|
||||
n. Fixed a problem with hostname-to-ip-address translation in the
|
||||
/dev/(tcp|udp)/hostname/port redirection code.
|
||||
|
||||
o. The texinfo manual has been reorganized slightly.
|
||||
|
||||
p. Filename generation (globbing) range comparisons in bracket expressions
|
||||
no longer use strcoll(3) even if it is available, since it has unwanted
|
||||
effects in certain locales.
|
||||
|
||||
q. Fixed a cosmetic problem in the source that caused the shell to not
|
||||
compile if DPAREN_ARITHMETIC was not defined but ARITH_FOR_COMMAND was.
|
||||
|
||||
r. Fixed a bug in the here-document code tripped when the file descriptor
|
||||
opened to the file containing the text of the here document was the
|
||||
same as a redirector specified by the user.
|
||||
|
||||
s. Fixed a bug where the INVERT_RETURN flag was not being set for `pipeline'
|
||||
in `time ! pipeline'.
|
||||
|
||||
t. Fixed a bug with the `wait' builtin which manifested itself when an
|
||||
interrupt was received while the shell was waiting for asynchronous
|
||||
processes in a shell script.
|
||||
|
||||
u. Fixed the DEBUG trap code so that it has the correct value of $?.
|
||||
|
||||
v. Fixed a bug in the parameter pattern substitution code that could cause
|
||||
the shell to attempt to free unallocated memory if the pattern started
|
||||
with `/' and an expansion error occurs.
|
||||
|
||||
w. Fixed a bug in the positional parameter substring code that could
|
||||
cause the shell to loop freeing freed memory.
|
||||
|
||||
x. Fixed a bug in the positional parameter pattern substitution code so
|
||||
that it correctly handles null replacement strings with a pattern
|
||||
string prefixed with `%' or `#'.
|
||||
|
||||
y. The shell no longer attempts to import functions from the environment if
|
||||
started with `-n'.
|
||||
|
||||
z. Fixed a bug that caused `return' in a command substitution executed in
|
||||
a shell function to return from the function in a subshell and continue
|
||||
execution.
|
||||
|
||||
aa. `hash -p /pathname/with/slashes name' is no longer allowed when the shell
|
||||
is restricted.
|
||||
|
||||
bb. The wait* job control functions now behave better if called when there
|
||||
are no unwaited-for children.
|
||||
|
||||
cc. Command substitution no longer unconditionally disables job control in
|
||||
the subshell started to run the command.
|
||||
|
||||
dd. A bug was fixed that occasionally caused traps to mess up the parser
|
||||
state.
|
||||
|
||||
ee. `bashbug' now honors user headers in the mail message it sends.
|
||||
|
||||
ff. A bug was fixed that caused the `:p' history modifier to not print the
|
||||
history expansion if the `histverify' option was set.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Changes to Readline
|
||||
|
||||
a. Fixed a bug in the redisplay code for lines with more than 256 line
|
||||
breaks.
|
||||
|
||||
b. A bug was fixed which caused invisible character markers to not be
|
||||
stripped from the prompt string if the terminal was in no-echo mode.
|
||||
|
||||
c. Readline no longer tries to get the variables it needs for redisplay
|
||||
from the termcap entry if the calling application has specified its
|
||||
own redisplay function. Readline treats the terminal as `dumb' in
|
||||
this case.
|
||||
|
||||
d. Fixes to the SIGWINCH code so that a multiple-line prompt with escape
|
||||
sequences is redrawn correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
3. New Features in Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. `bashbug' now accepts `--help' and `--version' options.
|
||||
|
||||
b. There is a new `xpg_echo' option to `shopt' that controls the behavior
|
||||
of echo with respect to backslash-escaped characters at runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.04-alpha1,
|
||||
and the previous version, bash-2.04-devel.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Changes to Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. Fixed a bug that could cause core dumps when performing substring
|
||||
expansion.
|
||||
|
||||
b. Shared object configuration changes for: Solaris, OSF/1
|
||||
|
||||
c. The POSIX_GLOB_LIBRARY code that uses the POSIX.2 globbing facilities
|
||||
for pathname expansion now understands GLOBIGNORE.
|
||||
|
||||
d. The code that implements `eval' was changed to save the value of the
|
||||
current prompt, so an eval in a shell function called by the programmable
|
||||
completion code will not change the prompt to $PS2.
|
||||
|
||||
e. Restored the undocumented NON_INTERACTIVE_LOGIN_SHELLS #define to
|
||||
config-top.h. If this is defined, all login shells will read the
|
||||
startup files, not just interactive and non-interactive started with
|
||||
the `--login' option.
|
||||
|
||||
f. Fixed a bug that caused the expansion code to occasionally dump core if
|
||||
IFS contained characters > 128.
|
||||
|
||||
g. Fixed a problem with the grammar so that a newline is not required
|
||||
after the `))' in the new-style arithmetic for statement; a semicolon
|
||||
may be used as expected.
|
||||
|
||||
h. Variable indirection may now reference the shell's special variables.
|
||||
|
||||
i. The $'...' and $"..." constructs are now added to the history correctly
|
||||
if they contain newlines and command-oriented history is enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
j. It is now an error to try to assign a value to a function-local copy
|
||||
of a readonly shell variable (declared with the `local' builtin).
|
||||
|
||||
2. Changes to Readline
|
||||
|
||||
a. The history file code now uses O_BINARY mode when reading and writing
|
||||
the history file on cygwin32.
|
||||
|
||||
3. New Features in Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. A new programmable completion facility, with two new builtin commands:
|
||||
complete and compgen.
|
||||
|
||||
b. configure has a new option, `--enable-progcomp', to compile in the
|
||||
programmable completion features (enabled by default).
|
||||
|
||||
c. `shopt' has a new option, `progcomp', to enable and disable programmable
|
||||
completion at runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
d. Unsetting HOSTFILE now clears the list of hostnames used for completion.
|
||||
|
||||
4. New Features in Readline
|
||||
|
||||
a. A new variable, rl_gnu_readline_p, always 1. The intent is that an
|
||||
application can verify whether or not it is linked with the `real'
|
||||
readline library or some substitute.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.04-devel,
|
||||
and the previous version, bash-2.03-release.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Changes to Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. System-specific configuration and source changes for: Interix, Rhapsody
|
||||
|
||||
b. Fixed a bug in execute_cmd.c that resulted in a compile-time error if
|
||||
JOB_CONTROL was not defined.
|
||||
|
||||
c. An obscure race condition in the trap code was fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
d. The string resulting from $'...' is now requoted to avoid any further
|
||||
expansion.
|
||||
|
||||
e. The $'...' quoting syntax now allows backslash to escape a single quote,
|
||||
for ksh-93 compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
f. The $"..." quoting syntax now escapes backslashes and double quotes in
|
||||
the translated string when displaying them with the --dump-po-strings
|
||||
option.
|
||||
|
||||
g. `echo -e' no longer converts \' to '.
|
||||
|
||||
h. Fixes were made to the extended globbing code to handle embedded (...)
|
||||
patterns better.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Some improvements were made to the code that unsets `nodelay' mode on
|
||||
the file descriptor from which bash is reading input.
|
||||
|
||||
j. Some changes were made to the replacement termcap library for better
|
||||
operation on MS-DOS.
|
||||
|
||||
k. Some changes were made to the tilde expansion code to handle backslash
|
||||
as a pathname separator on MS-DOS.
|
||||
|
||||
l. The source has been reorganized a little bit -- there is now an `include'
|
||||
subdirectory, and lib/posixheaders has been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
m. Improvements were made to the `read' builtin so that it makes many
|
||||
fewer read(2) system calls.
|
||||
|
||||
n. The expansion of $- will include `c' and `s' when those options are
|
||||
supplied at shell invocation.
|
||||
|
||||
o. Several improvments were made to the completion code: variable completion
|
||||
now works better when there are unterminated expansions, command
|
||||
completion understands quotes better, and completion now works in certain
|
||||
unclosed $(... constructs.
|
||||
|
||||
p. The arithmetic expansion code was fixed to not need the value of a
|
||||
variable being assigned a value (fixes the "ss=09; let ss=10" bug).
|
||||
|
||||
q. Some changes were made to make exported environment creation faster.
|
||||
|
||||
r. The html documentation will be installed into $(htmldir) if that variable
|
||||
has a value when `make install' is run.
|
||||
|
||||
s. Fixed a bug that would cause the bashrc file to be sourced inappropriately
|
||||
when bash is started by sshd.
|
||||
|
||||
t. The SSH_CLIENT environment variable is no longer auto-exported.
|
||||
|
||||
u. A bug that caused redirections with (...) subshells to be performed in
|
||||
the wrong order was fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
v. A bug that occasionally caused inaapropriate expansion of assignment
|
||||
statements in compound array assignments was fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
w. The code that parses the words in a compound array assignment was
|
||||
simplified considerably and should work better now.
|
||||
|
||||
x. Fixes to the non-job-control code in nojobs.c to make it POSIX.2-compliant
|
||||
when a user attempts to retrieve the status of a terminated background
|
||||
process.
|
||||
|
||||
y. Fixes to the `printf' builtin so that it doesn't try to expand all
|
||||
backslash escape sequences in the format string before parsing it for
|
||||
% format specifiers.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Changes to Readline
|
||||
|
||||
a. The history library tries to truncate the history file only if it is a
|
||||
regular file.
|
||||
|
||||
b. A bug that caused _rl_dispatch to address negative array indices on
|
||||
systems with signed chars was fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
c. rl-yank-nth-arg now leaves the history position the same as when it was
|
||||
called.
|
||||
|
||||
d. Changes to the completion code to handle MS-DOS drive-letter:pathname
|
||||
filenames.
|
||||
|
||||
e. Completion is now case-insensitive by default on MS-DOS.
|
||||
|
||||
f. Fixes to the history file manipulation code for MS-DOS.
|
||||
|
||||
g. Readline attempts to bind the arrow keys to appropriate defaults on MS-DOS.
|
||||
|
||||
h. Some fixes were made to the redisplay code for better operation on MS-DOS.
|
||||
|
||||
i. The quoted-insert code will now insert tty special chars like ^C.
|
||||
|
||||
j. A bug was fixed that caused the display code to reference memory before
|
||||
the start of the prompt string.
|
||||
|
||||
k. More support for __EMX__ (OS/2).
|
||||
|
||||
l. A bug was fixed in readline's signal handling that could cause infinite
|
||||
recursion in signal handlers.
|
||||
|
||||
m. A bug was fixed that caused the point to be less than zero when rl_forward
|
||||
was given a very large numeric argument.
|
||||
|
||||
n. The vi-mode code now gets characters via the application-settable value
|
||||
of rl_getc_function rather than calling rl_getc directly.
|
||||
|
||||
3. New Features in Bash
|
||||
|
||||
a. The history builtin has a `-d offset' option to delete the history entry
|
||||
at position `offset'.
|
||||
|
||||
b. The prompt expansion code has two new escape sequences: \j, the number of
|
||||
active jobs; and \l, the basename of the shell's tty device name.
|
||||
|
||||
c. The `bind' builtin has a new `-x' option to bind key sequences to shell
|
||||
commands.
|
||||
|
||||
d. There is a new shell option, no_empty_command_completion, which, when
|
||||
enabled, disables command completion when TAB is typed on an empty line.
|
||||
|
||||
e. The `help' builtin has a `-s' option to just print a builtin's usage
|
||||
synopsys.
|
||||
|
||||
f. There are several new arithmetic operators: id++, id-- (variable
|
||||
post-increment/decrement), ++id, --id (variabl pre-increment/decrement),
|
||||
expr1 , expr2 (comma operator).
|
||||
|
||||
g. There is a new ksh-93 style arithmetic for command:
|
||||
for ((expr1 ; expr2; expr3 )); do list; done
|
||||
|
||||
h. The `read' builtin has a number of new options:
|
||||
-t timeout only wait timeout seconds for input
|
||||
-n nchars only read nchars from input instead of a full line
|
||||
-d delim read until delim rather than newline
|
||||
-s don't echo input chars as they are read
|
||||
|
||||
i. The redirection code now handles several filenames specially:
|
||||
/dev/fd/N, /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout, and /dev/stderr, whether or
|
||||
not they are present in the file system.
|
||||
|
||||
j. The redirection code now recognizes pathnames of the form
|
||||
/dev/tcp/host/port and /dev/udp/host/port, and tries to open a socket
|
||||
of the appropriate type to the specified port on the specified host.
|
||||
|
||||
k. The ksh-93 ${!prefix*} expansion, which expands to the names of all
|
||||
shell variables whose names start with prefix, has been implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
l. There is a new dynamic variable, FUNCNAME, which expands to the name of
|
||||
a currently-executing function. Assignments to FUNCNAME have no effect.
|
||||
|
||||
m. The GROUPS variable is no longer readonly; assignments to it are silently
|
||||
discarded. This means it can be unset.
|
||||
|
||||
4. New Features in Readline
|
||||
|
||||
a. Parentheses matching is now always compiled into readline, and enabled
|
||||
or disabled when the value of the `blink-matching-paren' variable is
|
||||
changed.
|
||||
|
||||
b. MS-DOS systems now use ~/_inputrc as the last-ditch inputrc filename.
|
||||
|
||||
c. MS-DOS systems now use ~/_history as the default history file.
|
||||
|
||||
d. history-search-{forward,backward} now leave the point at the end of the
|
||||
line when the string to search for is empty, like
|
||||
{reverse,forward}-search-history.
|
||||
|
||||
e. history-search-{forward,backward} now leave the last history line found
|
||||
in the readline buffer if the second or subsequent search fails.
|
||||
|
||||
f. New function for use by applications: rl_on_new_line_with_prompt, used
|
||||
when an application displays the prompt itself before calling readline().
|
||||
|
||||
g. New variable for use by applications: rl_already_prompted. An application
|
||||
that displays the prompt itself before calling readline() must set this to
|
||||
a non-zero value.
