Inputrc support, Testing Suite, Stable API.
This new release of readline
is yet another complete rewrite of the codebase,
prompted by the need to add full .inputrc
configuration support. As a result,
the code has been restructured into self-contained packages with an almost full
testing suite to the core code, to ensure the safest operation possible.
In addition:
- New commands in various domains
- Multiline support
- Macro support
- New API for programable commands
- New and/or updated documentation
- Many, many fixes.
- Many, many improvements all over the place.
The API is now finally considered stable, and will not change unless strictly required.
