1.04: 2013-03-02
- First Term::ReadLine::Perl5 release.
- Add history commit from Rocky Bernstein.
- Fix some style changes related to use of eval() in readline::_unescape().
- Fork from Term::ReadLine::Perl. Original changes located below.
1.0303: 2009-10-28
- Would not allow macros with space in them.
- Never try to display the whole prompt unless it is shorter than
screen width ;-).
- Test supports PERL_RL_TEST_PROMPT_MINLEN in environment.
- Test hints at special significance of the word `exit'.
- Avoid a warning on unexpected variable assign (thanks to Robin Barker).
- Change error message for unknown method.
- Protect global variables during WINCH processing.
- F_ReverseSearchHistory was not -w-safe (thanks to Peter Valdemar)
- Test for $ENV{PERL_MM_NONINTERACTIVE} also to abort tests.
1.0302: 2006-05-23
- C-@ was incorrectly bound to a missing function SetPoint.
- C-x Esc c @ and C-x Esc c Space are now bound to SetMark, so do this
if $inDOS too.
- Bind C-x @ c and C-x @ m too (as in Emacs).
1.0301: 2006-05-23
- F_TransposeWords implemented
- Enable binmode() on MSWin32 if ReadMode succeeds.
- Since "normal" getc() returns 0 on "special keys" (as opposed
to behaviour with reasonable CRT library, which would return
a pair of keypresses 0 "keynumber"), to access special keys
one needs something like C-[ for Esc, and C-[ c for Alt-c.
- Support \key with key in "abfnrtvd" in init files (\b/\d as C-?/C-d)
and \ooo for octal.
- Allow single quotes in macro specifications, and backwacked quotes.
- Support macros (propagate numeric arguments).
- New functions:
F_BeginPasteGroup; F_EndPasteGroup;
F_BeginEditGroup; F_EndEditGroup; bound to XTerm mouse editing
- Support ~/ in INPUTRC name and $include;
- $ENV{TRP_INPUTRC} overrides $ENV{INPUTRC}.
- New functions:
F_DoMetaVersion; F_DoControlVersion;
These are bound as in Emacs: C-x Esc m and C-x Esc c.
1.03: 2006-04-9
- Support for numeric arguments missed setting $lastcommand.
- MinLine would not return the old value etc.
- On MSWin32 without ReadKey, but with cygwin stty.exe:
do binmode (since Enter sends \r in these settings)
(XXXX we don't undo binmode; is it needed?)
(Only Control-Key work; do "Control-[ key" for Meta)
- When optimizing "cursor" movement, take into account ornaments.
- Optimize "cursor" movement even if we redraw the line.
Would display the string twice, even if cursor was at the end of
the line.
Add key binding for Control-Movement keys in xterm; and some OSX xterm.
Do not prefer HPUX xterm bindings to "normal" XTerm bindings.
New functions F_BeginUndoGroup F_EndUndoGroup F_DoNothing
F_MemorizeDigitArgument F_ForceMemorizeDigitArgument
F_UnmemorizeDigitArgument F_ResetDigitArgument
F_MergeInserts F_MemorizePos
(for better mouse support; untested)
Undo list merges together states where the only change is position
1.0208: 2006-03-14
- Allow 2-arg form for test.pl
- Open CONIN$ on Win (if asked for CON), and open RW (bug in Win devdriver).
- Allow non-first Digit-Arguments to be escaped too.
- Allow Alt-char translation to \M-char on DOSISH.
- Apparently, self-loaded empty subroutines crash 5.8.2; 5.8.7 OK.
Work-around: put "1;" into non-implemented stuff.
1.0207: 2006-03-03
- If mark was active, redraw could be performed after Enter.
- Untested Win32 support for cut&paste.
- Alias $var_DeleteSelection for $rl_delete_selection (thus accessible
via .inputrc).
1.0206: 2006-03-03
- Shift-Ins, Control-Ins, Shift-Del operate on clipboard (if available)
(currently native on OS/2 only, otherwise uses commands
$ENV{RL_PASTE_CMD}, $ENV{RL_CLCOPY_CMD}, or file
$ENV{HOME}/.rl_cutandpaste).
- In absense of mark, CopyRegionAsKillClipboard operates on the whole line.
- Completely ignore unknown variables in .inputrc.
- Moving cursor should remove the highlight of initial string too.
- Change some local() to my().
- Region between point and mark is highlighted.
Commands SelfInsert, Yank*, *DeleteChar remove this region
if $rl_delete_selection is TRUE (the default).
(Set mark again to insert without removing.)
1.0205: 2006-03-02
- Do not touch $ENV{HOME} unless defined.
- $ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} to skip interactive tests.
1.0204: 2006-03-02
- Applied patches from Gurusamy and Slaven for vi mode:
* Logic to move insertion point one char back was wrong;
Disable (YES!) choice of vi-mode based on $ENV{EDITOR}.
Just in case: generate proper warning if an old $ket-bug resurrects.
* If readkey() returns undef, behave as on EOF.
New option --no-print to test.pl.
Try to move prompt to the next line if something is already on the
current line (controlled by $rl_scroll_nextline,
$rl_last_pos_can_backspace);
Wrong setting of $rl_last_pos_can_backspace will result:
a) 1 and wrong: empty line before the prompt;
b) 0 and wrong: if the line contains 1 char only,
(and no NL), the prompt will overwrite it;
test with `perl -Mblib test.pl --no-print',
type `print 1'.
[This is not the same as termcap/am!].
New variable $readline::rl_default_selected; if true, default string
is removed if the first keystroke is self-insert or BackSpace;
test.pl modified to test this too;
uses mr,me capabilities to highlight the default string.
New command: SaveLine (on M-#).
New command: PrintHistory (on M-h),
PreviousHistory and NextHistory take count.
The edited line is saved when one moves to history.
1.0203: 2002-05-24
- Unconditional titlecasing of .inputrc "values" broke settings with
values such as 'vi' etc (thanks to Russ Southern for a report).
1.0202: 2002-04-19
- Warnings on highlight of the right scroll mark '<' fixed
(thanks to Slaven Rezic).
1.0201:
- Warnings due to a misprint fixed (thanks to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa).
1.02: 2002-03-31
- Move reread-init to C-x C-r.
- Make C-x u and C-x C-u do undo.
- Set-mark: C-@, Control-Space on PC.
- Exchange-point-and-mark: C-x C-x.
- Kill-region: C-x C-w (as in lynx).
- Copy-region-as-kill: C-x w (kinda similar to Emacs).
On PC, the last 2 and yank also available on Shift-Del, Control-Insert,
Shift-Insert.
- Kill buffer is prepended or appended in natural manner.
- Disable detection of Japanese multibyte characters - conflicts with
single-byte scripts. Reenable by $readline::_rl_japanese_mb = 1.
1.01:
- Allow unset TERM.
- Wrong display and warnings if UP/DOWN reach a short line from a
scrolled line
- Highlight the h-scroll indicators "<" ">" same as the prompt.
- Draw h-scroll indicator "<" even if a part of the prompt is shown.
- Scroll right if more than $rl_margin empty space is on the right.
1.00:
- Ignore $/, $\, $,.
- Handle $include in RC file (by Roland Walker and Alexander Kourakos).
- Support "unsupported ioctl()".
- $rl_vi_replace_default_on_insert (by Russ Southern).
- Now we closely match the new syntax of .inputrc (by David Wollmann).
- Allow setenv PERL_RL_USE_TRK=0 to disable usage of Term::ReadKey.
- With $inDOS vicmd_map had conflicting definitions for #27.
- Removed spurious warnings from failing ioctl and stty.

- no longer installs into PERL dirs.
- Name of interface is now Term::ReadLine::Perl.
- Meta-flag tolerated (thanks to Honza Pazdziora).
- Bindings to \C-letter work again.
0.97:
- Wrong version of Perl.pm was included, did not work with older Perls.
0.96:
- tkRunning support unrolled, now needs newer Term/ReadLine.pm to use it.
- Warnings from inputrc come only if -w.
0.95: (from Jim Meyering):
* readline.pm (preinit): Recognize bash's `input-meta' as a
valid variable name.
(F_ReReadInitFile): Recognize key binding directives in which
the double-quoted RHS contains white space.
(rl_set): Treat bash's `visible-stats' as a synonym of
CompleteAddsuffix.
Workaround against Term::ReadKey::ReadMode returning undef
(thanks to Helmut Jarausch).

- $rl_completer_terminator_character, $rl_correct_sw added.
- Reload-init-file moved to C-x C-x.
- C-x ? and C-x * list/insert possible completions (similar to
tcsh globbing).
- For a second ReadLine interface ReadLine::Stub is used (unsuccessfully)?
C-x * moves cursor correctly.
After 0.91:
- Couple of bugs with my $var = @_;
- use SelfLoader; moved to DATA.

tkRunning corrected. New attributes in Features: getHistory,
setHistory, and new methods: GetHistory and SetHistory.
0.8:
- Insert, Operate, HistorySearch added.

with SelfLoader, ISA, and __DATA__).
0.7:
- We made ReadMode on term_OUT ;-(
- Better workaround for return of globs from a sub.
- Word break chars more suitable for Perl.
0.6:
- The bug in 0.5 was due to missing vi keymap. Dirty workaround
added.
0.5:
Code to support ReadLine'less debugger moved to debugger. One user
reported that having .inputrc triggers the same bug that buggered
earlier versions of the package. Request for a second readline is
tried to be executed first, dying only if should work on a different
terminal.
0.4:
- Some bugs with $|f corrected.
- Application name is set.
