|
|
|
a. The history library does not try to write the history filename in the
|
|
|
|
|
current directory if $HOME is unset. This closes a potential security
|
|
|
|
|
problem if the application does not specify a history filename.

|
b. New bindable variable `completion-display-width' to set the number of
|
|
|
|
|
columns used when displaying completions.

|
|
|
c. New bindable variable `completion-case-map' to cause case-insensitive
|
|
|
|
|
completion to treat `-' and `_' as identical.

|
|
|
d. There are new bindable vi-mode command names to avoid readline's case-
|
|
|
|
|
insensitive matching not allowing them to be bound separately.

|
|
|
e. New bindable variable `menu-complete-display-prefix' causes the menu
|
|
|
|
|
completion code to display the common prefix of the possible completions
|
|
|
|
|
before cycling through the list, instead of after.
