1.05: 2013-06-12

- Avoid circularity of Term::ReadLine::readline requiring Term::ReadLine::Perl
  which depends on Term:ReadLine::readline.
- fix =for comments appearing on metacpan
- pod readline subroutines
- Remove SelfLoader, use perl builtins uc, lc instead of home-grown routines
- use 'warnings' in readline.pm
- More unit tests


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).

  C-x * moves cursor correctly.

After 0.91:

tkRunning corrected. New attributes in Features: getHistory,
setHistory, and new methods: GetHistory and SetHistory.

0.8:

- Insert, Operate, HistorySearch added.

- Rudimental support for tk being active during ReadLine.
  Should work better if ReadKey is present, but did not bootstrap.

-  SelfLoader (and AutoLoader) supported (uncomment the lines
    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.
