Changes for version 1.36 - 2019-01-14

  • readline-8.0 support new function rl_empty_keymap rl_set_keymap_name rl_check_signals new variable history_quoting_state rl_function_of_keyseq uses rl_function_of_keyseq_len to support an arbitrary key sequence that may include NULs.
  • new() checks the number of arguments.
  • make 'use Term::ReadLine::Gnu' fail if $TERM is not set or on a dumb terminal. 'use Term::ReadLine' uses Term::ReadLine::Stub instead. [rt.cpan.org #123398]

  • add t/01test_use.t and t/02test_use.t.
  • comment out a hack for the CPAN Test on OpenBSD added on TRG 1.22.
  • t/utf8_binary.t, t/utf8_text.t: skipped on Perl 5.8.
