Changes
-------
An earlier version was distributed with Byron's rc. Principal changes
over that version include:
* Faster.
* Is eight-bit clean (thanks to brendan@cs.widener.edu)
* Written in K&R C, but ANSI compliant (gcc all warnings)
* Propagates EOF properly; rc trip test now passes
* Doesn't need or use or provide memmove.
* More robust
* Calling sequence changed to be compatible with readline.
* Test program, new manpage, better configuration
* More system-independant; includes Unix and OS-9 support.
This contains some changes since the posting to comp.sources.misc:
* Bugfix for completion on absolute pathnames.
* Better handling of M-n versus showing raw 8bit chars.
* Better signal handling.
* Now supports termios/termio/sgttyb ioctl's.
* Add M-m command to toggle how 8bit data is displayed.
Bugs
----
There is one known bug. History-searching redraws the line wrong if
the text retrieved is shorter then the prompt.
This library was previously also packaged exclusively for Debian. The
exact origin of the Debian version is unclear, see the Sid package at
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libeditline0 for details. There are
some differences between that version and upstream, some of those
patches will also be merged here.
