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. |
