a. Fixed a bug that caused the unconverted filename to be added to the list of
completions when the application specified filename conversion functions.
b. Fixed a bug that caused the wrong filename to be passed to opendir when the
application has specified a filename dequoting function.
c. Fixed a bug when repeating a character search in vi mode in the case where
there was no search to repeat.
d. When show-all-if-ambiguous is set, the completion routines no longer insert
a common match prefix that is shorter than the text being completed.
e. The full set of vi editing commands may now be used in callback mode.
dimensions while running in `no-echo' mode.
h. Fixed a bug that caused readline to dump core if an application called
rl_prep_terminal without setting rl_instream.
i. Fixed a bug that caused meta-prefixed characters bound to incremental
search forward or backward to not be recognized if they were typed
subsequently.
j. The incremental search code treats key sequences that map to the same
functions as (default) ^G, ^W, and ^Y as equivalent to those characters.
k. Fixed a bug in menu-complete that caused it to misbehave with large
negative argument.
l. Fixed a bug that caused vi-mode yank-last-arg to ring the bell when invoked
at the end of the line.
m. Fixed a bug that made an explicit argument of 0 to yank-last-arg behave
as if it were a negative argument.
n. Fixed a bug that caused directory names in words to be completed to not
be dequoted correctly.
New Features
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.

This is a terse description of the new features added to readline-6.1 since
the release of readline-6.0.
1. New Features in Readline
a. New bindable function: menu-complete-backward.
b. In the vi insertion keymap, C-n is now bound to menu-complete by default,
and C-p to menu-complete-backward.
c. When in vi command mode, repeatedly hitting ESC now does nothing, even
when ESC introduces a bound key sequence. This is closer to how
historical vi behaves.
d. New bindable function: skip-csi-sequence. Can be used as a default to
consume key sequences generated by keys like Home and End without having
to bind all keys.
e. New application-settable function: rl_filename_rewrite_hook. Can be used
to rewite or modify filenames read from the file system before they are
compared to the word to be completed.
f. New bindable variable: skip-completed-text, active when completing in the
middle of a word. If enabled, it means that characters in the completion
that match characters in the remainder of the word are "skipped" rather
than inserted into the line.
g. The pre-readline-6.0 version of menu completion is available as
"old-menu-complete" for users who do not like the readline-6.0 version.
h. New bindable variable: echo-control-characters. If enabled, and the
tty ECHOCTL bit is set, controls the echoing of characters corresponding
to keyboard-generated signals.
i. New bindable variable: enable-meta-key. Controls whether or not readline
sends the smm/rmm sequences if the terminal indicates it has a meta key
that enables eight-bit characters.

This is a terse description of the new features added to readline-6.0 since
the release of readline-5.2.
1. New Features in Readline
a. A new variable, rl_sort_completion_matches; allows applications to inhibit
match list sorting (but beware: some things don't work right if
applications do this).
b. A new variable, rl_completion_invoking_key; allows applications to discover
the key that invoked rl_complete or rl_menu_complete.
c. The functions rl_block_sigint and rl_release_sigint are now public and
available to calling applications who want to protect critical sections
(like redisplay).
d. The functions rl_save_state and rl_restore_state are now public and
available to calling applications; documented rest of readline's state
flag values.
e. A new user-settable variable, `history-size', allows setting the maximum
number of entries in the history list.
f. There is a new implementation of menu completion, with several improvements
over the old; the most notable improvement is a better `completions
browsing' mode.
g. The menu completion code now uses the rl_menu_completion_entry_function
variable, allowing applications to provide their own menu completion
generators.
h. There is support for replacing a prefix of a pathname with a `...' when
displaying possible completions. This is controllable by setting the
`completion-prefix-display-length' variable. Matches with a common prefix
longer than this value have the common prefix replaced with `...'.
i. There is a new `revert-all-at-newline' variable. If enabled, readline will
undo all outstanding changes to all history lines when `accept-line' is
executed.

This imports some fixes from Debian. First and foremost:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2006-11/msg00017.html
Bug-Description:
In some cases, code that is intended to be used in the presence of multibyte
characters is called when no such characters are present, leading to incorrect
display position calculations and incorrect redisplay.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2007-01/msg00002.html
Bug-Description:
Readline neglects to reallocate the array it uses to keep track of wrapped
screen lines when increasing its size. This will eventually result in
segmentation faults when given sufficiently long input.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2007-02/msg00054.html
Bug-Description:
When moving the cursor, bash sometimes misplaces the cursor when the prompt
contains two or more multibyte characters. The particular circumstance that
uncovered the problem was having the (multibyte) current directory name in
the prompt string.
...all related to display.c. Also add include of <stdio.h> to
two of the readline header files.

1. Changes to Readline
a. Fixed a problem that caused segmentation faults when using readline in
callback mode and typing consecutive DEL characters on an empty line.
b. Fixed several redisplay problems with multibyte characters, all having to
do with the different code paths and variable meanings between single-byte
and multibyte character redisplay.
c. Fixed a problem with key sequence translation when presented with the
sequence \M-\C-x.
d. Fixed a problem that prevented the `a' command in vi mode from being
undone and redone properly.
e. Fixed a problem that prevented empty inserts in vi mode from being undone
properly.
f. Fixed a problem that caused readline to initialize with an incorrect idea
of whether or not the terminal can autowrap.
g. Fixed output of key bindings (like bash `bind -p') to honor the setting of
convert-meta and use \e where appropriate.
h. Changed the default filename completion function to call the filename
dequoting function if the directory completion hook isn't set. This means
that any directory completion hooks need to dequote the directory name,
since application-specific hooks need to know how the word was quoted,
even if no other changes are made.
i. Fixed a bug with creating the prompt for a non-interactive search string
when there are non-printing characters in the primary prompt.
j. Fixed a bug that caused prompts with invisible characters to be redrawn
multiple times in a multibyte locale.
k. Fixed a bug that could cause the key sequence scanning code to return the
wrong function.
l. Fixed a problem with the callback interface that caused it to fail when
using multi-character keyboard macros.
m. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump when an edited history entry was
re-executed under certain conditions.
n. Fixed a bug that caused readline to reference freed memory when attmpting
to display a portion of the prompt.
o. Fixed a bug with prompt redisplay in a multi-byte locale to avoid redrawing
the prompt and input line multiple times.
p. Fixed history expansion to not be confused by here-string redirection.
q. Readline no longer treats read errors by converting them to newlines, as
it does with EOF. This caused partial lines to be returned from readline().
r. Fixed a redisplay bug that occurred in multibyte-capable locales when the
prompt was one character longer than the screen width.
2. New Features in Readline
a. Calling applications can now set the keyboard timeout to 0, allowing
poll-like behavior.
b. The value of SYS_INPUTRC (configurable at compilation time) is now used as
the default last-ditch startup file.
c. The history file reading functions now allow windows-like \r\n line
terminators.

This is a terse description of the new features added to readline-5.1 since
the release of readline-5.0.
1. New Features in Readline
a. The key sequence sent by the keypad `delete' key is now automatically
bound to delete-char.
b. A negative argument to menu-complete now cycles backward through the
completion list.
c. A new bindable readline variable: bind-tty-special-chars. If non-zero,
readline will bind the terminal special characters to their readline
equivalents when it's called (on by default).
d. New bindable command: vi-rubout. Saves deleted text for possible
reinsertion, as with any vi-mode `text modification' command; `X' is bound
to this in vi command mode.
e. If the rl_completion_query_items is set to a value < 0, readline never
asks the user whether or not to view the possible completions.
f. New application-callable auxiliary function, rl_variable_value, returns
a string corresponding to a readline variable's value.
g. When parsing inputrc files and variable binding commands, the parser
strips trailing whitespace from values assigned to boolean variables
before checking them.
h. A new external application-controllable variable that allows the LINES
and COLUMNS environment variables to set the window size regardless of
what the kernel returns.

[readline43-001]
Pressing certain key sequences causes an infinite loop in _rl_dispatch_subseq
with the `key' argument set to 256. This eventually causes bash to exceed
the stack size limit and crash with a segmentation violation.
[readline43-002]
Repeating an edit in vi-mode with `.' does not work.
[readline43-003]
When in a locale with multibyte characters, the readline display updater
will occasionally cause a segmentation fault when attempting to compute
the length of the first multibyte character on the line.
[readline43-004]
When running in a locale with multibyte characters, the readline display
updater will use carriage returns when drawing the line, overwriting any
partial output already on the screen and not terminated by a newline.
[readline43-005]
Using the vi editing mode's case-changing commands in a locale with
multibyte characters will cause garbage characters to be inserted into
the editing buffer.
