0.48

Bug fixes

• rlwrap would mess up history when compiled with readline-8.3
• --filter 'filter_commandline $with <shell_metachars' would not find filters in $RLWRAP_FILTERDIR
• rlwrap would not always honour show-mode-in-prompt
• make pipeline filter find filters in $RLWRAP_FILTERDIR

New features

• allow full user control of word-breakers with --break-chars='precisely:...'
• simplify handling of --prompt-colour, which now accepts general (ANSI) color codes for e.g. 256-color terminals
• add -i option to filters logger and logger.py (making them useful stand-alone)
• add example filter null2.py (to show how to make argparse print filter help with e.g. rlwrap -z null2.py)

0.47.1

Minor bug fix

• Correct typo (== instead of = in a configure test) that caused a mis-configuration on systems where sh is linked to dash

0.47

Bug fix

• use libptytty by default and add --with-libptytty option to configure. Keep the original ptytty.c code as a fallback.

• add libtinfow to the list of libraries that are checked for the presence of tgetent()

• only look for filters in $RLWRAP_FILTERDIR and don't add this directory to filter's PATH

• have rlwrap source conform to POSIX.1c (as we cannot use Polarhome anymore to test on ancient systems)

• extend testclient with a test that spawns a child and then dies (testing the effect of --skip-setctty)

• make configure backdate src/completion.rb a few seconds to prevent spurious calls to rbgen

0.46.2

Bug fix

• python filters would cause "invalid escape sequence" SyntaxWarnings
  with python 3.12 or newer.

• --skip-ctty option skips making slave pty a controlling terminal

• warn (don't die) when a specified completion file is not found

• configure will bail out (not just warn) when no termcap -like
  library is found.

• additionally check for TERM when INSIDE_EMACS is set
  (allowing the use of rlwrap within shells run by emacs)

• gcc -Wformat-security would warn about rl_message() being
  used in an unsafe manner.

• silence unhelpful input/output error messages at command exit

0.46.1

Bug fix

When compiled with readline-8.2, correctly handle echo'ed user input when accepting a line (see #168)

This will disable bracketed-paste when compiled with readline-8.1 or earlier.

v0.46

Bug fixes:

• rlwrapfilter.py would not find collections.Callable with newer (>= 3.10) python
• rlwrapfilter.py would choke on rlwrap version strings (like 0.45.2) that cannot be converted by float()
• rlwrap could segfault or garble prompts containing a carriage return
• configure.ac would complain about obsolete macros with newest autoconf
• Bind TAB to self-insert if no completions are specified on the rlwrap command line

v0.45.2

Bug fixes:

• rlwrap enables bracketed-paste when instructed to do so by .inputrc, but would then never disable it at exit.
• rlwrap -z (i.e. rlwrap when using a filter) would still open /tmp/rlwrap.debug after forking the filter command, preventing other users from running it afterwards

v0.45.1

Bug fixes:

• rlwrap would always open /tmp/rlwrap.debug after forking child command, preventing other users from running it.
• Fix args to setitimer() call to prevent EINVAL error on return
• advise about --always-readline if in direct mode at first user ENTER keystroke
• check for I_SWROPT even if isastream() is present (compile would fail on Oracle linux)

v0.45

0.45

New features:

• --only-cook '!<regexp>' enables confident mode where every
  possible prompt that matches a regexp is cooked immediately
  (so that even prompts that get printed while handling a large
  paste are cooked).
• --no-children (-N) now enables direct mode whenever the client
  switches to the alternate screen. This makes editors and pagers
  usable even when using --always-readline on non-linux systems
• --always-echo echoes user input even when the client has
  switched off ECHO.
• filter makefilter to easily employ shell commands (like sed,
  or grep) as rlwrap filters
• filters can change (some) bindable and internal readline
  variables with a new RlwrapFilter method tweak_readline_oob()

Bug Fixes:

• rlwrap now correctly handles bracketed paste
• --ansi-colour-aware (-A) didn't do anything at all. Now it
  recognises colour codes as well as common control codes like
  window titles.

v0.44

New Features

• rlwrap is now aware of multi-byte characters and correctly handles prompts (or things that look like prompts, e.g. progress indicators) that contain them.
• rlwrap filters can now also filter signals (see RlwrapFilter(3pm)), changing them, or providing extra input to the rlwrapped command.
• Key sequences can now be bound to rlwrap-direct-keypress (using a new readline command rlwrap-direct-prefix) (contributed by Yuri d'Elia)

Bug fixes

• now works with the readline 8.1 (which exposed an old bug caused by rlwrap mis-handling enabled bracketed-paste)
• binding accept-line to a key would make pressing that key mess up the display
