Changes in this version are mostly bugfixes; some new functionality
has been added as well. For an exhaustive list of changes, please
look at the CHANGES file included in the distribution.
buildlink2.mk files back into the main trunk. This provides sufficient
buildlink2 infrastructure to start merging other packages from the
buildlink2 branch that have already been converted to use the buildlink2
framework.
Summary of changes:
- removal of USE_GTEXINFO
- addition of mk/texinfo.mk
- inclusion of this file in package Makefiles requiring it
- `install-info' substituted by `${INSTALL_INFO}' in PLISTs
- tuning of mk/bsd.pkg.mk:
removal of USE_GTEXINFO
INSTALL_INFO added to PLIST_SUBST
`${INSTALL_INFO}' replace `install-info' in target rules
print-PLIST target now generate `${INSTALL_INFO}' instead of `install-info'
- a couple of new patch files added for a handful of packages
- setting of the TEXINFO_OVERRIDE "switch" in packages Makefiles requiring it
- devel/cssc marked requiring texinfo 4.0
- a couple of packages Makefiles were tuned with respect of INFO_FILES and
makeinfo command usage

* bug fixes
* improve linking with C++ code
+ a new file, rltypedefs.h, contains the new typedefs for function pointers
+ several minor additions to the API to customize look of readline
+ more complete documentation for public functions and variables
Relevant changes from 4.0:
e. The history library tries to truncate the history file only if it is a
regular file.
f. A bug that caused _rl_dispatch to address negative array indices on
systems with signed chars was fixed.
g. rl-yank-nth-arg now leaves the history position the same as when it was
called.
m. The quoted-insert code will now insert tty special chars like ^C.
n. A bug was fixed that caused the display code to reference memory before
the start of the prompt string.
p. A bug was fixed in readline's signal handling that could cause infinite
recursion in signal handlers.
q. A bug was fixed that caused the point to be less than zero when rl_forward
was given a very large numeric argument.
r. The vi-mode code now gets characters via the application-settable value
of rl_getc_function rather than calling rl_getc directly.
t. Fixed a bug in the redisplay code for lines with more than 256 line
breaks.
u. A bug was fixed which caused invisible character markers to not be
stripped from the prompt string if the terminal was in no-echo mode.
v. Readline no longer tries to get the variables it needs for redisplay
from the termcap entry if the calling application has specified its
own redisplay function. Readline treats the terminal as `dumb' in
this case.
w. Fixes to the SIGWINCH code so that a multiple-line prompt with escape
sequences is redrawn correctly.
b. Parentheses matching is now always compiled into readline, and enabled
or disabled when the value of the `blink-matching-paren' variable is
changed.
e. history-search-{forward,backward} now leave the point at the end of the
line when the string to search for is empty, like
{reverse,forward}-search-history.
f. history-search-{forward,backward} now leave the last history line found
in the readline buffer if the second or subsequent search fails.
g. New function for use by applications: rl_on_new_line_with_prompt, used
when an application displays the prompt itself before calling readline().
h. New variable for use by applications: rl_already_prompted. An application
that displays the prompt itself before calling readline() must set this to
a non-zero value.
i. A new variable, rl_gnu_readline_p, always 1. The intent is that an
application can verify whether or not it is linked with the `real'
readline library or some substitute.
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
in tree, so take the necessary elements from Jaromir's package:
+ build and install libhistory
+ build and install shared history and readline libraries.
+ install readline and history info pages with the correct names
Preserve change from the original package:
+ don't assume that the Makefile SHELL is Bourne shell - set it
explicitly, so that Bourne shell scripts aren't run by the csh(1)
NetBSD packages collection. This is because some other packages play
dirty and muck about with the internals of the readline structures, so
our libedit-based emulation won't suffice for that. A pity.
