Changelog

3.3 - Unreleased

3.2 - 2024-10-15

  • Include fully-patched GNU Readline 8.2.13. [stefan]
  • Replace size_t with Py_ssize_t. [stefan]
  • Remove unnecessary function pointer casts. [stefan]
  • Do not rely on Python.h for standard headers. [stefan]
  • Update to Python 3.13 C-API. [stefan]
  • Update tox.ini for latest tox. [stefan]
  • Replace deprecated python setup.py build_sphinx in tox.ini. [stefan]

3.1 - 2022-10-31

  • Include GNU Readline 8.2. [stefan]
  • Improve documentation and example code. Promote using generator as a decorator. [stefan]

  • Implement Python 3.6 readline.set_auto_history and the corresponding history.auto. [stefan]
  • Fall back to ncurses if termcap auto-detection fails. This at least produces a linker error instead of silently borking the extension. [stefan]
  • Replace deprecated python setup.py test in tox.ini. [stefan]

3.0 - 2019-03-20

  • Include GNU Readline 8.0. [stefan]
  • Support Python 3.6 os.PathLike objects for filenames. [stefan]
  • Handle new GIL checks in Python 3.6. See PYTHONMALLOC. [stefan]

  • Catch up with bug fixes applied to the standard library readline module. [stefan]
  • Stop using 2to3. [stefan]
  • Remove reset APIs from the documentation. They override ~/.inputrc and should only be used in tests. [stefan]

2.3 - 2012-07-18

1.16 - 2011-07-28

  • Add a default display_matches_hook that behaves exactly like readline behaves in Bash. [stefan]
  • Add reset functions to completer, completion, and history. [stefan]

1.14 - 2011-05-05

  • Add xfree.c to sources when building GNU Readline 6.2. [stefan]
  • Allow history indexes of type long. [stefan]

1.13 - 2011-03-11

1.10 - 2010-05-05

  • Rework the history interface: Implement iteration and remove redundant APIs. [stefan]
  • History stifling could cause duplicate history entries. [stefan]
  • Make sure begidx and endidx completion variables are reset to 0. [stefan]

1.9 - 2010-04-02

  • Remove unused defines; we don't support libedit or readline < 5.0. [stefan]

  • Support installation into MacPython for Mac OS X. [stefan]

1.5.4 - 2010-03-01

  • Avoid segfaults during codec lookup by calling PyGILState_Ensure in all the right places. Fixes rl issue/5. Removes the workaround introduced in 1.5.2. [stefan]

  • Re-release with link to the correct issue. [stefan]

1.5.2 - 2010-02-26

1.4 - 2010-02-13

1.0 - 2009-11-08

  • No changes since 1.0a8.

1.0a8 - 2009-11-07

  • Close a memory leak in word_break_hook. Three cheers for Xcode's leaks tool. [stefan]

1.0a7 - 2009-11-05

  • Remove dump and read_key APIs from public interfaces. [stefan]

  • Fix a memory leak in username_completion_function and filename_completion_function. [stefan]
  • Add a custom epydoc stylesheet to make its reST rendering more pleasant. [stefan]

1.0a5 - 2009-10-29

  • Make all completion properties writable. While not useful in production, this allows us to write better tests. [stefan]
  • Improve API documentation and add a call graph for the completion process. This goes a long way in explaining how readline completion works. [stefan]

1.0a4 - 2009-10-27

  • Implement the generator factory using an iterator instead of a list. [stefan]
  • Remove find_completion_word so people don't get ideas. [stefan]

  • Add __slots__ to interface objects to make them immutable. [stefan]
  • Support Python 2.5, 2.6, and 3.1 (thanks to distribute). [stefan]
