readline5 (5.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Package maintainers: Do not build-depend on libreadline5-dev, unless you

     therefore frozen for sarge.
 
   * New upstream release.
   * Bugs fixed in this release (and the alpha/beta releases):
     - Fixed a bug that caused the prompt to overwrite previous output when the
       output doesn't contain a newline and the locale supports multibyte
       characters.  This same change fixes the problem of readline redisplay
       slowing down dramatically as the line gets longer in multibyte locales.
       Closes: #179883.
     - Speedups to the multibyte character redisplay code. Closes: #154063.
     - Fixed a problem with EOF detection when using rl_event_hook.
       Closes: #144585.
     - Display of multibyte character in readline prompts. Closes: #195678.
     - Broken column output in UTF-8 locale. Closes: #161750.
     - Fix a bug in the callback read-char interface. Closes: #172849.
   * New shared object name. Obsoletes bug about changed symbol size.
     Closes: #153974.
   * Exported readline functions now have a rl_ prefix. Closes: #65484.

   * Fix package sections and priorities.

   * Add package rlfe (closes: #154400).

readline4 (4.3-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Apply upstream patches 001, 002, 003, 004, 005.
   * Do not redefine __attribute__ (closes: #191209).

2002

readline4 (4.3-4) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Apply upstream patches:
     - Fix segfault (closes: #154462).
     - Fix for repeating an edit in vi mode.
   * Build dependency on 'mawk | awk' (closes: #154462).

readline4 (4.3-3) unstable; urgency=high

   * Do it again. Really link against ncurses library.

readline4 (4.3-2) unstable; urgency=high

   * Link against ncurses library.

readline4 (4.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream version:
     - Handle multibyte characters (obsoletes and closes: #113078).
     - Implement toggable overwrite mode (closes: #36651).
     - Fixed the event loop to handle the case where the input file descriptor
       is invalidated (closes: #134615).

       HOME and END keys (closes: #150429).
   * Move debug library to /usr/lib/debug.

readline4 (4.2.91-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream version (4.3 beta1).

readline4 (4.2a-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Adjust for netbsd linker options (closes: #130349).

readline4 (4.2a-4) unstable; urgency=high

   * Taken from the current upstream sources: Make the symlinked directory
     completion behavior introduced in readline-4.2a a user-settable option.
     If `mark-symlinked-directories' is set to `on', the symlinked directory
     completion behavior is disabled, and symlinks that point to directories
     have a slash appended (closes: #120854, #123602).
     Same severity as the bash upload (2.05-4), as bash depends on it.
   * Introduced a new private (but global) variable, so the shlibs version
     needs an update again.

2001

readline4 (4.2a-3) unstable; urgency=medium

   * 4.2a has a new variable `rl_readline_version', so the shlibs version
     needs to be upgraded to (>= 4.2a).
   * Don't rely on HAVE_CONFIG_H macro in installed headers (closes: #125398).
   * Upstream: The completion code now attempts to do a better job of preserving
     the case of the word the user typed if ignoring case in completions.
     Closes: #74861.

readline4 (4.2a-2) unstable; urgency=high

   * Update config.{sub,guess} from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.
     Closes: #119847.

readline4 (4.2a-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Final release.
   * This is mainly a bugfix and code cleanup release (as you can see
     from the version number as well). Fixes the following Debian reports:
     - readline doesn't ignore null prompts anymore (closes: #105231).
     - Don't include -I/usr/include in CFLAGS.
   * Fix location of upstream source in copyright file (closes: #118481).

readline4 (4.2a-0rc1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream (bug fix) version, release candidate.

   * Fix tilde.h for C++ compatibility as well.

readline4 (4.2-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix header for C++ compatibility (closes #95048, #95758).

   * Include stdio.h in readline.h (fixes #70669).

readline4 (4.1-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low

   * Final release. Documentation fixes.

readline4 (4.1-0beta5db1) frozen unstable; urgency=low

   * Updated beta version.

1999

readline4 (4.0-0.1) experimental; urgency=low

   * New upstream version.
   * Fixed upstream (closes: #22480).
   * Separated from bash package, since readline is available as a
     separate source package upstream. The upstream author writes:
     "It's not appropriate to build shared libraries from the readline
      shipped with bash.  That is designed to be linked directly into bash."
   * Make /usr/doc compatibility links.
   * debian/patches/conf-update.dpatch: New config files from automake
     (closes #33745).
   * debian/rules: Add Build-Depends.

     #38397?  Should close #33168, #36077 and #42775 as well? The first report
     (33168) contains some more information how to get xemacs to work with 8bit.
   * Support to build on the Hurd (closes: #35769).
     Patch from Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de.
   * debian/patches/rl-del-backspace-policy.dpatch: Handle Delete/Backspace
     keys according to Debian policy.
