• Fix packaging, missing files in libeditline1, regression from 1.16.0
• Fix packaging, update to latest std version
• Fix formatting of function names in man page
• Restore tar.gz distribution, for usability on systems that do not have xz in their default install

Changes

• Simple multi-line support by Dima Volynets, @dvolynets

Fixes

• Fix return value from read_history() and write_history(), could return errno instead of EOF to indicate error. Now both functions have uniform return values on error

Changes

• Major updates to the editline.3 man page

Fixes

• Fix #20: configure --disable-eof does not bite
• Fix #23: Make Ctrl-L clear the screan instead of starting a new line
  Like Ctrl-D, which exits, Ctrl-L only clears the screen when the line is empty and the cursor is at the start of the line, otherwise Ctrl-L will redraw/refresh the current line.
• Fix #24: Fix behavior when TTY is narrower than column width, by Will Dietz
• Fix #25: Avoid continuously duplicate commands in history
• Fix #31: Aborting i-search with Ctrl-C should not generate signal

Bug fix release.

Changes

• Refactor all enable/disable configure options, same problem as in #7

Fixes

Bug fixes and minor feature creep in pkg-config support.

Changes

• Prevent mangling of symbols when linking with C++. Patch courtesy of Jakub Pawlowski
• Add libeditline.pc for pkg-config

Fixes

• Do not assume a termcap library exists, check for tgetent() in curses, ncurses, tinfo and termcap libraries
• Call tty_flush() when user calls rl_forced_update_display() to prevent screen becoming garbled. Patch by Jakub Pawlowski
