Pure-Ruby Readline: released 0.2.0!

Well, after some time and a bunch of helpful contributions, here comes an updated version of rb-readline.

This version is mainly a bug fixing release:

  • Accept ‘cygwin’ as valid terminal [rogerdpack]
  • Accept ‘dumb’ as valid terminal. Closes GH-7
  • Fix crash when performing reverse look search. Closes GH-6

Install instructions

  1. Download rb-readline-0.2.0.zip from GitHub downloads
  2. Extract to a folder and open a command prompt there (or cd into it)
  3. Execute ruby setup.rb

That should update the installed rb-readline. Just to verify, execute the following in the command prompt:

ruby -rreadline -e "puts Readline::RB_READLINE_VERSION"

The output should say 0.2.0

More to come
