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
- Download
rb-readline-0.2.0.zipfrom GitHub downloads - Extract to a folder and open a command prompt there (or cd into it)
- 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
