+This document details the changes between this version, readline-4.3,
+and the previous version, readline-4.2a.
+
+1.  Changes to Readline
+
+a.  Fixed output of comment-begin character when listing variable values.
+
+b.  Added some default key bindings for common escape sequences produced by
+    HOME and END keys.
+
+c.  Fixed the mark handling code to be more emacs-compatible.
+
+d.  A bug was fixed in the code that prints possible completions to keep it
+    from printing empty strings in certain circumstances.
+
+e.  Change the key sequence printing code to print ESC as M\- if ESC is a
+    meta-prefix character -- it's easier for users to understand than \e.
+
+f.  Fixed unstifle_history() to return values that match the documentation.
+
+g.  Fixed the event loop (rl_event_hook) to handle the case where the input
+    file descriptor is invalidated.
+
+h.  Fixed the prompt display code to work better when the application has a
+    custom redisplay function.
+
+i.  Changes to make reading and writing the history file a little faster, and
+    to cope with huge history files without calling abort(3) from xmalloc.
+
+j.  The vi-mode `S' and `s' commands are now undone correctly.
+
+k.  Fixed a problem which caused the display to be messed up when the last
+    line of a multi-line prompt (possibly containing invisible characters)
+    was longer than the screen width.
+
+2.  New Features in Readline
+
+a.  Support for key `subsequences':  allows, e.g., ESC and ESC-a to both
+    be bound to readline functions.  Now the arrow keys may be used in vi
+    insert mode.
+
+b.  When listing completions, and the number of lines displayed is more than
+    the screen length, readline uses an internal pager to display the results.
+    This is controlled by the `page-completions' variable (default on).
+
+c.  New code to handle editing and displaying multibyte characters.
+
+d.  The behavior introduced in bash-2.05a of deciding whether or not to
+    append a slash to a completed name that is a symlink to a directory has
+    been made optional, controlled by the `mark-symlinked-directories'
+    variable (default is the 2.05a behavior).
+
+e.  The `insert-comment' command now acts as a toggle if given a numeric
+    argument:  if the first characters on the line don't specify a
+    comment, insert one; if they do, delete the comment text
+
+f.  New application-settable completion variable:
+    rl_completion_mark_symlink_dirs, allows an application's completion
+    function to temporarily override the user's preference for appending
+    slashes to names which are symlinks to directories.
+
+g.  New function available to application completion functions:
+    rl_completion_mode, to tell how the completion function was invoked
+    and decide which argument to supply to rl_complete_internal (to list
+    completions, etc.).
+
+h.  Readline now has an overwrite mode, toggled by the `overwrite-mode'
+    bindable command, which could be bound to `Insert'.
+
+i.  New application-settable completion variable:
+    rl_completion_suppress_append, inhibits appending of
+    rl_completion_append_character to completed words.
+
+j.  New key bindings when reading an incremental search string:  ^W yanks
+    the currently-matched word out of the current line into the search
+    string; ^Y yanks the rest of the current line into the search string,
+    DEL or ^H deletes characters from the search string.

+This document details the changes between this version, readline-4.2a,
+and the previous version, readline-4.2.
+
+1.  Changes to Readline
+
+a.  More `const' and type casting fixes.
+
+b.  Changed rl_message() to use vsnprintf(3) (if available) to fix buffer
+    overflow problems.
+
+c.  The completion code no longer appends a `/' or ` ' to a match when
+    completing a symbolic link that resolves to a directory name, unless
+    the match does not add anything to the word being completed.  This
+    means that a tab will complete the word up to the full name, but not
+    add anything, and a subsequent tab will add a slash.
+
+d.  Fixed a trivial typo that made the vi-mode `dT' command not work.
+
+e.  Fixed the tty code so that ^S and ^Q can be inserted with rl_quoted_insert.
+
+f.  Fixed the tty code so that ^V works more than once.
+
+g.  Changed the use of __P((...)) for function prototypes to PARAMS((...))
+    because the use of __P in typedefs conflicted g++ and glibc.
+
+h.  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.
+
+i.  Readline defaults to not echoing the input and lets the terminal
+    initialization code enable echoing if there is a controlling terminal.
+
+j.  The key binding code now processes only two hex digits after a `\x'
+    escape sequence, and the documentation was changed to note that the
+    octal and hex escape sequences result in an eight-bit value rather
+    than strict ASCII.
+
+k.  Fixed a few places where negative array subscripts could have occurred.
+    
+l.  Fixed the vi-mode code to use a better method to determine the bounds of
+    the array used to hold the marks, and to avoid out-of-bounds references.
+    
+m.  Fixed the defines in chardefs.h to work better when chars are signed.
+    
+n.  Fixed configure.in to use the new names for bash autoconf macros.
+    
+o.  Readline no longer attempts to define its own versions of some ctype
+    macros if they are implemented as functions in libc but not as macros in
+    <ctype.h>.
+
+p.  Fixed a problem where rl_backward could possibly set point to before
+    the beginning of the line.
+
+q.  Fixed Makefile to not put -I/usr/include into CFLAGS, since it can cause
+    include file problems.
+
+2.  New Features in Readline
+
+a.  Added extern declaration for rl_get_termcap to readline.h, making it a
+    public function (it was always there, just not in readline.h).
+
+b.  New #defines in readline.h:  RL_READLINE_VERSION, currently 0x0402,
+    RL_VERSION_MAJOR, currently 4, and RL_VERSION_MINOR, currently 2.
+
+c.  New readline variable:  rl_readline_version, mirrors RL_READLINE_VERSION.
+
+d.  New bindable boolean readline variable:  match-hidden-files.  Controls
+    completion of files beginning with a `.' (on Unix).  Enabled by default.
+
+e.  The history expansion code now allows any character to terminate a
+    `:first-' modifier, like csh.
+
+f.  The incremental search code remembers the last search string and uses
+    it if ^R^R is typed without a search string.
+
+h.  New bindable variable `history-preserve-point'.  If set, the history
+    code attempts to place the user at the same location on each history
+    line retrived with previous-history or next-history.
