Changelog

readline6 (6.3-8ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
    - Build x32 packages.

readline6 (6.3-8) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Split out a readline-doc package for documentation and examples.
    Closes: #749168.

readline6 (6.3-7) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Apply upstream patches 001 - 006. Fixes:
    - The `.' command in vi mode cannot undo multi-key commands beginning with
      `c', `d', and `y' (command plus motion specifier).
    - When in callback mode, some readline commands can cause readline to
      segfault by passing invalid contexts to callback functions.
    - There are debugging functions in the readline release that are
      theoretically exploitable as security problems.
      They are not public functions, but have global linkage.
    - The signal handling changes to bash and readline (to avoid running any
      code in a signal handler context) cause the cursor to be placed on the
      wrong line of a multi-line command after a ^C interrupts editing.
    - There are still applications using the deprecated Function/VFunction/etc.
      typedefs in rltypedefs.h.  This patch restores the typedefs, but attempts
      to mark them as deprecated using gcc/clang attributes.
    - Using reverse-i-search when horizontal scrolling is enabled does not
      redisplay the entire line containing the successful search results.
  * Remove local patches included in the upstream updates.
  * Apply upstream bash patch bash43-021:
    - When the readline `revert-all-at-newline' option is set, pressing newline
      when the current line is one retrieved from history results in a double
      free and a segmentation fault.
  * Add home code for rxvt in inputrc. Closes: #722087.

readline6 (6.3-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Really apply the patch to fix the display issue when a multiline
    command is aborted with ^C. Closes: #743603.

readline6 (6.3-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix a display issue when a multiline command is aborted with ^C.
