v1.6.0

• Updated the Readline library to v8.2 patch 7 (the list here omits changes that were contributed to Readline from Clink, or which do not affect Clink).
  • New features:
    • History expansion better understands multiple history expansions that may contain strings that would ordinarily inhibit history expansion (e.g., abc!$!$).
    • There is a new fetch-history bindable command that retrieves the history entry corresponding to its numeric argument. Negative arguments count back from the end of the history.
    • There is a new option: enable-active-region. This separates control of the active region and bracketed-paste. It has the same default value as bracketed-paste, and enabling bracketed paste enables the active region. Users can now turn off the active region while leaving bracketed paste enabled.
    • Readline looks in %LS_COLORS% for a custom filename extension (*.readline-colored-completion-prefix) and uses that as the default color for the common prefix displayed when colored-completion-prefix is set, superseding the so type if both are present.
    • Two new bindable string variables: active-region-start-color and active-region-end-color. The first sets the color used to display the active region; the second is unused and unnecessary in Clink, but exists anyway for compatibility. If set, these are used in place of terminal standout mode.
  • Fixes:
    • Fixed a problem with cleaning up active marks.
    • Fixed a problem with arithmetic comparison operators checking the version in the inputrc file.
    • Fixed a bug that could cause readline to crash if the application removed the callback line handler before readline read all typeahead.
    • Added additional checks for read errors in the middle of readline commands.
    • Fixed a problem with unix-filename-rubout that caused it to delete too much when applied to a pathname consisting only of one or more slashes.
    • Fixed a problem that caused the \r output by turning off bracketed paste to overwrite the line if terminal echo was disabled.
    • Fixed a couple problems where transpose-words could corrupt the end of the input line.
    • Fixed an issue that caused a history line's undo list to be cleared when it should not have been.
    • Fixed leaked memory from undo lists.
    • When replacing a history entry, make sure the existing entry has a non-NULL timestamp before copying it; it may have been added by the application, not the history library.
• The blink-matching-paren setting works in Clink now.
• Completion works for UNC share names now (share names like \\server\share, not server names like \\server).
• Improved undo grouping for consecutive inserted text.
• Added os.enumshares() to enumerate the SMB UNC shares on a given server.
• Fixed Lua error messages from custom Lua libraries that report errors using table objects instead of strings.
• Fixed issue with the autosuggest.hint setting where it could apply incorrect input line coloring when the Right key isn't bound to one of the usual commands for that key.
• Internal changes and optimizations.
