New features:

--only-cook '!<regexp>' enables confident mode where every
possible prompt that matches a regexp is cooked immediately
(so that even prompts that get printed while handling a large
paste are cooked).
--no-children (-N) now enables direct mode whenever the client
switches to the alternate screen. This makes editors and pagers
usable even when using --always-readline on non-linux systems
--always-echo echoes user input even when the client has
switched off ECHO.
filter makefilter to easily employ shell commands (like sed,
or grep) as rlwrap filters
filters can change (some) bindable and internal readline
variables with a new RlwrapFilter method tweak_readline_oob()

Bug Fixes:

rlwrap now correctly handles bracketed paste
--ansi-colour-aware (-A) didn't do anything at all. Now it
recognises colour codes as well as common control codes like
window titles.
