NEWS: ===== This is a new upstream release. Differences from the previous version can be found in http://www.caliban.org/files/bash/Changelog. This version works with both bash 3.0-14 and the experimental bash 3.1-x. DESCRIPTION: ============ bash-completion provides programmable completion enhancements to bash TAB-completion. Based on the command you type, hitting TAB later on in the command line will perform completions on strings that make sense for the context of the command, rather than blindly completing on filenames. NOTE: ===== You MUST edit your bash startup files to load bash-completion into memory: make sure ~/.bashrc sources /etc/bash_completion, and ~/.bash_profile sources ~/.bashrc. See /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.bashrc (after installing base-files-3.7-1) for an example. Bash completions is not enabled by default because it adds some noticeable startup delay to every interactive shell (ranging from 1.5 seconds on my 2.5 GHz WinXP, to over 19 seconds on my 266 MHz Win98). Depending on the reaction on the cygwin mailing list, a future release may make bash_completion turned on by default for every bash user, with no edits to ~/.bashrc required. UPDATE: ======= To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'bash-completion' from the 'Shells' category. DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin bash-completion maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: ================================= To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
