NEWS: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D This is a minor rebuild, updating to take advantage of newer cygwin features and dropping the dynamicbase flag from dlls now that 'rebaseall' is able to do a better job. See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/readline/. NOTES: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Be aware that an issue with offering libreadline as both a static and dynamic library has been identified - some functions, such as rl_function_of_keyseq, cannot work correctly with both library styles without some additional __declspec decoration in the dynamic case. This release caters to static compilation (and packages like bash that use the problematic functions from dynamic readline have to add a minimal workaround); it is possible that a future package will either be dynamic-only, or that compiling against the static readline-6.0 will require the declaration of a preprocessor macro, so that dynamic linking works without requiring patches to every client. DESCRIPTION: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The readline library will read a line from the terminal and return it, allowing the user to edit the line with emacs or vi editing keys. It also allows a history feature, for editing previous entries, making command line interfaces easier-to-use and more intuitive. libreadline7 provides the .dlls needed for readline and history expansion for dynamic linking in other programs, including bash and gdb; it is required for a minimal cygwin installation. The 7 in libreadline7 distinguishes incompatible API changes made to the prior libreadline5 and libreadline6 libraries still available on the mirrors. readline provides the documentation and the static libraries required for static linking; you should only need it if you plan on compiling an application that links with -lreadline or -lhistory. UPDATE: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 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 'libreadline7' from the 'Base' category (it should already be selected), or 'readline' in the 'Devel' category. Since this is an experimental release, you will need to use the 'Exp' radio button to get access to this version. Be sure that you do not have any cygwin programs running during the upgrade.
