93	- install {readline,history}.info out of the source directory if

139				   ----

154shlib/Makefile.in
155	- made the suffix rule that creates xx.so from xx.c write the
156	  compiler output to `a.o', which is then mv'd to xx.so, because
157	  some compilers (Sun WSpro 4.2, for example) don't allow any
158	  suffixes other than `.o' for `cc -c' (not even `a.out')
159
160				   9/15

296
297Makefile.in
298	- broke the header file install and uninstall into two new targets:
299	  install-headers and uninstall-headers

301	  respectively
302	- changed install-shared and uninstall-shared targets to depend on
303	  install-headers and uninstall-headers, respectively, so users may
304	  choose to install only the shared libraries.  I'm not sure about
305	  the uninstall one yet -- maybe it should check whether or not
306	  the static libraries are installed and not remove the header files
307	  if they are
308

346				   ----

367				   ----
368shlib/Makefile.in
369	- change the soname bound into the shared libraries, so it includes
370	  only the major version number.  If it includes the minor version,
371	  programs depending on it must be rebuilt (which may or may not be
372	  a bad thing)
373
374				    9/6
375				    ---
376examples/rlfe.c
377	- add -l option to log input and output (-a option appends to logfile)

404	- new file, with backwards-compatibility function definitions
405
406Makefile.in,shlib/Makefile.in
407	- make sure that compat.o/compat.so are built and linked apppropriately
408
409support/shobj-conf
410	- picked up bash version, which means that shared libs built on
411	  linux and BSD/OS 4.x will have an soname that does not include
412	  the minor version number
413
414				   11/13
415				   -----
416examples/rlfe.c
417	- rlfe can perform filename completion for relative pathnames in the
418	  inferior process's context if the OS supports /proc/PID/cwd (linux
419	  does it OK, Solaris is slightly warped, none of the BSDs have it)
