  • GNU Readline for direct mode

    From K.S. Bhaskar@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 5 12:34:34 2023
    While we have incrementally improved direct mode editing capabilities over the years, it always irked me a bit that bash had better line editing capabilities, and importantly, history recall from prior sessions. We finally implemented an option for
    direct mode to use GNU Readline. If you care to try it, please:


    - Checkout the branch at https://gitlab.com/YottaDB/DB/YDB/-/merge_requests/1382 and build it following the instructions at https://gitlab.com/YottaDB/DB/YDB

    - The instructions for use are at https://gitlab.com/YottaDB/DB/YDB/-/merge_requests/1382#end-user-release-note

    - Post feedback here or on Gitlab. We are very interested in comments that power users have.

    Please remember that this is code under development, which is still undergoing testing before being merged into the YDB code base for the next release. So use this in development and test environments, but not in production environments.

    Thank you very much.

    Regards
