rb-readline version 0.5.1 has been released!
* https://github.com/luislavena/rb-readline
= Description
The readline library provides a pure Ruby implementation of the GNU
readline C library, as well as the Readline extension that ships as part
of the standard library.
= Synopsis
require 'readline'
loop do
line = Readline::readline('> ')
break if line.nil? || line == 'quit'
Readline::HISTORY.push(line)
puts "You typed: #{line}"
end
= Compatibility
rb-readline should work on all Unix-like systems and Windows. It is
regularly
used with MRI 1.8/1.9 and Rubinius. JRuby is not supported and there are no
plans to support it in the future - it comes bundled with a Java
implementation
of Readline.
= Motivation
First, building the GNU readline library on MS Windows with Visual C++ is
almost impossible. However, certain libraries depend on readline. By
providing
a pure Ruby version we eliminate the entire compiler compatibility issue.
Second, even on distributions of Windows built with MinGW (that include
the readline library for Windows), the behavior was sometimes erratic and
would break.
= Installation
gem install rb-readline
or
gem update rb-readline
When previous version was installed
