New features:

0.45

• --only-cook '!<regexp>' enables confident mode where every possible prompt that matches a regexp is cooked immediately (so that even prompts that get printed while handling a large paste are cooked).
• --no-children (-N) now enables direct mode whenever the client switches to the alternate screen. This makes editors and pagers usable even when using --always-readline on non-linux systems --always-echo echoes user input even when the client has switched off ECHO.
• filter makefilter to easily employ shell commands (like sed, or grep) as rlwrap filters
• filters can change (some) bindable and internal readline variables with a new RlwrapFilter method tweak_readline_oob()

Bug fixes:

0.45.2

• rlwrap enables bracketed-paste when instructed to do so by .inputrc, but would then never disable it at exit.
• rlwrap -z (i.e. rlwrap when using a filter) would still open /tmp/rlwrap.debug after forking the filter command, preventing other users from running it afterwards

0.45.1

• rlwrap would always open /tmp/rlwrap.debug after forking child command, preventing other users from running it.
• Fix args to setitimer() call to prevent EINVAL error on return
• advise about --always-readline if in direct mode at first user ENTER keystroke
• check for I_SWROPT even if isastream() is present (compile would fail on Oracle linux)

0.45

• rlwrap now correctly handles bracketed paste
• --ansi-colour-aware (-A) didn't do anything at all. Now it recognises colour codes as well as common control codes like window titles.
