2014-02-18T00:04:36+00:00

This exposes a setPrompt for and other readline features

doc: mark repl as stable

2013-08-28T01:09:26+00:00

Closes #6090

repl: emit 'reset' event when context is reset

2013-03-14T20:49:14+00:00

Closes #1183.

doc: add prompt to fix repl_test.js example

2013-02-13T15:40:27+00:00

Running repl.start without the prompt set produces this error:

repl.js:95
    throw new Error('An options Object, or a prompt String are required');
          ^

repl: add a 'useColors' option to the repl

2012-03-28T01:00:59+00:00

This should only be minimally used, since the `terminal` value will usually be
what you are expecting. This option is specifically for the case where `terminal`
is false, but you still want colors to be output (or vice-versa).

repl: add a 'writer' option to the repl

2012-03-28T00:39:14+00:00

Previously this was a module-level setting, meaning that all REPL instances
had to share the same writer function. Turning it into one of the options
allows individual REPL instances to use their own writer function.

repl: make ^D emit an 'end' event on the readline instance

2012-03-27T20:54:49+00:00

Also emit 'exit' on the repl when 'end' is emitted on the readline.

Fixes `node debug test/fixtures/breakpoints.js` when ^D is pressed.

readline: migrate ansi/vt100 logic from tty to readline

2012-03-26T22:21:25+00:00

The overall goal here is to make readline more interoperable with other node
Streams like say a net.Socket instance, in "terminal" mode.

See #2922 for all the details.
Closes #2922.
