The command has been + updated to color all elements consistently in such a case. + + * Unicode width table update. + + * Recent OpenSSH creates the Unix domain socket to communicate with + ssh-agent under $HOME instead of /tmp, which causes our test to + fail doe to overly long pathname in our test environment, which has + been worked around by using "ssh-agent -T". + +Also contains various documentation updates, code cleanups and minor fixups. |
