Here's the list of changes:

  Search strings are now all required, not just one of them! (reported by
  Megizo Pet).
  The shell command can now be run without arguments to run the current
  shell in the foreground.
  Implemented completion natively. The completion support in GNU readline
  is no longer used, but the microdc implementation tries to mimic GNU
  readline. The following improvements have been made:
    Complete partially quoted words (e.g. /ho"me").
    Add closing quote only when expected (cannot control this properly with
    GNU readline).
    Improved completion with wildcards - will no longer escape wildcards if
    there are many matches.
    Probably some other fixes as well.
  No longer accept c-style escapes (\n, \t etc), but still accepts octal
  escape sequences (\012, \011 etc).
  Sort file name completion results.
  Display files starting with dot in completion results only if completion
  file name starts with a dot.
  Implemented wildcard support for completion of local and remote files and
  directories. A wildcard can be disabled if escaped with backslash or if
  put inside double quotes (e.g. "*").
  The get command now accepts wildcards.
  Fixed a bug: Could get stuck reading the startup script on some systems.
  Fix raw command - don't escape the data for HTML display like it is done
  with msg and say.
  Fix msg command - could potentially send nothing or garbage due to
  freeing memory before using it. Escape the message properly as well.
  Fixed parsing of boolean values (for active variable currently only) -
  true was considered negative and false positive. Also allow for flexible
  translation (suggested by Jakub Jankowski).
  Added completion for boolean values (for set active).
  Fix compilation problems on FreeBSD:
    Include "strnlen.h" where strnlen was being used.
    Add Gnulib modules memmem, getline, progname.
    Add tempfailure.h.
  Add Gnulib module fnmatch-gnu for wildcard support.
