Currently, psql --version prints something like psql (PostgreSQL) 9.2beta1 contains support for command-line editing
I think the notice about readline is a leftover from the old days when psql was often built without any readline support. Nowadays, this looks like an anomaly, and it doesn't actually contain any information that would be useful nowadays, such as which particular library is used or what kind of history support is active. I suggest we remove this second line, or alternatively, we could add more useful detail, but what? -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
