BashStyle-NG
=== Introduction ===
BashStyle-NG consists of a graphical tool and a functionchain.
The graphical tool (bashstyle) is used to easily change a huge amount options
regarding Bash, Readline, VIm and Nano. The configurtion is stored using ConfigOBJ.
The functionchain is used to realize the setup when starting a new Bash.
Besides a diversity of additional functions or wrappers is provided.
Another thing shipped is dirinfo (a simple, in-progress directory-indexing
mechanism for the shell), aswell as a first-run-wizard.
12 different prompt-styles are shipped, all of them can be modified using the
GUIs built-in custom-prompt-builder (CPB).
Every option and every function is described in the documentation.

Changes since 7.12.1:
Overview of changes in v8.00 "We're Getting High With The Rhythm"
--- Important Note #1 ---
This release switched from GConf based configuration to ConfigObj.
Advantages:
- *much* faster startup from terminal
- usable from both python (ConfigObj) and Bash (ini-parser)
[read: all options could be changed from Bash now, too]
- bs-ng-profiler and rc-generator no longer required
Disadvantages:
- you have to fully re-setup BashStyle-NG (both GUI and Wizard)
--- Important Note #2 ---
This release requires GTK+3 / Python-GI
=== Bug fixes ===
* #128 (ui):
fixed C-P-B (Custom Prompt Builder) showing no longer existent
themes (and theme-code) from the "Choose Style to modify:" combo-box
* #129 (configure):
when configured via debian/rules, configure got the prefix wrong
* #130 (profile):
display-managers like XDM don't source /etc/profile.d/*,
so let nx-rc self-check, whether our profile was sourced
* #131 (readline/vim/nano):
don't create an rc for readline, vim or nano, if one is already going
to be created (fixes annoying issues when opening splitvt or two
terminals at a time)
* #132 (show_system_load):
enforce LANG=C when calling uptime, so that it properly works in all cases
* #133 (toolbox/about):
fix the bug that the toolbox and about-dialog could only
be properly invoked once per session
* #134 (configure):
fix detection of gir-repository-path on x86_64 (tested on Fedora 18)
* #135 (functions):
define all functions as such, to prevent errors on startup if a vendor
alias has the same name then a BS-NG function (eg: ll on Fedora)
* #136 (make):
fixed uninstallation of BS-NG
* #137 (debian/control):
make debian package depend on gir1.2-gtk-3.0

* configure can now check for GIR Repositories
* configure can now check for python sub-modules
* options like aliases can now be reverted to previous user-value
