Actually, there was a significant regression. Many many years ago, Oracle decided to drop the support for the gpl-licensed readline altogether, likely because they can't ship it with MySQL Enterprise. To this day, Percona still carries a small patch to add that functionality back, which is great because I wouldn't touch any CLI without readline.
