Not really, if "make config" says it enabled readline then it
should have enabled readline and the S-nail command line should be
driven by it?  And colour support changed, the commit message
says, and the NEWS entry will be along these lines:

    Completely rework colour: add `colour' and `mono' commands..

    v15 and above will be more feature rich (shall they ever be
    reached).  The next major release will not happen before 2017.
    This is two years.  And since S-nail has become pretty stable and
    works pretty well too i'm hoping that it'll attract some people in
    these forthcoming years.  Assuming this really happens it seems
    best not to use that hacky variable-based colour approach, it was
    nothing but a quick hack around new years eve 2013/2014 in order
    to honour John Dodson and Ypnose with some coloured output, but to
    take some time and implement something that will last.

    Like that we can make the colour stuff truly upwards compatible
    today and can also support at least font attributes on monochrome
    displays

(..I think i'll furtherly diversify this by adding a `colour256'
command, since the termcap/terminfo initialization happens after
the user configuration files are read, and thus there is no
possibility to query the number of colours from within there.)

 |patched 14.8.6 now and it is fine. Just wanted to check the next branch.

Of course!  You can easily use [next], there are no issues known
(moving [customhdr] onto it was a bit too fast; a single fix
yesterday affected the `customhdr' command when feeding the header
field body as multiple arguments), except that
*mime-alternative-favour-rich* is too stupid to face real life
yet.  But it contains backward-incompatible fixes and changes, and
without looking over the output of "$ git log --oneline
master..next" you likely won't have a good experience.  I'm sorry
that i sometimes can't support the "upgrading doesn't change
behaviour". :(  I hope this will be possible after v15, though.
