Did you actually look at the NEWS file?
o The Unix-alike readline terminal interface now does
command-completion for R objects, incorporating the
functionality formerly in package 'rcompletion' by Deepayan
Sarkar. This can be disabled by setting the environment
variable R_COMPLETION=FALSE when starting R (e.g. in
~/.Renviron). (Note that when this is enabled, filename
completion no longer works for file paths containing R
operators such as '+' and '-'.)
What 'properly' means is of course a matter of taste, but I am very
surprised that you posted such a comment about something highlighted under
USER-VISIBLE CHANGES as a configurable option.
R-devel has an option to fine-tune this behaviour.
