Hello Andrei,

I assume you compiled 5.2.13 from source? If so, make sure your
configure output displays either readline and / or conio enabled, this
will provide you with the history feature.

For TAB autocompletion, I tried to activate it several times but
failed miserably. ;)

You may need to install a variety of development packages in debian, try
readline-dev, ncurses-dev and so on (sorry, I cannot provide exact
package names as I'm on CentOS ATM).

Good luck,

Uwe
