 Major changes between "less" versions 692 and 702

 * Add --hilite-target option and -DJ to color target line (github 745).

 * Add --past-eof option.

 * Add --end-prompt option.

 * Add --emouse and --rmouse options, and horizontal mouse scrolling
   and dragging (github 744).

 * Add -DT option to format tilde lines (github 725).

 * Change OSC 8 link handling: replace LESS_OSC8_xxx with
 LESS_OSC8_OPEN_xxx.
   Remove %O from prompt expansion as no longer needed.
   Any use of environment variables LESS_OSC8_xxx need to be manually
   changed to use LESS_OSC8_OPEN_xxx.

 * Add ?o to prompt strings, to detect whether an OSC 8 link is selected.

 * When scrolling past end-of-file or before beginning-of-file,
   stop when exactly one line is left on screen.

 * Make -w/-W highlight lines when moving backward as well as forward
   (github 729).

 * Display pattern in "Pattern not found" message (github 731).

 * Allow m and M commands to take a numeric argument to specify the
   line to be marked (github 736).

 * Allow ' command to take a numeric argument to specify the screen
   position on which to place the marked line.

 * Allow lesskey to map keypad ENTER with \kpe (github 761).

 * Add "noaction" as a possible action in #line-edit section
   in a lesskey file (github 761).

 * Support POSIX character classes with the built-in V8 regex library
   (github 732).

 * Change | command to pipe just one line if the marked line is at the
   top of the screen (github 733).

 * If OSC8 handler command begins with "-", suppress command echo,
   and if it begins with ctrl-P, suppress "done" message (github 747).

 * Don't ask for confirmation when input is a binary file and stdout is
   redirected. Fixes infinite loop in that situation (github 719).

 * Make early error messages go to stderr if stdout is redirected
   (github 719).

 * Don't retry read after read error; fixes hang when attempting to read
   a directory or other unreadable file (github 741).

 * Fix incorrect restoration of saved mark if not at top of screen.

 * With --save-marks, don't save a mark that was cleared with ESC-m.

 * Fix buffer overflow when using malformed lesskey file (github 721).

   defined in lesskey file (github 727).

   Also fixes --no-paste option (github 724).

   without color, such as -DS-u (github 730).

 * Fix crash when tags file contains invalid line number 0 (github 743).

   some shells (github 753).

 * Fix erroneous highlighting when using a search pattern containing more
   than 5 pairs of parentheses with PCRE2 (github 754).

 * When ^X interrupts F mode, discard pending keys as is done when
   ^C interrupts it (github 757).

 * Fix bug in Windows where pressing any key during "waiting for data"
 would
   prevent a subsequent ^X from working.

 * Fix erroneous display in some situations when using LESS_LINES (github
 759).

 * Fix erroneous display after certain messages are displayed in a
   very narrow terminal (github 760).

 * Don't init terminal if stdout is not a tty (github 768).
