Also, files stored in the emacs-mule encoding using Emacs 20 with additional private charsets defined will probably not be read correctly by Emacs 21. +** Not really a change (yet), but a projected one that of which you +should be aware of: The variable `directory-sep-char' is deprecated, +and should not be used. It was always ignored on GNU/Linux and Unix +systems and on MS-DOS, but the MS-Windows port tried to support it by +adapting the behavior of certain primitives to the value of this +variable. It turned out that such support cannot be reliable, so it +was decided to remove this variable in the near future. Lisp programs +are well advised not to set it to anything but '/', because any +different value will not have any effect when support for this +variable is removed. + * Lisp changes made after edition 2.6 of the Emacs Lisp Manual, (Display-related features are described in a page of their own below.) |
