;;; Change Log:
-;; From 1.9 to 1.91
-;;
-;; - Fixed a bug (introduced in 1.9) so now files can be marked for
-;; deletion again, by deleting their whole filename.
-
-;; From 1.8 to 1.9
-;;
-;; - Another alternative way of editing permissions allowed, see
-;; `wdired-allow-to-change-permissions' for details.
-;;
-;; - Now wdired doesn't rely on regexp so much. As a consequence of
-;; this, you can add newlines to filenames and symlinks targets
-;; (although this is not very usual, IMHO). Please note that dired
-;; (at least in Emacs 21.1 and previous) does not work very well
-;; with filenames with newlines in them, so RET is deactivated in
-;; wdired mode. But you can activate it if you want.
-;;
-;; - Now `upcase-word' `capitalize-word' and `downcase-word' are not
-;; advised to work better with wdired mode, but the keys bound to
-;; them use wdired versions of those commands.
-;;
-;; - Now "undo" actions are not inherited from wdired mode when
-;; changing to dired mode.
-;;
-;; - Code and documentation cleanups.
-;;
-;; - Fixed a bug that was making wdired to fail on users with
-;; `dired-backup-overwrite' set to t.
-;;
-;; - C-c C-[ now abort changes.
-
-;; From 1.7 to 1.8
-;;
-;; - Now permission (access-control) bits of the files can be changed.
-;; Please see the commentary section and the custom variable
-;; `wdired-allow-to-change-permissions' for details.
-;;
-;; - Added another possible value for the variable
-;; `wdired-always-move-to-filename-beginning', useful to change
-;; permission bits of several files without the cursor jumping to
-;; filenames when changing lines.
-
-;; From 0.1 to 1.7
-
-;; - I've moved the list of changes to another file, because it was
-;; huge. Ask me for it or search older versions in google.
