#+options: toc:nil num:nil #+link: compat https://todo.sr.ht/~pkal/compat/ * Release of "Compat" Version 28.1.2.2 This is a minor release that hopes to address [[compat:7]]. (Release <2022-08-25 Thu>) * Release of "Compat" Version 28.1.2.1 This is a minor release adding the following changes: - Add =derived-mode-p= defined in Emacs 27 - Add =provided-mode-derived-p= defined in Emacs 27 - Add =read-multiple-choice= defined in Emacs 26 - Add =file-name-absolute-p= defined in Emacs 28 The only other notable change is that the manual has been rewritten to include much more documentation that had been the case previously. (Release <2022-08-24 Wed>) * Release of "Compat" Version 28.1.2.0 The main change of this release has been the major simplification of Compat's initialisation system, improving the situation around issues people had been reporting ([[compat:4]], once again) with unconventional or unpopular packaging systems. In addition to this, the following functional changes have been made: - Fix =format-prompt= of an empty string as "default" argument - Add =decoded-time-period= defined in Emacs 28 - Add =subr-primitive-p= defined in Emacs 28 Minor improvements to manual are also part of this release. (Release <2022-07-18 Mon>) * Release of "Compat" Version 28.1.1.3 This release just contains a hot-fix for an issue introduced in the last version, where compat.el raises an error during byte compilation. See [[compat:4]]. (Release <2022-06-19 Sun>) * Release of "Compat" Version 28.1.1.2 Two main changes have necessitated a new patch release: 1. Fix issues related to the loading of compat when uncompiled. See [[https://lists.sr.ht/~pkal/compat-devel/%3C20220530191000.2183047-1-jonas%40bernoul.li%3E][this thread]] for more details on the problem. 2. Fix issues related to the loading of compat on old pre-releases (think of 28.0.50). See [[https://lists.sr.ht/~pkal/compat-devel/%3Cf8635d7d-e233-448f-b325-9e850363241c%40www.fastmail.com%3E][this thread]] for more details on the problem. (Released <2022-06-22 Wed>) * Release of "Compat" Version 28.1.1.1 This is a minor release fixing a bug in =json-serialize=, that could cause unintended side-effects, not related to packages using Compat directly (see [[compat:2]]). (Released <2022-05-05 Thu>) * Release of "Compat" Version 28.1.1.0 This release mostly fixes a number of smaller bugs that were not identified as of 28.1.0.0. Nevertheless these warrent a version bump, as some of these changes a functional. These include: - The addition of the =file-attribute-*= accessor functions. - The addition of =file-attribute-collect=. - Improvements to the Texinfo manual (via Jonas Bernoulli's recent work on =ox-texinfo=). For the time being, the Texinfo file is maintained in the repository itself, next to the =MANUAL= file. This might change in the future. - Adding a prefix to =string-trim=, =string-trim-left= and =string-trim-right= (i.e. now =compat-string-trim=, =compat-string-trim-left= and =compat-string-trim-right=) - Improving the version inference used in the =compat-*= macros. This improves the compile-time optimisation that strips away functions that are known to be defined for a specific version. - The addition of generalised variable (=setf=) support for =compat-alist-get=. - The addition of =image-property= and generalised variable support for =image-property=. - The addition of the function =compat-executable-find=. - The addition of the function =compat-dired-get-marked-files=. - The addition of the function =exec-path=. - The addition of the function =make-lock-file-name=. - The addition of the function =null-device=. - The addition of the function =time-equal-p=. - The addition of the function =date-days-in-month=. - Handling out-of-directory byte compilation better. - Fixing the usage and edge-cases of =and-let*=. Furthermore a bug tracker was added: https://todo.sr.ht/~pkal/compat, which is the preferred way to report issues or feature requests. General problems, questions, etc. are still better discussed on the development mailing list: https://lists.sr.ht/~pkal/compat-devel. (Released <2022-04-22 Fri>)
