1.1 Overview
============
The objective of Compat is to provide "forwards compatibility" library
for Emacs Lisp. That is to say by using Compat, an Elisp package does
not have to make the decision to either use new and useful functionality
or support old versions of Emacs.
Version 24.3 is chosen as the oldest version, because this is the
newest version on CentOS 7. It is intended to preserve compatibility
for at least as the Centos 7 reaches EOL
(https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product), 2024.
If you are developing a package with Compat in mind, consider loading
‘compat-help‘ (on your system, not in a package) to get relevant notes
inserted into the help buffers of functions that are implemented or
advised in Compat.
Note that Compat provides a few prefixed function, ie. functions
with a ‘compat-’ prefix. These are used to provide extended
functionality for commands that are already defined (‘sort’, ‘assoc’,
‘seq’, ...). It might be possible to transform these into advised
functions later on, so that the modified functionality is accessible
without a prefix. Feedback on this point is appreciated.

File: compat.info, Node: Usage, Next: Intentions, Prev: Overview, Up: Introduction
1.2 Usage
=========
The intended use-case for this library is for package developers to add
as a dependency in the header:
;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24.3") (compat "28.1.1.0"))
and later on a
(require 'compat)
This will load all non-prefixed definitions (functions and macros
with a leading ‘compat-‘). To load these, an additional
(require 'compat-XY) ; e.g. 26
will be necessary, to load compatibility code for Emacs version XY.
It is recommended to subscribe to the compat-announce
(https://lists.sr.ht/~pkal/compat-announce) mailing list to be notified
when new versions are released or relevant changes are made.

1.2.1 Additional libraries
--------------------------
These libraries are packages with Compat, but are disabled by default.
To use them you can use ‘M-x load-library’:
compat-help
Add notes to ‘*Help*’ buffer, if a compatibility definition has
something to warn you about.
compat-font-lock
Highlight functions that are implemented as compatibility
definitions.

File: compat.info, Node: Intentions, Prev: Usage, Up: Introduction
1.3 Intentions
==============
The library intends to provide support back until Emacs 24.3. The
intended audience are package developers that are interested in using
newer developments, without having to break compatibility.
Sadly, total backwards compatibility cannot be provided for technical
reasons. These might include:
• An existing function or macro was extended by some new
functionality. To support these cases, the function or macro would
have to be advised. As this is usually regarded as invasive and is
shown to be a significant overhead, even when the new feature is
not used, this approach is not used.
As a compromise, prefixed functions and macros (starting with a
‘compat-’ prefix) can be provided.
• New functionality was implemented in the core, and depends on
external libraries that cannot be reasonably duplicated in the
scope of a compatibility library.
• New functionality depends on an entire new, non-trivial library.
Sometimes these are provided via ELPA (xref, project, ...), but
other times it would be infeasible to duplicate an entire library
within Compat while also providing the necessary backwards
compatibility.
• It just wasn’t added, and there is no good reason (though good
excuses might exist). If you happen to find such a function, *note
reporting: Development. it would be much appreciated.
Always begin by assuming that this might be the case, unless proven
otherwise.

*************
Compat is developed on SourceHut (https://sr.ht/~pkal/compat). A
restricted GitHub mirror (https://github.com/phikal/compat.el) is also
maintained.
Patches and comments can be sent to the development mailing list
(https://lists.sr.ht/~pkal/compat-devel) (~pkal/compat-devel@lists.sr.ht
<~pkal/compat-devel@lists.sr.ht>). Bug reports are best sent to the
issue tracker (https://todo.sr.ht/~pkal/compat) (~pkal/compat@todo.sr.ht
<~pkal/compat@todo.sr.ht>). The GitHub mirror can also be used to
submit patches. These may include issues in the compatibility code,
missing definitions or performance issues.
Please note that as a GNU ELPA package, Compat requires contributors
to have signed the FSF copyright assignment
(https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Copyright-Assignment.html),
before any non-trivial contribution (roughly 15 lines of code) can be
applied.
