* 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.
