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.
