We have been through this already. The major features are unicode-2 and multi-tty support. There are some updates from external packages like tramp that have been held back from the code base, but nothing really Earth-shattering. It sounds like a month of merging should get us through the worst, and then not too much cleaning up should be necessary: the branches we are talking about are in active use. That is the exact decision why we have already agreed _not_ to merge the bidi branch at that time. Even though it obviously forms a logical complement to unicode-2, its state of maturity is not comparable. Can we just concentrate on Emacs 22 before going bonkers over Emacs 23 _again_? -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
