You rejected multi-mode before, but I can't remember the details. Perhaps it was that there was supposed to be a feature freeze, though there clearly wasn't. multi-mode isn't ideal, and probably could use support elsewhere in Emacs, but I hoped it would go in so that people would try it and address the issues. I don't know what your criteria are for installation, or what you mean by `the release'. The encryption code works for what I needed. However, you've installed different encryption stuff I don't understand in allout. That wouldn't run and I don't understand why such a facility is (just) going into something which uses the obsolete selective display. I guess function-arity is correct in the development codebase, but a lot has broken elsewhere and maybe it isn't actually right now. I wasn't expecting any of this to be used, but I wanted to avoid people wasting time doing the same as I had. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
