Greeting for all.
Here is a version emacs-18.59-r15 in repo gentoo, I'm a little curious
about it.Does this version have some special meaning for gentoo? Or,
just because there are someone insist to offer maintenance for this
version?
I don't know, but seeing that version-number is certainly a trip down
memory lane. I'm guessing that's the last version before
internationalization (8-bit printable characters, asian byte-sequences
etc.) got shoe-horned into emacs. I'm further guessing that some people
saw fit to keep it for that reason. The first ten years after that were
certainly confusing and aggravating. These days, with UTF, I haven't
though about it for a long time.
