Release of "Compat" Version 28.1.1.0 1 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>. (Released <2022-04-22 Fri>)
