gitlab main should have a version number of 8.3.x.

I would suggest doing a pull and then rerunning autoconf.  The
version is in configure.ac

A fix to the defun* issue has been merge.  However, there are
other warning that need to be fix.  I think most of the easy.

Good question.   My opinion would be ensuring it works with emacs 27
would be good, but we really have no data to go off of.  It might
be a wait and see what happens when people use it.

In the unlikely event that something be warning in an early
version, but not in 29, I wouldn't worry about it.


THANK YOU!
