1 to 21.5.11 "cabbage"
2
3 Lots of improvements and fixes this time around. One of our key
4 players, Ben Wing, has drastically improved font-locking (go turn on
5 lazy-lock to check it out). Apart from many other bug fixes, Ben
6 has also given us a speed up to the build process (--quick-build
7 configure option).
8
9 Other stars we should mention are: Mike Sperber, for window
10 configuration fixes and updates; Stephen Turnbull for build fixes,
11 documentation and typo fixes. Stephen also gave us some major updates
12 to autoload.el and wid-edit.el. And also Jerry James with some more
13 DSO updates.
