(wdired-change-to-wdired-mode, wdired-finish-edit) (wdired-search-and-rename): Simplify code. (wdired-preprocess-files, wdired-preprocess-perms): Make read-only property of preceding character rear-nonsticky to avoid that it can be modified. Put old-name and old-link properties on character preceding name and replace put-text-property by add-text-properties. (wdired-get-filename, wdired-get-previous-link): Get old-name and old-link properties from character preceding name and simplify code. (wdired-preprocess-perms, wdired-set-bit, wdired-toggle-bit) (wdired-perms-to-number): Make local-map property rear-nonsticky to avoid that text following permissions may be modified. Use add-text-properties instead of put-text-property when changing a permission bit. (wdired-change-to-dired-mode): Remove stickiness properties.

There is a new pretest available in

  <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$NEW.tar.gz>

Please report results from compiling and running the pretest to
<[e-mail]>.  Your feedback is necessary for us
to know on which platforms the pretest has been tried.

If you have the tars from the previous pretest, and you have the
\`xdelta' utility, you can instead download the much smaller

  <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$OLD-$NEW.xdelta>

You can use a command like

  $ xdelta patch XDELTA PREVIOUS-TAR CURRENT-TAR

to generate the new tar from the old one, where XDELTA is the xdelta
file you downloaded, PREVIOUS-TAR is the tar file from the previous
pretest, and CURRENT-TAR is the name of the tar file you downloaded.

Information about xdelta can be found on the GNU ftp site, in
/non-gnu/xdelta.README.
