(ftfont_pattern_entity): Argument FRAME removed. Make a font-entity by font_make_entity. Use font_intern_prop instead of intern_downcase. Use FONT_SET_STYLE to set a style-related font property. If a font is scalable, set avgwidth property to 0. Set font-entity property by font_put_extra. (ftfont_list_generic_family): Argument SPEC and REGISTRY removed. (ffont_driver): Adjusted for the change of struct font_driver. (ftfont_spec_pattern): New function. (ftfont_list): Return a list, not vector. (ftfont_match): Use ftfont_spec_pattern to get a pattern. (ftfont_list_family): Don't downcase names. (ftfont_free_entity): Deleted. (ftfont_open): Return a font-ojbect. Adjusted for the change of struct font. Get underline_thickness and underline_position from font property. Don't update dpyinfo->smallest_font_height and dpyinfo->smallest_char_width. (ftfont_close): Don't free `struct font'. (ftfont_has_char): Adjusted for the format change of font-entity. (ftfont_encode_char, ftfont_text_extents): Likewise.

Subject: M-x search-backward-in-time broken...
X-Windows: you'll envy the dead.

In GNU Emacs 51.70.4 (i9986-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of Sat Feb  20 2199 on floss
configured using `configure  --with-x-toolkit=yes'

        The `search-backward-in-time' function appears to be broken in
Emacs 51.70.

        Unfortunately, I can never seem to start the debugger early
enough to catch the error as it happens.  However I have traced the
problem through source by eye, and it looks like `time-forward' can't
handle negative arguments anymore.  This is consistent with other
symptoms: for example, `undo' (which since 51.25 has worked by passing
a negative arg to `time-forward') is also broken.  However, `do' still
works -- it seems that `time-forward' continues to handle positive
arguments just fine.

        No one here-and-now can figure out how to fix the problem,
because the code for `time-forward' is so hairy.  We're using M-x
report-future-emacs-bug to request that you folks include more
comments when you write it (sometime in 2198 as I recall).

        Thanks!

P.S. You'll be pleased to know that since (time-forward N) still works
     for N >= 0, we've used it to pre-emptively update configure.in.
     Emacs now configures and builds on every platform that will ever
     be made.  It wasn't easy, but at least that's one problem out of
     the way for good.  If you'd like the patch, just ask.
