2003-11-30 Kai Grossjohann <[e-mail]> Tramp version 2.0.38 released. * tramp.texi (Remote shell setup): Warn of environment variables FRUMPLE if user frumple exists. Suggested by Sven Gabriel <[e-mail]>. (Configuration): Tramp now chooses base64/uuencode automatically. Update wording accordingly. (Top): More description for the `Default Method' menu entry. (Default Method): Use @code, not @var, for Lisp variables. (Default Method): New subsection `Which method is the right one for me?' Suggested by Christian Kirsch. (Configuration): Pointer to new subsection added. (Default Method): Too many "use" in one sentence. Rephrase. Reported by Christian Kirsch. (Filename Syntax): Old `su' example is probably a left-over from the sm/su method naming. Replace with `ssh', instead. (External transfer methods, Auto-save and Backup): Typo fixes. 2003-11-02 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * tramp.texi (all): Harmonize all occurences of @tramp{}. (Top): Mention japanese manual only if flag `jamanual' is set. Insert section `Japanese manual' in menu.

There is a new pretest available in

  <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-$NEW.tar.gz>
  <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/leim-$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.
Please say whether you built with LEIM or not.

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