Version 2.0.35 of Tramp released. * net/tramp.el (tramp-password-end-of-line): Use "xy" with plink. (tramp-completion-function-alist): Add completion function for "remcp", "remsh" and "plink1". Factor out the `regular' file name handling via a remote shell of some sort into a specific function. Intent is to later put that part of Tramp into a special file, so that the Tramp `core' is just a dispatcher that dispatches to various handlers. (tramp-sh-file-name-handler): New function. (tramp-foreign-file-name-handler-alist): New default value. Call tramp-sh-file-name-handler as default case. (tramp-file-name-handler): Do not invoke the old remote-shell handler. (tramp-find-foreign-file-name-handler): Return after first match is found. From Francis Litterio <[e-mail]>. (tramp-handle-file-newer-than-file-p): `tramp-time-diff' returns integer, not list. Do not apply `car' to the return value of `tramp-time-diff'. Reported by David D. Smith <[e-mail]>. (tramp-time-diff): Convert return value of subtract-time to a number of seconds in a correct manner, by applying float-time or time-to-seconds. Also correct compat code accordingly. The XEmacs branch for itimer-time-difference didn't need correction, it returned a float already. Reported by David D. Smith <[e-mail]>. (tramp-handle-insert-file-contents): When calling `file-local-copy', let-bind `inhibit-file-name-operation' accordingly. This makes sure that jka-compr is not called when `insert-file-contents-literally' is invoked. From Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]>. (tramp-do-copy-or-rename-via-buffer): Avoid calling jka-compr when writing the target file. (tramp-foreign-file-name-handler-alist): Add comment about default value having to come last. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy, tramp-handle-write-region): Add the "-p" hack. (tramp-handle-copy-file): Set file modes of target file. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy) (tramp-do-copy-or-rename-via-buffer): Use binary coding system, instead of no-conversion. They are the same on Emacs but different on XEmacs. (tramp-shell-prompt-pattern): Allow multiple escape sequences (each with optional trailing space). * net/tramp-uu.el: * net/tramp-util.el: * net/tramp-efs.el: Use iso-2022-7bit encoding with coding cookie for XEmacs compatibility.

README for Edition 2.8 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
texinfo.tex.

* Report Lisp Manual bugs to [e-mail].  We don't read
these bug reports until it's time for a new edition.  To report other
Emacs bugs, use [e-mail].  To ask questions, use the
newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.

* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
980 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost
2.5 megabytes.

* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
using TeX.

* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
For info, send mail to [e-mail] or phone [phone].  Buying a
manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
development work.

** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:

** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
manual is included in this distribution.

The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
`elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
@titlespec command.

To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
commands in the shell:

% ./configure
% make index.texi
% make elisp.dvi

*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
with `make-permuted-index'.

** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
`./configure' and `make info'.  To install the Info files, run
`make install'.
