Tramp 2.0.36 released. * net/tramp.el (tramp-default-password-end-of-line): Renamed from tramp-password-end-of-line. (tramp-password-end-of-line): New method parameter. (tramp-get-password-end-of-line): Function to access method parameter `tramp-password-end-of-line', or variable `tramp-default-password-end-of-line' (default value). (tramp-methods): Add entries for new parameter tramp-password-end-of-line. (tramp-enter-password): Use new function `tramp-get-password-end-of-line'. (tramp-handle-insert-file-contents): Do not unconditionally inhibit the file operation file-local-copy, only do that when the inhibit-file-name-operation is currently insert-file-contents. This fixes finding remote CVS-controlled files. (It would barf on inserting the CVS/Entries file literally, because the file-local-copy handler wasn't called.) (tramp-handle-shell-command): Support optional third arg ERROR-BUFFER. (tramp-sh-extra-args): Adapt defcustom type to XEmacs. (tramp-initial-commands): New variable. (tramp-process-initial-commands): New function, using the variable. (tramp-open-connection-setup-interactive-shell): Call the new function. (tramp-buffer-name, tramp-debug-buffer-name): Always put the method into the buffer name, never use nil. Reported by Hanak David <[e-mail]>. (tramp-open-connection-setup-interactive-shell): Erase buffer before sending "stty -onlcr". * net/tramp-vc.el (vc-workfile-unchanged-p): Add comment.

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'.
