This behavior is analogous to `write-file'. + +** You can now use Auto Revert mode to `tail' a file. +If point is at the end of a file buffer before reverting, Auto Revert +mode keeps it at the end after reverting. Similarly if point is +displayed at the end of a file buffer in any window, it will stay at +the end of the buffer in that window. This allows to tail a file: +just put point at the end of the buffer and it will stay there. This +rule applies to file buffers. For non-file buffers, the behavior may +be mode dependent. + ** Auto Revert mode is now more careful to avoid excessive reverts and other potential problems when deciding which non-file buffers to revert. This matters especially if Global Auto Revert mode is enabled diff -r fc6e53c00fcf -r d8d0a55983fb lispref/ChangeLog --- a/lispref/ChangeLog Mon Apr 05 02:00:42 2004 +0000 +++ b/lispref/ChangeLog Mon Apr 05 02:09:28 2004 +0000 @@ -1,3 +1,12 @@ +2004-04-04 Luc Teirlinck + + * backups.texi: Various small changes in addition to: + (Making Backups): Mention return value of `backup-buffer'. + (Auto-Saving): Mention optional FORCE argument to + `delete-auto-save-file-if-necessary'. + (Reverting): Mention optional PRESERVE-MODES argument to + `revert-buffer'.
