Re: Need some bug/version info

rigid, anyway, so I'd like to remove the workaround. This

a) making sure that indeed the current code base of XEmacs will load
image files without conversions (character set _and_ line endings) on
both MULE and non-MULE XEmacsen.
b) it would be _very_ nice to know just _what_ version of XEmacs
started doing this correctly so that we can mention it in the
installation prerequisites and dependencies.
If anybody can get a hold on this information, I'd be pretty glad.
The workaround appeared in preview-latex with the following ChangeLog
entry, so I expect that at a similar time an XEmacs fix, _if_ there
has been a fix, would have been concocted.
revision 1.38
date: 2002/04/16 23:35:28; author: nixsf; state: Exp; lines: +19 -5
(preview-create-icon): Cater for file-handlers (as in dired) forcing
coding-system autodetection at glyph-instantiation time if the glyph must
be read from a file; read it by hand.
Thanks for any input you can give me on that. For one thing, I'd like
the version info to be correct, and for another, of course I want to
know if this bug _really_ is gone.
Ok, so it would appear that the next release announcement should
essentially have to contain something like:
Since at the current point of time no XEmacs developer can be
interested enough in preview-latex to even answer questions, the
versions of XEmacs for which preview-latex might work can't be
determined. We currently try to keep the XEmacs port working to
the best of our knowledge; however, if your work depends on
preview-latex, you should consider switching to Emacs where we
have responsive users, testers, and developers.
