Recompile your .elc files! Recompile your .elc files! As of this beta, I automatically update the files .message and README in the root of the ftp site. This is part of the ongoing effort to have no web or ftp information get stale with new releases. Brief summary of changes to 21.2.41 "Polyhymnia" -- A very important fix to the byte-compiler was made. RE-BYTE-COMPILE all your .el files that were compiled by any older 21.2 byte-compiler (the 21.1 byte-compiler was OK.) Explicitly remove all .elc files using cd XEMACS; find . -name '*.elc' -print | xargs rm and then rebuild using `make'. -- Martin Buchholz -- More Windows installer changes -- Andy Piper -- Another tab widget fix -- Andy Piper -- pdump code cleanup -- Martin Buchholz -- lisp path changes -- Mike Sperber -- init file changes -- Mike Sperber -- debugging support works better with pdump -- Martin Buchholz -- Port to AIX cc -O3 -qansi-aliasing -- Martin Buchholz -- Allow building 64-bit binaries on AIX. -- Martin Buchholz -- Make code more resistant to aliasing optimizations. -- Martin Buchholz -- XEmacs now works on Netbsd 1.5. -- Martin Buchholz -- Eliminate kludgy checks for non-standard _dlopen -- Golubev I. N. -- Make Purify a little happier working on pdumped xemacs -- Martin Buchholz -- Fix never-used macro LISP_TO_CVOID -- Jerry James -------- ChangeLog entries from xemacs-21.2.41/lisp/ChangeLog ------- 2001-01-16 Mike Sperber <mike(a)xemacs.org&gt; * setup-paths.el (paths-core-load-path-depth): Stopgap bump to catch lisp/mule/. 2001-01-14 Mike Sperber <mike(a)xemacs.org&gt; * startup.el (maybe-create-compatibility-dot-emacs): (maybe-unmigrate-user-init-file): (unmigrate-user-init-file): Created.
