Hello, XEmacs developers! This is a note to let you know that I at last have released a new version of CC Mode, 5.30. This release has extensive changes, and some of them affect the interaction with other packages: o CC Mode now contains the font lock support for its languages. This means that the corresponding patterns in the core font-lock package should be phased out. It also means that the font locking is different in various details for most languages, since it's now unified across all of them (except AWK). o CC Mode provides AWK support written by Alan Mackenzie. The old awk-mode.el should be removed. It was derived from CC Mode and no longer works well with it. o There has been internal changes which might break derived modes. There is however a new variable system that is designed to make it possible to write derived modes without getting too hard dependencies on the internal workings of CC Mode. See <http://cc-mode.sourceforge.net/changes-530.php> and <http://cc-mode.sourceforge.net/changes-529.php> for all the details. Needless to say, incorporating this release will probably stir things up a little, so it might be better to wait if you're close to a release. I have CVS access and can make the necessary changes if you confirm that it's ok. (I can get started on it in a little over a week, though; I'm on vacation next week.)
