Has anyone looked into the 21.0 TTY-related show-stopper that I
reported earlier? I tried to look into it, but I am still baffled by
most of the redisplay code.
The problem is that, when you split the frame, the whole frame
redisplays whenever you do anything with the minibuffer. Try
`C-x 2' followed by `M-: t RET'. Under X, it is merely annoying.
Under TTY's, it's a show-stopper, if we care about TTY users at all.
I can't duplicate this because I get something far, far worse. :-(
$ src/xemacs -vanilla -nw
Fatal error (11).

Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.

Consider the release on hold. (Dang it!)

I don't see this under cygwin. I see the redisplay thing but I hardly think
its a showstopper.

Me either. I had to work pretty hard to notice the bug. So you
get a full screen refresh when you hit RET in the minibuffer---
it needs to be fixed certainly, but it doesn't need to be fixed
today. Add it to the pile for 21.1.

The last release was almost a year ago. If there's even the most
remote chance that the next release could be current for anywhere near
as long, I think that leaving this bug in would be unwise.
I don't think that I get quite as slow as Soren's 1200 baud, but it's
not uncommon for me to telnet to my home machine from work. Between
the slowness of our firewall and the high probability that I'm
competing with my daughter for bandwidth on the home modem, the
connection speed is often pretty slow. Unneeded repaints are the most
annoying thing around when using a slow connection.

21.1 will ship a few months after 21.0 if I have anything to do with it. If
it doesn't there's hardly any point in shipping it at all.

Steve,
You're the boss, but for my £0.02 I say ship it. If we don't ship it now it
will be another 6 months more than likely. 21.0 is not perfect but I hope
no one expected it to be. I think its good enough to ship (much better than
in July) and we can make it perfect in 21.1. If we're going to put 21.1 out
in a couple of months anyway I say ship 21.0 and 21.1 a couple of months
later rather than 21.0 a couple of months later.
