That sounds weird when encountered in the 21.4 release, so one would need to edit this _again_ after 21.4 has been released (do a s/21\.4/22.1/g on this posting so that it makes sense). And actually, it still contains the same grammatical offender, only masked in alternatives. > Or "FOO is an obsolete function (marked obsolete in Emacs 21.4)". "FOO is an obsolete function and has been obsolete since 21.4." Uh, same problem as with your initial proposal: sounds weird in 21.4 itself. How about: "FOO is an obsolete function in version 21.4 and later." -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
