It was redesigned in 2001, but it was last released just a few weeks ago, with Emacs 21.4. > No matter _what_ we will release next, it will have significant > changes all over the board.

Unless I miss a lot of changes, I don't see how the current CVS is ``completely dissimilar'' to v21.4 as far as the menu bar is concerned. The changes are quite small. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
