Features 1 Next Version ══════════════ /Work in progress./ 2 1.4.0 ═══════ I should have released minor versions for bug fixes, but it seems everyone is using the `master' branch from MELPA, and so am I. So major only it is. I will release a minor version if a severe issue is found of course. 2.1 Features ──────────── • `rfc-mode-read' now supports a numeric prefix argument, so you can simply type `C-u 1 2 3 4 M-x rfc-mode-read' to read RFC number 1234. Also, if you call `rfc-mode-read' when point is on a number, you will be offered that number as default. Thanks to Daniel Martín. • `rfc-mode-goto-section' now makes sure the title of the section is at the top of the page, avoiding annoying edge cases where a section is at the end of a page (thanks to Štěpán Němec). 2.2 Misc ──────── • Make the dependency on Helm optional (thanks to Jonas Bernoulli). • Code cleaning and simplifications (thanks to Stefan Monnier, Jonas Bernoulli and Basil L. Contovounesios). 3 1.3.0 ═══════ This release improves navigation and introduce section detection, thanks to Daniel Martín. 3.1 Features ──────────── • `imenu' integration. If you use a graphical user interface, the menu bar will show a new menu, "RFC Contents", with links to the different parts of an RFC document. • RFC links can now be navigated using the mouse, or by pressing `<Tab>~/~<S-Tab>'. • Pressing `g' in a `rfc-mode' buffer lets you navigate to an RFC section by name. • You can navigate to previous and next RFC sections by pressing `p' and `n', respectively. 3.2 Misc ──────── • Derive `rfc-mode' from `special-mode'. • Make `rfc-mode-read' display the document in a separate window, without switching buffers. This follows the typical Emacs convention for displaying help buffers, like `help-mode' or `man-mode' follow. 4 1.2.0 ═══════ This new release is driven by suggestions from Stefan Monnier and some issues which were open on Github. Thanks everyone! 4.1 Features ──────────── • Let the module load without Helm since some features can be used without it. • Auto load `rfc-mode-read'. • Improved accuracy for section title detection. • Offer the possibility to keep original buffer names with `rfc-mode-use-original-buffer-names'. 4.2 Fixes ───────── • Compute the index path dynamically so that `rfc-mode-directory' can be modified after the module has been loaded. 4.3 Misc ──────── • Follow Emacs conventions in docstrings. • Derive `rfc-mode' from `text-mode'. • Use `expand-file-name' instead of `concat'. 5 1.1.1 ═══════ 5.1 Features ──────────── • Automatically download missing files. 6 1.1.0 ═══════ 6.1 Fixes ───────── • Require missing modules. • Fix invalid escape sequence. 6.2 Misc ──────── • Make some functions private. 7 1.0.1 ═══════ 7.0.1 Fixes ╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌ • Various fixes for checkdoc. 8 1.0.0 ═══════ First public version. 8.1 Features ──────────── • Helm-based RFC browser. • RFC document reader with highlighting.
