Now it also offers a thir file literally, as in 'find-file-literally', which speeds up navigation and editing of large files. ++++ +** Files can be visited asynchronously. +If the new user option 'execute-file-commands-asynchronously' has a +non-nil value, interactive file visiting commands load the file +asynchronously into the respective buffer. I.e., Emacs is still +responsive while loading the files, which is useful especially for +remote files. If the value is a regular expression, files matching +this expression are loaded asynchronously. See the node "(emacs) +Visiting" in the user manual for the supported commands. + + --- + ** add-dir-local-variable now uses dotted pair notation syntax + to write alists of variables to .dir-locals.el.
