Add -DUSE_LISP_UNION_TYPE if you want union types. * Changes in Emacs 21.4 +** Auto Revert mode is now more careful to avoid excessive reverts and +other potential problems when deciding which non-file buffers to +revert. This matters especially if Global Auto Revert mode is enabled +and `global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers' is non-nil. Auto Revert +mode will only revert a non-file buffer if the buffer has a non-nil +`revert-buffer-function' and a non-nil `buffer-stale-function', which +decides whether the buffer should be reverted. Currently, this means +that auto reverting works for Dired buffers (although this may not +work properly on all operating systems) and for the Buffer Menu. + +** If the new user option `auto-revert-check-vc-info' is non-nil, Auto +Revert mode reliably updates version control info (such as the version +control number in the mode line), in all version controlled buffers in +which it is active. If the option is nil, the default, then this info +only gets updated whenever the buffer gets reverted. + +** New command `Buffer-menu-toggle-files-only' toggles display of file +buffers only in the Buffer Menu. It is bound to `T' in Buffer Menu +mode. + ** The URL package is now part of Emacs. ** M-x compile has become more robust and reliable -- 2.39.5
