Well its not in Emacs 21.2. I don't have 21.1 but I doubt that it has it. Looking at the ChangeLog it seems to have just missed the branch from which 21.2 and 21.3 were also released. 2001-10-20 Gerd Moellmann * (Version 21.1 released.) ... 2001-10-04 Gerd Moellmann ... (Fdefvaralias): New function. ... 2001-10-04 Gerd Moellmann * Branch for 21.1. So at three and a half, defvaralias must be about the oldest feature still in CVS! > It does have an entry in NEWS under "Lisp Changes in Emacs 22.1", tho. > I wonder why it was put there. Maybe because it wasn't mentioned in > NEWS for 21.1? We better mention explicitly that it isn't really new > for 22.1, in that case. I think the NEWS entry is correct. Nick
