A Gnus bug was caused by a problem with `split-string'.
Emacs 21.2:
(split-string ":foo:bar" ":")
=> ("foo" "bar")
Emacs CVS:
(split-string ":foo:bar" ":")
=> ("" "foo" "bar")
There is no NEWS entry for this change, although it seems important
enough to warrant one.
Is this a bug in Emacs CVS or a feature that lack a NEWS entry?
The docstring for the function has been changed.
Emacs 21.2:
If there is match for SEPARATORS at the beginning of STRING, we do not
include a null substring for that. Likewise, if there is a match
at the end of STRING, we don't include a null substring for that.
Emacs CVS:
The beginning and end of STRING, and each match for SEPARATORS, are
splitting points. The substrings matching SEPARATORS are removed, and
the substrings between the splitting points are collected as a list,
which is returned.
I suggest adding the following to NEWS:
*** The function `split-string' now include a null substring when
there is a SEPARATOR at the beginning or end of STRING.

The latter.

The actual behavior is somewhat more complicated. I have added a NEWS
entry.
Sincerely,
Luc.
