I'm gradually synchronizing unicode branch with the trunk by the method Stephen taught me (i.e. moving emacs-unicode-2-base tag), but the progress is slow. > Even Handa-san says he is in favour of not merging unicode before we > have made a major release from trunk. Yes, but, what do you mean by "major release"? I thought releasing from the trunk with the version number 21.5 (or 21.4) is a "minor release" because it changes only the minor version. --- Ken'ichi HANDA handa@m17n.org
