In current CVS, it does via mode-require-final-newline. Is there a reason for that? I don't remember the reason, but I remember there was one. I think that specific point was discussed in this list a few months ago. Actually, the decision to replace the old _way_ to override the default value of `require-final-newline' with a new one based on `mode-require-final-newline' was made a few months ago. Maybe I caused confusion by mentioning `mode-require-final-newline'. I was not asking about the _implementation change_. The real question I wanted to ask was: In Emacs 21.3, Text mode did not override the default value of require-final-newline. In current CVS, it does. Is there a reason for that? Here, the relevant change was made more than two years ago: 2002-09-02 Stefan Monnier * textmodes/text-mode.el (paragraph-indent-text-mode-abbrev-table) (paragraph-indent-text-mode-syntax-table, paragraph-indent-text-mode): Use text-mode's syntax-table and abbrev-table. (text-mode): Set require-final-newline to t. Sincerely, Luc.
