emacs 22 & planner: file mode spec. error

[Martin Steffen]

Hi

I just upgraded to emacs 22 (by ugrading to fedora core 7). Now I'm
using

GNU Emacs 22.0.990.1 (i386-koji-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.11) of
2007-05-23

What happened is that may planner set-up does no longer work. I am
using
planner 3.41, i.e., I upgraded also planner to avoid that the errors
are caused
by having an outdated version of that.


The error occurs not at start-up time, when loading the files, but
when typing

    M-x plan


for the first time. Ultimately, the error states:

----------------------
 File mode  specification error
    (wrong-type-argument symbolp (quote beginning-of-line))
----------------------

This error also occurs, I if visit manually ("find-file") one
of the old muse-files, part of my planner-project directory.

Has the file format for planner changed? Is there a
way to "save" the old plans, i.e. to migrate to emacs 22?

Any help welcome.

Cheers, Martin

This is a bug in the stable release of planner. It was fixed in the
development sources, but they have not made a new release yet. However,
you can download and install a snapshot tarball from
<http://www.mwolson.org/static/dist/planner-latest.tar.gz>. It is quite
stable and should work just fine.

something changed in emacs 22. I seem to remember seeing this about 8 months
ago. 

Did you also upgrade muse to the latest version? 

I'm using emacs 22 
(GNU Emacs 22.1.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.20) 
of 2007-05-19 on lion
muse 3.02.8
planner 3.41

with no problems or errors.
