I just picked up a Windows binary (thanks, Lennart) of Emacs 23 built on 2008-05-29, and I see that icomplete.el has changed drastically. (None of my code works anymore with it.) Besides doing a diff, I went to NEWS to find some description of the changes. This is all I found by searching for "icomplete": ** Icomplete: `icomplete-prospects-height' supercedes `icomplete-prospects-length'. That doesn't really characterize the changes from either a Lisp or a user point of view, AFAICT. The code now uses an overlay instead of inserting the icomplete text, among other things. There seem to be quite a few changes. How can I see the changelogs for this file? I use the Web page interface to CVS, here: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/emacs/lisp/icomplete.el?view=log. Is this all there is as a record of the changes, or is there something else I can consult? The changes that break my code seem to have been made since 5/20, mostly by Stefan. Without a good description, I'll just plow my way through the code and diff, but I thought there might be a more substantial description of the changes somewhere.
