At first glance, I see the following problems: * I don't understand the changes because there is no ChangeLog history. * I don't know what the new features are because there is no documentation. * It appears that the new FSF address has been replaced with the old one. * RCS keywords have been introduced. * I've done cvs -Rd update and make bootstrap but with info the speedbar doesn't show any nodes (I get the error message DFRAME TIMER ERROR: (void-variable speedbar-attached-frame)) * With gdb-ui.el I get (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) because speedbar-check-read-only in speedbar-stealthy-function-list calls speedbar-line-file but there are no associated files, only variable values in the speedbar.
