What about between v3 and v4 ? What is the relevance of all of it anyway. It's merely psychological and not even very strongly felt by anyone anyway. To me (and many other people I know), the differences between v19 and v21 are not that significant since I don't use anything else than latin-1 and my bufffers are 99.9% filled with the same misc-fixed-semicondensed. The jump from 19.28 to 19.29 was more significant to me in some regards. > If we follow this, v22 should be the Unicode-based Emacs, not some > intermediate release. Again, I don't see any reason why this should be so. If it's more convenient to name the current trunk 22.0, then I think it should be done. Stefan
