It might well have been this change: commit 63dd1c6fa45357d312e1d3076e15adacf5ed6291 Author: Juri Linkov Date: Sun Sep 2 12:31:45 2012 +0300 Toggle whitespace matching mode with M-s SPC. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-09/msg00008.html > I can't find anything in the lisp/ChangeLog* files, which run through the start > of April. We have given up updating the ChangeLogs with each change, on the grounds that the information is in the git change log anyway. I think the idea is to generate the full ChangeLogs as part of the release process. > Was it installed after that? If so, how can I find out when?

You can then search within that (as I have just done). There will certainly also be a way of getting the log from inside Emacs. > -- > Dr Richard Stallman > President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) > Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) > Skype: No way!
