Release of CC Mode version 5.33

Release of CC Mode version 5.33

[Alan Mackenzie]

Hello, Emacs.

The following announcement is purely formal - all changes in the newly
released CC Mode 5.33 have already been incorporated into the Emacs
master branch.  However, users of the upcoming 25.1 release may well
benefit from CC Mode 5.33, due, in particular, to its (near) complete
coverage of C++11 features.

Release Announcement
CC Mode Version 5.33
Alan Mackenzie

This message announces the availability of a new version of CC Mode,
an Emacs and XEmacs mode for editing C (ANSI and K&R), C++,
Objective-C, Java, CORBA's IDL, Pike and AWK code.

A list of user visible changes is detailed in the NEWS file and in the
URL listed below.  More information, including links to download the
source, are available on the CC Mode web page:

Hello Alan,

is it intentional that "M-x c-version" in emacs 25.1 RC2 also reports
CC Mode version 5.33, even though the CC Mode shipped with Emcas 25.1
is older and does not include the C++11 changes, for example?

Cheers
Bastian

Oh, what an idiot I am!  No, it wasn't intentional, I'd completely
forgotten about Emacs 25.1.  :-(  It's too late to change either number,
now.

However, the main thing is that version numbers are mainly for bug
reporting, and if (more likely, when) bug reports for CC Mode come in
from Emacs 25.1, I can assume they're from its own version of CC Mode,
and then check later when that's not the case.

I can see myself releasing 5.33.1 fairly soon, anyway, so hopefully that
will take some of the strain away from the version number mixup.

Thanks for telling me about this.
