I just got a bug report for my Dired+ code, because of a recent change to files.el for the regexp `dired-move-to-filename-regexp'. I have a fix that takes the new regexp into account, but I need to test for the Emacs version that has the new regexp (since I support multiple versions). The person who filed the bug report has GNU Emacs version 24.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.16.6)... He says he just updated from BZR. But I thought the next release would be Emacs 23.2, not 24. What is the proper test (or a reasonable test) to use in the code, for this change? It's OK if I don't support the change until the release is out. It's the test for the official release I'm most interested in. (But I'm also interested in advice about testing against an in-development version.) Thx.
