For those users who live backwards in time, here is
information about downgrading to Emacs version 19.28. We hope you
will enjoy the greater simplicity that results from the absence
of certain Emacs 19.29 features.
- This version doesn't support Windows NT, or the DEC
Alpha.
- There is no support for editing formatted text. The text formatter TeX does
a much better job of formatting than any formatted text editor; we
recommend you learn to use it.
- C-Mouse-2 now runs the menu for setting the
default font.
- F1 is no longer an alias for the Help key; you
must actually type C-h if you want help.
- Integers and buffer
sizes are limited to 24 bits on most machines. But as
memory gets more expensive, you won't want to edit such
large files any more.
- There are no indirect buffers, so you can only display
one view of an outline. Meanwhile, the prefix key for
Outline minor mode is now C-c C-o.
- When you are in Transient Mark
mode, incremental search always deactivates the mark.
- Dynamic abbrev completion has been
eliminated in 19.28, and some of the other dynamic abbrev customization features
are also gone.
- In Dired, Occur mode, Compilation mode, and
other such modes, you must use C-c C-c to
select the item point
is on. RET won't do it.
- M-x buffer-menu
now displays the menu buffer
in another window.
- The VC (version control) package no longer supports CVS
or selecting branches
other than the principal branch.
- There is no
recover-session command; if Emacs
crashes, you simply have to remember which files you were
editing before the crash, and use recover-file
on the individual files.
- In Emacs Lisp mode, C-M-x now lets
defvar
operate as it usually does---setting the value of the variable only if it has
no value yet. Use ESC ESC to
evaluate a Lisp expression, instead of M-:.
- GNU-standard long option
names are not supported. (Real hackers prefer the shorter
single-dash names, to save typing.) All the initial
options must come before all the action options, and
whatever initial options you use must appear in this
order: -t, -d, -nw, -batch, -q
or -no-init-file, -no-site-file, -u
or -user, -debug-init.
