Emacs package "X-Symbol": Changes + Distribution

Version 3.3h (package 1.14) (17 Dec 2001) of package X-Symbol requires XEmacs-20.3 or higher, with or without Mule support. I strongly recommend to upgrade to XEmacs-21.1.9 or higher (XEmacs-21.0 to XEmacs-21.1.8 crashes sometimes).

Users should use the binary package (yes, users of XEmacs-20, too). If you do not know how to install binary packages, read the installation section in the manual. Developers might want to use the source package.

The newest Beta Version of package X-Symbol also work with Emacs.

I recommend to use the following versions:
The newest beta ...if you are quite familiar with Emacs/XEmacs (including a basic knowledge of Emacs Lisp), and if you want to contribute to the development of package X-Symbol (which includes just using the beta version).
The newest (non-beta) ...before contacting the maintainer. Please make sure to use Menu Item "X-Symbol -> Commands -> Send Bug/Problem Report".
Version 3.3f or higher ...if you use `global-flyspell-mode' (removed in flyspell-1.5a).
Version 3.3e or higher ...for more characters.
Version 3.3 or higher ...in any case.

Version 2.6 should be used with XEmacs-19.13 to XEmacs-19.16/20.2. I only make changes to this version (including its documents) if it has a non-trivial bug.

You might want to try my font-lock patterns for LaTeX, HTML and TeXinfo with var-width fonts and multi-line highlighting (Version 2.3, 25 Jan 1999). Please note that font-locking is a matter of taste, see the commentary.

The changes are (detailed ChangeLog file):
