I saw the the news that emacs 23.1 was released.
For a programmer, What are the big reasons to upgrade? I’m currently on 22.2.
None of the features listed really seem like must-haves for me. The most immediately interesting bit is that nXML is now integrated. I already have it though.
But I have to admit I don’t know what is really behind “smarter minibuffer completion” or “per buffer text scaling”.
Anyone have any tips or examples of what these things are?
For me, the biggest reason is the support for anti-aliased fonts. And the –daemon support is nice.
Emacs-fu has a nice write-up of some of the features.
