Version History

See also the user visible changes for 5.31.

This version contains few, but big, new features, and significant internal improvements.

• CC Mode is now licensed under the GPL version 3 or any later version.

• Emacs 21 is no longer supported, although CC Mode might well still work with it.
  The minimum versions supported are Emacs 22 and XEmacs 21.4.

• It is now possible for CC Mode to "guess" an existing buffer's style.
  This style can then be used in other buffers. Contributed by Masatake YAMATO, after original code by Barry Warsaw.

• Java Mode has been enhanced to support Java 5.0 (Tiger) and Java 6 (Mustang).
  Contributed by Nathaniel Flath.

• c-beginning-of-defun and c-end-of-defun now respect nested scopes.
  Thus C-M-a will, by default, go to the beginning of the immediate function, not the top level.

• "Macros with semicolons" can be registered, for correct indentation.
  Where such a macro ends a line (no semicolon), the next statement is no longer parsed as a statement continuation.

• Many bugs have been fixed, font locking has become more accurate, angle brackets are better handled, and sluggish code has been optimised.
