 Feature request: allow customize-changed-options to work with package
 versions
Date: Tue, 08 May 2018 01:52:59 +0100


customize-changed-options displays all the defcustoms whose value has
changed since a given emacs version.  In the age of ELPA, it is possible
for a package to change versions without the emacs version changing
(i.e. when the user downloads new updates from ELPA).  It would be nice
if customize-changed-options could cope with showing the changed
defcustoms for that case too.

Hm...  I don't think there's a way to do that, really.  ELPA packages
don't tag to Emacs :versions, I think?  I mean, not usually.  So I'm
closing this as a wontfix, but if anybody disagrees, please reopen.

But running M-x customize-changed-options revealed a bug in a custom
spec, at least, which I think I've fixed now.  :-)
