Full log
Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
The NEWS item is woefully incomplete. It doesn't explain much of
anything about the selection changes for Emacs 24 - and they are
radical changes.
Among other things, NEWS should detail the differences from the
previous behavior, and explain clearly how to return to the
previous behavior (exactly, completely).
It is not enough to just give one-liners for a few variables,
such as "`x-select-enable-primary' now defaults to nil."
This should be obvious. Users and user-level descriptions should
come first, before implementation changes are made.
