Subject: Emacs 19.19 installed in emacs19 locker
This version may be flakey in terminal mode. Please make sure to report
any problems to emacsdev@athena.mit.edu. I took the linux version out
of the locker because I couldn't compile the new version due to the fact
that quiche is broken; /sbin and /usr/sbin are no longer there (I think
someone mounted msdos or some crap and messed it up), and I'm not going
to bother doing linux stuff until someone fixes the one linux machine I
have access to.
Here is the announcement of 19.19:

Emacs 19.19 is now available for ftp in /pub/gnu/emacs-19.19.tar.gz.
Compressed diffs from 19.18, in emacs-19.18-19.19.diff.gz, are about
90k.
The main purpose of 19.19 is to fix most of the bugs reported
for 19.18. But there are some new features:
Changes in version 19.19.
* The new package bookmark.el records named bookmarks: positions that
you can jump to. Bookmarks are saved automatically between Emacs
sessions.
* Another simpler package saveplace.el records your position in each
file when you kill its buffer (or kill Emacs), and jumps to the same
position when you visit the file again (even in another Emacs
session). Use `toggle-save-place' to turn on place-saving in a given file;
use (setq-default save-place t) to turn it on for all files.
* In Outline mode, you can now customize how to compute the level of a
heading line. Set `outline-level' to a function of no arguments which
returns the level, assuming point is at the beginning of a heading
line.
* You can now specify the prefix key to use for Outline minor mode.
(The default is C-c.) Set the variable outline-minor-mode-prefix to
the key sequence you want to use (as a string or vector).
* In Bibtex mode, C-c e has been changed to C-c C-b. This is because
C-c followed by a letter is reserved for users.
* The `mod' function is no longer an alias for `%', but is a separate function
that yields a result with the same sign as the divisor. `floor' now takes an
optional second argument, which divides the first argument before the floor is
taken.
* `%' no longer allows floating point arguments, since the results were often
inconsistent with integer `%'.
