481
482 * Makefile (dist): Don't bother excluding autosave files; they'll
483 never make it into the temp directory anyway, and the hash marks
484 in the name are problematic for make and the Bourne shell.

510
511 * Makefile make dist now depends on elisp.dvi, since it tries
512 to include it in the dist file.

525 * @result{}, @expansion{}, @print{}, @quiv{}, @point{},
526 and @error{} are the terms now being used. The files in the
527 directory have been changed to reflect this.
528
d1f08d85 529 * All instances of @indentedresultt{} have been changed to
94ec544d
DL
530 ` @result{}', using 5 spaces at the begining of the line.

534 * @result{}, @expandsto{}, @prints{}, @quiv{}, @error{}, and the
535 experimental @indentedresult{}, @indentedexpandsto{} are part of
536 the texinfo.tex in this directory. These TeX macros are not
537 stable yet.

548 * Applied Karl Berry's patches to *.texinfo files, but not to
549 texinfo.tex; those diffs are in `berry-texinfo-tex-diffs'. (Karl's
550 new title page format is also not applied, since it requires
551 texinfo.tex changes.)
552
553 * Cleaned up `Makefile' and defined the `emacslibdir' directory
554 for the Project GNU development environment.
