To install this package, run in Emacs:
M-x package-install RET compat RET
Full description
To allow for the usage of Emacs functions and macros that are defined in newer versions of Emacs, compat.el provides definitions that are installed ONLY if necessary. These reimplementations of functions and macros are at least subsets of the actual implementations. Be sure to read the documentation string to make sure. Not every function provided in newer versions of Emacs is provided here. Some depend on new features from the core, others cannot be implemented to a meaningful degree. The main audience for this library are not regular users, but package maintainers. Therefore commands and user options are usually not implemented here.

cause unintended side-effects, not related to packages using Compat

Release of "Compat" Version 28.1.1.0
This release mostly fixes a number of smaller bugs that were not identified as of 28.1.0.0. Nevertheless these warrent a version bump, as some of these changes a functional. These include:
- The addition of the
file-attribute-*accessor functions. - The addition of
file-attribute-collect. - Improvements to the Texinfo manual (via Jonas Bernoulli's recent
work on
ox-texinfo). For the time being, the Texinfo file is maintained in the repository itself, next to theMANUALfile. This might change in the future. - Adding a prefix to
string-trim,string-trim-leftandstring-trim-right(i.e. nowcompat-string-trim,compat-string-trim-leftandcompat-string-trim-right) - Improving the version inference used in the
compat-*macros. This improves the compile-time optimisation that strips away functions that are known to be defined for a specific version. - The addition of generalised variable (
setf) support forcompat-alist-get. - The addition of
image-propertyand generalised variable support forimage-property. - The addition of the function
compat-executable-find. - The addition of the function
compat-dired-get-marked-files. - The addition of the function
exec-path. - The addition of the function
make-lock-file-name. - The addition of the function
null-device. - The addition of the function
time-equal-p. - The addition of the function
date-days-in-month. - Handling out-of-directory byte compilation better.
- Fixing the usage and edge-cases of
and-let*.
Furthermore a bug tracker was added: https://todo.sr.ht/~pkal/compat, which is the preferred way to report issues or feature requests. General problems, questions, etc. are still better discussed on the development mailing list: https://lists.sr.ht/~pkal/compat-devel.
