- Description:
- The Perspective package provides multiple named workspaces (or
"perspectives") in Emacs, similar to multiple desktops in window
managers like Awesome and XMonad, and Spaces on the Mac.
Each perspective has its own buffer list and its own window layout,
along with some other isolated niceties, like the xref ring. This
makes it easy to work on many separate projects without getting lost
in all the buffers. Switching to a perspective activates its window
configuration, and when in a perspective, only its buffers are
available (by default).
Each Emacs frame has a distinct list of perspectives.
Perspective supports saving its state to a file, so long-lived work
sessions may be saved and recovered as needed.

Emacs Lisp ports framework: Overhaul
This overhaul introduces four key changes to the elisp ports framework:
1. Remove support for packaged byte-compiled elisp.
The primary motivation is to remove a large number of flavor-specific
packages and to simplify the ports tree. As an example, supporting
byte-compiled elisp for devel/tablist required six packages, one for
each flavor of editors/emacs and editors/emacs-devel. With over 100
elisp ports and requests for new Emacs flavors, this was
unmanageable.
2. Install configuration to integrate with Emacs's native compilation
machinery, allowing elisp from ports to be compiled into the standard (Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above  ) |
