One recent change I cannot value high enough is optimizations which went into dealing with long lines. If you remember Emacs as being unusable as an editor for long lines, this is no more. I don't know if this went into 28.2 as I am happily using 29.0.50
- PurpleRamen 4y agoAre we talking about real optimizations? I remember some years ago (with v27.1?) there were some solution for long lines introduced which basically came down to just deactivating certain features like fontlock, etc.
- karthink 4y ago> Are we talking about real optimizations? Yes. The new fixes don't work by turning off features like so-long-mode does. And they remove the long lines penalty almost completely.
- daptaq 4y agoNo, this will be part of Emacs 29.1, the changes part of 28.2 are relativly minor: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/etc/NEWS?h=emacs-28.2#n40 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/etc/NEWS?h=...
