@ -2218,6 +2218,17 @@ the emacs-mule encoding. Also, files stored in the emacs-mule
encoding using Emacs 20 with additional private charsets defined will
probably not be read correctly by Emacs 21.
** Not really a change (yet), but a projected one that of which you
should be aware of: The variable `directory-sep-char' is deprecated,
and should not be used. It was always ignored on GNU/Linux and Unix
systems and on MS-DOS, but the MS-Windows port tried to support it by
adapting the behavior of certain primitives to the value of this
variable. It turned out that such support cannot be reliable, so it
was decided to remove this variable in the near future. Lisp programs
are well advised not to set it to anything but '/', because any
different value will not have any effect when support for this
variable is removed.
