Breaking changes

  • The arguments to el-patch-feature after the feature name are no longer quoted by el-patch-feature before being passed to el-patch-require-function. This means you can write them as normal function arguments instead as unquoted symbols.
  • The default value of el-patch-require-function has changed from require to el-patch-default-require-function, which ignores all arguments to el-patch-feature aside from the feature name, and converts require errors to warnings (#47).
  • Emacs 25 is no longer supported.

Features

  • You can define patch variants using the new variable el-patch-variant. For advanced usage. See #29 for discussion.
  • You can validate patches automatically during byte-compilation by setting el-patch-validate-during-compile to non-nil (#48).

Enhancements

  • All el-patch forms are now fontified the same way as their built-in counterparts, e.g. the function name in an el-patch-defun is fontified the same as the function name in a defun would be. See #35.

Internal changes

  • The autoloading mechanism used by el-patch has changed, reducing
    the amount of work that is done at startup and simplifying the
    implementation (#56). The user-facing impact is as follows:
    • el-patch--patches and el-patch-deftype-alist are no longer autoloaded. If you use a compiled init-file, you may need to recompile it with the new version of el-patch; the code compiled with the old version of el-patch will not work at runtime with the new version of el-patch. However, evaluating patches in a compiled init-file, even one that uses el-patch-deftype, still does not load el-patch.
    • el-patch-defun and analogous functions are now autoloaded, rather than fully defined at init time. This should not matter since a compiled init-file would have macroexpanded these into smaller components that do not have runtime dependencies on el-patch.
    • There is a new file el-patch-stub.el that needs to be on the load-path for autoloads to work. This should be taken care of automatically by any of the popular Emacs package managers.
