Approximately coincides with the release of emacs 24.4, Though some
changes for the emacs 24.4 upgrade are not yet completed; specifically:
* replace w3m with the now built in eww
* no need to enable electric-indent-mode since it is now enabled by
default
* other things that I don't know about yet ...
Now the main changes are as follows:
* Use .emacs.d/init.el for emacs start-up file instead of .emacs; this
new init file is much shorter in summary does the following:
- auto-loads packages installed using package.el using the
package-initialize function
- adds .emacs.d/site-lisp-extra to the load-path
- sets a few variables and functions and then recursively loads all
.el files in .emacs.d/config
- contains all variables set by customize at the end of the file
* All other configuration is written to files with appropriate names in
.emacs.d/config; currently the concatenation of these files is the same
as the .emacs in the last commit not including the sexp's that went
into .emacs.d/init.el
Things that remain the same but are no less important to mention in
regards to the setup of this emacs configuration:
* custom themes are stored in .emacs.d/themes
* custom yasnippets are stored in .emacs.d/snippets
* templates (used by .emacs.d/config/insert-templates.el to insert a
comment at the beginning of certain files using auto-insert-mode) are
located at .emacs.d/templates
Note: I've been considering depreciating the use of auto-insert-mode
to insert content into new files and instead use yasnippets.
Further though is required.
