Re: Gnus v5.6.35 is released

[John H Palmieri]

I'm having some problems with Gnus v5.6.35:


1. Start emacs, start gnus with 'M-x gnus'.  Here's the resulting
*Messages* buffer:

  Loading gnus (compiled)...
  Loading cus-face (compiled)...
  Loading cus-face (compiled)...done
  Symbol's function definition is void: gnus-get-buffer-create

I think the problem is

(eval-when (load) 
  (let ((command (format "%s" this-command)))
    (if (and (string-match "gnus" command)
	     (not (string-match "gnus-other-frame" command)))
	(gnus-splash)
      (get-buffer-create gnus-group-buffer))))

gnus-splash calls gnus-get-buffer-create, which hasn't been loaded in
yet.

--------------------------------

2. Start emacs, load gnus.elc manually, start gnus with 'M-x gnus'.
Everything starts up as it should, so I read news for a bit, then quit
with 'q'.

   Are you sure you want to quit reading news? (y or n)

If I hit 'y', then it saves my changes, but doesn't kill the *Group*
buffer.  The problem may be with the variable gnus-buffers; after
starting gnus, opening one group, reading one article, then quitting
that group, gnus-buffers looks like:

(#<buffer *Article*> #<buffer  *Original Article*> #<killed buffer> #<killed buffer> #<buffer  *gnus work*> #<buffer .newsrc-dribble>)

#<buffer *Group*> is absent from this list.  Indeed, it isn't even in
the list immediately after starting gnus.


--------------------------------

2a. If I then select a newsgroup (which I probably shouldn't do, since
I've quit gnus), it says

   Wrong type argument: listp, 317222

(The number changed depending on the group.)


--------------------------------

3. Start emacs, load gnus.elc manually, start gnus with 'M-x gnus',
quit with 'q', then run gnus again with 'M-x gnus'.  I am told:

  Checking new news...
  Checking new news...done
  No news is no news

This is patently false: I know that I have unread messages in some
mail groups.

I can't reproduce this in XEmacs 21.

Well, I'm unable to reproduce these bugs, but I've fiddled with this
some now.

I should have said that I'm using GNU Emacs 20.2.1.  I was having
problems when I started normally or when I started with 'emacs -q' and
set the load-path manually.

Anyway, it seems to work properly with v5.6.36.
