Subject: [Howm-eng 164] Anybody having issues after upgrade to Emacs 27?
Message-ID: <55b54ceb-e0e8-8ed9-91cf-9c1dd7356cfd@gmail.com>

Hey guys.

Looks like this list has been pretty quiet for a few years based on the 
archive.

I've run into a little problem in the last few days, and the prime 
suspect is having just upgraded to Emacs 27.

I'm on Emacs 27.1 and howm 1.4.6.

I'm fairly certain the upgrade to Emacs 27 broke something. Howm does 
not seem able to search any of my files any longer. I have a file where 
I keep a list of important keywords with come-from link. Some of them 
will execute a search, some of them won't. The one's that won't simply 
report "No match." and their face is not my action-lock-face. For 
keywords displayed with the correct action-lock-face, when they are 
activated, I get a list of only the file which I have open, with the 
match being the come-from link itself.

If I do a (howm-list-all) my files are all there however.

I gave external grep a shot just to eliminate that variable, and it made 
no difference.

Anybody run into this issue? Is this just something about my config, or 
has something in Emacs 27 broken something fundamental here?

In the meantime I'm gonna see if I can compile an older version of 
Emacs, but I had to change a few things in my init to get 27 working., 
so we'll see if those changes are backwards compatible or if I then have 
to jump through further hoops.

Just looking to see if this is an isolated issue.

Cheers guys.

Kenneth
