Release 2.2.59:

This release fixes various problems with release 2.2.58, including
shipping the wrong source code (oops), and automates the GNU release
process so that errors of this sort should no longer happen. The build
system was tidied a little.

Release 2.2.58:

This release makes Zile's transition to being a GNU program. Note the
new web site, distribution URL and support addresses. This release
also fixes the display of errors that occur during startup.

Release 2.2.57:

This release changes the code to meet GNU coding standards. It's not
recommended for users because there are no (intended!) functional
changes whatsoever, and it's just possible that new bugs have been
introduced.

Release 2.2.56:

This release fixes a bug that prevented top-bit-set characters being
bindable to commands.

Release 2.2.55:

This release allows Zile to produce core dumps when it crashes,
handles SIGBUS, and fixes a crash caused by trying to bind a command
to the empty string.

Changes between Zile 1.6.1 - Zile 1.7 BETA 2

Note: 1.7 BETA 2 was produced from 1.6.1, not 1.6.2, but all the same
fixes were applied.

* Changed configure script so no syntax colouring modes are built by
  default.
* Implemented Java Mode.  Contributed by Marius Nita <marius@cs.pdx.edu>.
* Implemented C# Mode.  Contributed by Josef 'Jupp' Schugt <jupp@gmx.de>.

  the variable `mail-mode-auto-fill') as suggested by Josef Schugt.
* Implemented the widely-used Emacs bindings:
    - `forward-word' (bound to `M-f'), `backward-word' (bound to `M-b');
    - `capitalize-word' (bount to `M-c');
    - `upcase-word' (bount to `M-u'), `downcase-word' (bount to `M-l');

* Now `quoted-insert' (bound to `C-q') accepts octal digits to
  insert particular characters.

  Now the variable applies also to buffer mode changes.
* Fixed two old bugs thanks to Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>.

    * fixed bug in highlight;
