elfeed (3.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium Emacs 26 introduces a new "record" type, and cl-defstruct objects used by Elfeed as its database format are now based on this type. This unfortunately changes (and breaks) Elfeed's index format. Prior to this release, Emacs 26 could not open an Emacs 24–25 index and vice versa. As of Elfeed 2.4.0, Elfeed running under Emacs 26 will automatically and quietly upgrade an Emacs 25 database index for Emacs 26. THIS UPGRADE IS IRREVERSIBLE and the database can no longer be used with Emacs 25. A one-time backup copy ("index.backup") of the original Emacs 25 index is created before performing the upgrade. If Emacs 25, whether running this or any prior Elfeed release, loads the new database format, it will see an empty database as if starting from scratch. -- Lev Lamberov Fri, 20 Jul 2018 15:00:06 +0500
