[zile-devel] Zile 2.2 canned for now

[Reuben Thomas]

Running valgrind on CVS zile, it is obvious that it is now (with the 
Lisp interpreter) allocating vast amounts of memory. This will be bad on 
small machines. For this reason, the current Lisp interpreter is 
probably a bad idea for Zile; in Zee I will of course make it more 
lightweight, but for Zile 2.2 I simply don't have time.

Hence, I don't propose to release a 2.2 alpha, and I've hidden the 2.1.0 
release (which in any case went wrong, as the .tar.gz ended up 0 bytes 
in length).

I am going to tag the tree and start on Zee development.

On the other hand, Zile 2.0 is a solid basis for further development of 
Zile, although there is plenty that could still be simplified and 
streamlined.
