| what happened | The syntax highlighting and auto-indentation for xemacs 21.4.(patch 12) is extremely bad. Prominent examples: - Each one line comment colors the rest of the document commented - Strings are not correctly recognized e.g. '"' |

| (( this is a contribution )) Also for emacs, there is a problem with symbols. E.g. writing 'a() breaks a lot... |

XEmacs is explicitely not supported, as specified in the README file which I added recently. As far as the syntax highlighting is concerned, the problem with symbols might be fixable, I'll look into that. Please notice, though, that Scala's syntax contains many tricky constructions which simply cannot be handled by Emacs, unless its support for language is completely rewritten, or we start using a package like the "Semantic Bovinator". |

| I changed the way character literals are highlighted. Now they should all highlight correctly except '\'' for whatever reason, and symbols should not be incorrectly highlighted like character literals, as they used to. |
