Subject: [ANNOUNCE] ada-mode 3.6 for Emacs 21.1 released

A new version of the ada-mode for Emacs has been released, that among other
things includes a better support for Emacs 21.

Note that the new official page for the ada-mode is:
    http://libre.act-europe.fr/adamode

Here is the list of the main changes in the ada-mode. This list doesn't include
all the bug fixes.


* Support for Emacs 21
  Emacs 21 is a major new revision of Emacs, that includes some changes in
  the packages ada-mode depends on. The port has been done to the new version.
  As a result, ada-mode 3.6 is probably not compatible with older versions of
  Emacs.

* Better handling for Ada files that don't follow GNAT's default naming
  scheme (.adb for bodies and .ads for specs).

* ada-xref-search-with-grep is a new variable intended for big projects: it
  allows you to disable the default behavior of ada-mode, that will use grep to
  do a cross-reference if the information generated by GNAT is not up-to-date.

* Cross-references to operators now work correctly in all situations

* Add support for the GNU visual debugger. This debugger will be used by
  default if found on the path. See also the variable
  ada-tight-integration-with-gvd.

* Better support for Windows paths


Supported users of Ada Core Technologies or ACT-Europe do not need to download
this version, which has been available to them for some time. In any case, you
should request new versions or bug fixes through your usual channel.
