Missing NEWS entry for comint-send-input

[Rommerskirchen, Heinrich]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing
list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


There is an incompatible change in the function comint-send-input in
comint.el
between versions 21.4 and 22.0.50. This change seems to be not
documented in
NEWS.

Old : (defun comint-send-input () ... )
New : (defun comint-send-input (&optional no-newline artificial)
  "...Callers sending input not from the user should use ARTIFICIAL = t.
" ... )

I assume this is the cause for problems in gnuplot.el (Part of the
plotting
package gnuplot). It workes fine in v.21.4, but in 22.0.50 after every
command
sent to gnuplot emacs hangs until awakened with C-g. The problem
disappears
after changing "(comint-send-input)" to "(comint-send-input nil t)" in
gnuplot.el.
