[GNU ELPA] Pabbrev version 4.3.0


From: ELPA update
Subject: [GNU ELPA] Pabbrev version 4.3.0
Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2024 05:02:47 -0500

Version 4.3.0 of package Pabbrev has just been released in GNU ELPA.
You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.

Pabbrev describes itself as:

  =================================
  Predictive abbreviation expansion
  =================================

More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/pabbrev.html

## Summary:

  The code provides a abbreviation expansion for Emacs.  Its fairly
  similar to "dabbrev" expansion, which works based on the contents
  of the current buffer (or other buffers).

  Predictive abbreviation expansion works based on the previously
  written text.  Unlike dynamic abbreviation, the text is analysed
  during idle time, while Emacs is doing nothing else.  `pabbrev-mode'
  tells you when this is happening.  If this irritates you unset
  `pabbrev-idle-timer-verbose'.  The advantage of this is that its
  very quick to look up potential abbreviations, which means that they
  can be constantly displayed, without interfering with the user as
  they type.  Certainly it works for me, on an old laptop, typing as
  fast as I can (which is fast, since I learnt to type with four
  fingers).

## Recent NEWS:

Since 4.2.2:
- Cosmestic changes (enable lexical-binding, silence compiler warnings, ...)
