Tramp 2.1.17

Hello,

The Tramp team is happy to announce the release of Tramp 2.1.17.

Tramp is a remote file editing package for GNU Emacs and XEmacs.  Tramp
uses different methods like ssh or scp to access files on remote hosts
as if they were local files.  Access to the remote file system for
editing files, version control, and directory editing are transparently
enabled.

Beside bug fixing, Tramp 2.1.17 introduces a new package tramp-imap.el,
which offers the new connection methods imap and imaps.  This allows to
save files on IMAP servers.  Due to dependencies on the new package
imap-hash.el, tramp-imap.el is applicable with GNU Emacs 23.1.50 only.

The tramp-gvfs.el package has been extended by the synce method, which
allows communication with Windows Mobile devices.

The GNU Emacs CVS repository is synchronized with this code.  Due to
license problems, the XEmacs package repository is not updated.

The download files are located at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tramp/

Tramp's homepage is http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/ (for GNU Emacs)
or http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/tramp-xemacs.html (for XEmacs),
respectively.

Best regards, Michael.
