el-patch 1.1

Added

• Patches can now be defined for more types of objects:
  • el-patch-defvar
  • el-patch-defcustom
  • el-patch-define-minor-mode
• New function el-patch-get to get a patch definition by name.
• Objects can now be renamed in a patch using el-patch-swap on the
  name (#4).
• Actual description in the Commentary section of el-patch.el
  (#5).
• MIT license
  (melpa/melpa#4512).
• Arbitrary functions can be run (to load patches) by adding things to
  the new hook el-patch-pre-validate-hook. Cleanup can then be done
  in el-patch-post-validate-hook.

Changed

• It is no longer necessary to specify el-patch-feature due to
  improvements in the el-patch patching mechanism.
• The functions el-patch-ediff-patch, el-patch-ediff-conflict, and
  el-patch-unpatch now take an object name and definition type
  rather than a patch definition (or function name in the case of
  el-patch-unpatch). Interactive usage has not changed.

Deprecated

• As a result of the aforementioned improvements, el-patch-feature
  is now a deprecated no-op.

Fixed

• el-patch-splice previously acted the same as el-patch-wrap. Now
  it functions correctly.
• The patch definition macros now have their docstrings colored
  correctly by the syntax highlighter (by specifying (declare (doc-string N))).
• .dir-locals.el is now ignored when validating patches
  (#2).
