[slime-devel] Version checking disabled - be thoughtful

Allo allo,

The automatic version checking between the client and server (based on
ChangeLog date) is now disabled. This is based on the theory that the
false alarms happen more often than real problems.

Just remember that when you 'cvs update' SLIME you should restart both
Emacs and Lisp. Otherwise you might end up running different versions
of the Elisp and CL code and have strange problems.

Historically the biggest single problem for users has been having
version mismatches. There is still some separate code that tries to
detect any stale byte-compiled version of the Elisp code, and
hopefully that's enough to keep things sailing smoothly.
