Hi,
I was just notified that Org-mode no longer installs properly on
Emacs 21. The reason for this is that org-protocol.el requires
the url.el package which apparently does not exist in Emacs 21.
While you can
- run uncompiled Org on Emacs 21 without using org-protocol
- try to find url.el for Emacs 21
and while I will not willingly break compatibility in other places,
I will from today stop the official support for Emacs 21. Also the
website now says that Emacs 22 is a requirement for Org-mode to
function properly.
- Carsten

Hm - the only function we now use from the url package is `url-unhex'.
That is just:
(defun url-unhex (x)
(if (> x ?9)
(if (>= x ?a)
(+ 10 (- x ?a))
(+ 10 (- x ?A)))
(- x ?0)))
As it's only 6 lines of code:
How would we define the function if the package is not present?

(defun org-protocol-url-unhex (x)
(if (> x ?9)
(if (>= x ?a)
(+ 10 (- x ?a))
(+ 10 (- x ?A)))
(- x ?0)))
OK, lets remove it. I'll wait for the patch.
Still, official Emacs 21 support will stop.

I think this is more than OK. There are tons of past releases still
around that runs nicely on Emacs 21.
