2.2 Requirements

Patcher currently works with XEmacs 21.4 or later. Patcher might also have some other requirements, depending on how you use it:

• If you let Patcher create ChangeLogs for you (see ChangeLogs Handling), you will need the add-log library from the xemacs-base package, version 2.21 or later, installed on your system.
• If you want to send mails from Patcher (see Mail Methods), you will need a mail user agent. Patcher currently supports sendmail, message and Gnus natively and through the compose-mail interface. Other MUA might be partly supported when used with compose-mail. Patcher will probably suffer from non critical deficiencies in that case however (it will issue warnings).
