NEWS excerpt:

  - 1.28 | 2007-05-29
  
    - Bugfix: C-h m (describe-mode) no longer throws error
  
        Previously, `C-h m' in either Database View or Database Edit
        mode would throw a "Symbol's function definition is void" error.
        This bug was introduced in EDB 1.26.
  
    - Bugfix: displayspec can handle multiple options
  
        Previously, the displayspec `\id,width=5,right-justify' would
        render the field `id' without any padding whatsoever.  This was
        due to a bug in `right-justify' handling as well as a more
        general (regexp-related -- surprise, surprise) problem handling
        multiple options.  These are now fixed.
  
    - Dropped items announced in EDB 1.27 NEWS (see below)

        (internal)      database-set-recordfieldspec
        (spurious)      db-tagged-rrfr-hooks
        (spurious)      db-tagged-wrfr-before-hooks
        (spurious)      db-tagged-wrfr-after-hooks
  
    - Control file can start w/ comments and blank lines
  
        The text ":EDB " used to be expected at the very beginning of
        the buffer; now, any preceding comment and blank lines are
        skipped w/o error.  See examples/null.edb for an example.
  
    - New Database Summary mode keybinding: `S' now runs `db-sort'
  
    - New documentation: refcard
  
        Erich Wälde contributed refcard.tex (source for refcard.ps),
        in the doc/ subdir.
  
    - New command: edb-interact
  
        Actually, this is just `edb-EXPERIMENTAL-interact' renamed; the
        old name is a now an alias, to be removed for EDB 1.29.
  
    - Maintenance uses GNU Autoconf 2.60
