-;; * Fix operation given local path without specified name
-;; * Preserveable (savehist) history that associates names with paths
-;; - Using an association list between names and paths
-;; - Searched for search backwards/forwards on isearch-like M-r/M-s bindings
-;; - *Not* searched for regular completion
-;; - Editible
-;; - During confirmation for new buffers - to use historical one
-;; - Or with minibuffer setup created key binding (isearch-like) M-e
-;; - M-e in empty initial provides completion on historicals
-;; - User can edit the entire path, changing the association
-;; - New association overrides previous
-;; - Deleting path removes association and history entry
-;; - Tracks buffer name changes
-;; - Using buffer-list-update-hook
-;; * Customize activation of savehist
-;; - Customize entry has warning about activating savehist
-;; - Adds the name/path association list to savehist-additional-variables
-;; - Activates savehist, if inactive
+;; * 2016-01-24 1.0.8 Ken Manheimer:
+;; - Work around the shell/tramp mishandling of remote+sudo+homedir problem!
+;; The work around is clean and simple, basically using high-level `cd'
+;; API and not messing with the low-level default-directory setting.
+;; (Turns out the problem was not in my local config. Good riddance to the
+;; awkward failure handler!)
+;; - Clean up code resolving the destination shell, starting to document the
+;; decision tree in the process. See getting-to-a-shell.md in the
+;; multishell repository, https://github.com/kenmanheimer/EmacsMultishell
+;; - There may be some shake-out on resolving the destination shell, but
+;; this release gets the fundamental functionality soundly in place.
+;; * 2016-01-23 1.0.7 Ken Manheimer:
+;; - Remove notes about tramp remote+sudo+homedir problem. Apparently it's
+;; due to something in my local site configuration (happens with -q but
+;; not -Q).
+;; * 2016-01-22 1.0.6 Ken Manheimer:
+;; - Add multishell-version function.
+;; - Tweak commentary/comments/docstrings.
+;; - Null old multishell-buffer-name-history var, if present.
+;; * 2016-01-16 1.0.5 Ken Manheimer:
+;; - History now includes paths, when designated.
+;; - Actively track current directory in history entries that have a path.
+;; Custom control: multishell-history-entry-tracks-current-directory
+;; - Offer to remove shell's history entry when buffer is killed.
+;; (Currently the only UI mechanism to remove history entries.)
+;; - Fix - prevent duplicate entries for same name but different paths
+;; - Fix - recognize and respect tramp path syntax to start in home dir
+;; - Simplify history var name, migrate existing history if any from old name
+;; * 2016-01-04 1.0.4 Ken Manheimer - Released to ELPA
+;; * 2016-01-02 Ken Manheimer - working on this in public, but not yet released.
+;;
+;; TODO:
+;;
+;; * Find suitable, internally consistent ways to tidy completions, eg:
+;; - first list completions for active shells, then present but inactive,
+;; then historical
+;; - some way for user to toggle between presenting just buffer names vs
+;; full buffer/path
+;; - without cutting user off from easy editing of path
+;; * Try minibuffer field boundary at beginning of tramp path, to see whether
+;; the field boundary magically enables tramp path completion.
+;; * Assess whether deletion of history entry via kill-buffer is sufficient.
