Hi,

just installed v8.8 on a new Windows 10 laptop. Have been using V7 up to now.
My EmacsInit file loads OK.
However, I do have a problem with saving the environment, ESC-x save-environment. 
I don't get prompted for filename and I don't get any env file (in my bemacs dir).
Bemacs loads my EmacsInit file every time it starts.
I had no problem doing this on V7 Bemacs.

I have the following env variables
emacs_user  = "C:\Users\nilsb\bemacs"
emacs_checkpoint  = "C:\Users\nilsb\bemacs\checkpoint"
emacs_journal  = "C:\Users\nilsb\bemacs\journal"

Do I miss something? Is the environment file removed in V8?

It’s gone. It was implemented when we had very slow start up times.

With modern cpu the startup is near instant. So it did not seem

Worth the maintenance cost of keeping save environment working.
