328 At the time of the inception of Lucid Emacs (the former name
|
|
|
329 of XEmacs), Lucid's latest product was Energize, a C/C++
|
|
|
330 development environment. Rather than invent (and force our
|
|
|
331 users to learn) a new user interface, we chose to build part
|
|
|
332 of our environment on top of the world's best editor, GNU
|
|
|
333 Emacs. (Though our product is commercial, the work we did on
|
|
|
334 GNU Emacs is free software, and is useful in its own right.)
|
|
|
335
|
|
|
336 We needed a version of Emacs with mouse-sensitive regions,
|
|
|
337 multiple fonts, the ability to mark sections of a buffer as
|
|
|
338 read-only, the ability to detect which parts of a buffer has
|
|
|
339 been modified, and many other features.
|
|
|
340
|
|
|
341 For our purposes, the existing version of Epoch was not
|
|
|
342 sufficient; it did not allow us to put arbitrary pixmaps/icons
|
|
|
343 in buffers, `undo' did not restore changes to regions, regions
|
|
|
344 did not overlap and merge their attributes in the way we needed,
|
|
|
345 and several other things.
|
|
|
346
|
|
|
347 We could have devoted our time to making Epoch do what we needed
|
|
|
348 (and, in fact, we spent some time doing that in 1990) but, since
|
|
|
349 the FSF planned to include Epoch-like features in their version
|
|
|
350 19, we decided that our efforts would be better spent improving
|
|
|
351 Emacs 19 instead of Epoch.
|
|
|
352
|
|
|
353 Our original hope was that our changes to Emacs would be
|
|
|
354 incorporated into the \"official\" v19. However, scheduling
|
|
|
355 conflicts arose, and we found that, given the amount of work
|
|
|
356 still remaining to be done, we didn't have the time or manpower
|
|
|
357 to do the level of coordination that would be necessary to get
|
|
|
358 our changes accepted by the FSF. Consequently, we released our
|
|
|
359 work as a forked branch of Emacs, instead of delaying any
|
|
|
360 longer.
|
|
|
361
|
|
|
362 Roughly a year after Lucid Emacs 19.0 was released, a beta
|
|
|
363 version of the FSF branch of Emacs 19 was released. The FSF
|
|
|
364 version is better in some areas, and worse in others, as
|
|
|
365 reflects the differing focus of our development efforts.
|
|
|
366
|
|
|
367 We plan to continue developing and supporting Lucid Emacs, and
|
|
|
368 merging in bug fixes and new features from the FSF branch as
|
|
|
369 appropriate; we do not plan to discard any of the functionality
|
|
|
370 that we implemented which RMS has chosen not to include in his
|
|
|
371 version.
|
|
|
372
|
|
|
373 Certain elements of Lucid Emacs, or derivatives of them, have
|
|
|
374 been ported to the FSF version. We have not been doing work in
|
|
|
375 this direction, because we feel that Lucid Emacs has a cleaner
|
|
|
376 and more extensible substrate, and that any kind of merger
|
|
|
377 between the two branches would be far easier by merging the FSF
|
|
|
378 changes into our version than the other way around.
|
|
|
379
|
|
|
380 We have been working closely with the Epoch developers to merge
|
|
|
381 in the remaining Epoch functionality which Lucid Emacs does not
|
|
|
382 yet have. Epoch and Lucid Emacs will soon be one and the same
|
|
|
383 thing. Work is being done on a compatibility package which will
|
|
|
384 allow Epoch 4 code to run in XEmacs with little or no change.")

390 Emacs 18 has been around for a long, long time. Version 19 was
|
|
|
391 supposed to be the successor to v18 with X support. It was
|
|
|
392 going to be available \"real soon\" for a long time (some
|
|
|
393 people remember hearing about v19 as early as 1984!), but it
|
|
|
394 never came out. v19 development was going very, very slowly,
|
|
|
395 and from the outside it seemed that it was not moving at all.
|
|
|
396 In the meantime other people gave up waiting for v19 and
|
|
|
397 decided to build their own X-aware Emacsen. The most important
|
|
|
398 of these was probably Epoch, which came from University of
|
|
|
399 Illinois (\"UofI\") and was based on v18.
|
|
|
400
|
|
|
401 Around three or four years ago what was then called SunPro (a
|
|
|
402 division of Sun Microsystems, Inc.) decided that it wanted an
|
|
|
403 integrated editor. They contracted with UofI to provide a
|
|
|
404 number of basic enhancements to the functionality in Epoch.
|
|
|
405 UofI initially was planning to deliver this on top of Epoch
|
|
|
406 code.
|
|
|
407
|
|
|
408 In the meantime (actually some time before they talked with UofI)
|
|
|
409 Lucid had decided that it also wanted to provide an integrated
|
|
|
410 environment with an integrated editor. Lucid decided that the
|
|
|
411 v19 basis was a better one than v18 and thus decided not to use
|
|
|
412 Epoch but instead work with Richard Stallman, the head of the
|
|
|
413 Free Software Foundation and principle author of Emacs, on
|
|
|
414 getting v19 out. At some point Stallman and Lucid parted ways.
|
|
|
415 Lucid kept working and got a v19 out that they called Lucid
|
|
|
416 Emacs 19.
|
|
|
417
|
|
|
418 After Lucid's v19 came out it became clear to UofI and SunPro
|
|
|
419 that the right thing to do was to push for an integration of
|
|
|
420 both Lucid Emacs and Epoch, and to get the deliverables that
|
|
|
421 SunPro was asking from UofI on top of this integrated
|
|
|
422 platform. Through the last three or four years, SunPro has
|
|
|
423 been actively supporting this product and has been investing a
|
|
|
424 comparable amount of effort into it as Lucid has. Substantial
|
|
|
425 portions of the current code have originated under the support
|
|
|
426 of SunPro, either directly in SunPro, or in UofI but paid for
|
|
|
427 by SunPro. This code was kept away from Lucid for a while,
|
|
|
428 but later was made available to them. Initially Lucid didn't
|
|
|
429 know that SunPro was supporting UofI, but later they were open
|
|
|
430 about it.
|
|
|
431
|
|
|
432 Around two years ago the SunPro-related code started showing up
|
|
|
433 in Lucid Emacs. This started with the infusion of the Epoch
|
|
|
434 redisplay code.
|
|
|
435
|
|
|
436 At this moment there is basically no difference in the source
|
|
|
437 trees between what is at UofI and at Sun. All the development
|
|
|
438 sites are in sync.
|
|
|
439
|
|
|
440 SunPro originally called the integrated product ERA, for
|
|
|
441 \"Emacs Rewritten Again\". SunPro and Lucid eventually came
|
|
|
442 to an agreement to find a name for the product that was not
|
|
|
443 specific to either company. An additional constraint that
|
|
|
444 Lucid placed on the name was that it must contain the word
|
|
|
445 \"Emacs\" in it -- thus \"ERA\" was not acceptable. The
|
|
|
446 tentatively agreed-upon name was \"XEmacs\", and this has
|
|
|
447 been the name of the product since version 19.11.)")

837 In addition to those just mentioned, the following people have

839 versions of XEmacs, providing patches to the source code,
