322 of our environment on top of the world's best editor, GNU
|
|
|
323 Emacs. (Though our product is commercial, the work we did on
|
|

324 GNU Emacs is free software, and is useful in its own right.)

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

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

657 Stig is sort of a tool fetishist. He has a hate/love relationship
|
|
|
658 with computers and he hacks on XEmacs because it's a good tool that
|
|
|
659 makes computers somewhat less of a nuisance. Besides XEmacs, Stig
|
|
|
660 especially likes his Leatherman, his Makita, and his lockpicks.
|
|
|
661 Stig wants a MIG welder and air tools.

663 Stig likes to perch, hang from the ceiling, and climb on the walls.

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

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