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

381 Emacs 18 has been around for a long, long time. Version 19 was
|
|
382 supposed to be the successor to v18 with X support. It was going to
|
|
383 be available \"real soon\" for a long time (some people remember
|
|
384 hearing about v19 as early as 1984!), but it never came out. v19
|
|
385 development was going very, very slowly, and from the outside it
|
|
386 seemed that it was not moving at all. In the meantime other people
|
|
387 gave up waiting for v19 and decided to build their own X-aware
|
|
388 Emacsen. The most important of these was probably Epoch, which came
|
|
389 from the University of Illinois (\"UofI\") and was based on v18.
|
|
390
|
|
391 Around 1990, the Developer Products group within Sun Microsystems
|
|
392 Inc., decided that it wanted an integrated editor. (This group is now
|
|
393 known as DevPro. It used to be known as SunPro - the name was changed
|
|
394 in mid-1994.) They contracted with the University of Illinois to
|
|
395 provide a number of basic enhancements to the functionality in Epoch.
|
|
396 UofI initially was planning to deliver this on top of Epoch 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 Version
|
|
401 19 base was a better one than Version 18 and thus decided not to use
|
|
402 Epoch but instead to work with Richard Stallman, the head of the Free
|
|
403 Software Foundation and principal author of Emacs, on getting v19 out.
|
|
404 At some point Stallman and Lucid parted ways. Lucid kept working and
|
|
405 got a v19 out that they called Lucid Emacs 19.
|
|
406
|
|
407 After Lucid's v19 came out it became clear to us (the UofI and Sun)
|
|
408 that the right thing to do was to push for an integration of both
|
|
409 Lucid Emacs and Epoch, and to get the deliverables that Sun was asking
|
|
410 from the University of Illinois on top of this integrated platform.
|
|
411 Until 1994, Sun and Lucid both actively supported XEmacs as part of
|
|
412 their product suite and invested a comparable amount of effort into
|
|
413 it. Substantial portions of the current code have originated under
|
|
414 the support of Sun, either directly within Sun, or at UofI but paid
|
|
415 for by Sun. This code was kept away from Lucid for a while, but later
|
|
416 was made available to them. Initially Lucid didn't know that Sun was
|
|
417 supporting UofI, but later Sun was open about it.
|
|
418
|
|
419 Around 1992 DevPro-originated code started showing up in Lucid Emacs,
|
|
420 starting with the infusion of the Epoch redisplay code. The separate
|
|
421 code bases at Lucid, Sun, and the University of Illinois were merged,
|
|
422 allowing a single XEmacs to evolve from that point on.
|
|
423
|
|
424 Sun originally called the integrated product ERA, for \"Emacs
|
|
425 Rewritten Again\". SunPro and Lucid eventually came to an agreement
|
|
426 to find a name for the product that was not specific to either
|
|
427 company. An additional constraint that Lucid placed on the name was
|
|
428 that it must contain the word \"Emacs\" in it -- thus \"ERA\" was not
|
|
429 acceptable. The tentatively agreed-upon name was \"XEmacs\", and this
|
|
430 has been the name of the program since version 19.11.)
|
|
431
|
|
432 As of 1997, Sun is shipping XEmacs as part of its Developer Products
|
|
433 integrated programming environment \"Sun WorkShop\". Sun is
|
|
434 continuing to support XEmacs development, with focus on
|
|
435 internationalization and quality improvement.\n\n"

|
