289 to .emacs. .emacs is set to load .xemacs-options. The file is

|
|
290 loaded with `load-options-file', which will allow eventually for

533
|
|
|
534 -- emacs-version for 20.0 now reports 20.0, not 19.20. This is gonna
|
|
|
535 break some packages that do incorrect version tests. Both 19.14
|
|
|
536 and 20.0 now include the function `emacs-version>=' from emacs-vers.el,
|
|
|
537 which is a correct version test function. If you want to use this
|
|
|
538 (highly recommended!), put code in your file like
|
|
|
539
|
|
|
540 (or (fboundp 'emacs-version>=)
|
|
|
541 [copy definition of emacs-version>= from version.el])
|
|
|
542 -- Byte code emitted by XEmacs 20.0 is NOT, repeat NOT, downward
|
|
|
543 compatible. Byte code compiled in any Emacs 19 is upwardly
|
|
|
544 compatible to v20. (For the most part, that is ...) However,
|
|
|
545 you can force v19 compatibility under XEmacs 20 by setting
|
|
|
546 `byte-compile-emacs19-compatibility' to non-nil.
|
|
|
547 -- (This latter change is the result of a better solution to the
|

548 "char-int confoundance syndrome" problem, although it was
|
|
|
549 planned anyway.)

551 USER-VISIBLE CHANGES:
|
|
|
552
|
|
|
553 -- w3 2.3.36

559 -- mailcrypt 3.4 (2.x has been removed)
|
|
|
560 -- The appropriate function-key and arrow-key definitions should
|
|
|
561 now be set up automatically in TTY mode, for a number of different
|
|
|
562 terminal types. Please review the terminals in lisp/term/ and
|
|
|
563 see if there's anything wrong. Also, feel free to supply new
|
|
|
564 terminal definition files.
|
|
|
565 -- blink-cursor-mode. This gets you the blinking cursor that lots
|
|
|
566 of people have been wanting for awhile. There is a menubar
|
|
|
567 entry for this.
|
|
|
568 NOTE: There is currently a redisplay bug whereby the cursor
|
|
|
569 won't blink if it's at the end of the line. Hopefully Chuck
|
|
|
570 will fix this soon.
|
|
|
571 -- wing-psgml-mode: A "grand unified mode" for HTML. I started out
|
|
|
572 with PSGML, which is a way cool and powerful mode for editing SGML,
|
|
|
573 but extremely un-user-friendly in its current form. I combined it
|
|
|
574 with some setup stuff from Alastair Burt and took some stuff
|
|
|
575 (the template stuff) from the hm--html-menus package.
|
|
|
576 -- improved file-dialog-box; some help from Rich Williams here.
|
|
|
577 -- improved completion-list-mode. (This is the mode for the lists
|
|
|
578 of completions.) Hit SPC in the minibuffer and you'll end up in
|
|
|
579 the completion list buffer, and can move around and select things
|
|
|
580 in a sensible fashion. This should be a friendliness improvement
|
|
|
581 for TTY mode and such.
|
|
|
582 -- improved edit-faces. It uses the new list-mode also and has
|
|
|
583 other new user-friendly features.
|
|
|
584 -- auto-show mode is now dumped and is enabled by default. This
|
|
|
585 will automatically scroll the window horizontally as necessary
|
|
|
586 to keep point in view. (buff-menu is no longer dumped, so there's
|
|
|
587 a net decrease in the puresize.)
|
|
|
588 -- There is a menubar entry for Bookmarks.
|
|
|
589 -- `show-message-log' and the associated menubar entry no longer exist.
|
|
|
590 Instead, use `view-lossage' (C-h l). There is now a menubar entry
|
|
|
591 for this under Help.
|
|
|
592 -- etags is merged with FSF 19.30 (adding Perl support, among other
|
|
|
593 things), and some Mly-induced breakage that resulted in pathologically
|
|
|
594 long relative filenames in the TAGS file has been fixed.
|
|
|
595 -- tcl.el 1.50.
|
|
|
596 -- annoying VM auto-raise of frame is gone.
|
|
|
597 -- I fixed a number of bugs with this-command-keys and C-g.
|
|
|
598 e.g. the C-x ? C-x C-h bug is finally gone. If you see any more,
|
|
|
599 please pipe up and I will try to fix them. (A lot of the event code
|
|
|
600 is rotting, though, so not everything can be fixed ...) Also, if
|
|
|
601 you notice any weird behavior, *please* speak up!

603 BUILD-LEVEL CHANGES:
|
|
|
604
|
|
|
605 -- When XEMACS_DEBUG is defined and XEmacs is dumping, the number of
|
|
|
606 bytes of purespace used by each loaded file is displayed.
|
|
|
607 -- Linux no longer defines BROKEN_SIGIO.
|
|
|
608 -- Linux binutils-2.6.0.10 breakage is no longer.
|
|
|
609 -- fixes for building under SunOS.
|
|
|
610 -- configuring without database support now works.
|
|
|
611 -- you can fix up the autoloads using `make autoloads' in the top
|
|
|
612 level directory.
|
|
|
613
|
|
|
614 LISP-LEVEL CHANGES:
|
|
62
|
615
|
|
70
|
616 -- Hyperbole is still broken, sigh.
|
|
|
617 -- function-key-map and key-translation-map are now properly implemented.
|
|
|
618 -- keyboard-translate-table now lets you translate keysyms, e.g. to
|
|
|
619 fix the grievous damage Sun did to their X keyboards. See the
|
|
|
620 function `keyboard-translate'.
|
|
|
621 -- The function `window-height' has been changed to return a different
|
|
|
622 value when a horizontal scrollbar is present. The new definition
|
|
|
623 makes window-height ``mathematically tractable'': Its value always
|
|
|
624 reflects the window geometry, and will not change if you turn off
|
|
|
625 or on the modeline or horizontal scrollbar. Also, now, when there
|
|
|
626 is only one window, frame-height always equals window-height.
|
|
|
627 -- The new function `window-displayed-height' returns the actual
|
|
|
628 number of text lines currently visible (making proper allowances
|
|
|
629 for blank space at the end of a buffer). You should use this
|
|
|
630 instead of the standard kludge `(1- (window-height))'.
|
|
|
631 -- Hash tables can now do their comparisons with `equal' instead of
|
|
|
632 `eq'. See `make-hashtable'.
|
|
|
633 -- The `face' property of extents and text properties can now be
|
|
|
634 a list.
|
|
|
635 -- derived.el has been fixed up and is now dumped.
|
|
|
636 -- cl.el is now dumped. This includes the most basic of the
|
|
|
637 Common Lisp functionality; the rest is autoloaded. (And with
|
|
|
638 the lazy byte-code loading, it will come in only as needed.)
|
|
|
639 Accordingly, I removed the (usually less powerful) XEmacs versions
|
|
|
640 of `intersection', `union', etc., `delete-if', `delete-if-not',
|
|
|
641 `push', `pop', `c[ad][ad][ad]?[ad]?r', etc. This should clear
|
|
|
642 up any remaining problems with ediff and such. Note that the
|
|
|
643 increase in purespace from doing this is actually quite small --
|
|
|
644 about 15K.
|
|
|
645 -- At least one function (`display-completion-list') has been rewritten
|
|
|
646 to take Common Lisp key-style arguments. This provides a sensible
|
|
|
647 alternative to having zillions of optional arguments in an
|
|
|
648 unrememberable order. Other packages might consider doing the
|
|
|
649 same.
|
|
|
650 -- completion-list-mode is actually defined using `define-derived-mode',
|
|
|
651 as a sub-mode of list-mode. edit-faces defines another sub-mode
|
|
|
652 of list-mode.
|
|
|
653 -- some patches from Darrell Kindred.
|
|
|
654 -- new specifier `text-cursor-visible-p' controls whether the cursor
|
|
|
655 is visible.
|
|
|
656 -- new face `text-cursor' controls the colors of the text cursor.
|
|
|
657 -- New file `gui.el' defining some functions useful for GUI stuff,
|
|
|
658 e.g. creating dialog frames and buttons.
|
|
|
659 -- The function `extent-at' now takes an argument AT-FLAG controlling
|
|
|
660 what it means for an extent to be "at" a position. `get-char-property'
|
|
|
661 and `get-text-property' also take that argument.
|
|
|
662 -- `display-completion-list' has been changed to take key-type optional
|
|
|
663 arguments. There are keys for controlling the activation callback,
|
|
|
664 the help string displayed, the window width, and other things.
|
|
|
665 -- New text-property functions `text-property-bounds' and
|
|
|
666 `next-text-property-bounds' facilitate looking for stretches of
|
|
|
667 specially-marked text. This supersedes the common, error-prone
|
|
|
668 loops involving `next-single-property-change', `map-extents', etc.
|
|
|
669 (I thought long and hard about the end cases.)
|
|
|
670 -- `frame-visible-p' now actually queries the window system, so it
|
|
|
671 is always accurate without the need for weird kludges like
|
|
|
672 `accept-process-output'.
|
|
|
673
|
|
|
674 MISC CHANGES:
|
|
|
675
|
|
|
676 -- Glyph and keymap lispref documentation should now be accurate
|
|
|
677 and up-to-date.
|
|
|
678 -- XEmacs uses sigsetjmp(foo, 0) when possible; this avoids lots
|
|
|
679 of sigprocmask() system calls that were happening.
|
|
|
680
|
|
|
681 to 20.0 beta14
|
|
60
|
682
|
|
70
|
683 -- w3 2.3.32
|
|
|
684 -- XEmacs has a pseudo-file-dialog-box that gets invoked when you
|
|
|
685 choose a menu entry that prompts for a filename. The code that
|
|
|
686 implements it is in `mouse-read-file-name-1' in minibuf.el.
|
|
|
687 It's a pretty cheesy-ass function but it gets the job done.
|
|
|
688 It clearly needs some work; beta testers out there are encouraged
|
|
|
689 to help here. (hint, hint)
|
|
|
690 -- there were some missing UNGCPRO's that might have led to weird
|
|
|
691 crashes.
|
|
|
692 -- Much improved xemacs-internals. More is coming.
|
|
|
693 -- lots of improvements to the Lispref documentation, e.g. the general
|
|
|
694 section on objects is now actually more or less correct.
|
|
|
695 -- "cursor glyphs" and "cursor image instances" now use the term
|
|
|
696 "pointer" instead of "cursor".
|
|
|
697 -- new profiling code. See `start-profiling', `stop-profiling',
|
|
|
698 `clear-profiling', `pretty-print-profiling-info', etc.
|
|
|
699 This uses a SIGPROF so it's only as accurate as your system timer
|
|
|
700 (100Hz under Linux on the x86; may be different on other systems).
|
|
|
701 -- I have tried hard to minimize the amount of allocation that happens
|
|
|
702 as a result of normal activities. For example, `save-window-excursion'
|
|
|
703 and `save-excursion' no longer result in any allocation in most
|
|
|
704 circumstances.
|
|
|
705 -- New variable `debug-allocation'. If you set this to non-zero, you
|
|
|
706 will get a record on stderr of every time that any allocation occurs,
|
|
|
707 and a short backtrace will accompany it (controlled by
|
|
|
708 `debug-allocation-backtrace-length'). Normally, set this to 1;
|
|
|
709 if you set this greater than 1, you'll also see the "noseeum" allocations
|
|
|
710 that happen internally and are later undone (thus causing no net
|
|
|
711 allocation).
|
|
|
712 -- byte-code objects print more sanely. They also have an "annotation"
|
|
|
713 field indicating where they came from.
|
|
|
714 -- problem with lazy-lock sucking away idle time should be gone.
|
|
|
715 -- problem with mouse highlight not appearing may be gone.
|
|
|
716 -- problem with "interactive `e'" incorrect is fixed.
|
|
|
717 -- you can set and access all specifier and glyph variables using
|
|
|
718 frame properties.
|
|

|
722 -- mode-motion+.el 3.15
|
|
|
723 -- hm--html-menus 4.16
|
|
|
724 -- ediff 2.54
|
|
|
725 -- viper 2.85
|
|
|
726 -- w3 2.3.30
|
|
|
727 -- url 1.0.13
|
|
|
728 -- nil is once again a valid color instantiator
|
|
|
729 -- 'make install' in a clean workspace should now work correctly.
|
|
|
730 -- Fixed a bug where using proportional fonts for the default face resulted
|
|
|
731 in an extra-wide frame.
|
|
|
732 -- Fixed wrong-type-argument error when using 'delete window above' from
|
|
|
733 modeline menu.
|
|
|
734 -- Fixed error when loading nroff-mode.
|
|
|
735 -- Fixed crash caused by this:
|
|
|
736 (setq toolbar-file-icon '(blah)), then C-x b foo RET
|
|
|
737 -- Error signaled if you try to create a frame with a `.' in the name.
|
|
|
738 -- frame size changes which occur while a tty-mode XEmacs is suspended are
|
|
|
739 now handled.
|
|
|
740 -- super-apropos is now apropos-documentation ; Help menu has been changed
|
|
|
741 -- tooltalk patch to allow setting of message disposition attribute (from
|
|
|
742 Hans Muller)
|
|
|
743 -- user-mail-address patch from Russell Ritchie
|
|
|
744 -- DEC OSF 4.0 patch from Manoj Srivastava
|
|
|
745 -- new specifiers default-toolbar-height, default-toolbar-width,
|
|
|
746 default-toolbar-visible-p, and {top,bottom,left,right}-toolbar-visible-p.
|
|
|
747 The new default specifiers work like default-toolbar: for whichever of
|
|
|
748 the four positions is the default-toolbar-position, the corresponding
|
|
|
749 specifiers foo-toolbar, foo-toolbar-{height,width}, foo-toolbar-visible-p
|
|
|
750 inherit from the appropriate defaults if no value is given. I also redid
|
|
|
751 the toolbar size-handling code. This appears to fix the weird problems
|
|
|
752 Kyle noticed with VM and the prev/next window config buttons, and might
|
|
|
753 have fixed that elusive VM phantom toolbar bug.
|
|
|
754
|
|
|
755 to 20.0 beta12
|
|
|
756
|
|
|
757 -- gnus 5.0.15
|
|
|
758 -- cc-mode 4.281
|
|
|
759 -- now works in TTY mode, yay.
|
|
|
760 -- removed ill-conceived FSF Emacs post-command-idle-hook (added to
|
|
|
761 XEmacs in an earlier beta). Replaced it with pre-idle-hook.
|
|
|
762 lazy-lock now uses this.
|
|
|
763 -- added frame-modified-tick for use by lazy-lock.
|
|
|
764 -- cursor overhaul is here. Cursors are now specifiers. Should make
|
|
|
765 them work properly on multiple devices. Not working quite yet:
|
|
|
766 colored cursors. I'll get to these.
|
|
|
767 -- various fixes, e.g. to font-lock.
|
|
|
768 -- cc-mode 4.280
|
|
|
769 -- dialog boxes work again. (e.g. Save-some-buffers from the File menu
|
|
|
770 works and uses the new-improved map-ynp stuff.)
|
|
|
771 -- I changed `set-specifier' so that it works more sensibly
|
|
|
772 (like `set-face-property' -- it takes a separate LOCALE and
|
|
|
773 TAG-SET argument, although the old way of specifying things
|
|
|
774 still works) and rewrote the incomprehensible gibberish that
|
|
|
775 masqueraded as its documentation so that it actually makes
|
|
|
776 sense now, even to someone who's not especially familiar with
|
|
|
777 specifiers.
|
|
|
778
|
|
|
779 to 20.0 beta11
|
|
|
780
|
|
|
781 -- follow.el 1.5
|
|
|
782 -- oo-browser 2.9.11
|
|
|
783 -- hyperbole 4.01
|
|
|
784 -- w3 2.3.28
|
|
|
785 -- pretty much all reported bugs for the last betas should be fixed.
|
|
|
786 -- event crash from "M-x followed by mouse click" fixed.
|
|
|
787 -- fixed a nastily subtle bug in `kill-all-local-variables' that has
|
|
|
788 been around since mly's symbol rewrite some two years ago. This
|
|
|
789 bug could potentially have resulted in all sorts of inconsistent
|
|
|
790 and difficult-to-track behavioral problems.
|
|
|
791 -- fixed another nastily subtle bug that had to do with extent
|
|
|
792 parents/children. This feature should finally work correctly now,
|
|
|
793 because it's actually being used (in the modeline).
|
|
|
794 -- exported weak list interface (new functions `weak-list-p',
|
|
|
795 `make-weak-list', `weak-list-type', `weak-list-list',
|
|
|
796 `set-weak-list-list') so I could test it -- it's used in extents
|
|
|
797 to fix that nastily subtle bug just mentioned.
|
|
|
798 -- I removed the disgusting "feature" of being able to use `elt',
|
|
|
799 `concat', `length', etc. on compiled-function objects, and fixed
|
|
|
800 the small number of places that relied on this. However, if you see
|
|
|
801 an error of the sort
|
|
|
802
|
|
|
803 As of 19.14, `foobar' no longer works with compiled-function objects
|
|
|
804
|
|
|
805 then I missed a place.
|
|
|
806
|
|
|
807 Note that there are accessors `compiled-function-*' for properly
|
|
|
808 accessing the contents of a compiled-function object. These
|
|
|
809 accessors have been around since at least 19.8, so this is not
|
|
|
810 an overly bold change to make.
|
|
58
|
811
|
|
70
|
812 NB: Chuck says the cruddy `aref' stuff is going back into 19.14,
|
|
|
813 but will disappear for good in 19.15.
|
|
|
814 -- you can now dump faces into the dumped XEmacs.
|
|
|
815 -- modeline changes:
|
|
|
816 -- The (GLYPH . KEYMAP) and (FACE . FOO) modeline specs have gone
|
|
|
817 away. In place of this, use (EXTENT . FOO). The face, keymap,
|
|
|
818 and help-echo properties of the extent are noticed. Nested
|
|
|
819 keymaps are handled correctly, but not nested faces as yet.
|
|
|
820 See `modeline-format' and `generated-modeline-string' for
|
|
|
821 details about how this all works. It's way cool.
|
|
|
822 -- colored sections of the modeline generally indicate that you can
|
|
|
823 "do something" with button2 or button3. button2 does something
|
|
|
824 immediately while button3 brings up a menu. (Clicking button2
|
|
|
825 on a non-colored section of the modeline does nothing, while
|
|
|
826 clicking button3 there brings up the standard modeline menu.)
|
|
|
827 -- clicking button2 on the "read-only" marker toggles read-only status.
|
|
|
828 -- clicking button2 on the right half of the buffer ID (the part that
|
|
|
829 says " foobar.c") cycles to the next buffer.
|
|
|
830 -- clicking button2 on the left half of the buffer ID (the part that
|
|
|
831 says "XEmacs:") cycles to the previous buffer.
|
|
|
832 -- clicking button3 anywhere on the buffer ID brings up a Buffers
|
|
|
833 menu.
|
|
|
834 -- clicking button2 on the ID strings of certain minor modes turns
|
|
|
835 them off (such modes are displayed in green instead of red).
|
|
|
836 ("Certain minor modes" means minor modes that correctly call
|
|
|
837 `add-minor-mode' to announce themselves instead of just
|
|
|
838 smashing minor-mode-alist directly. I've fixed some modes to
|
|
|
839 do this.)
|
|
|
840 -- clicking button3 on any mode ID string brings up a menu that lets
|
|
|
841 you toggle certain minor modes. (#### Should also let you change
|
|
|
842 the major mode. How do you get a list of all major modes that
|
|
|
843 exist, sans the uninteresting ones?)
|
|
|
844 -- clicking button2 on the "Narrow" string of a narrowed buffer
|
|
|
845 widens the buffer.
|
|
|
846 -- help-echo is given for all button2 actions.
|
|
|
847 -- save-options wraps its outputted forms in (if (featurep 'foo)) to
|
|
|
848 make sure that your .emacs will load OK in a differently-featured
|
|
|
849 XEmacs from what you saved the options in.
|
|
|
850 -- new function `set-face-parent' for properly making one face inherit
|
|
|
851 all attributes from another.
|
|
|
852 -- `set-extent-endpoints' can be used to move an extent from one
|
|
|
853 buffer to another.
|
|
|
854 -- semi-new function `event-glyph' returns the glyph underneath an
|
|
|
855 extent.
|
|
|
856 -- fixed bug in `recover-session' ... tsk tsk beta testers.
|
|
|
857 -- new function `mapc' -- like mapcar but doesn't accumulate results.
|
|
|
858 -- switched back to newer version of paragraphs.el; corrected
|
|
|
859 filladapt.el to mesh properly with it.
|
|
|
860 -- now autodetects -lgdbm as well as -ldbm, and uses the appropriate
|
|
|
861 one. The --with-database option takes a comma-separated list
|
|
|
862 of one or more of "dbm", "gnudbm", and "berkdb", or "no" to
|
|
|
863 disable.
|
|
|
864 -- autodetects png, both with -lz and -lgz. You can explicitly
|
|
|
865 call for png with -lgz using --with-png=gnuz.
|
|
|
866 -- autodetects libXmu absence.
|
|
|
867 -- configure option for NO_UNION_TYPE enabling/disabling provided.
|
|
|
868 It's called --use-union-type. WARNING: GCC (esp. 2.6.0, 2.6.3,
|
|
|
869 2.7.0) will probably fuck up and generate incorrect code if
|
|
|
870 you use this option.
|
|
|
871 -- finally repaired the grievous damage that is `frame-parameters' --
|
|
|
872 use `frame-property', `frame-properties', `set-frame-property',
|
|
|
873 and `set-frame-properties' instead. `frame-parameters' and
|
|
|
874 `modify-frame-parameters' are still supported but obsolete.
|
|
|
875
|
|
|
876 "Frame properties" are not only a different interface but actually
|
|
|
877 let you store arbitrary properties along with a frame, and
|
|
|
878 retrieve them later.
|
|
|
879
|
|
|
880 `frame-property' is much more efficient than `frame-parameters'
|
|
|
881 because it is non-consing.
|
|
|
882 -- new functions `alist-to-plist', `plist-to-alist',
|
|
|
883 `destructive-alist-to-plist', and `destructive-plist-to-alist'
|
|
|
884 to make it easier for you to convert between alists and plists,
|
|
|
885 such as you might do with frame properties/parameters.
|
|
|
886 -- A whole host of new functions for working with plists.
|
|
|
887 There is also a parallel set of these functions for "lax plists",
|
|
|
888 which are plists where comparison between keys is done with `equal'
|
|
|
889 instead of `eq'. (Frame property plists are this way because the
|
|
|
890 keys can be strings.)
|
|
|
891 -- The monstrous spawn-of-hell function `display-buffer' has been
|
|
|
892 moved into Lisp, so you can play around with it if you want
|
|
|
893 to.
|
|
|
894 -- New functions `push-window-configuration', `pop-window-configuration',
|
|
|
895 `unpop-window-configuration'. The latter two implement a
|
|
|
896 Netscape-like forward/back movement through window configurations.
|
|
|
897 `display-buffer' automatically pushes a window config if anything
|
|
|
898 changes as a result of the call, so you can easily undo the results
|
|
|
899 of asking for help and such with just a mouse click.

903 -- The dreaded FSF dynamic byte-compile format is here. It is *NOT*

904 repeat *NOT* enabled by default for 19.14, so it's not gonna
|
|
|
905 break anything. It *IS* yes that's right *IS* the default for
|
|
|
906 20.0. (Both kinds of dynamic byte-compiling are the default
|
|
|
907 for 20.0.) Therefore, files you compile using 20.0 won't be
|
|
|
908 readable under versions before 19.14 unless you set
|
|
|
909 `byte-compile-dynamic' and `byte-compile-dynamic-docstrings'
|
|
|
910 to nil before compiling. Note that 19.14 will recognize
|
|
|
911 and correctly read dynamic byte-compiled files (whether compiled
|
|
|
912 by 20.0, 19.14, or FSF 19.29 or above), even though it won't
|
|
|
913 generate them by default. (You have to set one or both of

914 those variables just mentioned to non-nil if you want this.)

934 -- font-lock basically synched with 19.30.
|
|
|
935 LISTEN UP: I changed the way font-lock faces are initialized. It
|
|
|
936 now takes advantage of the specifier stuff added in 19.12, and sets
|
|
|
937 up color defaults for color machines and non-color defaults for
|
|
|
938 non-color machines. The defaults are added with `append', which
|
|
|
939 means that if you add your own values, they'll override the defaults
|
|
|
940 regardless of when you do it.
|
|
|
941
|
|
|
942 SO: Please try temporarily disabling all your font-lock customizations
|
|
|
943 and comment on what you think of the new defaults.
|
|
|
944 -- major DUH factor. The cause of the 10%-CPU-usage-while-XEmacs-is-idle
|
|
|
945 was that the "quarter-second timer" was actually set to fire
|
|
|
946 1000 times per second. I think I must have changed this at one
|
|
|
947 point to debug something, and never set it back. Oops ...
|
|
|
948 If you set `debug-emacs-events' to non-zero on a Linux or IRIX
|
|
|
949 machine, you'll now see blank eval events going by at a reasonable
|
|
|
950 rate (4 times per second) instead of spewing out like water from
|
|
|
951 a firehose.

956 -- latest apropos.el from 19.30. Implements some of what Hyper-Apropos does.
|
|
|
957 Maybe we should junk apropos.el or integrate the two.
|
|
|
958 -- `display-buffer' synched with FSF 19.30. This gives you the following
|

960 -- unsplittable frames
|

|
|
965 -- finally! C-h k followed by a toolbar button press correctly reports
|
|
|
966 the binding of the toolbar button.
|
|
|
967 -- fixed problems with toolbar buttons remaining activated or C-g being
|
|
|
968 pressed during minibuffer prompting of (e.g.) toolbar Replace or Open
|
|
|
969 -- fixed "Error setting GC pointer" problems.
|
|
|
970 -- text-property problems reported by Alastair Burt fixed.
|
|
|
971 -- ediff minibuffer weirdness fixed. Surrogate minibuffers are working.
|
|
|
972 -- ~ has electric behavior like / in minibuffer. Both of these can be
|
|
|
973 inhibited by setting `minibuffer-electric-file-name-behavior' to nil.
|

|
|
|
978 -- the kludgy completion-tracking behavior that looks for completions
|
|
|
979 under the mouse has been disabled. If you want it back, set
|
|
|
980 `minibuffer-smart-completion-tracking-behavior'. This does *not*
|
|
|
981 affect the normal ability to click on a completion in the
|
|
|
982 *Completions* buffer. Turning this off should also fix the obnoxious
|
|
|
983 "mouse motion causes ange-ftp action" bug.
|

984 -- ported latest map-ynp.el. Used by `save-some-buffers'.
|

999 in XEmacs, just no configure option.

1002 -- new variable debug-emacs-events. Set to non-zero to have all events
|
|
|
1003 seen by XEmacs output on stderr. (From this, I know what's going on --
|
|
|
1004 it's the 1/4 second timers for when SIGIO and/or SIGCHLD are broken.
|
|
|
1005 It can be fixed, but not until the next beta ...)
|
|
|
1006 -- overriding-terminal-local-map and other oddities from FSF.
|

1007 -- added some of the necessary C support for lazy-lock v2.
|
|
|
1008 -- ange-ftp works around a Linux FTP problem where it outputs escape
|
|
|
1009 sequences to highlight the ftp prompt, which messes things up.
|
|
|
1010 -- I changed a couple ange-ftp defaults:
|
|
|
1011 -- ange-ftp-generate-anonymous-password is t. I see no reason
|
|
|
1012 why you should have to type in a password here.
|
|
|
1013 -- ange-ftp-default-user is "anonymous". This one is more
|
|
|
1014 debatable, but I think it's a lot more logical (more like
|
|
|
1015 ncftp, too) and follows the Principle of Least Surprise.
|
|
|
1016 Differing opinions (except from Kyle Jones :) are welcome.
|
|
|
1017 -- Info menu now properly disappears when you exit Info.
|
|
|
1018 -- new functions frame-leftmost-window, frame-rightmost-window.
|
|
|
1019 -- next-frame and previous-frame have been expanded and unkludgified
|
|
|
1020 to allow you more control over which frames are considered.
|
|
|
1021 -- Bill Perry's GIF and PNG patches are included.
|
|
|
1022 -- Various patches for the DEC Alpha and other beta-list patches
|
|
|
1023 are in place.
|
|
|
1024 -- function to access the raw window tree have been added:
|
|
|
1025 window-first-hchild, window-first-vchild, window-next-child,
|
|
|
1026 window-previous-child, window-parent. These let you implement
|
|
|
1027 frame-leftmost-window and lots of similar functions.
|
|
|
1028 -- XEmacs should be more robust about dying properly when crashes
|
|
|
1029 occur.
|
|
|
1030 -- you can compile with Epoch support. (Actually, you could in the
|
|
|
1031 previous beta, too.) The main thing this gets you is direct
|
|
|
1032 access to some X events and objects (e.g. properties and
|
|
|
1033 property-notify events).
|
|
|
1034 -- you can set initial-frame-alist in your .emacs, and XEmacs will
|
|
|
1035 notice this and change the initial frame accordingly.
|
|
|
1036 -- major revamping of the multi-device support:
|
|
|
1037 -- there is a new type of object called a "console". A console
|
|
|
1038 groups together devices that have the same keyboard/mouse.
|
|
|
1039 A "device" now corresponds to an X "Screen", while a "console"
|
|
|
1040 corresponds to an X "display". You don't need to explicitly
|
|
|
1041 create a console; it's created as necessary when you create
|
|
|
1042 a device.
|
|
|
1043 -- device-local variables have become console-local variables.
|
|
|
1044 -- "device types" are now "console types", although functions
|
|
|
1045 that speak of "device types" and "frame types" are defined
|
|
|
1046 as aliases.
|
|
|
1047 -- devices are no longer permanent objects, but remain around
|
|
|
1048 only so long as there are frames on the device. Consoles
|
|
|
1049 behave similarly. (#### not implemented yet; wait for
|
|
|
1050 next beta)
|
|
|
1051 -- Devices and consoles have a generalized concept of a
|
|
|
1052 "connection", which describes what they are connected to
|
|
|
1053 (e.g. a DISPLAY for an X console, a tty name for a TTY
|
|
|
1054 console). Calling `make-device' on an existing connection
|
|
|
1055 returns an existing device and/or console rather than
|
|
|
1056 creating a new one. The code is also quite smart about
|
|
|
1057 determining whether a connection refers to an existing
|
|
|
1058 device or console; e.g. if your machine name is "nene.666.com"
|
|
|
1059 alias "wing.vip.best.com" address 204.156.158.101, then

|
1309 languages / charsets. Astute observers will notice two problems:
|
|
|
1310 (1) Half of the Thai characters don't show up. That's because
|
|
|
1311 composite characters still aren't displayed properly.
|
|
|
1312 (2) The Arabic and Hebrew characters go backwards from the way
|
|
|
1313 they should. (Guess why?)
|
|
|
1314 -- error-handling behavior in Mule decoding (e.g. unknown charset)
|
|
|
1315 should be much better. The goal here is that there should never be
|
|
|
1316 any information lossage when a file is read in, decoded, encoded
|
|
|
1317 again, and written out. If escape sequences get transformed into
|
|
|
1318 some other equivalent escape sequence, that is OK; but if they
|
|
|
1319 get eaten, that is not OK.
|
|

1320 -- translation tables are handled consistently (note, I didn't say
|
|
|
1321 "correctly") under Mule. Doing them correctly is very difficult
|
|
|
1322 so I'm punting for now. Basically, under Mule, `upcase' and
|
|
|
1323 `downcase' (and related) work correctly with translation tables
|
|
|
1324 but the string/buffer-searching routines will ignore translations
|
|
|
1325 that map to or from a character not in the seven-bit ASCII
|
|
|
1326 range -- thus `case-fold-search' will not correctly conflate
|
|
|
1327 a-umlaut and A-umlaut. This sucks, but it's better than the
|
|
|
1328 alternative (weird results and possible crashes).

1346 NOTE: Syntax tables are *NOT* vectors any more but are their own

1347 abstract `char-table' type. As such, some (broken) code is going
|
|
|
1348 to break. (Typical error: "wrong type argument: sequencep,
|
|
|
1349 #<syntax-char-table ...>".) I've already had to patch cc-mode,
|
|
|
1350 font-lock, mail-abbrevs, and symbol-syntax, and edebug, mim-syntax,

1412 The Way It Should Have Always Been. This change is necessary for

1413 byte-code portability under Mule and follows the Common Lisp model
|
|
|
1414 of not needlessly confounding separate types, as is (unfortunately)
|
|
|
1415 the fashion under E-Lisp. Characters print as characters using the
|
|
|
1416 evil yucky GNU Emacs character syntax (e.g. ?a) rather than as
|
|
|
1417 integers; this is the essence of the byte-code portability. In
|
|
|
1418 deference to existing E-Lisp code, the following concessions are made:
|
|
|
1419
|
|
|
1420 -- characters are represented directly; `eq' works on them.
|
|
|
1421 (Yuck! This may be a problem if I ever want to add additional
|
|
|
1422 information to characters.)
|
|
|
1423 -- the comparison functions (<, =, etc) and arithmetic functions
|
|
|
1424 (+, -, etc) accept characters and silently convert them to
|
|
|
1425 integers. (This is semi-hateful but necessary for compatibility.)
|
|
|
1426 -- functions that properly accept characters (e.g. char-to-string)
|
|
|
1427 also accept integers and silently convert them to characters.
|
|
|
1428

1430 that are the proper way of comparing characters.

1431 -- The function `eq' has been infected with a heretofore-unknown virus

1432 known as the "char-int confoundance disease". The CDC has been

1433 warned, but in this case the cure (require that all existing .elc
|
|
|
1434 files in the whole world be re-byte-compiled) is a lot worse than
|
|
|
1435 the disease. Their recommendation is to use the new function
|
|
|
1436 `really-eq' if you really need to distinguish between chars and ints.
|
|
|
1437 Be warned, however, that this will run slower in byte-compiled code
|
|
|
1438 because there is no opcode for `really-eq'.
|
|
|
1439 -- Similar infections have happened to `equal' (with a corresponding

|
|

1441 `rassq', `remassq', `remrassq' and corresponding `equal'
|
|
|
1442 equivalents. The functions `puthash' and `put-range-table' have

1444 of a compatibility problem here.

1447 PLEASE do the following for as many different packages as you can:
|

1448 (1) try it out to make sure there's no obviously strange behavior

|
|
|
1451 strange behavior, like prefix arguments not working
|
|

1452 (yes, this did happen).
|
|
|
1453 (2) re-byte-compile all the files in the package
|
|
|
1454 (3) repeat step #1. Look especially hard this time because
|
|
|
1455 the errors are more likely to occur this time.

1465 WARNING WARNING WARNING:
|
|
|
1466 (a) You cannot compile files with extended characters in them
|
|
|
1467 (e.g. lisp/mule/japanese-hooks.el) using a version of XEmacs
|
|
|
1468 not compiled with Mule.
|
|
|
1469 (b) If you compile such a file using XEmacs/Mule and attempt to
|
|
|
1470 load it into a version of XEmacs not compiled with Mule,
|
|
|
1471 you will get extremely random and undesirable results even
|
|
|
1472 if you don't get a read error. The reason for this is that
|
|
|
1473 a special encoding is used to allow arbitrary binary characters
|
|
|
1474 to co-exist with the control characters used to change
|
|
|
1475 the encoding state. Normal E-Lisp files compiled under
|
|
|
1476 XEmacs/Mule should work under a non-Mule XEmacs because the
|
|
|
1477 special encoding will not be used in this case.
|
|
|
1478 At some point I would like to remove these gotchas but this will
|
|
|
1479 require adding some smarts to the non-Mule XEmacs to be able to
|
|
|
1480 at least partially handle the special encodings used.

|
|
|
1484 testers will notice that the Thai one doesn't work yet; that

1504
|
|
|
1505 In order for this to work, you have to have the proper Japanese
|
|
|
1506 fonts installed (see below), or XEmacs will abort. (This will be fixed.)
|
|
|
1507
|
|
|
1508 Soon, the decoding will happen automatically upon loading.

1510 Note also: IT MIGHT NOT CURRENTLY WORK TO BYTE-COMPILE FILES UNDER

|
1516 Note finally: You may get read errors trying to byte-compile the
|
|
|
1517 Mule files under the non-Mule Xemacs. I have not yet come up with
|
|
|
1518 a general solution to this problem. (I'm not convinced such a
|
|
|
1519 solution even exists; byte-compiling could cause arbitrary code
|
|
|
1520 to be executed, which will surely fail if the code uses Mule-
|
|
|
1521 specific features.)
|
|
|
1522 -- We now may have the world's largest collection of FTP-able
|
|
|
1523 international X11 fonts. Look in cs.uiuc.edu:/pub/xemacs/beta/fonts.
|
|
|
1524 See the README file for directions on installing the fonts. There
|
|
|
1525 is also the potential for generating loads and loads more of these
|
|
|
1526 fonts, by converting MetaFont fonts.
|
|
|
1527 -- It is now possible to build simultaneously in the source directories
|
|
|
1528 and in a separate build location, provided you have GNU make and
|
|
|
1529 supply the `--with-gnu-make' option to configure.
|
|
|
1530 -- Support for bit vectors is now provided. Bit vectors are like regular
|
|
|
1531 vectors except that the only allowed values for elements are 0 and 1,
|
|
|
1532 and they are stored internally using bit fields instead of arrays
|
|
|
1533 of 32-bit values, making them much less heavyweight. New primitives
|
|
|
1534 for working with bit vectors are `bit-vector', `make-bit-vector',
|
|
|
1535 `bit-vector-p', and `bvconcat' (equivalents of `vector', `make-vector',
|
|
|
1536 `vectorp' and `vconcat'). All other vector primitives should work
|
|
|
1537 fine with bit vectors.
|
|
|
1538 -- new specifier functions `specifier-matching-instance',
|
|
|
1539 `specifier-matching-instance-from-inst-list', and
|
|
|
1540 `valid-specifier-matchspec-p', for working with fonts in XEmacs/Mule.
|
|
|
1541 These same functions could be used to provide much more flexible
|
|
|
1542 handling of display tables and the like, and this work may get done
|
|
|
1543 if there is demand for it.
|
|
|
1544 -- The handling of PURESIZE has been fixed up. There is no longer
|
|
|
1545 special stuff needed in m/alpha.h. Alpha users may need to tweak
|
|
|
1546 with puresize.h.
|
|
|
1547 -- You can now build statically on Linux. Doing this will allow you
|
|
|
1548 to get proper backtraces. (Shared libraries are typically built
|
|
|
1549 -fomit-frame-pointer, which screws everything up.)
|
|
|
1550 -- I have removed almost all of the MAC_* stuff and replaced it with
|
|
|
1551 inline functions. configure attempts to detect whether your compiler
|
|
|
1552 supports `inline'. However, if your compiler does support it
|
|
|
1553 but is not GCC, you should look at how I've done things and see
|
|
|
1554 if it meshes with your compiler. Basically, GCC has a nice feature
|
|
|
1555 where you can declare a function `extern inline' and stick it in
|
|
|
1556 a header file. This will cause the inline declaration to be
|
|
|
1557 used if the function can be inlined, and an external reference to
|
|
|
1558 be generated otherwise. Then, you define the function just
|
|
|
1559 `inline' in one single file (inline.c). This is superior to the
|
|
|
1560 method of declaring all inline functions as `static inline', which
|
|
|
1561 could leave a separate copy of each function in lots of source
|
|
|
1562 files. However, I'm not sure if non-GCC compilers support this.
|
|
|
1563 Please read your compiler's documentation and fix up the definition
|
|
|
1564 of INLINE in config.h.in accordingly.
|
|
|
1565
|
|
|
1566 Also, there may be functions that would really benefit from inlining,
|
|
|
1567 which you can sometimes specify as an option to your compiler.
|
|
|
1568 We will have Quantify information on this.
|
|
|
1569 -- XEmacs now uses the v19 regex routines instead of the v18 regex
|
|
|
1570 routines. Speed should not be significantly different due to the
|
|
|
1571 non-Posix-backtracking default. If you want the full Posix
|
|
|
1572 backtracking, use the functions `posix-looking-at', `posix-string-match',
|
|
|
1573 etc. (Be warned that this may be significantly slower.) Note also
|
|
|
1574 that the fishy problems may be forever banished.
|
|
|
1575
|
|
|
1576 NOTE: The v19 regex routines do reallocs using rel-alloc if it is
|
|
|
1577 available; God only knows why. If you notice some weird hiccups in
|
|
|
1578 the regex routines, this is a likely culprit. Someone might want to
|
|
|
1579 try putting '#undef REL_ALLOC' at the top of regex.c or something.
|
|
|
1580 RMS also claims that much of the stuff that's going on here (recording
|
|
|
1581 backtracking points) is only necessary for full Posix backtracking,
|
|
|
1582 and thus we should be able to disable it in the normal (non-Posix)
|
|
|
1583 case.
|
|
|
1584 -- XEmacs now caches compiled regexps. This may speed up regex searching.
|
|
|
1585 -- `replace-match' now takes a fourth argument STRING that allows for
|
|
|
1586 replacement in a string instead of a buffer.
|
|
|
1587 -- new functions `upcase-initials' and `upcase-initials-region' from
|
|
|
1588 FSF Emacs 19.29.
|
|
|
1589 -- match data is automatically saved and restored while a process filter
|
|
|
1590 or sentinel is running.
|
|
|
1591 -- new type "char-table". A char table is for indexing characters and
|
|
|
1592 is intended to be an extension/generalization of syntax tables,
|
|
|
1593 display tables, case tables, category tables (a new kind of beast
|
|
|
1594 allowing classifications of characters into categories for regexp
|
|
|
1595 lookup, useful esp. for Mule), etc. You can set values for
|
|
|
1596 an entire charset and for individual rows of a charset. Adding
|
|
|
1597 and looking up values occurs in constant time.
|
|
|
1598 -- new type "range-table". A range table efficiently indexes ranges of
|
|
|
1599 integers to values.
|
|
|
1600 -- new modeline spec '%C'; displays a mnemonic string for the
|
|
|
1601 file-coding-system, under Mule.
|
|
|
1602 -- new function `device-on-window-system-p'; clean way of determining
|
|
|
1603 whether mouse, glyph, etc. support is likely to be available on this
|
|
|
1604 device.
|
|
|
1605 #### We really need individual feature-test functions.
|
|
|
1606 -- new dialog-box functions `get-dialog-box-response' (like the misnamed
|
|
|
1607 `x-popup-dialog' FSFmacs function), `message-box' (like the FSFmacs
|
|
|
1608 function), and `message-or-box' (like the FSFmacs function).
