364 At the time of the inception of Lucid Emacs (the former name
|
|
365 of XEmacs), Lucid's latest product was Energize, a C/C++
|
|
366 development environment. Rather than invent (and force our
|
|
367 users to learn) a new user interface, we chose to build part
|
|
368 of our environment on top of the world's best editor, GNU
|
|
369 Emacs. (Though our product is commercial, the work we did on
|
|
370 GNU Emacs is free software, and is useful in its own right.)
|
|
371
|
|
372 We needed a version of Emacs with mouse-sensitive regions,
|
|
373 multiple fonts, the ability to mark sections of a buffer as
|
88
|
374 read-only, the ability to detect which parts of a buffer have
|
0
|
375 been modified, and many other features.
|
|
376
|
|
377 For our purposes, the existing version of Epoch was not
|
|
378 sufficient; it did not allow us to put arbitrary pixmaps/icons
|
|
379 in buffers, `undo' did not restore changes to regions, regions
|
|
380 did not overlap and merge their attributes in the way we needed,
|
|
381 and several other things.
|
|
382
|
|
383 We could have devoted our time to making Epoch do what we needed
|
|
384 (and, in fact, we spent some time doing that in 1990) but, since
|
|
385 the FSF planned to include Epoch-like features in their version
|
|
386 19, we decided that our efforts would be better spent improving
|
|
387 Emacs 19 instead of Epoch.
|
|
388
|
|
389 Our original hope was that our changes to Emacs would be
|
|
390 incorporated into the \"official\" v19. However, scheduling
|
|
391 conflicts arose, and we found that, given the amount of work
|
|
392 still remaining to be done, we didn't have the time or manpower
|
|
393 to do the level of coordination that would be necessary to get
|
|
394 our changes accepted by the FSF. Consequently, we released our
|
|
395 work as a forked branch of Emacs, instead of delaying any
|
|
396 longer.
|
|
397
|
|
398 Roughly a year after Lucid Emacs 19.0 was released, a beta
|
|
399 version of the FSF branch of Emacs 19 was released. The FSF
|
|
400 version is better in some areas, and worse in others, as
|
|
401 reflects the differing focus of our development efforts.
|
|
402
|
|
403 We plan to continue developing and supporting Lucid Emacs, and
|
|
404 merging in bug fixes and new features from the FSF branch as
|
|
405 appropriate; we do not plan to discard any of the functionality
|
|
406 that we implemented which RMS has chosen not to include in his
|
|
407 version.
|
|
408
|
|
409 Certain elements of Lucid Emacs, or derivatives of them, have
|
|
410 been ported to the FSF version. We have not been doing work in
|
|
411 this direction, because we feel that Lucid Emacs has a cleaner
|
|
412 and more extensible substrate, and that any kind of merger
|
|
413 between the two branches would be far easier by merging the FSF
|
|
414 changes into our version than the other way around.
|
|
415
|
|
416 We have been working closely with the Epoch developers to merge
|
|
417 in the remaining Epoch functionality which Lucid Emacs does not
|
|
418 yet have. Epoch and Lucid Emacs will soon be one and the same
|
|
419 thing. Work is being done on a compatibility package which will
|
|
420 allow Epoch 4 code to run in XEmacs with little or no change.")

426 Emacs 18 has been around for a long, long time. Version 19
|
|
427 was supposed to be the successor to v18 with X support. It
|
|
428 was going to be available \"real soon\" for a long time (some
|
0
|
429 people remember hearing about v19 as early as 1984!), but it
|
|
430 never came out. v19 development was going very, very slowly,
|
|
431 and from the outside it seemed that it was not moving at all.
|
|
432 In the meantime other people gave up waiting for v19 and
|
88
|
433 decided to build their own X-aware Emacsen. The most
|
|
434 important of these was probably Epoch, which came from the

|
435 University of Illinois (\"UofI\") and was based on v18.

437 Around 1990, the Developer Products group within Sun
|
|
438 Microsystems Inc., decided that it wanted an integrated
|
|
439 editor. (This group is now known as DevPro. It used to be
|
|
440 known as SunPro - the name was changed in mid-1994.) They
|
|
441 contracted with the University of Illinois to provide a number
|
|
442 of basic enhancements to the functionality in Epoch. UofI
|
|
443 initially was planning to deliver this on top of Epoch code.
|
0
|
444
|
88
|
445 In the meantime, (actually some time before they talked with
|
|
446 UofI) Lucid had decided that it also wanted to provide an
|
|
447 integrated environment with an integrated editor. Lucid
|
|
448 decided that the Version 19 base was a better one than Version
|
|
449 18 and thus decided not to use Epoch but instead to work with
|
|
450 Richard Stallman, the head of the Free Software Foundation and
|
|
451 principal author of Emacs, on getting v19 out. At some point
|
|
452 Stallman and Lucid parted ways. Lucid kept working and got a
|
|
453 v19 out that they called Lucid Emacs 19.

|
454
|
88
|
455 After Lucid's v19 came out it became clear to us (the UofI and
|
|
456 Sun) that the right thing to do was to push for an integration
|
|
457 of both Lucid Emacs and Epoch, and to get the deliverables
|
|
458 that Sun was asking from the University of Illinois on top of
|
|
459 this integrated platform. Until 1994, Sun and Lucid both
|
|
460 actively supported XEmacs as part of their product suite and
|
|
461 invested a comparable amount of effort into it. Substantial
|
0
|
462 portions of the current code have originated under the support
|
88
|
463 of Sun, either directly within Sun, or at UofI but paid for by
|
|
464 Sun. This code was kept away from Lucid for a while, but
|
|
465 later was made available to them. Initially Lucid didn't know
|
|
466 that Sun was supporting UofI, but later Sun was open about it.

467

88

468 Around 1992 DevPro-originated code started showing up in Lucid
|
|
469 Emacs, starting with the infusion of the Epoch redisplay code.
|
|
470 The separate code bases at Lucid, Sun, and the University of
|
|
471 Illinois were merged, allowing a single XEmacs to evolve from
|
|
472 that point on.

474 Sun originally called the integrated product \"ERA\", for

475 \"Emacs Rewritten Again\". Sun and Lucid eventually came

0
|
476 to an agreement to find a name for the product that was not
|
|
477 specific to either company. An additional constraint that
|
|
478 Lucid placed on the name was that it must contain the word
|
|
479 \"Emacs\" in it -- thus \"ERA\" was not acceptable. The
|
88
|
480 tentatively agreed-upon name was \"XEmacs\", and this has been

481 the name of the program since version 19.11.)

1378 * MULE (Multi-Lingual Emacs) support. Display of multiple
|
|
1379 simultaneous character sets is possible.
|
|
1380 * Text for complex languages can be entered using the XIM mechanism.
|
|
1381 * Localization of menubar text for the Japanese locale.
|
|
1382 * A real toolbar.
|
|
1383 * Proper integration with Xt and Motif (including Motif menubars
|
|
1384 and scrollbars). Motif look-alike menubars and scrollbars
|
|
1385 are provided for those systems without real Motif support.
|
|
1386 * Face support on TTY's, including color.
|
|
1387 * Horizontal and vertical scrollbars in all windows.
|
|
1388 * Support for variable-width and variable height fonts.
|
|
1389 * Support for display on multiple simultaneous X and/or TTY devices.
|
|
1390 * Support for arbitrary pixmaps in a buffer.
|
|
1391 * Access to the ToolTalk API.
|
|
1392 * Support for using XEmacs frames as Xt widgets.
|
|
1393 * Support for overlapping regions (or extents) and efficient handling
|
|
1394 of a large number of such extents in a single buffer.
|
|
1395 * Powerful, flexible control over the display characteristics
|
|
1396 of most of the visual aspects of XEmacs through the use
|
|
1397 of specifiers, which allow separate values to be specified
|
|
1398 for individual buffers, windows, frames, devices, device classes,
|
|
1399 and device types.
|
|
1400 * A clean interface to the menubar, window-system events, and key
|
|
1401 combinations."))
