|
|
484 At the time of the inception of Lucid Emacs (the former name of
|
|
485 XEmacs), Lucid's latest product was Energize, a C/C++ development
|
|
486 environment. Rather than invent (and force our users to learn) a new
|
|
487 user interface, we chose to build part of our environment on top of
|
|
488 the world's best editor, GNU Emacs. (Though our product is
|
|
489 commercial, the work we did on GNU Emacs is free software, and is
|
|
490 useful in its own right.)
|
|
491
|
|
492 We needed a version of Emacs with mouse-sensitive regions, multiple
|
|
493 fonts, the ability to mark sections of a buffer as read-only, the
|
|
494 ability to detect which parts of a buffer have been modified, and many
|
|
495 other features.
|
|
496
|
|
497 For our purposes, the existing version of Epoch was not sufficient; it
|
|
498 did not allow us to put arbitrary pixmaps/icons in buffers, `undo' did
|
|
499 not restore changes to regions, regions did not overlap and merge
|
|
500 their attributes in the way we needed, and several other things.
|
|
501
|
|
502 We could have devoted our time to making Epoch do what we needed (and,
|
|
503 in fact, we spent some time doing that in 1990) but, since the FSF
|
|
504 planned to include Epoch-like features in their version 19, we decided
|
|
505 that our efforts would be better spent improving Emacs 19 instead of
|
|
506 Epoch.
|
|
507
|
|
508 Our original hope was that our changes to Emacs would be incorporated
|
|
509 into the \"official\" v19. However, scheduling conflicts arose, and
|
|
510 we found that, given the amount of work still remaining to be done, we
|
|
511 didn't have the time or manpower to do the level of coordination that
|
|
512 would be necessary to get our changes accepted by the FSF.
|
|
513 Consequently, we released our work as a forked branch of Emacs,
|
|
514 instead of delaying any longer.
|
|
515
|
|
516 Roughly a year after Lucid Emacs 19.0 was released, a beta version of
|
|
517 the FSF branch of Emacs 19 was released. The FSF version is better in
|
|
518 some areas, and worse in others, as reflects the differing focus of
|
|
519 our development efforts.
|
|
520
|
|
521 We plan to continue developing and supporting Lucid Emacs, and merging
|
|
522 in bug fixes and new features from the FSF branch as appropriate; we
|
|
523 do not plan to discard any of the functionality that we implemented
|
|
524 which RMS has chosen not to include in his version.
|
|
525
|
|
526 Certain elements of Lucid Emacs, or derivatives of them, have been
|
|
527 ported to the FSF version. We have not been doing work in this
|
|
528 direction, because we feel that Lucid Emacs has a cleaner and more
|
|
529 extensible substrate, and that any kind of merger between the two
|
|
530 branches would be far easier by merging the FSF changes into our
|
|
531 version than the other way around.
|
|
532
|
|
533 We have been working closely with the Epoch developers to merge in the
|
|
534 remaining Epoch functionality which Lucid Emacs does not yet have.
|
|
535 Epoch and Lucid Emacs will soon be one and the same thing. Work is
|
|
536 being done on a compatibility package which will allow Epoch 4 code to
|
|
537 run in XEmacs with little or no change.\n\n"

|
|
541 Emacs 18 has been around for a long, long time. Version 19 was
|
|
542 supposed to be the successor to v18 with X support. It was going to
|
|
543 be available \"real soon\" for a long time (some people remember
|
|
544 hearing about v19 as early as 1984!), but it never came out. v19
|
|
545 development was going very, very slowly, and from the outside it
|
|
546 seemed that it was not moving at all. In the meantime other people
|
|
547 gave up waiting for v19 and decided to build their own X-aware
|
|
548 Emacsen. The most important of these was probably Epoch, which came
|
|
549 from the University of Illinois (\"UofI\") and was based on v18.
|
|
550
|
|
551 Around 1990, the Developer Products group within Sun Microsystems
|
|
552 Inc., decided that it wanted an integrated editor. (This group is now
|
|
553 known as DevPro. It used to be known as SunPro - the name was changed
|
|
554 in mid-1994.) They contracted with the University of Illinois to
|
|
555 provide a number of basic enhancements to the functionality in Epoch.
|
|
556 UofI initially was planning to deliver this on top of Epoch code.
|
|
557
|
|
558 In the meantime, (actually some time before they talked with UofI)
|
|
559 Lucid had decided that it also wanted to provide an integrated
|
|
560 environment with an integrated editor. Lucid decided that the Version
|
|
561 19 base was a better one than Version 18 and thus decided not to use
|
|
562 Epoch but instead to work with Richard Stallman, the head of the Free
|
|
563 Software Foundation and principal author of Emacs, on getting v19 out.
|
|
564 At some point Stallman and Lucid parted ways. Lucid kept working and
|
|
565 got a v19 out that they called Lucid Emacs 19.
|
|
566
|
|
567 After Lucid's v19 came out it became clear to us (the UofI and Sun)
|
|
568 that the right thing to do was to push for an integration of both
|
|
569 Lucid Emacs and Epoch, and to get the deliverables that Sun was asking
|
|
570 from the University of Illinois on top of this integrated platform.
|
|
571 Until 1994, Sun and Lucid both actively supported XEmacs as part of
|
|
572 their product suite and invested a comparable amount of effort into
|
|
573 it. Substantial portions of the current code have originated under
|
|
574 the support of Sun, either directly within Sun, or at UofI but paid
|
|
575 for by Sun. This code was kept away from Lucid for a while, but later
|
|
576 was made available to them. Initially Lucid didn't know that Sun was
|
|
577 supporting UofI, but later Sun was open about it.
|
|
578
|
|
579 Around 1992 DevPro-originated code started showing up in Lucid Emacs,
|
|
580 starting with the infusion of the Epoch redisplay code. The separate
|
|
581 code bases at Lucid, Sun, and the University of Illinois were merged,
|
|
582 allowing a single XEmacs to evolve from that point on.
|
|
583
|
|
584 Sun originally called the integrated product ERA, for \"Emacs
|
|
585 Rewritten Again\". SunPro and Lucid eventually came to an agreement
|
|
586 to find a name for the product that was not specific to either
|
|
587 company. An additional constraint that Lucid placed on the name was
|
|
588 that it must contain the word \"Emacs\" in it -- thus \"ERA\" was not
|
|
589 acceptable. The tentatively agreed-upon name was \"XEmacs\", and this
|
|
590 has been the name of the program since version 19.11.)
|
|
591
|
|
592 As of 1997, Sun is shipping XEmacs as part of its Developer Products
|
|
593 integrated programming environment \"Sun WorkShop\". Sun is
|
|
594 continuing to support XEmacs development, with focus on
|
|
595 internationalization and quality improvement.\n\n"

|
|

|

602

603 Development on XEmacs, however, has continued unabated under the

613 with Japanese companies, and decided in late 1994 to contract out for

614 work on XEmacs in order to hasten the development of Mule support

615 \(i.e. support for Japanese, Chinese, etc.) in XEmacs and as a gesture

616 of goodwill towards the XEmacs community for all the work they have

617 done on making a powerful, modern, freely available text editor.
|
|
618 Through this contract, Amdahl provided a large amount of work in
|
|
619 XEmacs in the form of rewriting the basic text-processing mechanisms
|
|
620 to allow for Mule support and writing a large amount of the support

621 for multiple devices.
