345 At the time of the inception of Lucid Emacs (the former name
|
|
|
346 of XEmacs), Lucid's latest product was Energize, a C/C++
|
|
|
347 development environment. Rather than invent (and force our
|
|
|
348 users to learn) a new user interface, we chose to build part
|
|
|
349 of our environment on top of the world's best editor, GNU
|
|
|
350 Emacs. (Though our product is commercial, the work we did on
|
|
|
351 GNU Emacs is free software, and is useful in its own right.)
|
|
|
352
|
|
|
353 We needed a version of Emacs with mouse-sensitive regions,
|
|
|
354 multiple fonts, the ability to mark sections of a buffer as
|
|
88
|
355 read-only, the ability to detect which parts of a buffer have
|
|
0
|
356 been modified, and many other features.
|
|
|
357
|
|
|
358 For our purposes, the existing version of Epoch was not
|
|
|
359 sufficient; it did not allow us to put arbitrary pixmaps/icons
|
|
|
360 in buffers, `undo' did not restore changes to regions, regions
|
|
|
361 did not overlap and merge their attributes in the way we needed,
|
|
|
362 and several other things.
|
|
|
363
|
|
|
364 We could have devoted our time to making Epoch do what we needed
|
|
|
365 (and, in fact, we spent some time doing that in 1990) but, since
|
|
|
366 the FSF planned to include Epoch-like features in their version
|
|
|
367 19, we decided that our efforts would be better spent improving
|
|
|
368 Emacs 19 instead of Epoch.
|
|
|
369
|
|
|
370 Our original hope was that our changes to Emacs would be
|
|
|
371 incorporated into the \"official\" v19. However, scheduling
|
|
|
372 conflicts arose, and we found that, given the amount of work
|
|
|
373 still remaining to be done, we didn't have the time or manpower
|
|
|
374 to do the level of coordination that would be necessary to get
|
|
|
375 our changes accepted by the FSF. Consequently, we released our
|
|
|
376 work as a forked branch of Emacs, instead of delaying any
|
|
|
377 longer.
|
|
|
378
|
|
|
379 Roughly a year after Lucid Emacs 19.0 was released, a beta
|
|
|
380 version of the FSF branch of Emacs 19 was released. The FSF
|
|
|
381 version is better in some areas, and worse in others, as
|
|
|
382 reflects the differing focus of our development efforts.
|
|
|
383
|
|
|
384 We plan to continue developing and supporting Lucid Emacs, and
|
|
|
385 merging in bug fixes and new features from the FSF branch as
|
|
|
386 appropriate; we do not plan to discard any of the functionality
|
|
|
387 that we implemented which RMS has chosen not to include in his
|
|
|
388 version.
|
|
|
389
|
|
|
390 Certain elements of Lucid Emacs, or derivatives of them, have
|
|
|
391 been ported to the FSF version. We have not been doing work in
|
|
|
392 this direction, because we feel that Lucid Emacs has a cleaner
|
|
|
393 and more extensible substrate, and that any kind of merger
|
|
|
394 between the two branches would be far easier by merging the FSF
|
|
|
395 changes into our version than the other way around.
|
|
|
396
|
|
|
397 We have been working closely with the Epoch developers to merge
|
|
|
398 in the remaining Epoch functionality which Lucid Emacs does not
|
|
|
399 yet have. Epoch and Lucid Emacs will soon be one and the same
|
|
|
400 thing. Work is being done on a compatibility package which will
|
|
|
401 allow Epoch 4 code to run in XEmacs with little or no change.")

407 Emacs 18 has been around for a long, long time. Version 19
|
|
|
408 was supposed to be the successor to v18 with X support. It
|
|
|
409 was going to be available \"real soon\" for a long time (some
|
|
0
|
410 people remember hearing about v19 as early as 1984!), but it
|
|
|
411 never came out. v19 development was going very, very slowly,
|
|
|
412 and from the outside it seemed that it was not moving at all.
|
|
|
413 In the meantime other people gave up waiting for v19 and
|
|
88
|
414 decided to build their own X-aware Emacsen. The most
|
|
|
415 important of these was probably Epoch, which came from the
|
|
|
416 University of Illinois (\"UofI\") and was based on v18.

418 Around 1990, the Developer Products group within Sun
|
|
|
419 Microsystems Inc., decided that it wanted an integrated
|
|
|
420 editor. (This group is now known as DevPro. It used to be
|
|
|
421 known as SunPro - the name was changed in mid-1994.) They
|
|
|
422 contracted with the University of Illinois to provide a number
|
|
|
423 of basic enhancements to the functionality in Epoch. UofI
|
|
|
424 initially was planning to deliver this on top of Epoch code.
|
|
0
|
425
|
|
88
|
426 In the meantime, (actually some time before they talked with
|
|
|
427 UofI) Lucid had decided that it also wanted to provide an
|
|
|
428 integrated environment with an integrated editor. Lucid
|
|
|
429 decided that the Version 19 base was a better one than Version
|
|
|
430 18 and thus decided not to use Epoch but instead to work with
|
|
|
431 Richard Stallman, the head of the Free Software Foundation and
|
|
|
432 principal author of Emacs, on getting v19 out. At some point
|
|
|
433 Stallman and Lucid parted ways. Lucid kept working and got a
|
|
|
434 v19 out that they called Lucid Emacs 19.

|
435
|
|
88
|
436 After Lucid's v19 came out it became clear to us (the UofI and
|
|
|
437 Sun) that the right thing to do was to push for an integration
|
|
|
438 of both Lucid Emacs and Epoch, and to get the deliverables
|
|
|
439 that Sun was asking from the University of Illinois on top of
|
|
|
440 this integrated platform. Until 1994, Sun and Lucid both
|
|
|
441 actively supported XEmacs as part of their product suite and
|
|
|
442 invested a comparable amount of effort into it. Substantial
|
|
0
|
443 portions of the current code have originated under the support
|
|
88
|
444 of Sun, either directly within Sun, or at UofI but paid for by
|
|
|
445 Sun. This code was kept away from Lucid for a while, but
|
|
|
446 later was made available to them. Initially Lucid didn't know
|
|
|
447 that Sun was supporting UofI, but later Sun was open about it.

449 Around 1992 DevPro-originated code started showing up in Lucid

450 Emacs, starting with the infusion of the Epoch redisplay code.
|
|
|
451 The separate code bases at Lucid, Sun, and the University of
|
|
|
452 Illinois were merged, allowing a single XEmacs to evolve from

|
|
453 that point on.

0

457 to an agreement to find a name for the product that was not
|

458 specific to either company. An additional constraint that
|
|
|
459 Lucid placed on the name was that it must contain the word
|
|
|
460 \"Emacs\" in it -- thus \"ERA\" was not acceptable. The
|
|
88

461 tentatively agreed-upon name was \"XEmacs\", and this has been

1312 * MULE (Multi-Lingual Emacs) support. Display of multiple
|
|
|
1313 simultaneous character sets is possible.
|
|
|
1314 * Text for complex languages can be entered using the XIM mechanism.
|
|
|
1315 * Localization of menubar text for the Japanese locale.
|
|
|
1316 * A real toolbar.
|
|
|
1317 * Proper integration with Xt and Motif (including Motif menubars
|
|
|
1318 and scrollbars). Motif look-alike menubars and scrollbars
|
|
|
1319 are provided for those systems without real Motif support.
|
|
|
1320 * Face support on TTY's, including color.
|
|
|
1321 * Horizontal and vertical scrollbars in all windows.
|
|
|
1322 * Support for variable-width and variable height fonts.
|
|
|
1323 * Support for display on multiple simultaneous X and/or TTY devices.
|
|
|
1324 * Support for arbitrary pixmaps in a buffer.
|
|
|
1325 * Access to the ToolTalk API.
|
|
|
1326 * Support for using XEmacs frames as Xt widgets.
|
|
|
1327 * Support for overlapping regions (or extents) and efficient handling
|
|
|
1328 of a large number of such extents in a single buffer.
|
|
|
1329 * Powerful, flexible control over the display characteristics
|
|
|
1330 of most of the visual aspects of XEmacs through the use
|
|
|
1331 of specifiers, which allow separate values to be specified
|
|
|
1332 for individual buffers, windows, frames, devices, device classes,
|
|
|
1333 and device types.
