|
|
|
514
|
|
|
515 -- emacs-version for 20.0 now reports 20.0, not 19.20. This is gonna
|
|
|
516 break some packages that do incorrect version tests. Both 19.14
|
|
|
517 and 20.0 now include the function `emacs-version>=' from emacs-vers.el,
|
|
|
518 which is a correct version test function. If you want to use this
|
|
|
519 (highly recommended!), put code in your file like
|
|
|
520
|
|
|
521 (or (fboundp 'emacs-version>=)
|
|
|
522 [copy definition of emacs-version>= from version.el])
|
|
|
523 -- Byte code emitted by XEmacs 20.0 is NOT, repeat NOT, downward
|
|
|
524 compatible. Byte code compiled in any Emacs 19 is upwardly
|
|
|
525 compatible to v20. (For the most part, that is ...) However,
|
|
|
526 you can force v19 compatibility under XEmacs 20 by setting
|
|
|
527 `byte-compile-emacs19-compatibility' to non-nil.
|
|
|
528 -- (This latter change is the result of a better solution to the
|

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

532 USER-VISIBLE CHANGES:

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

584 BUILD-LEVEL CHANGES:
|
|
|
585
|
|
|
586 -- When XEMACS_DEBUG is defined and XEmacs is dumping, the number of
|
|
|
587 bytes of purespace used by each loaded file is displayed.
|
|
|
588 -- Linux no longer defines BROKEN_SIGIO.
|
|
|
589 -- Linux binutils-2.6.0.10 breakage is no longer.
|
|
|
590 -- fixes for building under SunOS.
|
|
|
591 -- configuring without database support now works.
|
|
|
592 -- you can fix up the autoloads using `make autoloads' in the top
|
|
|
593 level directory.
|
|
|
594
|
|
|
595 LISP-LEVEL CHANGES:
|
|
62
|
596
|
|
70
|
597 -- Hyperbole is still broken, sigh.
|
|
|
598 -- function-key-map and key-translation-map are now properly implemented.
|
|
|
599 -- keyboard-translate-table now lets you translate keysyms, e.g. to
|
|
|
600 fix the grievous damage Sun did to their X keyboards. See the
|
|
|
601 function `keyboard-translate'.
|
|
|
602 -- The function `window-height' has been changed to return a different
|
|
|
603 value when a horizontal scrollbar is present. The new definition
|
|
|
604 makes window-height ``mathematically tractable'': Its value always
|
|
|
605 reflects the window geometry, and will not change if you turn off
|
|
|
606 or on the modeline or horizontal scrollbar. Also, now, when there
|
|
|
607 is only one window, frame-height always equals window-height.
|
|
|
608 -- The new function `window-displayed-height' returns the actual
|
|
|
609 number of text lines currently visible (making proper allowances
|
|
|
610 for blank space at the end of a buffer). You should use this
|
|
|
611 instead of the standard kludge `(1- (window-height))'.
|
|
|
612 -- Hash tables can now do their comparisons with `equal' instead of
|
|
|
613 `eq'. See `make-hashtable'.
|
|
|
614 -- The `face' property of extents and text properties can now be
|
|
|
615 a list.
|
|
|
616 -- derived.el has been fixed up and is now dumped.
|
|
|
617 -- cl.el is now dumped. This includes the most basic of the
|
|
|
618 Common Lisp functionality; the rest is autoloaded. (And with
|
|
|
619 the lazy byte-code loading, it will come in only as needed.)
|
|
|
620 Accordingly, I removed the (usually less powerful) XEmacs versions
|
|
|
621 of `intersection', `union', etc., `delete-if', `delete-if-not',
|
|
|
622 `push', `pop', `c[ad][ad][ad]?[ad]?r', etc. This should clear
|
|
|
623 up any remaining problems with ediff and such. Note that the
|
|
|
624 increase in purespace from doing this is actually quite small --
|
|
|
625 about 15K.
|
|
|
626 -- At least one function (`display-completion-list') has been rewritten
|
|
|
627 to take Common Lisp key-style arguments. This provides a sensible
|
|
|
628 alternative to having zillions of optional arguments in an
|
|
|
629 unrememberable order. Other packages might consider doing the
|
|
|
630 same.
|
|
|
631 -- completion-list-mode is actually defined using `define-derived-mode',
|
|
|
632 as a sub-mode of list-mode. edit-faces defines another sub-mode
|
|
|
633 of list-mode.
|
|
|
634 -- some patches from Darrell Kindred.
|
|
|
635 -- new specifier `text-cursor-visible-p' controls whether the cursor
|
|
|
636 is visible.
|
|
|
637 -- new face `text-cursor' controls the colors of the text cursor.
|
|
|
638 -- New file `gui.el' defining some functions useful for GUI stuff,
|
|
|
639 e.g. creating dialog frames and buttons.
|
|
|
640 -- The function `extent-at' now takes an argument AT-FLAG controlling
|
|
|
641 what it means for an extent to be "at" a position. `get-char-property'
|
|
|
642 and `get-text-property' also take that argument.
|
|
|
643 -- `display-completion-list' has been changed to take key-type optional
|
|
|
644 arguments. There are keys for controlling the activation callback,
|
|
|
645 the help string displayed, the window width, and other things.
|
|
|
646 -- New text-property functions `text-property-bounds' and
|
|
|
647 `next-text-property-bounds' facilitate looking for stretches of
|
|
|
648 specially-marked text. This supersedes the common, error-prone
|
|
|
649 loops involving `next-single-property-change', `map-extents', etc.
|
|
|
650 (I thought long and hard about the end cases.)
|
|
|
651 -- `frame-visible-p' now actually queries the window system, so it
|
|
|
652 is always accurate without the need for weird kludges like
|
|
|
653 `accept-process-output'.
|
|

655 MISC CHANGES:
|
|
|
656
|
|
|
657 -- Glyph and keymap lispref documentation should now be accurate
|
|
|
658 and up-to-date.
|
|
|
659 -- XEmacs uses sigsetjmp(foo, 0) when possible; this avoids lots
|
|
|
660 of sigprocmask() system calls that were happening.
|
|
|
661
|
|
|
662 to 20.0 beta14
|
|
60
|
663
|
|
70
|
664 -- w3 2.3.32
|
|
|
665 -- XEmacs has a pseudo-file-dialog-box that gets invoked when you
|
|
|
666 choose a menu entry that prompts for a filename. The code that
|
|
|
667 implements it is in `mouse-read-file-name-1' in minibuf.el.
|
|
|
668 It's a pretty cheesy-ass function but it gets the job done.
|
|
|
669 It clearly needs some work; beta testers out there are encouraged
|
|
|
670 to help here. (hint, hint)
|
|
|
671 -- there were some missing UNGCPRO's that might have led to weird
|
|
|
672 crashes.
|
|
|
673 -- Much improved xemacs-internals. More is coming.
|
|
|
674 -- lots of improvements to the Lispref documentation, e.g. the general
|
|
|
675 section on objects is now actually more or less correct.
|
|
|
676 -- "cursor glyphs" and "cursor image instances" now use the term
|
|
|
677 "pointer" instead of "cursor".
|
|
|
678 -- new profiling code. See `start-profiling', `stop-profiling',
|
|
|
679 `clear-profiling', `pretty-print-profiling-info', etc.
|
|
|
680 This uses a SIGPROF so it's only as accurate as your system timer
|
|
|
681 (100Hz under Linux on the x86; may be different on other systems).
|
|
|
682 -- I have tried hard to minimize the amount of allocation that happens
|
|
|
683 as a result of normal activities. For example, `save-window-excursion'
|
|
|
684 and `save-excursion' no longer result in any allocation in most
|
|
|
685 circumstances.
|
|
|
686 -- New variable `debug-allocation'. If you set this to non-zero, you
|
|
|
687 will get a record on stderr of every time that any allocation occurs,
|
|
|
688 and a short backtrace will accompany it (controlled by
|
|
|
689 `debug-allocation-backtrace-length'). Normally, set this to 1;
|
|
|
690 if you set this greater than 1, you'll also see the "noseeum" allocations
|
|
|
691 that happen internally and are later undone (thus causing no net
|
|
|
692 allocation).
|
|
|
693 -- byte-code objects print more sanely. They also have an "annotation"
|
|
|
694 field indicating where they came from.
|
|
|
695 -- problem with lazy-lock sucking away idle time should be gone.
|
|
|
696 -- problem with mouse highlight not appearing may be gone.
|
|
|
697 -- problem with "interactive `e'" incorrect is fixed.
|
|
|
698 -- you can set and access all specifier and glyph variables using
|
|
|
699 frame properties.

705 -- ediff 2.54

708 -- url 1.0.13
|
|
|
709 -- nil is once again a valid color instantiator
|
|
|
710 -- 'make install' in a clean workspace should now work correctly.
|
|
|
711 -- Fixed a bug where using proportional fonts for the default face resulted
|
|
|
712 in an extra-wide frame.
|
|
|
713 -- Fixed wrong-type-argument error when using 'delete window above' from
|
|
|
714 modeline menu.
|
|
|
715 -- Fixed error when loading nroff-mode.
|
|
|
716 -- Fixed crash caused by this:
|
|
|
717 (setq toolbar-file-icon '(blah)), then C-x b foo RET
|
|
|
718 -- Error signaled if you try to create a frame with a `.' in the name.
|
|
|
719 -- frame size changes which occur while a tty-mode XEmacs is suspended are
|
|
|
720 now handled.
|
|
|
721 -- super-apropos is now apropos-documentation ; Help menu has been changed
|
|
|
722 -- tooltalk patch to allow setting of message disposition attribute (from
|
|
|
723 Hans Muller)
|
|
|
724 -- user-mail-address patch from Russell Ritchie
|
|
|
725 -- DEC OSF 4.0 patch from Manoj Srivastava
|
|
|
726 -- new specifiers default-toolbar-height, default-toolbar-width,
|
|
|
727 default-toolbar-visible-p, and {top,bottom,left,right}-toolbar-visible-p.
|
|
|
728 The new default specifiers work like default-toolbar: for whichever of
|
|
|
729 the four positions is the default-toolbar-position, the corresponding
|
|
|
730 specifiers foo-toolbar, foo-toolbar-{height,width}, foo-toolbar-visible-p
|
|
|
731 inherit from the appropriate defaults if no value is given. I also redid
|
|
|
732 the toolbar size-handling code. This appears to fix the weird problems
|
|
|
733 Kyle noticed with VM and the prev/next window config buttons, and might
|
|
|
734 have fixed that elusive VM phantom toolbar bug.

737
|

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

882 PLEASE someone come up with better icons. I just stole the Info
|
|

883 arrows.

884 -- The dreaded FSF dynamic byte-compile format is here. It is *NOT*
|
|
|
885 repeat *NOT* enabled by default for 19.14, so it's not gonna
|
|
|
886 break anything. It *IS* yes that's right *IS* the default for
|
|
|
887 20.0. (Both kinds of dynamic byte-compiling are the default
|
|
|
888 for 20.0.) Therefore, files you compile using 20.0 won't be
|
|
|
889 readable under versions before 19.14 unless you set
|
|
|
890 `byte-compile-dynamic' and `byte-compile-dynamic-docstrings'
|
|
|
891 to nil before compiling. Note that 19.14 will recognize
|
|
|
892 and correctly read dynamic byte-compiled files (whether compiled
|
|
|
893 by 20.0, 19.14, or FSF 19.29 or above), even though it won't
|
|
|
894 generate them by default. (You have to set one or both of
|
|
|
895 those variables just mentioned to non-nil if you want this.)

916 LISTEN UP: I changed the way font-lock faces are initialized. It

917 now takes advantage of the specifier stuff added in 19.12, and sets
|
|
|
918 up color defaults for color machines and non-color defaults for
|
|
|
919 non-color machines. The defaults are added with `append', which
|
|

|

|
929 If you set `debug-emacs-events' to non-zero on a Linux or IRIX

930 machine, you'll now see blank eval events going by at a reasonable
|

932 a firehose.
|

933 -- yet more synching with FSF 19.30.
|
|
|
934 -- Lots of modes have gained menus.
|
|

935 -- recover-session (recovers all auto-saved files) should work.
|
|

936 Not really tested.
|
|
|
937 -- latest apropos.el from 19.30. Implements some of what Hyper-Apropos does.
|
|
|
938 Maybe we should junk apropos.el or integrate the two.
|

939 -- `display-buffer' synched with FSF 19.30. This gives you the following

|
|
946 -- finally! C-h k followed by a toolbar button press correctly reports
|
|
|
947 the binding of the toolbar button.
|
|
|
948 -- fixed problems with toolbar buttons remaining activated or C-g being
|
|
|
949 pressed during minibuffer prompting of (e.g.) toolbar Replace or Open
|
|
|
950 -- fixed "Error setting GC pointer" problems.
|
|
|
951 -- text-property problems reported by Alastair Burt fixed.
|
|
|
952 -- ediff minibuffer weirdness fixed. Surrogate minibuffers are working.
|
|
|
953 -- ~ has electric behavior like / in minibuffer. Both of these can be
|
|
|
954 inhibited by setting `minibuffer-electric-file-name-behavior' to nil.
|

958 completion -- no regexp-based guesswork, as before.
|
|
|
959 -- the kludgy completion-tracking behavior that looks for completions
|
|
|
960 under the mouse has been disabled. If you want it back, set
|
|
|
961 `minibuffer-smart-completion-tracking-behavior'. This does *not*
|
|
|
962 affect the normal ability to click on a completion in the
|
|
|
963 *Completions* buffer. Turning this off should also fix the obnoxious
|
|
|
964 "mouse motion causes ange-ftp action" bug.
|
|

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

980 in XEmacs, just no configure option.
|
|

981 -- jpeg code now just includes "jpeglib.h" instead of "jpeg/jpeglib.h",
|

982 and configure autodetects likewise.
|
|
|
983 -- new variable debug-emacs-events. Set to non-zero to have all events
|
|
|
984 seen by XEmacs output on stderr. (From this, I know what's going on --
|
|
|
985 it's the 1/4 second timers for when SIGIO and/or SIGCHLD are broken.
|
|
|
986 It can be fixed, but not until the next beta ...)
|
|
|
987 -- overriding-terminal-local-map and other oddities from FSF.
|
|
|
988 -- added some of the necessary C support for lazy-lock v2.
|
|
|
989 -- ange-ftp works around a Linux FTP problem where it outputs escape
|
|
|
990 sequences to highlight the ftp prompt, which messes things up.
|
|
|
991 -- I changed a couple ange-ftp defaults:
|
|
|
992 -- ange-ftp-generate-anonymous-password is t. I see no reason
|
|
|
993 why you should have to type in a password here.
|
|
|
994 -- ange-ftp-default-user is "anonymous". This one is more
|
|
|
995 debatable, but I think it's a lot more logical (more like
|
|
|
996 ncftp, too) and follows the Principle of Least Surprise.
|
|
|
997 Differing opinions (except from Kyle Jones :) are welcome.
|
|
|
998 -- Info menu now properly disappears when you exit Info.
|
|
|
999 -- new functions frame-leftmost-window, frame-rightmost-window.
|
|
|
1000 -- next-frame and previous-frame have been expanded and unkludgified
|
|
|
1001 to allow you more control over which frames are considered.
|
|
|
1002 -- Bill Perry's GIF and PNG patches are included.
|
|
|
1003 -- Various patches for the DEC Alpha and other beta-list patches
|
|
|
1004 are in place.
|
|
|
1005 -- function to access the raw window tree have been added:
|
|
|
1006 window-first-hchild, window-first-vchild, window-next-child,
|
|
|
1007 window-previous-child, window-parent. These let you implement
|
|
|
1008 frame-leftmost-window and lots of similar functions.
|
|
|
1009 -- XEmacs should be more robust about dying properly when crashes
|
|
|
1010 occur.
|
|
|
1011 -- you can compile with Epoch support. (Actually, you could in the
|
|
|
1012 previous beta, too.) The main thing this gets you is direct
|
|
|
1013 access to some X events and objects (e.g. properties and
|
|
|
1014 property-notify events).
|
|
|
1015 -- you can set initial-frame-alist in your .emacs, and XEmacs will
|
|
|
1016 notice this and change the initial frame accordingly.
|
|
|
1017 -- major revamping of the multi-device support:
|
|
|
1018 -- there is a new type of object called a "console". A console
|
|
|
1019 groups together devices that have the same keyboard/mouse.
|
|
|
1020 A "device" now corresponds to an X "Screen", while a "console"
|
|
|
1021 corresponds to an X "display". You don't need to explicitly
|
|
|
1022 create a console; it's created as necessary when you create
|
|
|
1023 a device.
|
|
|
1024 -- device-local variables have become console-local variables.
|
|
|
1025 -- "device types" are now "console types", although functions
|
|
|
1026 that speak of "device types" and "frame types" are defined
|
|
|
1027 as aliases.
|
|
|
1028 -- devices are no longer permanent objects, but remain around
|
|
|
1029 only so long as there are frames on the device. Consoles
|
|
|
1030 behave similarly. (#### not implemented yet; wait for
|
|
|
1031 next beta)
|
|
|
1032 -- Devices and consoles have a generalized concept of a
|
|
|
1033 "connection", which describes what they are connected to
|
|
|
1034 (e.g. a DISPLAY for an X console, a tty name for a TTY
|
|
|
1035 console). Calling `make-device' on an existing connection
|
|
|
1036 returns an existing device and/or console rather than
|
|
|
1037 creating a new one. The code is also quite smart about
|
|
|
1038 determining whether a connection refers to an existing
|
|
|
1039 device or console; e.g. if your machine name is "nene.666.com"
|
|
|
1040 alias "wing.vip.best.com" address 204.156.158.101, then

|
|
|
1290 languages / charsets. Astute observers will notice two problems:
|
|
|
1291 (1) Half of the Thai characters don't show up. That's because
|
|
|
1292 composite characters still aren't displayed properly.
|
|
|
1293 (2) The Arabic and Hebrew characters go backwards from the way
|
|
|
1294 they should. (Guess why?)
|
|
|
1295 -- error-handling behavior in Mule decoding (e.g. unknown charset)
|
|
|
1296 should be much better. The goal here is that there should never be
|
|
|
1297 any information lossage when a file is read in, decoded, encoded
|
|
|
1298 again, and written out. If escape sequences get transformed into
|
|
|
1299 some other equivalent escape sequence, that is OK; but if they
|
|

1300 get eaten, that is not OK.
|
|

1301 -- translation tables are handled consistently (note, I didn't say
|
|
|
1302 "correctly") under Mule. Doing them correctly is very difficult
|
|
|
1303 so I'm punting for now. Basically, under Mule, `upcase' and
|
|
|
1304 `downcase' (and related) work correctly with translation tables
|
|
|
1305 but the string/buffer-searching routines will ignore translations
|
|
|
1306 that map to or from a character not in the seven-bit ASCII
|
|
|
1307 range -- thus `case-fold-search' will not correctly conflate
|
|
|
1308 a-umlaut and A-umlaut. This sucks, but it's better than the
|
|
|
1309 alternative (weird results and possible crashes).

1327 NOTE: Syntax tables are *NOT* vectors any more but are their own

|
|
|
1329 to break. (Typical error: "wrong type argument: sequencep,
|
|
|
1330 #<syntax-char-table ...>".) I've already had to patch cc-mode,
|
|
|
1331 font-lock, mail-abbrevs, and symbol-syntax, and edebug, mim-syntax,
|

1393 The Way It Should Have Always Been. This change is necessary for

1394 byte-code portability under Mule and follows the Common Lisp model
|
|
|
1395 of not needlessly confounding separate types, as is (unfortunately)
|
|
|
1396 the fashion under E-Lisp. Characters print as characters using the
|
|
|
1397 evil yucky GNU Emacs character syntax (e.g. ?a) rather than as
|
|
|
1398 integers; this is the essence of the byte-code portability. In
|
|
|
1399 deference to existing E-Lisp code, the following concessions are made:
|
|
|
1400
|
|
|
1401 -- characters are represented directly; `eq' works on them.
|
|
|
1402 (Yuck! This may be a problem if I ever want to add additional
|
|
|
1403 information to characters.)
|
|
|
1404 -- the comparison functions (<, =, etc) and arithmetic functions
|
|
|
1405 (+, -, etc) accept characters and silently convert them to
|
|
|
1406 integers. (This is semi-hateful but necessary for compatibility.)
|
|
|
1407 -- functions that properly accept characters (e.g. char-to-string)
|
|
|
1408 also accept integers and silently convert them to characters.
|
|
|
1409

1411 that are the proper way of comparing characters.

1412 -- The function `eq' has been infected with a heretofore-unknown virus

1414 warned, but in this case the cure (require that all existing .elc
|
|
|
1415 files in the whole world be re-byte-compiled) is a lot worse than
|
|
|
1416 the disease. Their recommendation is to use the new function
|
|
|
1417 `really-eq' if you really need to distinguish between chars and ints.
|
|
|
1418 Be warned, however, that this will run slower in byte-compiled code
|
|
|
1419 because there is no opcode for `really-eq'.
|
|
|
1420 -- Similar infections have happened to `equal' (with a corresponding

|
|
|
1422 `rassq', `remassq', `remrassq' and corresponding `equal'
|
|
|
1423 equivalents. The functions `puthash' and `put-range-table' have
|
|

1424 not been affected, however, because I don't think there will be much
|
|
|
1425 of a compatibility problem here.

1426 -- BETA TESTERS LISTEN UP: The above changes have the potential of

1428 PLEASE do the following for as many different packages as you can:
|
|
|
1429 (1) try it out to make sure there's no obviously strange behavior
|
|
|
1430 (a good example would be the error
|
|
|
1431 "wrong type argument: integerp, ?B") or not-so-obviously
|
|
|
1432 strange behavior, like prefix arguments not working
|
|
|
1433 (yes, this did happen).
|
|
|
1434 (2) re-byte-compile all the files in the package
|
|
|
1435 (3) repeat step #1. Look especially hard this time because
|
|
|
1436 the errors are more likely to occur this time.

|
|
|
1446 WARNING WARNING WARNING:
|
|
|
1447 (a) You cannot compile files with extended characters in them
|
|
|
1448 (e.g. lisp/mule/japanese-hooks.el) using a version of XEmacs
|
|
|
1449 not compiled with Mule.
|
|
|
1450 (b) If you compile such a file using XEmacs/Mule and attempt to
|
|
|
1451 load it into a version of XEmacs not compiled with Mule,
|
|
|
1452 you will get extremely random and undesirable results even
|
|
|
1453 if you don't get a read error. The reason for this is that
|
|
|
1454 a special encoding is used to allow arbitrary binary characters
|
|
|
1455 to co-exist with the control characters used to change
|
|
|
1456 the encoding state. Normal E-Lisp files compiled under
|
|
|
1457 XEmacs/Mule should work under a non-Mule XEmacs because the
|
|
|
1458 special encoding will not be used in this case.
|
|
|
1459 At some point I would like to remove these gotchas but this will
|
|
|
1460 require adding some smarts to the non-Mule XEmacs to be able to
|
|
|
1461 at least partially handle the special encodings used.
|
|
|
1462 -- Here is a cool test of XEmacs/Mule: type 'C-h T' (capital T) and

|
1464 (currently limited to Japanese, Korean, and Thai). Astute
|
|
|
1465 testers will notice that the Thai one doesn't work yet; that
|
|
|
1466 requires support for composite characters, which doesn't currently
|
|

1467 exist.

|

1479 may not fit together perfectly.

|
|
1483 -- load the file etc/mule/TUTORIAL.jp
|
|
|
1484 -- evaluate (decode-coding-region 1 (point-max) 'ctext)
|
|
|
1485
|
|
|
1486 In order for this to work, you have to have the proper Japanese
|
|
|
1487 fonts installed (see below), or XEmacs will abort. (This will be fixed.)
|
|
|
1488
|
|
|
1489 Soon, the decoding will happen automatically upon loading.
|
|
|
1490
|
|
|
1491 Note also: IT MIGHT NOT CURRENTLY WORK TO BYTE-COMPILE FILES UNDER
|
|
|
1492 XEmacs/Mule. You may get bogus results. Therefore, for the time
|
|
|
1493 being do *not* do `make all-elc' using the built XEmacs/Mule.
|
|
|
1494 This should be fixed by beta2, along with the rest of the file-
|
|

1495 handling stuff.
|
|
|
1496
|
|
|
1497 Note finally: You may get read errors trying to byte-compile the
|
|
|
1498 Mule files under the non-Mule Xemacs. I have not yet come up with
|
|
|
1499 a general solution to this problem. (I'm not convinced such a
|
|
|
1500 solution even exists; byte-compiling could cause arbitrary code
|
|
|
1501 to be executed, which will surely fail if the code uses Mule-
|
|
|
1502 specific features.)

|
|
|
1514 of 32-bit values, making them much less heavyweight. New primitives
|
|
|
1515 for working with bit vectors are `bit-vector', `make-bit-vector',
|
|
|
1516 `bit-vector-p', and `bvconcat' (equivalents of `vector', `make-vector',
|
|
|
1517 `vectorp' and `vconcat'). All other vector primitives should work
|
|
|
1518 fine with bit vectors.
|
|
|
1519 -- new specifier functions `specifier-matching-instance',
|
|
|
1520 `specifier-matching-instance-from-inst-list', and
|
|
|
1521 `valid-specifier-matchspec-p', for working with fonts in XEmacs/Mule.
|
|
|
1522 These same functions could be used to provide much more flexible
|
|
|
1523 handling of display tables and the like, and this work may get done
|
|
|
1524 if there is demand for it.
|
|
|
1525 -- The handling of PURESIZE has been fixed up. There is no longer
|
|
|
1526 special stuff needed in m/alpha.h. Alpha users may need to tweak
|
|
|
1527 with puresize.h.
|
|
|
1528 -- You can now build statically on Linux. Doing this will allow you
|
|
|
1529 to get proper backtraces. (Shared libraries are typically built
|
|
|
1530 -fomit-frame-pointer, which screws everything up.)
|
|
|
1531 -- I have removed almost all of the MAC_* stuff and replaced it with
|
|
|
1532 inline functions. configure attempts to detect whether your compiler
|
|
|
1533 supports `inline'. However, if your compiler does support it
|
|
|
1534 but is not GCC, you should look at how I've done things and see
|
|
|
1535 if it meshes with your compiler. Basically, GCC has a nice feature
|
|
|
1536 where you can declare a function `extern inline' and stick it in
|
|
|
1537 a header file. This will cause the inline declaration to be
|
|
|
1538 used if the function can be inlined, and an external reference to
|
|
|
1539 be generated otherwise. Then, you define the function just
|
|
|
1540 `inline' in one single file (inline.c). This is superior to the
|
|
|
1541 method of declaring all inline functions as `static inline', which
|
|
|
1542 could leave a separate copy of each function in lots of source
|
|
|
1543 files. However, I'm not sure if non-GCC compilers support this.
|
|
|
1544 Please read your compiler's documentation and fix up the definition
|
|
|
1545 of INLINE in config.h.in accordingly.
|
|
|
1546
|
|
|
1547 Also, there may be functions that would really benefit from inlining,
|
|
|
1548 which you can sometimes specify as an option to your compiler.
|
|
|
1549 We will have Quantify information on this.
|
|
|
1550 -- XEmacs now uses the v19 regex routines instead of the v18 regex
|
|
|
1551 routines. Speed should not be significantly different due to the
|
|
|
1552 non-Posix-backtracking default. If you want the full Posix
|
|
|
1553 backtracking, use the functions `posix-looking-at', `posix-string-match',
|
|
|
1554 etc. (Be warned that this may be significantly slower.) Note also
|
|
|
1555 that the fishy problems may be forever banished.
|
|
|
1556
|
|
|
1557 NOTE: The v19 regex routines do reallocs using rel-alloc if it is
|
|
|
1558 available; God only knows why. If you notice some weird hiccups in
|
|
|
1559 the regex routines, this is a likely culprit. Someone might want to
|
|
|
1560 try putting '#undef REL_ALLOC' at the top of regex.c or something.
|
|
|
1561 RMS also claims that much of the stuff that's going on here (recording
|
|
|
1562 backtracking points) is only necessary for full Posix backtracking,
|
|
|
1563 and thus we should be able to disable it in the normal (non-Posix)
|
|
|
1564 case.
|
|
|
1565 -- XEmacs now caches compiled regexps. This may speed up regex searching.
|
|
|
1566 -- `replace-match' now takes a fourth argument STRING that allows for
|
|
|
1567 replacement in a string instead of a buffer.
|
|
|
1568 -- new functions `upcase-initials' and `upcase-initials-region' from
|
|
|
1569 FSF Emacs 19.29.
|
|
|
1570 -- match data is automatically saved and restored while a process filter
|
|
|
1571 or sentinel is running.
|
|
|
1572 -- new type "char-table". A char table is for indexing characters and
|
|
|
1573 is intended to be an extension/generalization of syntax tables,
|
|
|
1574 display tables, case tables, category tables (a new kind of beast
|
|
|
1575 allowing classifications of characters into categories for regexp
|
|
|
1576 lookup, useful esp. for Mule), etc. You can set values for
|
|
|
1577 an entire charset and for individual rows of a charset. Adding
|
|
|
1578 and looking up values occurs in constant time.
|
|
|
1579 -- new type "range-table". A range table efficiently indexes ranges of
|
|
|
1580 integers to values.
|
|
|
1581 -- new modeline spec '%C'; displays a mnemonic string for the
|
|
|
1582 file-coding-system, under Mule.
|
|
|
1583 -- new function `device-on-window-system-p'; clean way of determining
|
|
|
1584 whether mouse, glyph, etc. support is likely to be available on this
|
|
|
1585 device.
|
|
|
1586 #### We really need individual feature-test functions.
|
|
|
1587 -- new dialog-box functions `get-dialog-box-response' (like the misnamed
|
|
|
1588 `x-popup-dialog' FSFmacs function), `message-box' (like the FSFmacs
|
|
|
1589 function), and `message-or-box' (like the FSFmacs function).
