Rather than invent (and force our users to learn) a new +user interface, we chose to build part of our environment on top of +the world's best editor, GNU Emacs. (Though our product is +commercial, the work we did on GNU Emacs is free software, and is +useful in its own right.) - ;; HERE TO PLACE ADDITIONAL MUGSHOTS -) +We needed a version of Emacs with mouse-sensitive regions, multiple +fonts, the ability to mark sections of a buffer as read-only, the +ability to detect which parts of a buffer have been modified, and many +other features. -;; This is losing badly to a redisplay glitch, and it doesn't scale up. - -; (goto-char (point-max)) -; (insert "\n ") +For our purposes, the existing version of Epoch was not sufficient; it +did not allow us to put arbitrary pixmaps/icons in buffers, `undo' did +not restore changes to regions, regions did not overlap and merge +their attributes in the way we needed, and several other things. -; (let ((rest '(steve mrb cthomp wing stig linebreak jwz mly vladimir linebreak baw piper bw linebreak wmperry kyle larsi jens)) -; (got-error nil)) -; (while rest -; (if (eq (car rest) 'linebreak) -; (insert "\n\n ") -; (let* ((who (car rest)) -; (b (get-buffer "About XEmacs")) -; (p (symbol-value-in-buffer who b nil))) -; (or (glyphp p) (setq p nil)) -; (and p -; (let ((e (make-extent (point) (point)))) -; (set-extent-begin-glyph e p) -; (set-extent-property e 'keymap about-xref-map) -; (set-extent-property e 'xref who))) -; (insert " ") -; (sit-for 0))) -; (setq rest (cdr rest))) -; (insert "\n") -; (goto-char (point-min)) -; (or got-error (message nil))) -; ) +We could have devoted our time to making Epoch do what we needed (and, +in fact, we spent some time doing that in 1990) but, since the FSF +planned to include Epoch-like features in their version 19, we decided +that our efforts would be better spent improving Emacs 19 instead of +Epoch. + +Our original hope was that our changes to Emacs would be incorporated +into the \"official\" v19. However, scheduling conflicts arose, and +we found that, given the amount of work still remaining to be done, we +didn't have the time or manpower to do the level of coordination that +would be necessary to get our changes accepted by the FSF. +Consequently, we released our work as a forked branch of Emacs, +instead of delaying any longer. + +Roughly a year after Lucid Emacs 19.0 was released, a beta version of +the FSF branch of Emacs 19 was released. The FSF version is better in +some areas, and worse in others, as reflects the differing focus of +our development efforts. + +We plan to continue developing and supporting Lucid Emacs, and merging +in bug fixes and new features from the FSF branch as appropriate; we +do not plan to discard any of the functionality that we implemented +which RMS has chosen not to include in his version. + +Certain elements of Lucid Emacs, or derivatives of them, have been +ported to the FSF version. We have not been doing work in this +direction, because we feel that Lucid Emacs has a cleaner and more +extensible substrate, and that any kind of merger between the two +branches would be far easier by merging the FSF changes into our +version than the other way around. + +We have been working closely with the Epoch developers to merge in the +remaining Epoch functionality which Lucid Emacs does not yet have. +Epoch and Lucid Emacs will soon be one and the same thing. Work is +being done on a compatibility package which will allow Epoch 4 code to +run in XEmacs with little or no change.\n\n" + (about-with-face "The Sun Microsystems, Inc. Point of View" + 'italic) + "\n +Emacs 18 has been around for a long, long time. Version 19 was +supposed to be the successor to v18 with X support. It was going to +be available \"real soon\" for a long time (some people remember +hearing about v19 as early as 1984!), but it never came out. v19 +development was going very, very slowly, and from the outside it +seemed that it was not moving at all. In the meantime other people +gave up waiting for v19 and decided to build their own X-aware +Emacsen. The most important of these was probably Epoch, which came +from the University of Illinois (\"UofI\") and was based on v18. + +Around 1990, the Developer Products group within Sun Microsystems +Inc., decided that it wanted an integrated editor. (This group is now +known as DevPro. It used to be known as SunPro - the name was changed +in mid-1994.) They contracted with the University of Illinois to +provide a number of basic enhancements to the functionality in Epoch. +UofI initially was planning to deliver this on top of Epoch code. + +In the meantime, (actually some time before they talked with UofI) +Lucid had decided that it also wanted to provide an integrated +environment with an integrated editor. Lucid decided that the Version +19 base was a better one than Version 18 and thus decided not to use +Epoch but instead to work with Richard Stallman, the head of the Free +Software Foundation and principal author of Emacs, on getting v19 out. +At some point Stallman and Lucid parted ways.
