(Your custom settings +will also be moved, to `~/.xemacs/custom.el' -- see below.) If so, you +will also be asked whether you would like to create a compatibility +`.emacs' for backward compatibility with previous versions of XEmacs +and with GNU Emacs. (This compatibility `.emacs' simply loads the new +init and custom files.) Doing this is generally a good idea -- new +versions of XEmacs will prefer `~/.xemacs/init.el' over `~/.emacs' in +any case. + +You can manually migrate at any time with `migrate-user-init-file', +and undo any migration with `unmigrate-user-init-file'. The function +`create-compatibility-dot-emacs' also lets you manually create a +compatibility `.emacs'. + +NOTE: Under MS Windows, your home directory (i.e. the directory named +`~') is specified by the HOME environment variable, and defaults to +C:\. To set this variable, modify AUTOEXEC.BAT under Windows 95/98, +or select Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables... +under Windows NT/2000. + +*** Custom file will move to ~/.xemacs/custom.el. + +Whereas customize settings were formerly stored in the regular init +file, XEmacs now prefers them to be in a separate file +`~/.xemacs/custom.el', completely under automatic control. This +change goes with the migration of the init file, and XEmacs offers +automatic migration upon startup. + +** Much-improved sample init.el, showing how to use many useful features. + +The sample init file, located in the `etc/' directory of the XEmacs +installation, has been renamed from `sample.emacs' to `sample.init.el', +and pretty much rewritten from scratch. (You can view it by selecting +the menu item Help->Samples->Sample init.el.) Many of the most-useful +optional features in XEmacs have been enabled, and other features that +are useful but may be annoying to some are present but commented out. +There is also extensive documentation on how to add your own +improvements to the init file and where to find more documentation +elsewhere in XEmacs. The file has been specifically designed so that +most people can simply make it their own init file by copying it to +~/.xemacs/init.el, and they will be satisfied with the results. + +** XEmacs support for menu accelerators has been much improved. -** There is a new command `kill-entire-line' that always kills the -entire line at point, regardless of whether the point is at the -beginning of line, and regardless of the setting of `kill-whole-line'. +It now works properly under MS Windows, for example. To enable +accelerators, set `menu-accelerator-enabled' to `menu-force'. Menus +now have accelerators by default, currently on the first letter of the +menu item unless another letter was indicated as the accelerator using +%_ in the menu string. These %_ specifications are automatically +removed when displaying the menu item, and are handled correctly in +functions such as `normalize-menu-item-name'. Some auto-generated +menus will have accelerators added dynamically, using numbers 1-9 and +letters; to add this feature yourself, use the Lisp command +`submenu-generate-accelerator-spec' in a menu filter. The feature +`menu-accelerator-support' has been added so that packages can check +whether this support exists. + +** Default menubar improvements. + +*** Default menubar has many new commands and better organization. + +The default menubar has been extensively reorganized. Many more +commands are available, and they are more logically organized. The +Options menu, in particular, has been significantly expanded, and almost +everything on the new Cmds menu is new. (Much of the useful +functionality from the `big-menubar' package has been imported.) + +*** The font-menu is now available under MS Windows. + +** Dialog box improvements, including a real file dialog box. + +*** XEmacs now has a proper file dialog box under MS Windows (and GTK)! +This will appear whenever you select a menu item that requires a file +as an argument. + +*** The old clunky file dialog box is improved. +The in-buffer file dialog box (visible on non-MS-Windows, non-GTK +systems) is still clunky but has had many improvements to make it work +significantly better. + +*** Keyboard traversal now works correctly in MS Windows dialog boxes. + +*** There is a Search dialog box available from Edit->Find... +However, it's very experimental and needs a lot of work. + +** New buffer tabs. + +You can now use buffer tabs to switch between buffers. + +The tabs are located between the toolbar and the uppermost window, in +a location called the "gutter". If you dislike the buffer tabs, you can +disable them using the menu item `Options->Display->Buffers Tab Visible' +by customizing `gutter-buffers-tab-visible-p', or by placing this in +your .xemacs/init.el: + + (custom-set-variables '(gutter-buffers-tab-visible-p nil)) + +You can change the location of the gutter using the menu item +`Options->Display->Default Gutter Location' or with (e.g.) + + (custom-set-variables '(default-gutter-position 'left)) + +However, currently only MS Windows supports tab widgets with +orientations other than vertical, and it doesn't currently support +gutters on the bottom of the frame. + +** There is a new MS Windows installer, netinstall, ported from Cygwin. + +Nearly complete automation of the XEmacs install process from +ftp.xemacs.org. Includes selection of Lisp packages to install, etc. -** The variable `kill-whole-line' now only takes effect when kill-line -is called interactively. Although this is a departure from a previous -behavior in the case of setting this variable kill-whole-line to t, -it is almost certainly what has always been intended, and most likely -the old way of doing things introduced bugs. +** The subprocess quote-handling mechanism under Windows is much improved. + +Specifically, the quote-handling mechanism has been completely rewritten, +and you should now be able to use single or double quotes to quote arguments +just like under Unix, and expect to get correct results regardless of the +shell you are using (e.g. CMD.EXE, bash from Cygwin, etc.). For example, +the following command: + +M-x grep '<<<<<<<' *.c + +should work as intended. + +** Printing support now available under MS Windows. + +The File->Print... menu item pretty-prints using the standard MS +Windows printing facilities. Unfortunately it's still rather +experimental. There is a separate `msprinter' device tag for MS +Windows printers, and so you can control the way that faces appear on +the printer by using this tag to specify device-specific face +settings. + +** Selection improvements. + +*** Kill and yank now interact with the clipboard under Windows. -** The help buffers created by the plethora of C-h commands now -contain hyperlinks. +This was done by changing the default value of `interprogram-cut-function' +and `interprogram-paste-function'. You can get the old behavior by +setting these to nil, and there is an option on the options menu to do +this. + +*** MS Windows support for selection is now much more robust. + +Generally selection should now do what you would expect under +MS Windows: the middle mouse button will paste your current selection +or the clipboard; conversions from different types of selection to the +clipboard can be made; the kill-ring and friends will be updated as +per X. + +The only thing selection doesn't do is set the clipboard automatically +as this would break the MS Windows model. If you want this behavior +then set `selection-sets-clipboard' to t. + +*** Motif selection support is now more correct (but slower). + +Changes have been made to allow correct operation of cut/copy/paste +operations between native widgets and XEmacs buffers. However, this +can lead to a lot of X traffic which slows down the performance of +`C-k'. If you want the old behaviour then set +`x-selection-strict-motif-ownership' to nil. + +** Mail spool locking now works correctly. -** The modeline's text is now scrollable. This is controlled by the -variable `modeline-scrolling-method', which you need to set to a -non-nil value. You can also choose scrolling types; see the docstring -of `modeline-scrolling-method' for more information. +XEmacs has always come with a little auxiliary program, movemail, +which moves mail out of the system's spool area into user storage. To +coordinate between XEmacs, the mail delivery agent, and other mail +user agents, movemail needs to properly lock the spool file before +moving it. Movemail now correctly respects the --mail-locking option +to configure. Moreover, movemail's locking behavior can be specified +at run-time, via a new command-line option -m to movemail, or through +the environment variable EMACSLOCKMETHOD. + +When installing XEmacs, make sure you configure it according to your +environment's mail spool locking conventions. When you're using a +binary kit, set the `mail-lock-method' variable at startup, or the +EMACSLOCKMETHOD environment variable. + +** International support changes. + +*** The default coding-priority-list is now safer. + +This means that if you have no language environment set, Mule no +longer automatically recognizes ISO 2022 escapes in your files. This +makes editing binary files safe. + +*** International keysyms are now supported under X. + +This means that XEmacs running under Mule will automatically recognize +the keysym `scaron' to be the lower-case `s' with caron in the Latin 2 +character set. (Specifically, it will bind the keysym to +`self-insert' and augment its `ascii-character' property.) This is +very useful with XFree under European locales as shipped by recent +Linux distributions. If XEmacs is compiled without Mule support, the +feature still works, but it is unaware of different character sets -- +it unconditionally sets the `ascii-character' property to values in +the [160, 256) range. -** XEmacs menus now have accelerators by default. If a menu item does -not have an accelerator specified, one is created dynamically, using -numbers 1-9 and letters. +*** MS Windows 1251 code page now supported. + +It's available as coding system `windows-1251'. + +*** Czech, Thai, Cyrillic-KOI8, Vietnamese, Ethiopic now supported. + +*** Proper support for words in Latin 3 and Latin 4. + +The appropriate characters in Latin 3 and Latin 4 character sets are +correctly defined as words. + +** Help buffers contain hyperlinks, and other changes. + +The help buffers created by C-h commands now contain hyperlinks to +other commands, functions and variables mentioned in the documentation. +Use button2 to follow a link. Use button3 to bring up a context menu +that lets you follow the link, find the source for the item, do a tag +search, etc. The buffers are also syntax-highlighted. + +Help functions (e.g. `C-h f') now know how to print macro argument +lists. If your macro definition included an argument list for the sake +of help output, you no longer need to do that. + +** The modeline's text is now scrollable. + +This is controlled by the variable `modeline-scrolling-method', which +you need to set to a non-nil value.
