From: tomo Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2002 09:49:22 +0000 (+0000) Subject: This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag X-Git-Tag: r21-2-46-utf-2000-0_19-1 X-Git-Url: http://git.chise.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=067065f58c76fb8cb59179d0595ac38f554ad4cc;p=chise%2Fxemacs-chise.git This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag 'r21-2-46-utf-2000-0_19-1'. --- diff --git a/etc/ONEWS b/etc/ONEWS deleted file mode 100644 index b6a32bb..0000000 --- a/etc/ONEWS +++ /dev/null @@ -1,1084 +0,0 @@ --*- mode:outline -*- - -* Changes in XEmacs 20.4 -======================== - -** XEmacs 20.4 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes. - - -* Changes in XEmacs 20.3 -======================== - -** Quail input method is now available. - -Quail is a simple key-translation system that allows users to input -any multilingual text from normal ASCII keyboard. This means that -XEmacs with Mule now supports a number of European languages. - -** More Windows NT support. - -Thanks to efforts of many people, coordinated by David Hobley - and Marc Paquette , beta versions -of XEmacs now run on 32-bit Windows platforms (Windows NT and Windows -95). The current betas require having an X server to run XEmacs; -however, a native NT/95 port is in alpha, thanks to Jonathan Harris -. - -The NT development is now coordinated by a mailing list at -. Mail to to -subscribe. - -** Multiple TTY frames are now available. - -On consoles that display only one frame at a time (e.g. TTY consoles), -creating a new frame with `C-x 5 2' also raises and selects that -frame. The behavior of window system frames is unchanged. - -** Package starting changes. - -State of Emacs should never be changed with loading a package. The -following XEmacs packages that used to break this have been changed. - -*** Loading `paren' no longer enables paren-blinking. Use -`paren-set-mode' explicitly, or customize `paren-mode'. - -*** Loading `uniquify' no longer enables uniquify. Set -`uniquify-buffer-name-style' to a legal value. - -*** Loading `time' no longer enables display time. Invoke -`display-time' explicitly. - -*** Loading `jka-compr' no longer enables on-the-fly compression. Use -`toggle-auto-compression' instead. - -*** Loading `id-select' no longer enables its behaviour. Use -`id-select-install' instead. - -** Zmacs region is not deactivated when an error is signaled. - -The behavior of the zmacs region can now be controlled in the event of -a signaled error. The new variable `errors-deactivate-region' may be -set to nil to revert to the old behaviour. As before, typing C-g -deactivates the region. - -** Multiple Info `dir' functionality has been merged with GNU Emacs -19.34. - -XEmacs will now correctly merge all the `dir' files in -`Info-directory-list' (initialized from either the `INFOPATH' -env. variable or `Info-default-directory-list'.) These files may be -full-fledged info files containing subnodes or menus. Previously -supported `localdir' files are looked for also, secondary to `dir's. -See the manual for details. - -** Abbreviations can now contain non-word characters. - -This means that it is finally possible to do such simple things as -define `#in' to expand to `#include' in C mode, `s-c-b' to -`save-current-buffer' in Lisp mode, `call/cc' to -`call-with-current-continuation' in Scheme mode, etc. - -** `C-x n d' now runs the new command `narrow-to-defun', -which narrows the accessible parts of the buffer to just -the current defun. - -** The new command `C-x 4 0' (kill-buffer-and-window) kills the -current buffer and deletes the selected window. It asks for -confirmation first. - -** `ESC ESC ESC' (keyboard-escape-quit) will now correctly abort -recursive edits (as documented.) - -** arc-mode has a new function called `archive-quit' bound to q, which -quits archive mode in the same fashion dired-quit works. - -** A `tetris' clone is now available within XEmacs, written by Glynn -Clements. Try it out with `M-x tetris'. - -** The feature to teach the key bindings of extended commands now -prints the message after the command finishes. After some time, the -previous echo area contents are restored (in case the command prints -something useful). - -** If you set scroll-conservatively to a small number, then when you -move point a short distance off the screen, XEmacs will scroll the -screen just far enough to bring point back on screen, provided that -does not exceed `scroll-conservatively' lines. - -** Face background colors now take precedence over the default face -background pixmap, which means that background pixmaps no longer clash -with zmacs-regions, or clickable buttons. - -** Regexps can now contain additional Perl-like constructs. - -** Modifiers can be added to a keystroke by preceding it with a `C-x @ -' sequence where is one of letters `S', `c', `m', `a', `h', `s' -corresponding to shift, control, meta, alt, hyper, and super modifiers, -respectively. It is possible to add several modifiers by repeating this -sequence. This feature is especially useful on text terminals where it -allows one to enter keystrokes like, e.g., `M-home'. - -** An arbitrary keystroke can be generated by entering `C-x @ k - RET'. For example a sequence: - - C-x @ c C-x @ k b a c k s p a c e RET - -will result in a `C-backspace' keystroke even on text terminals. - -** Customize changes. - -*** Customize has undergone a massive speedup, and should now operate -acceptably fast. Slowness of the interface used to be the biggest -gripe. - -*** Many more packages have been modified to use the facility, so -almost all of XEmacs options can now be examined through the Customize -groups. - -*** There is a new `browser' mode of traversing customizations, in -many ways easier to follow than the standard one. Try it out with -`M-x customize-browse'. - -** Pending-delete changes. - -*** Pending-delete is now a minor mode, with the normal minor-mode -semantics and toggle functions. Old functions are left for -compatibility. - -*** Loading pending-del no longer turns on pending-delete mode. In -fact, it is no longer necessary to explicitly load pending-del. All -you need to do to turn on pending-delete is run the pending-delete -function: - - Within XEmacs: Type M-x pending-delete - not M-x load-library pending-delete - - In .emacs: Use (turn-on-pending-delete) - not (load "pending-del") - -** XEmacs can now save the minibuffer histories from various -minibuffers. To use this feature, add the line: - - (savehist-load) - -to your .emacs. This will load the minibuffer histories (if any) at -startup, as well as instruct XEmacs to save them before exiting. You -can use Customize to add or remove the histories being saved. - -** The default format for ChangeLog entries (as created by `C-x 4 a') -is now the international ISO 8601 format. - -To revert to the old behaviour, use: - - (setq add-log-time-format 'current-time-string) - -Or `M-x customize RET add-log RET'. - -** In ChangeLog mode, you can now press `C-c C-c' to save the file -and restore old window configuration, or `C-c C-k' to abandon the -changes. - -** The key `C-x m' no longer runs the `mail' command directly. -Instead, it runs the command `compose-mail', which invokes the mail -composition mechanism you have selected with the variable -`mail-user-agent'. The default choice of user agent is -`sendmail-user-agent', which gives behavior compatible with the old -behavior. - -C-x 4 m now runs compose-mail-other-window, and C-x 5 m runs -compose-mail-other-frame. - -** When you kill a buffer that visits a file, if there are any -registers that save positions in the file, these register values no -longer become completely useless. If you try to go to such a register -with `C-x j', then you are asked whether to visit the file again. If -you say yes, it visits the file and then goes to the same position. - -** When you visit a file that changes frequently outside Emacs--for -example, a log of output from a process that continues to run--it may -be useful for Emacs to revert the file without querying you whenever -you visit the file afresh with `C-x C-f'. - -You can request this behavior for certain files by setting the -variable revert-without-query to a list of regular expressions. If a -file's name matches any of these regular expressions, find-file and -revert-buffer revert the buffer without asking for permission--but -only if you have not edited the buffer text yourself. - -** Gnuserv changes - -*** The Lisp part of gnuserv has been rewritten to allow for more -flexibility and features. - -*** Many new options and variables are now customizable. Try -`M-x customize RET gnuserv RET'. - -*** The functionality of `gnuattach' and `gnudoit' programs is -provided by `gnuclient', which now accepts the standard `-nw', -`-display', `-eval' and `-f' options. - -** Etags changes. - -*** In C, C++, Objective C and Java, Etags tags global variables by -default. The resulting tags files are inflated by 30% on average. -Use --no-globals to turn this feature off. Etags can also tag -variables that are members of structure-like constructs, but it does -not by default. Use --members to turn this feature on. - -*** C++ member functions are now recognized as tags. - -*** Java is tagged like C++. In addition, "extends" and "implements" -constructs are tagged. Files are recognised by the extension .java. - -*** Etags can now handle programs written in Postscript. Files are -recognised by the extensions .ps and .pdb (Postscript with C syntax). -In Postscript, tags are lines that start with a slash. - -*** Etags now handles Objective C and Objective C++ code. The usual C and -C++ tags are recognized in these languages; in addition, etags -recognizes special Objective C syntax for classes, class categories, -methods and protocols. - -*** Etags also handles Cobol. Files are recognised by the extension -.cobol. The tagged lines are those containing a word that begins in -column 8 and ends in a full stop, i.e. anything that could be a -paragraph name. - -*** Regexps in Etags now support intervals, as in ed or grep. The syntax of -an interval is \{M,N\}, and it means to match the preceding expression -at least M times and as many as N times. - -** Ada mode changes. - -*** There is now better support for using find-file.el with Ada mode. -If you switch between spec and body, the cursor stays in the same -procedure (modulo overloading). If a spec has no body file yet, but -you try to switch to its body file, Ada mode now generates procedure -stubs. - -*** There are two new commands: - - `ada-make-local' : invokes gnatmake on the current buffer - - `ada-check-syntax' : check syntax of current buffer. - -The user options `ada-compiler-make', `ada-make-options', -`ada-language-version', `ada-compiler-syntax-check', and -`ada-compile-options' are used within these commands. - -*** Ada mode can now work with Outline minor mode. The outline level -is calculated from the indenting, not from syntactic constructs. -Outlining does not work if your code is not correctly indented. - -*** The new function `ada-gnat-style' converts the buffer to the style of -formatting used in GNAT. It places two blanks after a comment start, -places one blank between a word end and an opening '(', and puts one -space between a comma and the beginning of a word. - -** New demand based locking implementation - -A faster, but experimental replacement for lazy-lock (called lazy-shot) is -provided. Like lazy-lock it provides demand based and idle time -font-lock-ing. However the lazy-lock versions that came with previous -versions slowed down XEmacs (possibly quite a lot). Lazy-shot solves -this problem by relying on new support from the C code part of XEmacs. -The support however is experimental and will cause some flashing as -parts of the buffer are colored. This likely to change in the future -as the C support is completed. - -The current lazy-shot implementation is mostly interface compatible -with lazy-lock v2.06 (the version shipped with XEmacs is v1.x). - -*** To enable: - 1. Despite the flashing, lazy-shot was deemed such an improvement by - the majority of beta testers that it is now the standard method - provided by the options menu. Alternatively add - - (add-hook 'font-lock-mode-hook 'turn-on-lazy-shot) - - to '.emacs'. - 2. If you were using lazy-lock before, just replace all occurrences of - "lazy-lock" by "lazy-shot" in your '.emacs' file. - -*** To disable: - -If prefer to use lazy-lock in stead of lazy-shot, put - - (remove-hook 'font-lock-mode-hook 'turn-on-lazy-shot) - (add-hook 'font-lock-mode-hook 'turn-on-lazy-lock) - -at the END of `.emacs'. - -** RefTeX mode - -RefTeX mode is a new minor mode with special support for \label{}, \ref{} -and \cite{} macros in LaTeX documents. RefTeX distinguishes labels of -different environments (equation, figure, ...) and has full support for -multifile documents. To use it, select a buffer with a LaTeX document and -turn the mode on with M-x reftex-mode. Here are the main user commands: - -C-c ( reftex-label - Creates a label semi-automatically. RefTeX is context sensitive and - knows which kind of label is needed. - -C-c ) reftex-reference - Offers in a menu all labels in the document, along with context of the - label definition. The selected label is referenced as \ref{LABEL}. - -C-c [ reftex-citation - Prompts for a regular expression and displays a list of matching BibTeX - database entries. The selected entry is cited with a \cite{KEY} macro. - -C-c & reftex-view-crossref - Views the cross reference of a \ref{} or \cite{} command near point. - -C-c = reftex-toc - Shows a table of contents of the (multifile) document. From there you - can quickly jump to every section. - -Under X, RefTeX installs a "Ref" menu in the menu bar, with additional -commands. Full documentation and customization examples are in the file -reftex.el. You can use the finder to view this information: -C-h p --> tex --> reftex.el - - -* Lisp and internal changes in XEmacs 20.3 -========================================== - -** Autoconf 2 is supported, making XEmacs more conforming to -conventions used by other free software. - -** `tty-erase-char' is a new variable that reports which character -was set up as the terminal's erase character at the time Emacs was -started. - -** It is now possible to attach the menubar accelerator keys to menu -entries. Look at the Lispref under Menus->Menu Accelerators for -details. - -** `insert-file-contents' can now read from a special file, -as long as the arguments VISIT and REPLACE are nil. - -** `string-to-number' now accepts an optional BASE argument that -specifies which base to use. The default base is 10. - -** The TIME argument to `format-time-string' is now optional and -defaults to the current time. - -** The PATTERN argument to `split-string' is now optional and defaults -to whitespace ("[ \f\t\n\r\v]+"). - -** `set-extent-properties' is a new function that can be used to -change properties of an extent at once, and is analogous to -`set-frame-properties'. - -** If a format field width is specified as `*', the field width is -now assumed to have been specified as an argument (as in C.) - - (format "%*s" 10 "abc") - => " abc" - -** The new macro `with-current-buffer' lets you evaluate an expression -conveniently with a different current buffer. It looks like this: - - (with-current-buffer BUFFER BODY-FORMS...) - -BUFFER is the expression that says which buffer to use. -BODY-FORMS say what to do in that buffer. -The old `eval-in-buffer' macro is obsoleted by `with-current-buffer'. - -** The new primitive `save-current-buffer' saves and restores the -choice of current buffer, like `save-excursion', but without saving or -restoring the value of point or the mark. `with-current-buffer' -works using `save-current-buffer'. - -** The new macro `with-temp-file' lets you do some work in a new buffer and -write the output to a specified file. Like `progn', it returns the value -of the last form. - -** The variable `debug-ignored-errors' now works in XEmacs. It allows -one to ignore the debugger for some common errors, even when -`debug-on-error' is t. It has no effect when `debug-on-signal' is -non-nil. - -** The new function `current-message' returns the message currently -displayed in the echo area, or nil if there is none. - -** File-access primitive functions no longer discard an extra redundant -directory name from the beginning of the file name. In other words, -they no longer do anything special with // or /~. The same goes for -`expand-file-name'. That conversion is now done only in -`substitute-in-file-name'. - -This makes it possible for a Lisp program to open a file whose name -begins with ~. - -** The regexp matcher has been extended to recognize the following -constructs, borrowed from Perl: - -*** Additional quantifiers. - -In addition to `*', `+' and `?', XEmacs now recognizes the following -quantifiers: - - \{n\} Match exactly n times - \{n,\} Match at least n times - \{n,m\} Match at least n but not more than m times - -*** Non-greedy quantifiers. - -Any of the standard quantifiers (`*', `+' and others) can now be -followed by an optional `?', which will make them become "non-greedy", -i.e. they will match as little text as possible. Note that the -meanings don't change, just the "gravity." - -*** Shy groups. - -The \(?: ... \) groups things like \( ... \), but doesn't record the -context for backreferences or future use. This is useful when you -need a lot of groups for the sake of priorities, but actually want to -record only one or two. - -** The new function `regexp-opt' returns an efficient regexp to match -a string. The arguments are STRINGS and (optionally) PAREN. This -function can be used where regexp matching or searching is intensively -used and speed is important, e.g., in Font Lock mode. - -** The featurep syntax has been extended to resemble the Common Lisp -one, as suggested by Erik Naggum. - -*** The `xemacs' feature is defined in XEmacs by default. - -*** The expression `#+fexp form' is equivalent to -(when (featurep fexp) form), only it is evaluated at read-time. Also, -`#-fexp form' is equivalent to (unless (featurep fexp) form). - -*** In addition to symbols, a FEXP can also be a number, or a logical -operator. Here are some examples: - ;; evaluates to non-nil on XEmacs: - (featurep 'xemacs) - ;; evaluates to non-nil on XEmacs 20.3 or later: - (featurep '(and xemacs 20.03)) - ;; evaluates to non-nil either on Emacs, or on XEmacs built without - ;; X support: - (featurep '(or emacs (and xemacs (not x)))) - - - -* Changes in XEmacs 20.2 -======================== - -** Why XEmacs 20.1 is called 20.2 - -Testing of XEmacs 20.1 revealed a number of showstopping bugs at the -very final moment. Instead of confusing the version numbers further, -the `20.1' designation was abandoned, and the release was renamed to -`20.2'. - -** Delete/backspace keysyms have been separated - -The Delete and Backspace keysyms are now no longer identical. A better -version of delbackspace.el has been added called delbs.el. - -** XEmacs 20.0 MULE API supported for backwards compatibility - -XEmacs 20.2 primarily supports the MULE 3 API. It now also supports -the XEmacs 20.0 MULE API. - -** The logo has been changed, and the default background color is -now a shade of gray instead of the eye-burning white. - -The sample .Xdefaults and .emacs files contain examples of how to -revert to the old background color. - -** Default modeline colors are now less of a color-salad. - -** The `C-z' key now iconifies only the current X frame. You can use -`C-x C-z' to get the old behavior. - -On the tty frames `C-z' behaves as before. - -** The command `display-time' now draws a pretty image in the modeline -when new mail arrives. It also supports balloon-help messages. - -** Various commands that were previously disabled are now enabled, like -eval-expression (`M-:') and upcase-region (`C-x C-u')/downcase-region -(`C-x C-l'). - -** It is now possible to customize the functions called by XEmacs toolbar. - -Type `M-x customize RET toolbar RET' to customize it. Customizations -include the choice of functions for the buttons to invoke, as well as -a wide choice of mailers and newsreaders to invoked by the respective -functions. - -** `temp-buffer-shrink-to-fit' now defaults to nil. - -There are unresolved issues regarding this feature, which is why the -XEmacs developers decided to disable it by default. - -** `ps-print-color-p' now defaults to nil. - -This is because the new default background color is non-white. The -`Printing Options' in the `Options' menu now include an item that -enables color printing, and sets the white background. - -** `line-number-mode' should be used to get line numbers in the -modeline, and `column-number-mode' to get column numbers. Line -numbers now number from 1 by default. - -** font-lock-mode will now correctly fontify `int a, b, c;' -expressions in C mode. - -** The blinking cursor is always "on" during movement. - -** The XEmacs build process has been changed to make site -administration easier. See lisp/site-load.el for details. - -** Numerous causes of crashes have been fixed. XEmacs should now be -even more stable than before. - -** configure no longer defaults to using --with-xim=motif if Motif libraries -are linked. - -There are many bugs in the Xlib XIM support in X11R6.3. - -** A number of new packages are added, and many packages were -updated. - -** Gnus-5.4.52, courtesy of Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen - -*** nntp.el has been totally rewritten in an asynchronous fashion. - -*** Article prefetching functionality has been moved up into -Gnus. - -*** Scoring can now be performed with logical operators like -`and', `or', `not', and parent redirection. - -*** Article washing status can be displayed in the -article mode line. - -*** gnus.el has been split into many smaller files. - -*** Suppression of duplicate articles based on Message-ID. - -(setq gnus-suppress-duplicates t) - -*** New variables for specifying what score and adapt files -are to be considered home score and adapt files. See -`gnus-home-score-file' and `gnus-home-adapt-files'. - -*** Groups can inherit group parameters from parent topics. - -*** Article editing has been revamped and is now usable. - -*** Signatures can be recognized in more intelligent fashions. -See `gnus-signature-separator' and `gnus-signature-limit'. - -*** Summary pick mode has been made to look more nn-like. -Line numbers are displayed and the `.' command can be -used to pick articles. - -*** Commands for moving the .newsrc.eld from one server to -another have been added. - - `M-x gnus-change-server' - -*** A way to specify that "uninteresting" fields be suppressed when -generating lines in buffers. - -*** Several commands in the group buffer can be undone with -`M-C-_'. - -*** Scoring can be done on words using the new score type `w'. - -*** Adaptive scoring can be done on a Subject word-by-word basis: - - (setq gnus-use-adaptive-scoring '(word)) - -*** Scores can be decayed. - - (setq gnus-decay-scores t) - -*** Scoring can be performed using a regexp on the Date header. The -Date is normalized to compact ISO 8601 format first. - -*** A new command has been added to remove all data on articles from -the native server. - - `M-x gnus-group-clear-data-on-native-groups' - -*** A new command for reading collections of documents -(nndoc with nnvirtual on top) has been added -- `M-C-d'. - -*** Process mark sets can be pushed and popped. - -*** A new mail-to-news backend makes it possible to post -even when the NNTP server doesn't allow posting. - -*** A new backend for reading searches from Web search engines -(DejaNews, Alta Vista, InReference) has been added. - - Use the `G w' command in the group buffer to create such - a group. - -*** Groups inside topics can now be sorted using the standard -sorting functions, and each topic can be sorted independently. - - See the commands under the `T S' submap. - -*** Subsets of the groups can be sorted independently. - - See the commands under the `G P' submap. - -*** Cached articles can be pulled into the groups. - - Use the `Y c' command. - -*** Score files are now applied in a more reliable order. - -*** Reports on where mail messages end up can be generated. - - `M-x nnmail-split-history' - -*** More hooks and functions have been added to remove junk -from incoming mail before saving the mail. - - See `nnmail-prepare-incoming-header-hook'. - -*** The nnml mail backend now understands compressed article files. - -** Custom 1.86, courtesy of Per Abrahamsen - -The Customize library enables Emacs Lisp programmers to specify types -of their variables, so that the users can customize them. - -Invoke the customizations buffer using the menus (Customize is at the -top of the Options menu), or using commands `M-x customize', -`M-x customize-variable' and `M-x customize-face'. Customize can save -the changed settings to your `.emacs' file. - -Customize is now the preferred way to change XEmacs settings. Tens of -packages have been converted to take advantage of the Customize -features, including Gnus, Message, Supercite, Psgml, Comint, W3, -cc-mode (and many other programming language modes), ispell.el, -ps-print.el, id-select.el, most of the programming language modes, and -many many more. - -See the "Lisp Changes" section later for a short description of why -and how to add custom support to your Lisp packages. Custom is also -documented in the XEmacs info manuals. - -** W3-3.0.86, courtesy of William Perry - -Version 3 of Emacs/W3, the Emacs World Wide Web browser, has been -included. It is significantly faster than any of the previous -versions, and contains numerous new features. - -** AUCTeX-9.7k, courtesy of Per Abrahamsen - -AUC TeX is a comprehensive customizable integrated environment for -writing input files for LaTeX using Emacs. - -AUC TeX lets you run TeX/LaTeX and other LaTeX-related tools, such as -a output filters or post processor from inside Emacs. Especially -`running LaTeX' is interesting, as AUC TeX lets you browse through the -errors TeX reported, while it moves the cursor directly to the -reported error, and displays some documentation for that particular -error. This will even work when the document is spread over several -files. - -AUC TeX automatically indents your `LaTeX-source', not only as you -write it -- you can also let it indent and format an entire document. -It has a special outline feature, which can greatly help you `getting -an overview' of a document. - -Apart from these special features, AUC TeX provides an large range of -handy Emacs macros, which in several different ways can help you write -your LaTeX documents fast and painless. - -** redo.el-1.01, courtesy of Kyle Jones - -redo.el is a package that implements true redo mechanism in XEmacs -buffers. Once you load it from your `.emacs', you can bind the `redo' -command to a convenient key to use it. - -Emacs' normal undo system allows you to undo an arbitrary number of -buffer changes. These undos are recorded as ordinary buffer changes -themselves. So when you break the chain of undos by issuing some -other command, you can then undo all the undos. The chain of recorded -buffer modifications therefore grows without bound, truncated only at -garbage collection time. - -The redo/undo system is different in two ways: - -*** The undo/redo command chain is only broken by a buffer modification. - -You can move around the buffer or switch buffers and still come back -and do more undos or redos. - -*** The `redo' command rescinds the most recent undo without -recording the change as a _new_ buffer change. - -It completely reverses the effect of the undo, which includes making -the chain of buffer modification records shorter by one, to counteract -the effect of the undo command making the record list longer by one. - -** edmacro.el-3.10, courtesy of Dave Gillespie, ported to XEmacs by -Hrvoje Niksic. - -Edmacro is a utility that provides easy editing of keyboard macros. -Originally written by Dave Gillespie, it has been mostly rewritten by -Hrvoje Niksic, in order to make it distinguish characters and integer, -as well as to adapt it to XEmacs keysyms. - -Press `C-x C-k' to invoke the `edit-kbd-macro' command that lets you -edit old as well as define new keyboard macros. You can also edit the -last 100 keystrokes and insert them into a macro to be bound to a key -or named as a command. The recorded/edited macros can be dumped to -`.emacs' file. - -** xmine.el-1.8, courtesy of Jens Lautenbacher - -XEmacs now includes a minesweeper game with a full-featured graphics -and mouse interface.

Potortì - - -* Lisp and internal changes in XEmacs 20.2 -========================================== - -** `defcustom' and `defgroup' can now be used to specify types and -placement of the user-settable variables. - -You can now specify the types of user-settable variables in your Lisp -packages to be customized by users. To do so, use `defcustom' as a -replacement for `defvar'. - -For example, the old declaration: - -(defvar foo-blurgoze nil - "*non-nil means that foo will act very blurgozely.") - -can be rewritten as: - -(defcustom foo-blurgoze nil - "*non-nil means that foo will act very blurgozely." - :type 'boolean - :group 'foo) - -From a package writer's point of view, nothing has been changed -However, the user can now type `M-x customize RET foo-blurgoze RET' to -customize the variable. - -Other, more complex data structures can be described with `defcustom' -too, for instance: - -(defcustom foo-hairy-alist '((somekey . "somestring") - (otherkey . (foo-doit)) - (thirdkey . [1 2 3])) -"*Alist describing the hairy options of the foo package. -The CAR of each element is a symbol, whereas the CDR can be either a -string, a form to evaluate, or a vector of integers. -New Emacs users simply adore alists like this one." - :type '(repeat (cons (symbol :tag "Key") - (choice string - (vector (repeat :inline t integer)) - sexp))) - :group 'foo) - -The user will be able to add and remove the entries to the list in a -visually appealing way, as well as save the settings to his/her -`.emacs'. - -Note that `defcustom' will also be included in GNU Emacs 19.35, and -that both XEmacs and GNU Emacs will be using it in the future. -Although the user-interface of customize may change, the Lisp -interface will remain the same. This is why we recommend that you use -`defcustom' for user-settable variables in your new Lisp packages. - -** The `read-kbd-macro' function is now available. - -The `read-kbd-macro' function (as well as the read-time evaluated -`kbd' macro) from the edmacro package is now available in XEmacs. For -example: - -(define-key foo-mode-map (kbd "C-c ") 'foo-up) - -is completely equivalent to - -(define-key foo-mode-map [(control ?c) up] 'foo-up) - -The `kbd' macro is preferred over `read-kbd-macro' function , as it -evaluates before compiling, thus having no loading overhead. - -Using `kbd' is not necessary for GNU Emacs compatibility (GNU Emacs -supports the XEmacs-style keysyms), but adds to clarity. For example, -(kbd "C-?") is usually easier to read than [(control ??)]. The full -description of the syntax of keybindings accepted by `read-kbd-macro' -is documented in the docstring of `edmacro-mode'. - -** Overlay compatibility is implemented. - -The overlay support in XEmacs is now functional. Written by Joe -Nuspl, the overlay compatibility library overlay.el is implemented on -top of the native XEmacs extents, and can be used as a GNU -Emacs-compatible way of changing display properties. - -** You should use keysyms kp-* (kp-1, kp-2, ..., kp-enter etc.) -rather than the old form kp_*. The new form is also compatible with -GNU Emacs. - -** The keysyms mouse-1, mouse-2, mouse-3 and down-mouse-1, -down-mouse-2, and down-mouse-3 have been added for GNU Emacs -compatibility. - -** A new user variable `signal-error-on-buffer-boundary' has been -added. - -Set this to variable to nil to avoid XEmacs usual lossage of zmacs -region when moving up against a buffer boundary. - -** lib-complete.el was MULE-ized. - -The commands `find-library', `find-library-other-window' and -`find-library-other-frame' now take an optional coding system -argument. - -** Experimental support for Lisp reader macros #-, #+. - -The Common Lisp reader macros for feature test are now supported. This -feature is present for evaluation purposes and is subject to change. - -** `values' now has a setf method - -** The `eval-after-load' and `eval-next-after-load' functions are -now available. - -** A bug that prevented `current-display-table' to be correctly set -with `set-specifier' has been fixed. - -** The bug in easymenu which prevented multiple menus from being -accessible through button3 has been fixed. - -You can now safely use easymenu to define multiple menu entries in a -compatible way, with the added menus accessible via button3 as local -submenus. - -** Many bugs in the scrollbar code have been fixed. - -** First alpha level support of MS Windows NT is available, courtesy -of David Hobley and Marc Paquette. - -** Wnn/egg now has initial support Courtesy of Jareth Hein. - -** Some old non-working code has been removed until someone chooses -to work on it. - -This includes much of the NeXTStep stuff. The VMS support is also -likely to be removed in the future. - -** Many files have been purged out of the etc/ directory. - -If you still need the purged files, look for them in the GNU Emacs -distribution. - - -* Major Differences Between 19.14 and 20.0 -=========================================== - -XEmacs 20.0 is the first public release to have support for MULE -(Multi-Lingual Emacs). The --with-mule configuration flag must be -used to enable Mule support. - -Many bugs have been fixed. An effort has been made to eradicate all -XEmacs crashes, although we are not quite done yet. The overall -quality of XEmacs should be higher than any previous release. XEmacs -now compiles with nary a warning with some compilers. - --- Multiple character sets can be displayed in a buffer. The file - mule-doc/demo in the distribution contains a greeting in many - different languages. - --- Although the Mule work is for all languages, particular effort has - been invested in Japanese, with particular focus on Japanese users - of Sun WorkShop. Many menubar labels have been translated into - Japanese. Martin Buchholz, the maintainer of MULE features within - XEmacs normally runs XEmacs in a Japanese language environment. - Some of the other contributors are Japanese, most importantly - Morioka Tomohiko, author of the TM package, providing MIME support - for Mail and News. - --- Input for complex Asian languages is supported via XIM, a mechanism - introduced in X11R5 to allow applications to get localized input - without knowledge of the language. The way XIM works is that when - the locale has a complex character set, such as Japanese, and extra - minibuffer-like status window appears attached to various - application windows, and indicates the status of the input method. - Composed input in XEmacs should work the same as with other - applications. If Motif and Mule support is configured into XEmacs, - then XIM support is automatically configured in as well. - --- TM (Tools for Mime) now comes with XEmacs. This provides MIME - (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) support for Mail and News. - The primary author is Morioka Tomohiko. - --- Japanese input can also be input using the `canna' input method. - This support was contributed by Morioka Tomohiko. Setting up canna - usually requires more user effort (and better knowledge of Japanese!) - than XIM, but provides a better-integrated input method. - --- A mini-tutorial on using Mule: - - -- Every time data passes between XEmacs and the rest of the - environment, via file or process input or output, XEmacs must - convert between its internal multi-character representation and - the external representation (`coding system'). Many - difficulties with Mule are related to controlling these coding - system conversions. - - -- file-coding-system, file-coding-system-for-read, - overriding-file-coding-system, and file-coding-system-alist - are used to determine the coding systems used on file input - and output. - - -- For each process, (set-process-input-coding-system) and - (set-process-output-coding-system) determine the coding - system used for I/O from the process. - - -- Many other things are encoded using pathname-coding-system: - -- file and directory names - -- window manager properties: window title, icon name - -- process names and process arguments - -- XIM input. - - -- In many cases, you will want to have the same values for all - the above variables in many cases. For example, in a - Japanese environment, you will want to use the 'euc-japan - coding system consistently, except when running certain - processes that do byte-oriented, rather than - character-oriented I/O, such as gzip, or when processing Mail - or News, where ISO2022-based coding systems are the norm, - since they support multiple character sets. - - -- To add support for a new language or character set, start by - trying to copy code in japanese-hooks.el. - - -- The traditional pre-Mule data conversion is equivalent to the - 'binary coding system under Mule. In this case all characters - are treated as iso8859-1 (i.e. characters for English + Western - European languages). - - -- many fileio-related commands such as find-file and write-file - take an extra argument, coding-system, which specifies the - encoding to be used with the file on disk. For example, here is - a command that converts from the Japanese EUC to ISO2022 format: - - xemacs -batch -eval '(progn (find-file - "locale-start.el.euc" (quote euc-japan)) (write-file - "locale-start.el" nil (quote iso-2022-8-unix)))' - - Interactively, you can be prompted for a coding system by - providing a prefix argument to the fileio command. In - particular, C-u C-x C-f is a useful sequence to edit a file - using a particular coding system. - - -- In an Asian locale (i.e. if $LANG is set to ja, ko, or zh), - XEmacs automatically sets up a language environment assuming - that the operating system encodes information in the national - version of EUC, which supports English and the national - language, but typically no other character sets. - --- Command line processing should work much better now - no more order - dependencies. - --- Many many package upgraded (thanks go to countless maintainers): - - -- ediff 2.64 (Michael Kifer) - -- Gnus 5.2.40 (Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen) - -- w3 3.0.51 (Bill Perry) - -- ilisp 5.8 (Chris McConnell, Ivan Vasquez, Marco Antoniotti, Rick - Campbell) - -- VM 5.97 (Kyle Jones) - -- etags 11.78 (Francesco Potorti`) - -- ksh-mode.el 2.9 - -- vhdl-mode.el 2.73 (Rod Whitby) - -- id-select.el (Bob Weiner) - -- EDT/TPU emulation modes should work now for the first time. - -- viper 2.92 (Michael Kifer) is now the `official' vi emulator for XEmacs. - -- big-menubar should work much better now. - -- mode-motion+.el 3.16 - -- backup-dir 2.0 (Greg Klanderman) - -- ps-print.el-3.05 (Jacques Duthen Prestataire) - -- lazy-lock-1.15 (Simon Marshall) - -- reporter 3.3 (Barry Warsaw) - -- hm--html-menus 5.0 (Heiko Muenkel) - -- cc-mode 4.322 (Barry Warsaw) - -- elp 2.37 (Barry Warsaw) - - --- Many new packages have been added: - -- m4-mode 1.8 (Andrew Csillag) - -- crisp.el - crisp/brief emulation (Gary D.

Madsen) - --- New function x-keysym-on-keyboard-p helps determine keyboard - characteristics for key rebinding: - - x-keysym-on-keyboard-p: (KEYSYM &optional DEVICE) - -- a built-in function. - Return true if KEYSYM names a key on the keyboard of DEVICE. - More precisely, return true if pressing a physical key - on the keyboard of DEVICE without any modifier keys generates KEYSYM. - Valid keysyms are listed in the files /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h and in - /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB, or whatever the equivalents are on your system. - --- Installed info files are now compressed (support courtesy of Joseph J Nuspl) - --- (load-average) works on Solaris, even if you're not root. Thanks to - Hrvoje Niksic. - --- OffiX drag-and-drop support added - --- lots of syncing with 19.34 elisp files, most by Steven Baur - - -* For older news and for alternate news (the ones dealing with XEmacs -19.15 and 19.16), see the file ONEWS. diff --git a/lisp/mule/latin.el b/lisp/mule/latin.el deleted file mode 100644 index d886809..0000000 --- a/lisp/mule/latin.el +++ /dev/null @@ -1,248 +0,0 @@ -;;; latin.el --- Support for Latin charsets. - -;; Copyright (C) 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc. - -;; Author: Hrvoje Niksic -;; Maintainer: XEmacs Development Team -;; Keywords: multilingual, European, dumped - -;; This file is part of XEmacs. - -;; XEmacs is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it -;; under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by -;; the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) -;; any later version. - -;; XEmacs is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but -;; WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of -;; MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
