In principle there should be no user interface +changes listed here, since this is intended to be a stable series. In +practice, some bugfixes do involve user-visible changes. In general +users should be happy about them, but they may affect workarounds you +have put in place. So those that do are noted here with (**). + +Also, the MS Windows platform support is not fully mature, and the GTK +platform support is explicitly experimental. In those cases +improvements that provably do not affect other platforms are accepted. +The platform affected is noted, and the change is flagged (**). + +Fixing a critical bug is not considered a "user interface change" in the +sense that there should be no way for it to interfere with you getting +more work done. + +Where there are many changes, they will be grouped into run-time, +build-time, and "documentation and data" changes. + +For more details, including developers involved and dates, see the +ChangeLogs, or use CVS diff to view the patches. + +to XEmacs 21.4.4 "Artificial Intelligence" + + - (**) There is a bug in "window procedures" under MS Windows only. + Non-debug builds print a warning on stderr, and you may want to + consider XEmacs unstable (save and restart) if you see it (debug + builds assert here). + - Printing the selection is implemented for MS Windows + - C-g now works on MS Windows + - Kinsoku (text wrapping for Asian scripts) fixes + - "Scrolling with no scrollbar" crash on MS Windows fixed + Krause). + - Case conversion works for Cyrillic + - Help is available with C-x s + - M-x locate-library completes library names + - (**) `replace-match' supports FSF-style match subexpressions + - `compose-mail' is supported in about.el + - (**) Renaming custom.el to inhibit loading it works + - (**) "Reset to standard" works with "set" and "saved" Custom + buffers + - `Unbalanced parentheses' bug when dealing with mixed comment + styles in c++/java/etc. mode fixed + - Byte-compiler optimization fixes + - Dired can handle directory names with unusual characters + - Popup menus work with popup-menu-titles turned off + - (**) M-? now invokes Help + - Data corruption in network streams on MS Windows fixed + - A few improvements and bug fixes in GTK support. + + - (**) EsounD support is no longer autodetected; you must explicitly + request it.
