Jareth sent mail about this a week or two ago. Something about gifreader not containing GIF writing code. The change has actually been there since b43.... -lipp

CVS access to package source 26 years, 5 months

Kevin Oberman

Thanks to Adrian and Jareth I now think I know how to deal with CVS (and have it running on my system). The tutorial from Cal Poly was especially useful. Now the only issue remaining is write access to the package. Who do I need to "see" about this? Thanks again, R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

Wouldn't it be better to try find the real cause? Yep... I'll try... By the way (perhaps someone has an idea): the crash occurs only AFTER the drop (i.e. I can see that the text gets inserted, and then XEmacs crashes). Perhaps it has something to do with the evaluation of the misc-user event? Regards, Oliver.

You can switch this off if you wish and the usual Andy> plists override as you would expect. Hello Andy, applying the patch and building went fine. XEmacs comes up 80x35. However, neither default-frame-plist - Plist of default values for frame creation, other than the first one. nor initial-frame-plist - Plist of frame properties for creating the initial X window frame. makes XEmacs come up the specified size. Only typing at it (I typically start with C-x C-b) will make it re-size and re-position as specified. Is this problem (which I've seen with Native Windows NT - XEmacs ever since) supposed to be fixed by your patch? No matter what, XEmacs is definitely THE KILLER APP on my Windows NT Workstation!

XEmacs 21.0-b44/pre1 "Swedish Landrace" is released 26 years, 5 months

SL Baur

The next edition of XEmacs 21.0 has been uploaded to the ftp site. ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/ CVS sources are at http://cvs.xemacs.org/ Installable Lisp packages are in: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/packages/binary-packages/ The CVS tag for this beta is `r21-0b44'. To read about the Swedish Landrace Goat please see: http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/goats/swedish/index.htm * Comments We are now officially in feature freeze with code freeze right around the corner. There are minor code changes from beta43 and a number of documentation changes. Most patches to code past this point will be deferred to 21.1 or later unless they solve critical problems. "Critical" means fixing core dumping and/or potential loss of data problems, fixing non-compile on a certain platform, or certain user interface changes which haven't still been nailed down. Info directory processing has hopefully been improved. Note that in order to see the new entries present in updated manuals, you might have to remove an existing `dir' file left by a previous XEmacs 21-beta. Note that while the tarballs have naming consistent with previous XEmacs betas, this version will default to having debug and error checking turned off. Hopefully, you should be able to crank up the optimization on it. * Updated packages ** Packages with code changes vm-1.08 VM-6.50 (MS Windows fixes among other changes) edit-utils-1.24 recent-files fix, cosmetic fix for after-save-commands.el, update to backup-dir.el os-utils-1.08 lpr.el fix, concat bug in jka-compr.el fix texinfo-1.08 Updates so it can process all XEmacs manuals tm-1.08 Usability enhancements, added direntry to manual NOTE: If the *-ja.info files cause a non-Mule XEmacs to choke, you should remove them. mail-lib-1.16 browse-url-grail fix eudc-1.08 Update to eudc-1.08. ** Packages with no code changes (documentation changes only) mailcrypt-1.04 calc-1.05 forms-1.06 cc-mode-1.11 mh-e-1.05 hm--html-mode-1.06 vhdl-1.04 supercite-1.07 rmail-1.03 ilisp-1.04 Add direntry to manual * Recent Changes Sound files are now located in an external package. Please load the sounds-au (Sun sounds), or sounds-wav (Microsoft sounds) as appropriate for your platform. Sounds and xbms are now supported on Microsoft Windows. *IMPORTANT* xemacs-base has been updated since beta40. Please download and install the new version before starting. The function `kbd' in edmacro.el has been moved into the XEmacs core. *IMPORTANT* pcl-cvs has a critical bug fix due to an XEmacs interface change starting in beta40. If you are using pcl-cvs please upgrade to the new version. We've decided to push forward on Drag'n'Drop and try to get _something_ into the 21.0 release. Hopefully it will be something better than just wildly experimental. Please see the tests in tests/Dnd (droptest.el and dragtest.el) and give them a spin and see well they work or don't work. There's a lot of new MS Windows support in this, including toolbar, processes, and Xpm. I'm happy with the package path/startup path stuff for the first time in a number of betas. Hopefully, we're past the worst of the changes. All path stuffs should work again. The configure option --gung-ho now controls whether minimal tagbits and indexed lrecords are used. Please test the -elc tarball with this beta. I've generated it from a tty-only build for testing. While this should work (and the build now currently assumes it does work), and it seems to work for me, it needs as much testing as possible prior to release. Canna detection should work better. LDAP support should build and run. Multicast support should build and run. The default target of `make' is to build everything. This is almost what `make dist' used to do except that finder-inf.el (the finder database) gets properly bytecompiled. DLL support is now autodetected. The configure option `--with-dlmalloc' has been added so that gmalloc.c can still be used on systems with the Doug Lea new GNU Malloc. The Installation file format has changed slightly -- the version number is now printed in the summary, old copies are not retained, so if you wish old copies you will have to make the copy by hand. The Installation summary is available via the command M-x describe-installation. `XEmacs' can be used for X resources. This feature needs further testing but appears to work. dlmalloc now works with mmap'ping enabled for Linux Libc5 systems. I'm very interested in reports on how XEmacs' virtual memory footprint changes with time with dlmalloc. My own experiences with mmap disabled (only for glibc-2.0 and Mule) show a net win over 20.4. I'm hoping mmap improves things further. The source-packages subdirectory on the FTP site has been abolished in favor of distributing Lisp sources via CVS. The minimum required packages are the following: [Only xemacs-base updated since the last beta, the package version number is relatively unimportant] xemacs-base-1.20-pkg.tar This package contains core functionality not dumped into XEmacs. It includes things like the debugger, comint, ring, etc. mail-lib-1.16-pkg.tar This package contains core functionality common to mail and newsreading. *NOTE:* As of beta39, you must use mule-base-1.16 or later. Note also, as of beta34, overlay.el has been moved to the fsf-compat package. As of beta40, you must have xemacs-base-1.20 or later. If you are building with Mule, you will need to have the mule-base package installed *prior* to dumping XEmacs or you will lose. If you see messages about mule-charset not found, or get a bomb immediately after seeing a message about `loading ... dialog', then you need to stop and install the mule-base package. Other various packages need to be installed prior to dumping XEmacs. They are marked with `dump t' in the package description, see package-get-base.el and package-get.el for an interface. ** ImageMagick has gone away courtesy of Jareth Hein. ** The generalization of the XEmacs internals has continued. Quoting Kyle Jones: If you're feeling maximally gung, add -DUSE_MINIMAL_TAGBITS and -DUSE_INDEXED_LRECORD_IMPLEMENTATION to your compiler flags when you build 20.5. If all is well XEmacs should build and run normally. Update: These options are now enabled by specifying `--gung-ho'. -DUSE_MINIMAL_TAGBITS will be automatically set if using dlmalloc. NOTE: It should *never* be required to use these options for proper operation of XEmacs (with the single exception of -DUSE_MINIMAL_TAGBITS for dlmalloc). A failure _without_ these options set is a bug that needs to be fixed. ** Chinese and Korean Wnn server support has been added to LEIM. Someone familiar to cWnn and kWnn will need to test this out. I haven't heard any reports positive or negative yet. * Futures ** 21.0-pre2 is scheduled for Saturday, June 27. ** The highest priorities are testing and bug fixing. For those not acquainted with recent XEmacsen (things have changed since 20.3/21.0-b11), there are 4 files in the distribution. Each file has been PGP signed. *** xemacs-21.0-b43-21.0-b44.patch.gz This is a patch from the previous release. Please see the file etc/BETA for patching instructions. As of beta13 we're through the worst of the reorganizations and patching should be pretty smooth from here on out. *** xemacs-21.0-b44.tar.gz This is the core distribution without bytecompiled lisp and without processed texinfo manuals. If you are on a fast machine with a possibly slow connection to the FTP site, this is all you need for an XEmacs non-mule. Untar it, run configure, then run `make' and `make install'. *** xemacs-21.0-b44-info.tar.gz This the processed texinfo manuals. If you have makeinfo installed and your machine has any kind of decent speed, it is quicker to run `make info' from the toplevel and rebuild it yourself than it is to download and untar it. You will need a fairly recent version of makeinfo in order to be able process all the info documentation. At least `makeinfo (GNU texinfo 3.11) 1.68' is recommended. Note that the latest version of GNU texinfo is now 3.12. *** xemacs-21.0-b44-elc.tar.gz This is the bytecompiled lisp. It was freshly bytecompiled from scratch prior to distribution. to 21.0 pre1 "Swedish Landrace" -- package-get-base synchronized with latest packages -- MULE-ize eldap.c from Hrvoje Niksic -- ntplay fix from Andy Piper -- info fixes from Oscar Figueiredo -- list-mode fix from Christoph Wedler -- Gnuclient SIGHUP fix from Jim Radford
