I will be getting these announcements up on the web site this weekend. If no-one else has done so, I will also post to those groups. Is there a freshmeat.net equivalent for the Windows world where they should be announced? Has anyone sent the *nix 21.1.7 announcement to linux.announce? It is on freshmeat.net. john. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John S Jacobs Anderson Apprentice Geek jacobs(a)genehack.org Journeyman Molecular Biologist <URL:http://genehack.org/> <------- GeneHack: bioinfo*linux*opinion

Stacktraces and Glibc 25 years, 1 month

Jan Vroonhof

This is from HJ Lu's announcement for his forked gdb: ===== Problems: Because most of system calls in glibc 2 are written in assembly without frame pointer, gdb may not be able to debug nor get stack trace system calls on glibc-based 2 systems. Due to this, "make check" may fail in FAIL: gdb.base/a1-selftest.exp: backtrace through signal handler FAIL: gdb.base/signals.exp: bt in signals.exp with glibc 2. ===== could that be "our" problem where stack traces

The customize code was changed heavily in 21.2 (theme support) but it should not be much slower. Jan

saving customizations became _really_ slow 25 years, 1 month

Giacomo Boffi

i hve noticed that saving customizations has become _really_ slow do someone else noticed this behaviour? i'd say that it happened at some point in 21.2, as i have 21.0.67, aka 21.1, on hpux and it is _fast_ at saving options

*WHY* are we not putting minor release announcements (like the Windows binary kit) on comp.emacs.xemacs and comp.emacs? (And possibly gnu.announce?) We have a major publicity problem right now: The work on www.xemacs.org has alleviated some of it, but users still don't know what's happening in XEmacs release history. -- Cheers =8-} Chipsy Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla

Animated gif patch 25 years, 1 month

Andy Piper

This patch implements animated gifs, but also as a consequence optimizes the redisplay handling of glyphs and subwindows somewhat which I hope to use in optimizing layout handling. I have only tested this with one animated glyph so I'm guessing there may be some bizarre formats that are not handled correctly. I'm hoping I haven't broken gutter display in the process, the way I'm doing things now is more correct but also slightly different and therefore has the potential for new bugs. This patch was almost entirely coded on the train. andy 1999-10-05 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org> * redisplay.c: new state flags, subwindows_state_changed and subwindows_state_changed set. (redisplay_window): use them. (redisplay_device): ditto. (redisplay_without_hooks): ditto. (redisplay_frame): ditto. Reset subwindow cachels if subwindows_changed is set. (redisplay_window): call mark_glyph_cachels_as_clean after redisplaying. * redisplay-x.c (x_output_x_pixmap): select correct pixmap image for display depending on the currently selected slice. * redisplay-output.c (compare_runes): check dirtiness when checking RUNE_DGLYPH runes. (compare_display_blocks): relax invalidation of display blocks since we can now detect whether individual glyphs have changed or not. * redisplay-msw.c (mswindows_output_dibitmap): select correct bitmap image for display depending on the currently selected slice. * glyphs.h (struct Lisp_Image_Instance): add a dirty flag. (IMAGE_INSTANCE_DIRTYP): new macro. (XIMAGE_INSTANCE_DIRTYP): ditto. (MARK_IMAGE_INSTANCE_CHANGED): ditto. (GLYPH_DIRTYP): ditto. (XGLYPH_DIRTYP): ditto. (MARK_GLYPH_CHANGED): ditto. (GLYPH_CACHEL_DIRTYP): ditto. (struct glyph_cachel): add a dirty flag. * glyphs.c (update_frame_subwindows): Don't update on glyphs_changed. (glyph_animated_timeout_mapper): new function. Map over the instance cache lookinng for animated images to update. (Fglyph_animated_timeout_handler): new function. Lisp callback for handling animated image timeout events. (disable_glyph_animated_timeout): new function. Add the animated image timeout. (disable_glyph_animated_timeout): new function. Remove the animated image timeout. (syms_of_glyphs): initialize Qglyph_animated_timeout_handler and friends. (vars_of_glyphs): initialize Vglyph_animated_ticker. (image_instance_equal): add the currently displayed slice. (image_instance_hash): ditto. (allocate_glyph): initialize dirty flag. (glyph_width): rename glyph -> glyph_or_image. (glyph_height_internal): ditto. (glyph_dirty_p): new function. Determine whether the image instance in the domain and/or glyph is dirty. (set_glyph_dirty_p): set the dirtiness. (update_glyph_cachel_data): take dirtiness into account. Pass the image instance we are interested in to glyph_width and friends. (get_glyph_cachel_index): make non-static. Always call update_glyph_cachel_data. (mark_glyph_cachels_as_not_updated): meaningless formatting change. (mark_glyph_cachels_as_clean): new function. Clean dirtiness from glyph cachels. * glyphs-x.h (struct x_image_instance_data): change pixmap to a list of pixmaps. (IMAGE_INSTANCE_X_PIXMAP_SLICE): new macro.

My 2.7.2.3 compiled XEmacs with no changes to the tree but that patch works just fine, at least for the reproduction technique that killed it ever time before. GNUS picons and faces are working; I can happily read mail. Your crash my, perhaps, be some other bug, Didier? Daniel -- Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit. -- Henry Adams
