XEmacs 21.2.24 is released. 24 years, 11 months

Martin Buchholz

User-visible release Engineering changes for this release: This announcement contains the ChangeLog entries for the release. The latest released beta now has the additional CVS tag `r21-2-latest'. We now have 3 levels of stability available via CVS: You can be at the bleeding edge, and use the latest CVS xemacs-21.2 sources. They are not guaranteed to even compile. cvs checkout -r release-21.2 You can get the latest released beta, available via tarball or, equivalently, via CVS. ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.2/xemacs-21.2.24.* cvs checkout -r r21-2-24 cvs checkout -r r21-2-latest Or you can use xemacs-21.1. xemacs-21.1 is on the trunk of CVS, although that is very likely to change soon. ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.8.* cvs checkout -A Brief summary of changes to 21.2.24 "Hecate" -- (coding-system-list) deals properly with coding system aliases, Shenghuo ZHU -- configure support for ESD sound rewritte, Martin Buchholz -- directory separator fix from Mike Alexander -- Windows process support cleanup, Adrian Aichner -- NT now encapsulates fstat to get correct file mod time, Adrian Aichner -------- ChangeLog entries from xemacs-21.2.24/ChangeLog ------- 1999-12-13 Martin Buchholz <martin(a)xemacs.org> * configure.in: * configure.usage: - Autodetect NAS.

Unfortunately it isn't > really possible to change the branch name after the fact :-( But as the idea is to move the 21.2 "branch" to the head that isn't really a problem. It just needed remember to create the 21.1 branch with "branch" in its name. Jan P.S. It is funny that although almost the complete free software community uses CVS as its tools nobody has come in and fixed at least the simple annoyances (or stepped in and helped accelerate PRCS 2.0 development)

You mean actually using that you know that you are invoking the same function each time and stuff like that? Jan

Has anybody noticed that this function doesn't work in 21.1 (patch 8) "Bryce Canyon"? For instance if I type C-h a test RET the first entry in the list of "Functions and Macros" is add-latest-path If I click mouse-2 on this link, I get the right doc opened up in a bottom window. But within this doc window, the following of links does not seem to work.

No matter how crowded it was, *removing* features the users depended on without explanation is not excusable. browse-url-kfm should go back. If it's crowded, then it should be proclaimed obsolete (with a warning that warns of the "correct" usage) and removed several years from now.

I think we should do that -- use EXTERNAL_LIST_LOOP and GCPRO the tail. XEmacs is already *very* stack-hungry and copies a lot. All unnecessary copying should be avoided. > - Bufbyte *p = XSTRING_DATA (seq); > - for (i = 0; i < leni; i++) > + /* The string data of `seq' might be relocated during GC. */ Also, someone could change the characters in the [0, i) range, and relocate string's chars under us by changing the byte length of a character before us. (See set_string_char() and resize_string().)

I can understand that browse-url-??? is getting too crowded, and maybe some would rather not add kfm. I think kde is so important that kfm does belong on the menu - but I don't want to force my preferences on everyone else.
