Configure fails with the above installed. I've established that changing the definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE from 500 to 1 works around the problem. Better minds than I will have to figure out why. -- Michael D.

M-up and M-down changed? 25 years, 1 month

Hrvoje Niksic

I've noticed that M-up and M-down no longer move by paragraphs, but by sentences instead. OTOH, C-M-up and C-M-down now move by paragraphs. Ben, is that your change? What's the motive behind it? I don't claim that the new behaviour is either better or worse than the old one, but I'm definitely used to the old bindings, so the change comes as a bit unnerving to my XEmacs-trained fingers.

Both Martin and Olivier agree on that. I'd like to add one more requirement: the API for declaring new types should be the same in modules as in normal XEmacs code. J. Kean Johnston invested much effort in making DEFUN work unchanged in modules (including but not limited to docstring … [View More]
