* XEmacs 21.4.19 "Constant Variable" is released. "Constant Variable" is the nineteenth in the OXYMORON series. The latest stable release of XEmacs, XEmacs 21.4.19 - "Constant Variable", is now available from xemacs.org and its mirrors. * Availability Anonymous ftp: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.4 See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/. As of 21.4.19, only a source tarball has been supplied. There was virtually no use of the info and elc tarballs, so xemacs-21.4.19.tar.gz and xemacs-21.4.19.tar.bz2 are the only tarballs supplied. If you already have a 21.4.18 source tree, a patchkit is available in xemacs-21.4.18-21.4.19.patch.gz. This does not update .elcs or .infos, they will be rebuilt when you make XEmacs. If you have an earlier version, you can repeatedly apply patchkits. The tarballs and patches are signed with my GPG key, available from most public keyservers and also from ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/pgp-keys/vin_shelton.asc Here are the MD5 check sums of each of the files related to the XEmacs 21.4.19 release: 0d2d255e2b362064959f329d522b137b xemacs-21.4.19.tar.bz2 768fd7a9b269dad14514f9bc7151cbc4 xemacs-21.4.19.tar.bz2.asc 3f753e2cc22a428c7d775339f29c7e46 xemacs-21.4.19.tar.gz 228a34085b6ffa1c4547dd3d8b24a1e1 xemacs-21.4.19.tar.gz.asc Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html. Anonymous (pserver) CVS: Anonymous CVS is available. We are very grateful to the staff at our host, SunSITE.dk, for a lot of help and quick reponse to all our requests. If you haven't used XEmacs CVS recently, we moved the repository before the 21.4.6 release. The repository structure is the same as before, so it should be possible to reuse an existing checked-out CVS tree. Take care that your Root is set correctly to CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/pack/xemacscvs On platforms with a Bourne shell and find available, something like for r in `find . -name Root`; do echo $CVSROOT > $r; done will convert your entire tree. Tags are also the same; to update to release 21.4.19, use the release tag "r21-4-19". To set a sticky tag which will always update to the current release, use the branch tag "release-21-4".

Golubev <gin(a)mo.msk.ru&gt; Merge from 21.5. * configure.in: Fixed `LDAP_OPT_ON' libraries configuration introduced in local 2005-03-13 change of `configure.in'. However, do not check for internal `-lber' `ber_pvt_opt_on' symbol as done in upstream. This symbol is not part of any published interface, it may exist or not exist, depending on openldap version. Cryptic comment before using it in upstream 21.5 source did not state precisely under which circumstances checking for it was useful, which sort of user code tried to link the symbol. So in local 21.5 dismissed both the code and the comment without writing a cleaner equivalent. * etc/NEWS: Document. 2005-12-13 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * etc/package-index.LATEST.gpg: Updated with latest package data. 2005-12-04 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * etc/OXYMORONS: insert 'Social Property' for 21.4.18. * etc/NEWS: document motif deprecation and defaulting --with-widgets to off. 2005-12-04 Ville Skyttä <scop(a)xemacs.org&gt; * etc/PACKAGES: Fix description of xetla. -------- ChangeLog Entries from lib-src/ChangeLog -------- 2006-01-28 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * XEmacs 21.4.19 is released -------- ChangeLog Entries from lisp/ChangeLog -------- 2006-01-28 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * XEmacs 21.4.19 is released 2006-01-03 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * easymenu.el: Update copyright. * easymenu.el (easy-menu-all-popups): Add a docstring. * easymenu.el (easy-menu-add): Document a bug, rework the function to preserve any existing non-default mode-popup-menu instead of overwriting it, and not to bother normalising the menu title (nothing else does). * easymenu.el (easy-menu-remove): Restore the default mode-popup-menu instead of leaving an empty one when we remove the last easy-menu popup. 2006-01-06 Adrian Aichner <adrian(a)xemacs.org&gt; * package-get.el (package-get-download-sites): Add pt.xemacs.org, as suggested by Rodrigo Ventura. * package-get.el (package-get-pre-release-download-sites): Ditto, with replacement of xemacs-21.5 by beta, which is the logical path to our beta core and package pre-releases. 2005-12-17 Adrian Aichner <adrian(a)xemacs.org&gt; * package-get.el (package-get-download-sites): Add Hong Kong download site. * package-get.el (package-get-pre-release-download-sites): Ditto. 2005-12-26 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * find-paths.el: * find-paths.el (paths-emacs-root-p): Add search for package root. * find-paths.el (paths-find-emacs-root): Replaced with paths-find-invocation-roots, which returns a list of roots. * find-paths.el (paths-find-invocation-roots): New. * find-paths.el (paths-find-emacs-roots): Call paths-find-invocation-roots. 2005-12-05 Ville Skyttä <scop(a)xemacs.org&gt; * minibuf.el (x-library-search-path): Add /usr(/local)/share/X11. * font.el (font-lookup-rgb-components): Ditto, remove stale comment. -------- ChangeLog Entries from lwlib/ChangeLog -------- 2006-01-28 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * XEmacs 21.4.19 is released -------- ChangeLog Entries from man/ChangeLog -------- 2006-01-28 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * XEmacs 21.4.19 is released 2005-12-07 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * xemacs-faq.texi (Q1.0.5): Updated the dates of my contributions. 2005-12-06 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * xemacs-faq.texi: copied from 21.5. -------- ChangeLog Entries from netinstall/ChangeLog -------- 2006-01-28 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * XEmacs 21.4.19 is released -------- ChangeLog Entries from nt/ChangeLog -------- 2006-01-28 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * XEmacs 21.4.19 is released 2006-01-28 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * XEmacs.iss: 21.4.19 version.
