* XEmacs 21.5.33 "horseradish" is released. "horseradish" is the thirty-fourth in the VEGETABLE series. The successor to XEmacs 21.5.32 "habanero", "horseradish" adds a few minor fixes and improvements. The Help menu has been reorganized, and there have been a number of syncs to GNU Emacs which are mostly useful for supporting syncs of specific packages. The most generally useful improvement is probably new support for the [remap] syntax in `define-key'. This is the development line. The current series started with XEmacs 21.5.0 (an alias for XEmacs 21.4.0 "Solid Vapor", the first release in the current stable line). 21.5 is the code base for introduction of major new subsystems and fixes to design bugs that experience shows will introduce instability. So far the main effort has been on improved support for Unicode, updates to the build infrastructure, and development of new features in memory allocation. For general information about XEmacs, the developers, and the user community, see our home page, http://www.xemacs.org/ * XEmacs 21.5.33 is "beta" software. The usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/COPYING, sections 10 and 11) applies. At this point in time, it is the version that most developers are using for their daily work. However, it is certain that many bugs remain and new ones will be introduced as development proceeds. Be sure to take care to save your work often and follow a regular backup regime. * Availability Anonymous ftp: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.5 See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/ for more information about building from source. If you already have a 21.5.32 source tree, a patchkit is available in xemacs-21.5.32-21.5.33.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. Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html. Mercurial repository: http://hg.debian.org/hg/xemacs/xemacs-beta This is a read-only Mercurial repository. To check out XEmacs 21.5.33, use the command hg clone %(releaseSpec) http://hg.debian.org/hg/xemacs/xemacs-beta to create a new Mercurial workspace, or hg pull -u %(releaseSpec) if you already have a local workspace from Mercurial. To update to the most recent commits to the official repository, use hg pull -u tip For more details, see http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/hgaccess.html . * Brief summary of Changes to XEmacs 21.5.33 "horseradish" Major Features, Bugfixes, and Backward Incompatible Changes -- Nothing major this time. -- nobody User-Visible Bug Fixes and Improvements -- Improve: Reorganize default menubar. -- Stephen J.

Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; * XEmacs 21.5.33 "horseradish" is released. 2012-12-24 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; (Fself_insert_command): Oops, Aidan renamed make_int to make_fixnum. Adjust my patch to match. Thank you, Mr. Buildbot (and matsl! :-) 2012-12-24 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; * cmds.c (Fself_insert_command): Allow noninteractive call with null argument. 2012-12-24 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; Based on patch by Benson and Steven Mitchell on XEmacs Beta <50D16FF7.4090708(a)bnin.net&gt;. * sequence.c (venn): Fix bug in handling null arguments. Add null set short circuits, conditional on caller is `subsetp'. 2012-10-18 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; * fontcolor-xlike-inc.c (xft_find_charset_font): Improve charset not in table warning message. 2012-11-06 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * keymap.c (define_key_check_and_coerce_keysym): When worrying about GNU Emacs-like keysym syntax, if the symbol name starts with c-whatever (or s-whatever, or m-whatever), check for a function binding for that before erroring. Otherwise command remapping and C mode interact badly, since most of the C mode commands are regarded as GNU Emacs-style keysyms. 2012-11-06 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * keymap.c (event_binding): Do command remapping here for interactive lookups; avoids a relatively expensive repeated call to get_relevant_keymaps(), as was necessary in 7371081ce8f7 (which changeset has been backed out). 2012-10-14 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; Respect face and display table information in the minibuffer prompt. Thanks for the bug report, Nelson Ferreira! * redisplay.c (struct prop_block): Add entries representing the minibuffer prompt explicitly to the union here. * redisplay.c (add_propagation_runes): Respect the face and the display table for the minibuffer prompt here. * redisplay.c (regenerate_window): Use the new union members when passing the minibuffer prompt info to add_propagation_runes(). 2012-09-16 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * editfns.c (Fformat_time_string): Accept GNU's UNIVERSAL argument, which means we call gmtime() instead of localtime(). Thanks for the report of org-mode incompatibility, Matsl! 2012-09-07 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * file-coding.c: * file-coding.c (snarf_coding_system): Take a new parameter, FIND_CODING_SYSTEM_P, which indicates that find_coding_system() should be called. * file-coding.c (look_for_coding_system_magic_cookie): * file-coding.c (determine_real_coding_system): * file-coding.c (undecided_convert): Use this parameter. * file-coding.c (Ffind_coding_system_magic_cookie_in_file): New, moved from files.el, so we can use look_for_coding_system_magic_cookie's implementation. * file-coding.c (syms_of_file_coding): Make Ffind_coding_system_magic_cookie_in_file available. 2012-09-05 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * keymap.c: * keymap.c (Fdefine_key): * keymap.c (remap_command): * keymap.c (Fremap_command): Don't sanity-check commands to be remapped with the (define-key KEYMAP [remap COMMAND1] COMMAND2) syntax, for better compatibility with GNU Emacs. Thank you Robert Pluim! 2012-09-02 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * regex.c (re_search_2): * regex.c (re_match_2): If the mirror syntax table is dirty, update it before the search, preventing a malloc() inside the search code, something which isn't allowed. Thank you Henry Thompson! 2012-08-12 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * specifier.c (define_specifier_tag): GC protect the list that Fcharset_list () gave back, it's freshly consed. Clear the alist entries for this tag in CHARSET's tag list if the charset_predicate is nil, so re-creating a charset tag works more effectively. * specifier.c (Fdefine_specifier_tag): Device-type-specific tags *are* available, even if that device type isn't; see specifier.el. 2012-08-06 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * lread.c (read1): * print.c (print_symbol): Adopt GNU's ## syntax for the interned symbol with the zero-length name. 2012-09-02 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * keymap.c: Add command remapping, a more robust equivalent to #'substitute-key-definition. * keymap.c (CHECK_REMAPPING_POSITION): New. * keymap.c (keymap_equal): Correct a comment here. * keymap.c (Fdefine_key): Document the command remapping syntax. * keymap.c (Fremap_command): New. * keymap.c (command_remapping): New. * keymap.c (Fcommand_remapping): New. * keymap.c (commands_remapped_to_mapper): New. * keymap.c (commands_remapped_to_traverser): New. * keymap.c (Fcommands_remapped_to): New. * keymap.c (get_relevant_keymaps): Take a new POSITION argument. * keymap.c (Fcurrent_keymaps, event_binding): Supply the new POSITION argument to get_relevant_keymaps. * keymap.c (Fkey_binding): Add new arguments, NO-REMAP and POSITION. * keymap.c (map_keymap_mapper): * keymap.c (Fwhere_is_internal): * keymap.c (where_is_to_char): * keymap.c (where_is_recursive_mapper): Don't expose the key remapping in these functions. This conflicts with GNU, but is more sane for our callers. Access to command remapping is with the functions #'command-remapping, #'commands-remapped-to, and #'remap-command, not with the general keymap functions, apart from the compatibility hack in #'define-key. * keymap.c (syms_of_keymap): * keymap.c (vars_of_keymap): * keymap.c (complex_vars_of_keymap): * lisp.h: New CHECK_COMMAND macro. -------- ChangeLog Entries from tests/ChangeLog -------- 2013-01-04 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; * XEmacs 21.5.33 "horseradish" is released. 2012-12-19 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; * automated/lisp-tests.el: Add tests of #'subsetp. Thanks Steven and Benson Mitchell <smitchell(a)bnin.net&gt;. 2012-12-14 Mats Lidell <matsl(a)xemacs.org&gt; * automated/register-tests.el: New. Test for register.el. Test case for bug in regular expression in describe-register-1 2012-10-13 Mats Lidell <matsl(a)xemacs.org&gt; * automated/process-tests.el: Simple test cases for call-process-shell-command. 2012-09-02 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * automated/regexp-tests.el: Make sure we can search for character ranges successfully when the syntax table is dirty. 2012-09-02 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * automated/keymap-tests.el: Test the new command remapping functionality. -- Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering University of Tsukuba http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
