Check it out from CVS at the usual places (for anoncvs, use
CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs＠sunsite.dk:/pack/xemacscvs, password is "cvs").
Use tag "r21-4-6rc1".
The repository at SunSITE seems corrupt; the admin has been notified.
Do "cvs status version.sh" to check; if the server aborts because "an
expected branch is missing," it's not yet been fixed. Please report
any other errors or oddities, as they probably indicate a different
problem.
For immediate use, the usual set of tarballs and a patchkit against
r21-4-5 are available at
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.4/pretest
There are some pending changes, there will be at least one more rc
before 21.4.6 is publically released. Probably rc2 will happen at the
beginning of next week. If you feel you only want to test one, I
would prefer you get this one ASAP because I want as many people to
bang on the Custom fix for as long as possible. Try to make it do
weird things, try it for anything you think a "typical user" might do.
Main features to be tested:
1) A fix for the "can't frob italic face" bug. YMMV, but I at least
can now vary the size and family of italic. All hail Jan Vroonhof.
2) Some pearls for the GTK crowd, maybe. GTK faces will now get
initialized, courtesy of John Paul Wallington. John fears that
this then breaks face customization in some other way, but I don't
see how. He did not have Jan's patch, so perhaps things are
really all right now. Please test and let me know.
3) A full synch to Andy Piper's release of 21.4.5 for the Windows
people. Andy has moved on ahead, but maybe you do want to test
this branch anyway because of Jan's Customize fix.
4) A fix, actually two of them, for the "crash mysteriously on making
first frame" bug. GNU ld now literally stirs up your binary
before giving it back to you, leaving you fried. You can either
pass -z nocombreloc to ld, or use --pdump. Autoconfiscated,
should "just work". Bleeding edge Linux users, please test.
5) This time I really did kneecap IPv6 CNAME checks, which I promised
last time but somehow didn't make it into the release. It is of
course the RaitThang[tm], so you can have 'em if you want 'em with
--with-ipv6-cname=yes. This will get reversed at some later date,
but for now there are many more weakly connected people than
people with IPv6 environments.
6) For the eye candy crowd who wanna do it themselves, finally a
tutorial on things flashy and trashy. Kudos to Darryl Okahata.
C-h i "Lispref" "Glyph Examples".
7) Fixes for the autosave lossage in Japanese mail with VM, from
Kyle, for misdecoding of negative ctimes, from GNU via Simon
Josefsson, and for the failure of truncate-partial-width-windows
to live up to its billing as "buffer local" from Ben.
Many other small changes. I'd especially appreciate you Windows users
digging up all the regressions (well, yes, there may be regressions)
versus Andy's 21.4.5 (== the version available via netinstaller, aka
r21-4-5-windows in CVS).
Brief summary of Changes to 21.4.6 "Common Lisp (candidate 1)"
- Fix incorrect ctime to Lisp conversion.
- HP-UX LDFLAGS fix.
- Many typo fixes and small documentation enhancements.
- New section of examples of glyph usage in Lispref.
- Make `truncate-partial-width-windows' effect buffer-local.
- Suppress bogus focus changes.
- Fix custom's handling of font size and family.
- Fix comboreloc crash (common on Linux when making first frame).
- Default --with-ipv6-cname=no.
- From 21.4.5 "Civil Service (Windows)":

capability.

Not a 21.4 problem, it's in the packages. :-) (Yeah, Yeah, I know.
But give me a break, my time is finite. Steve Youngs will be back
online in a few days, I hope, and a lot of package issues will get
attention then.)
Unless it's a quoting problem somehow?
I suppose you've posted an example of the malformed URL?

Doesn't it happen when MSIE is used? Can you give an example? Maybe
you could find out what is required to make it work, I think
browse-url.el uses "open <URL>" as a command, passed to CMD.EXE. I'm

Its already fixed. It just needs someone to repackage browse-url
