Re: [PATCH+RFD] Display tables -- fun for the whole family 25 years, 12 months

I've even implemented the display_table_instantiate() function and made the appropriate arrangements for the fallthrough to work, but I'm afraid the performance impact is tremendous -- no caching is possible, and specifier_instance() stuff needs to be called for every displayed character. Unacceptable. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!!

Re: New XEmacsen at long last (was Re: Who broke the (athena) scrollbar thumb?) 25 years, 12 months

[This is all 21.0 talk, what would be more proper long term solution is not the question now] Personally I do not care where one changes the code but what do want to propose replacing the (reset-face 'default) in face-spec-set in. A no-op (either by not calling reset-face or having reset-face be a no-op on default)? I think that is wrong. Suppose you previously has custom set the face to blue background and nothing else but now you change the custom spec to specify a different font but leave the background alone. Then I want the font to change to this new font with the original gray. background. If you do not undo the customizations then you get the new font with a blue background. Jan

So I > don't know what the right fix is. I think at the very least for 21.0 changing face-spec-set would be a good solution. It may be kludge but at least fixes two annoying bugs one of them slamming directly in the face of newbies. The question is, is there any chance of it breaking anything. [ding] Why don't we save the value of 'default' at startup time and then use that when reset-face'ing 'default. That happens to be exactly what custom needs? jan

XEmacs-21.2-beta4 is out 25 years, 12 months

SL Baur

This is taking much longer than I'm used to even with smaller tarballs to transfer. The .tar.bz2s and patches are uploaded to ftp.xemacs.org and cvs.xemacs.org is synched but I'm out of time for tonight and won't have 'net connectivity again until Saturday PM US/Pacific to finish things off. Next up is 21.0-pre15 (beta58) Pyrenean, to be ready hopefully some time this weekend.

Re: BUG REPORT: 21.2-b4 movemail changes broken on Solaris 25 years, 12 months

Hrvoje Niksic

FWIW, I agree with Martin. It would be even better if movemail used the regex.c distributed with XEmacs. Then we wouldn't need the configure check, and would have a workable regexp engine everywhere. (Normally I don't advocate reimplementing system functionality, but in this case we are already shipping the file, so...) -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?
