FYI, the problem I reported in:
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200110/msg00207.html
Is still present in 21.4.6 as it was in 21.4.5, but not in 21.4.4.

Behavior of `face-spec-set-match-display()' differs from spec
22 years, 4 months

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
The docstring for face-spec-set-match-display(display &optional frame) says:
"If FRAME is nil or omitted, the selected frame is used."
However, the following two calls return different values for me:
(face-spec-set-match-display '((background dark)))
(face-spec-set-match-display '((background dark)) (selected-frame))
To reproduce,
- Set your background to black in custom and save
- Open a new xemacs (it should now have the black background)
- C-x 5 2
* Once you're in the new frame,
- M-S-; (face-spec-set-match-display '((background dark)))
* returns nil
- M-S-; (face-spec-set-match-display '((background dark)) (selected-frame))
* returns (dark)
I believe that this is because of a call to get-custom-frame-properties() here:
"... (let* ((props (get-custom-frame-properties frame)) ..."
get-custom-frame-properties() returns a value for the *default* frame if frame
is nil, not the *selected* frame. Thus, there is a docstring contradiction.

I have no problems with vetoes against patches for 21.4.X, just with
vetoes based on not liking a feature without giving a hint why.

Of course, there is no need to accept a coming patch in blank.

My suggestion (proposed patch) for changes came with
1. exact specification what I like to change in
`toggle-buffer-file-coding-system'.
2. with some addional(!) "try it and see" coding.
3. the offer to make a patch out of it (I wouldn't label it "try it and
see" patch).
> That's one of the things 21.5 is for.
As long as I can send the patch vs the XEmacs-21.4.5 sources, that's
fine with me[1].
It's your decision whether you consider a mini patch for a user command
not used by other lisp functions too experimental. Given the fact, that
users in comp.emacs.xemacs keep asking how change the eol type of files,
I would say that my patch would _de_crease maintenance work for
XEmcas-21.4.X, but that's just my opinion.

[1] I'll do that if I know the status of my other "real" patches.

Hi Steve, All,
is this "patch" still applicable to current calc.el?
I have verified line numbers of the hunks to match.
What's the merit of this patch?
Best regards,

================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
This may not be a bug per se but i hope you guys can tell me how
to fix it.
the problem is that i get this error message
"Searching for program: No such file or directory, diff"
when i try to do a compare between two buffers using the
Tools/Compare/Two Buffers
menu compand.
i have used this many times at other places i worked and had no
problem but here xemacs was not installed so i installed it myself
(i'm sure this is part of the problem) from your download site.
and as far as i could tell it installed itself without incident.
would you please tell me how to let xemacs know where the packages(?)
reside or how to load them (if that is the problem)?
thanks,
mike parks

XEmacs 21.4.6 "Common Lisp" is released.
22 years, 4 months
Stephen J. Turnbull
Stephen J. Turnbull
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to comp.emacs.xemacs as well.
* XEmacs 21.4.6 "Common Lisp" is released.
"Common Lisp" is the seventh in the OXYMORON series.
Relative to XEmacs 21.4.5 "Civil Service", it contains a critical fix
for the crash on displaying the initial X frame (common on "tester"
Linux distributions), and identification of a Motif bug resulting in
crashes on the Solaris platform, which requires application of vendor
patches to Motif.
There is a major fix in Customize which allows customization of the
"standard" italic, bold, and bold-italic faces. This has caused
further issues with Customize to surface, but there seem to be
acceptable workarounds available.
There are also two new sections in the Lispref, documenting packaging
and basic glyph (image) usage, the usual typo fixes, and some minor
bugfixes in the user interface and runtime. See the summary of
changes and detailed ChangeLogs below.
The first release in this series, Xemacs 21.4.0 "Solid Vapor",
contained a large number of improvements and extensions to the current
stable version, XEmacs 21.1.14. For more information about the
OXYMORON series, see etc/NEWS, the initial release announcement
http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/21.4.0.html
and the release planning page,
http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/Public-21.2/.
For general information about XEmacs, the developers, and the user
community, see our home page,
http://www.xemacs.org/.
* XEmacs 21.4.6 is "gamma" software.
Besides the usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/WARRANTY, sections
10 and 11), we are now experimenting with a level of stability
intermediate between "beta" and "stable", dubbed "gamma". At this
point all the developers and most of our beta testers trust the 21.4
code base with all their editing needs.
After several months of testing, XEmacs 21.4.6 has been shown
sufficiently stable to be recommended to all users. However, there
still remain a few outstanding problems with fontlock that must be
fixed before we retire 21.1.
* Availability
Anonymous ftp:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.4
See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/. (Note that the tarball breakdown
is slightly different from that implied for 21.1. For 21.4, the
xemacs-21.4.6.tar.gz tarball contains the full contents of the
xemacs-21.4.6-{src,elc,info}.tar.gz tarballs.)
If you already have a 21.4.5 source tree, a patchkit is available in
xemacs-21.4.5-21.4.6.patch.gz. This does not update .elcs or .infos,
they will be rebuilt when you make XEmacs.
Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see
http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html.
Windows branch and installers:
The Windows branch continues to have a few changes not yet
included in the mainline. It is definitely preferred to the
mainline for Windows users. See Andy Piper's announcement and
release notes for details.
The netinstaller should be available within a day or so. Andy
Piper will make an announcement. An InstallShield version
available as well, shortly thereafter.
Anonymous (pserver) CVS:
Anonymous CVS is once again available. We are very grateful to
the staff at our new host, SunSITE.dk, for a lot of help and quick
reponse to all our requests. Kudos to Adrian Aichner who did the
work of moving the repository to SunSITE, building on his experience
with the website.
The repository structure is the same as before, so it should be
possible to reuse an existing checked-out CVS tree. For
consistency with other projects at SunSITE.dk, both anonymous user
and CVS top directory have changed. The new setting is
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 21.4.6, use the
release tag "r21-4-6". To set a sticky tag which will always
update to the current release, use the branch tag "release-21-4".
Unique branch and release tags are assigned to the Windows branch.
See Andy Piper's announcement and release notes for details.
========================================================================
NEWS since 21.4.5 (paraphrase of CHANGES-Release)
** User interface changes
- (**) Changing coding system marks buffer as modified.
- (**) More file/directory dialogs available on Windows.
- (**) In replace-regexp, subexpression replacement supported.
- (**) truncate-partial-windows now buffer-local in redisplay.
** Known new problems
- Windows: fix to face customization does not work correctly on
Windows. Use the 21.4.6 (Windows) version.
- GTK: fix to face customization broke GTK customization. Probably
fixed in 21.4.7.
- Unix: fix to face customization results in strange-sized faces.
Customize them (now possible due to fix :-/). Possibly fixed in 21.4.7.
** Crashes resolved
Sun/Solaris:
- Motif bug causes intermittent crashes. Patch Motif: see PROBLEMS.
GNU GCC:
- Common subexpression optimization caused an illegal pointer
reference in regexp replace; fixed.
GNU ld (common on Linux):
- `-z combreloc' causes crash on initial frame. Upgrade XEmacs to 21.4.6.
Alternatively, configure with --pdump.
** Runtime bugs squashed
All platforms:
- Search data-directory for package index, resolves some "wrong type
argument: stringp, nil" errors in package updates.
- Autosave files are now saved in current coding system (where file
coding supported). This resolves the "doubled escape" bug common
in Japanese mail files, but increases the chance that autosave
files will contain garbage (because the buffer contents cannot be
saved correctly in the current coding system).
- `--with-ipv6-cname' defaults to "off"; should fix most slow start issues
- Failure to save certain customizations fixed.
- Ability to customize fonts improved, especially the "cannot
customize italic" bug
- Window loop now properly iterates over multiple devices; some
problems with wrong window being selected (eg, with gnuclient)
resolved.
- Negative ctimes (ie, seconds before epoch) supported better.
- Certain infloops in password prompts, etc, fixed.
- Make space for symbols defined in modules in Lisp symbol tables
GTK:
- Errors due to pop-up menu API fixed.
Windows:
- Cygwin URL handling in shell calls fixed.
- Inability to select directories fixed.
- File handle leak in pipes fixed.
** Install procedure changes
Windows:
- Update netinstaller to most recent Cygwin version, initial support
for "uninstall"
** Build problems resolved, other build changes
HP-UX:
- LDFLAGS not respected. Upgrade XEmacs to 21.4.6.
Windows:
- Initial VC.NET support.
- New release build script.
** Documentation
- New node on "packaging" for library developers in Lispref.
- New section of examples of glyph usage in Lispref.
- Many documentation and comment typo fixes.

Fine. I hope that this means that my patch is approved.

Err, yes, sorry for the confusion. Now I understand you concern: I can
understand that the lisp files in XEMACS-21.4.5/lisp/ shouldn't require
anything from XEMACS-PACKAGES/lisp/fsf-compat/...

If our version would be too different from Emacs one, we would continue
to have an outdated version due to ressource limits.

At least I'll try. BTW, there are quite a few XEmacs compatibility
issues mentioned in EMACS-21.1/lisp/ChangeLog.
But since I have to work on s/th else now I would appreciate if my patch
will be approved first.
