So I have finally finalized my windows changes and produced binaries and a
new netinstaller for them. If you want to build XEmacs yourself then you
will need to sync to the windows-21-4 tag. If no problems are found with the
installer versions then I will tag the branch and make an announcement. The
pre-built installer versions can be found in the usual place:
http://ftp.xemacs.org/windows/setup.exe I'll get adrian to update the
webpage when we know its all sane.
I have fixed most of the problems people have reported with the installer -
so it should work ok on Windows 98. I have not been able to find the problem
with the connection usage. I have compared our sources with the cygwin
installer sources and can find no changes that would affect this. If anyone
wants to investigate this further I would be very grateful.
Thanks
andy
CHANGES-msw
This file briefly describes all mswindows-specific changes to XEmacs
in the OXYMORON series of releases. The mswindows release branch
contains additional changes on top of the "official" XEmacs
release. These changes are deemed necessary for XEmacs to be fully
functional under mswindows. It is not intended that these changes
cause problems on UNIX systems, but they have not been tested on UNIX
platforms. Caveat Emptor.
See the file 'CHANGES-release' for a full list of official changes.
to XEmacs 21.4.5 "Civil Service"
- Fixed a scrollbar problem when selecting the frame with focus.
- Fixed `mswindows-shell-execute' under cygwin.
- Added a new function `mswindows-cygwin-to-win32-path' for JDE.
- Added support for dialog-based directory selection.
- The installer version uses the 21.5 netinstaller. The 21.5
installer now does proper dde file association and adds uninstall
capability.
