This is a checkpoint release. There are still lots of issues to work
out, known crashes on Linux, etc. It builds on my box; that's the
only promise we're making at this point. If it _doesn't_ build on
yours, please send a build-report and report the problem to
xemacs-beta. If it does, we'd still appreciate a build report.
Many crashes and fatal problems have been fixed. TTYs now work.
For some values of 'work' :-)
Two - maybe related - issues, I see on my FreeBSD box:
- if I start 'xemacs -nw -vanilla', the RETURN key doesn't work most
of the time, eg. try to open a file. C-x C-f <filename> RET nothing
happens. This is worse when trying to get apropos-help, because you
can't get help on the listed functions and variables.
- the shell mode doesn't work, either. After I've entered a *shell*
buffer, I can't get over the first prompt.
Anybody else seeing something similar?
I don't see these problems on
XEmacs 21.4 (patch 8) "Honest Recruiter" [Lucid]
