[ANNOUNCE] XEmacs 21.5.13 "cauliflower" is released.

* XEmacs 21.5.13 "cauliflower" is released. "cauliflower" is the 14th in the VEGETABLE series. The long standing TTY/keyboard bug, the one where RET was behaving like LFD, is gone! Yes, that's right folks, you can once again use XEmacs on a TTY. Full credit goes to Jerry James for fixing this. Thanks very much, Jerry. You're a legend! For general information about XEmacs, the developers, and the user community, see our home page, http://www.xemacs.org/ * XEmacs 21.5.13 is "beta" software. The usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/WARRANTY, sections 10 and 11) applies. Being "beta" software means that you should expect to encounter bugs, you should expect it to crash, and you really shouldn't be using it for "mission critical" tasks. * Availability Anonymous ftp: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.5/ See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/. (Note that the tarball breakdown is slightly different from that implied for 21.1. For 21.5, the xemacs-21.5.13.tar.gz tarball contains the full contents of the xemacs-21.5.13-{src,elc,info}.tar.gz tarballs.) If you already have a 21.5.12 source tree, a patch kit is available in xemacs-21.5.12-21.5.13.patch.gz. This does not update .elcs or .infos, they will be rebuilt when you make XEmacs. If you have an earlier version, you can repeatedly apply patch kits. Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html. Anonymous (pserver) CVS: Anonymous CVS is available. We are very grateful to the staff at our host, SunSITE.dk, for a lot of help and quick response to all our requests. To update to release 21.5.13, use the release tag "r21-5-x". To set a sticky tag which will always update to the current release, use the branch tag "r21-5-latest-beta". For more details, see http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/cvsaccess.html * Brief summary of Changes to XEmacs 21.5.13 "cauliflower" to 21.5.13 "cauliflower" Remember that bug that made return behave as linefeed in a TTY? It's gone! Thanks go out to Jerry James and Steve Turnbull for squashing this year old bug. Of course, that wasn't the only bug fixed this time around. Here are the highlights: Build -- Don't look for Motif if it's already been found - Buchholz. -- Darwin, Cygwin, BerkDB autoconf fixes - Turnbull. -- Make DEFUNed functions be tags - Buchholz. -- Allow compiling with Motif 1 and linking with Motif 2 - Buchholz. -- Update regexp tests - Turnbull. -- Don't autodetect ESD (Enlightened Sound Daemon) - Turnbull. Documentation -- New section in PROBLEMS auxilary programs for Windows - Turnbull. -- FAQ updates Q6.4.3 New aux programs for Windows - Turnbull. -- Document failed match preserves data - Turnbull. Internals -- Don't use the u_int8_t etc typedefs on FreeBSD in database.c - Pluim. -- Better support for externally defined lrecord types - Begel. -- Only call `xm_update_progress' if Motif is defined - Youngs. -- Define __STDC__ for BerkeleyDB - Buchholz. -- Fix bug where XEmacs couldn't find its .dmp file - Buchholz. -- Move `filemodestring' from lisp.h to sysfile.h - Golubev. -- Clean ups against the possibility of sys/stat.h defining stat - Turnbull. -- Search/match updates - Turnbull. Lisp API -- Fix bug preventing installing new packages - Youngs. -- Put exit message on separate line in `command-error' - Turnbull. -- Temporarily turn off PGP verification of package-index - Youngs. -- Remove keymapings for 'function-key-error' - James. -- Fix bug that mapped RET to LFD in TTYs - James. -------- ChangeLog Entries from ChangeLog -------- 2003-05-10 Steve Youngs <youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * XEmacs 21.5.13 "cauliflower" is released. 2003-05-10 Steve Youngs <youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt; * Revert this patch: 2003-05-01 Andrew Begel <abegel(a)CS.Berkeley.EDU&gt; * configure.in: Move module detection to after src/ is added to MAKE_SUBDIR.
