* XEmacs 21.4.10 "Military Intelligence" is released.
"Military Intelligence" is the eleventh in the OXYMORON series.
Relative to XEmacs 21.4.9 "Informed Management", "Military
Intelligence"
contains important optimizations for font-lock and syntax-driven
indentation. Many users, especially those working on large Java files,
should see a dramatic speed-up. cperl users and others using modes that
refer to the `syntax-table' text property may see bugs in indentation
and movement commands; set `lookup-syntax-properties' to `t' to fix.
Later releases of XEmacs 21.4 will make this automatic, but for now
it's more reliable to do it by hand as needed. Sorry!
The "Energizer bunny" bug should be fixed; XEmacs no longer continues
to run, eating 100% of CPU, when you log out from your desktop or ssh
session without logging out from XEmacs.
The Cygwin "stack too small" regex crash should be fixed.
Annoying to mildly dangerous bugs in modal dialogs, layout resizing,
revert-buffer, and match data functions have been fixed. For other
minor changes, see the summary or the 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 21.4.10 is "gamma" software.
The usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/WARRANTY, sections 10 and
11) applies. However, we are now experimenting with a level of
stability intermediate between "beta" and "stable", dubbed
"gamma".
At this point all the developers and our beta testers trust the 21.4
code base with all their editing needs. Many have found it
sufficiently stable that they've moved on to the development branch
again in search of some excitement.
After several months of testing, XEmacs 21.4.10 has been shown
sufficiently stable to be recommended to all users. However, there
still remain a few outstanding problems 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-21.4.10.tar.gz tarball contains the full contents of the
xemacs-21.4.10-{src,elc,info}.tar.gz tarballs.)
If you already have a 21.4.9 source tree, a patchkit is available in
xemacs-21.4.9-21.4.10.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 patchkits.
Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see
http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html.
Windows branch and installers:
The Windows branch is now normally synchronized with the 21.4
mainline. Some patches are committed to the Windows branch before
being available in the mainline, so you may wish to continue using
it. Of course the Windows installers continue to reflect this branch.
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 reponse to all our
requests.
If you haven't used XEmacs CVS recently, we moved the repository
before the 21.4.6 release. The repository structure is the same as
before, so it should be possible to reuse an existing checked-out CVS
tree.
Take care that your Root is set correctly to
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 21.4.10, use the release
tag "r21-4-10". To set a sticky tag which will always update to the
current release, use the branch tag "release-21-4".
For more details, see
http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/cvsaccess.html
Unique branch and release tags are assigned to the Windows branch.
See Andy Piper's announcements and release notes for details.

2002-11-02 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org>
* XEmacs 21.4.10 "Military Intelligence" is released.
2002-10-17 Raymond Toy <toy(a)rtp.ericsson.se>
* nas.c: Update for NAS 1.6 and later, from Jon Trulson. Was
using the NAS private array SoundFileInfo that no longer exists in
NAS 1.6 and later. Preserve backward compatibility with NAS 1.5a
and earlier. This is broken for some versions between 1.5a and
1.5f.
2002-10-10 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org>
* realpath.c (win32_readlink): Try to fix truename of wildcard bug.
* emacs.c (shut_down_emacs): Improve crash message.
2002-10-09 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org>
* file-coding.c (determine_real_coding_system): Check for coding
cookie in first LINES_TO_CHECK lines (currently 2). Cater to
shebangs and Python PEP 263.
2002-10-08 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org>
* glyphs-widget.c (layout_query_geometry): only resize dynamically
if static sizes haven't been set.
2002-08-30 Mike Alexander <mta(a)arbortext.com>
* event-msw.c (winsock_closer): Use closesocket, not CloseHandle
to close a socket.
2002-10-03 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org>
* callproc.c (child_setup): 21.4 doesn't have retry_close.
2002-09-20 Mike Sperber <mike(a)xemacs.org>
(This partially gets back my patch from 2002-07-20 without the
bug.)
* callproc.c (child_setup): Remove Ben's comment noting confusion
over the file descriptors >= 3: close_process_descs() doesn't
close those. Fix fd range to go up to MAXDESC-1 instead of 64.
* process-unix.c (unix_create_process): Call
begin_dont_check_for_quit to inhibit unwanted interaction (and
thus breaking of X event synchronicity) in the child.
2002-09-26 Golubev I. N. <gin(a)mo.msk.ru>
* frame-x.c (x_delete_frame): do not call XtDisplay on a destroyed
widget.
2002-08-20 Ben Sigelman <bhsigelm(a)cs.brown.edu>
* event-Xt.c (drain_X_queue): loop over while(XEventsQueued())
instead of while(XtAppPending()&XtIMXEvent). Upon a gdm logout,
the xemacs process did not exit, but looped infinitely here. This
fixes that problem.
2002-09-28 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org>
* font-lock.c (SYNTAX_START_STYLE, SYNTAX_END_STYLE): Quiet GCC.
(find_context): Improve comments.
* regex.c (re_compile_fastmap): Gratuitous #ifdef comment fixes.
(re_match_2): An XCHAR_TABLE operation was missing.
Many of the following changes were inspired by Andy Piper's (now
obsolete) patch to make syntax-table text property lookup optional.
[Documentation]
* syntax.h (top level): Document semantics of syntax flags.
* syntax.c (comstr_start, Fforward_comment): Improve comments.
* syntax.c, syntax.h (top level): Document syntax cache better in
comments.
[Instrument syntax caching (temporary change)]
* syntax.h (enum syntax_cache_statistics_functions, struct
syntax_cache_statistics, SCS_STATISTICS_SET_FUNCTION,
SYNTAX_CACHE_STATISTICS_COUNT_INIT): New types and macros.
* syntax.c (scan_words, Fforward_comment, scan_lists,
Fbackward_prefix_characters):
* font-lock.c (find_context):
Use them to instrument syntax caching.
* syntax.c (struct syntax_cache_statistics, scs_statistics,
syntax_cache_statistics_function_names): New type and variables.
* syntax.c (update_syntax_cache): Update and report statistics.
[Major syntax cache optimizations]
syntax.c (lookup_syntax_properties): Default off.
* syntax.h (UPDATE_SYNTAX_INTERNAL): New, implements UPDATE_SYNTAX*.
* syntax.c (update_syntax_cache):
Move init test from update_syntax_cache to UPDATE_SYNTAX_INTERNAL.
[Minor syntax cache optimizations and code clarifications]
* syntax.h (SYNTAX_COMMENT_BITS, SYNTAX_START_P, SYNTAX_END_P,
SYNTAX_STYLES_MATCH_START_P, SYNTAX_STYLES_MATCH_1CHAR_P,
SYNTAX_STYLES_MATCH_END_P, STYLE_FOUND_1CHAR_P, STYLE_FOUND_P,
SYNTAX_COMMENT_MASK_END, SYNTAX_COMMENT_MASK_START,
SYNTAX_COMMENT_1CHAR_MASK): Remove redundant argument `table'.
(Code clarification.)
* syntax.c (scan_words, find_end_of_comment, scan_sexps_forward,
scan_lists): Compute code from syncode, use Boolean macros instead
of redundant masking operations. (Code clarification; any decent
compiler can do this optimization.)
* syntax.c (scan_lists): Rearrange switches (case Sstring_fence)
for clarity.
* syntax.h, syntax.c (NEXT_SINGLE_PROPERTY_CHANGE,
PREVIOUS_SINGLE_PROPERTY_CHANGE, update_syntax_cache): Conditionally
use F*_single_property_change instead of F*_extent_change.
Currently F*_single_property_change is _much_ less efficient.
* dired.c (Fdirectory_files): Qt not valid in syntax_cache.object.
* syntax.h (SETUP_SYNTAX_CACHE_FOR_OBJECT): Initialize
syntax_cache.object properly, don't leave Qt or Qnil.
(SYNTAX_CACHE_BYTE_TO_CHAR): Use SETUP_SYNTAX_CACHE_FOR_OBJECT.
* syntax.c (update_syntax_cache): Use BUFFERP and STRINGP, not
tests for Qt or Qnil.
2002-09-21 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org>
* redisplay.c (point_in_line_start_cache):
* extents.c (print_extent_1):
Fix warnings.

(search_buffer):
(simple_search):
(boyer_moore):
Use it. Fixes "stale match data" bug reported by Martin Stjernholm.
Minor clarifications in comments.

(logical_unit_height): new function. Determine the height of a
logical-unit. Logical units are intended to provide grid-like
layout for subcontrols in a layout. If the layout is
:vertically-justify top then subcontrols will be positioned on
logical-unit boundaries, thus allowing adjacent subcontrols to
line up.

(layout_layout): ditto.
(Fwidget_logical_to_character_width): new function. Allow users to
convert from logical units to characters so that frame sizes can
be set appropriately.

(x_widget_border_width): new function.
(x_widget_instantiate): create a sensible name for widgets.
(console_type_create_glyphs_x): declare x_widget_border_width.

Ask not how you can "do" free software business;
ask what your business can "do for" free software.
2:53 p.m.
* XEmacs 21.4.10 "Military Intelligence" is released.
"Military Intelligence" is the eleventh in the OXYMORON series.
I forgot one important note. All recent XEmacsen, including 21.4.10
but going back at least to 21.4.8, seem to work and play poorly with
glibc 2.3.1. Users of Debian `sid' and other bleeding edge Linux
distros take note. This may be related to recent problems that Red
Hat 8 users have been reporting, too.
Configuring with --pdump seems to work fine, at least for me.

Can you say more about what "playing poorly" means? What symptoms
should we be looking for? What problems have been reported?
Thanks,

What has been observed on my Debian system is a SIGSEGV crash in the
build. The bleeding edge Red Hat people are seeing a crash in build
or a crash in X startup. Since I don't understand at all what's
causing the crash, I'm assuming the worst: memory corruption that
could strike anytime, anywhere. You're not necessarily safe if XEmacs
starts.
ISTR that a change in glibc initialization caused similar problems a
couple of years back by screwing up the structures we use to keep
track of unexec'd data. If this is something similar, then --pdump
might be the solution. --with-system-malloc also seems to help, but I
don't know why (especially since AFAIK we _do_ use the system malloc
on Linux).

i am migrating my current system to gentoo linux soon
i have a gentoo box here i can play with and it uses gcc3.2 and glibc 2.2.5
so i will do a build on that box and send you a build-report
the gentoo boys and girls have a cool idea with the XEmacs emerge they
install xemacs-base and efs along with XEmacs and mule-base if doing a
mule build. this is pretty smart :)
and they keep pretty much up to date with the gamma releases

That's what I do for years in my private Linux "distribution" (RPM
based, so I don't have to remember all the configure options ;)
I install the basic packages needed to bootstrap the package system
into xemacs-<version>/lisp. Then, when I update/install packages,
newer versions in xemacs/xemacs-packages shadow those in
xemacs-<version>/lisp. I never found any problems with that.

Greetings,
Several months ago someone sent me detailed information on building xemacs on
win32 systems. Unfortunately my mail client ate my email and I no longer have
that email. I don't recall who sent it, and I've looked on the xemacs web site
and only found cursory instructions. If possible, could you contact whoever
does the win32 binary builds and ask them to resend those instructions, or
point me to them on the web?
Sorry to have to bother you again. Who would have thought Outlook had bugs in
it! (Just kidding!)
Thanks,
Rick.
