Turnbull, XEmacs 21.5 Beta Engineer" &amp;lt;stephen(a)xemacs.org&amp;gt; +Subject: XEmacs 21.5.26 "endive" is released. +Organization: The XEmacs Project + + + +* XEmacs 21.5.26 "endive" is released. + "endive" is the twenty-seventh in the VEGETABLE series. + + +The successor to XEmacs 21.5.25 "eggplant", "endive" adds support +for the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture by Jerry James, and a large +number of fixes and improvements to the new garbage collector by +Marcus Crestani. The most important of these was to make finalization +of Lisp objects asynchronous, which doesn't have direct relevance to +users, but will make writing correct code for Lisp primitives easier. +Vin Shelton contributed several improvements to the path-finding code +(primarily MS Windows-oriented), aided and abetted by Mike Sperber and +several testers. Of course, there was the usual array of small +improvements and bug fixes. + +*Important Notice* + +There were a number of important bugs (including crashes) in the new +gc code fixed, and unfortunately some of them affected the supposedly +stable --enable-newgc=no code, it seems. Also, Malcolm Purvis +committed a workaround for an assert in the regex code that was being +provoked by Gnus and by the error parser for M-x compile. It is +*highly recommended* that you upgrade if you are currently using the +previous beta, 21.5.25. + +However, there are a number of undiagnosed crashes lurking, especially +on the x86_64 platform. It's possible they've been fixed en passant, +but since they're undiagnosed, please be prudent, save often, and back +up your essential data. + + + +This is the development line. The current series started with XEmacs 21.5.0 +(an alias for XEmacs 21.4.0 "Solid Vapor", the first release in the current +stable line). 21.5 is the code base for introduction of major new subsystems +and fixes to design bugs that experience shows will introduce instability. +So far the main effort has been on improved support for Unicode, updates to +the build infrastructure, and development of new features in memory allocation. + +For general information about XEmacs, the developers, and the user community, +see our home page, + + http://www.xemacs.org/ + +* XEmacs 21.5.26 is "beta" software. + +The usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/WARRANTY, sections 10 and 11) +applies. At this point in time, it is the version that most developers +are using for their daily work. However, it is certain that many bugs +remain and new ones will be introduced as development proceeds. Be sure +to take care to save your work often and follow a regular backup regime. + +Note that part of the release process involves a full build and test cycle, +with no regressions. However, one build on the release engineer's host is +all the quality assurance that is done for most beta releases. Be sure to +checkpoint a known good version of XEmacs (eg, a CVS tag or tarball) before +overwriting your XEmacs source tree. + +* Availability + +Anonymous ftp: + + ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.5 + +See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/ for more information about building +from source. + +If you already have a 21.5.25 source tree, a patchkit is available in +xemacs-21.5.25-21.5.26.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. + +We thank our hosts at Tux.org, and numerous mirrors around the world, +for providing space and bandwidth for distributing XEmacs. + +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, dotsrc.org (formerly SunSITE.dk), for a lot of help and quick +response to all our requests. + +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 &gt; $r; done + +will convert your entire tree. + +To make it straightforward to access certain versions of the code, we have +a standard tagging policy. To update to release 21.5.26, use the update +flag "-r r21-5-26". To update to the current release without referring to +it specifically, use the flag "-r r21-5-current-beta". To update to the +latest commits in CVS, use the flag "-A". Then rebuild XEmacs. + +For more details, see + + http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/cvsaccess.html + +or the ViewCVS interface at + http://cvs/xemacs.org . + + +</pre> + + <h1><a name="summary">Changes</a> in XEmacs 21.5.26 "endive"</h1> + <p>goto <a href="#announcement">announcement</a>, summary, + <a href="#changes">changes</a></p> + + <h2>Major Features and Backward Incompatible Changes</h2> + + <ul> + <li> + Improve: search for package roots on Windows.
