* XEmacs 21.4.15 "Security Through Obscurity" is released.
"Security Through Obscurity" is the fifteenth in the OXYMORON series.
The latest stable release of XEmacs, XEmacs 21.4.15 - "Security
Through Obscurity", is now available from xemacs.org and its mirrors.
* 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-21.4.15.tar.gz tarball contains the full contents of the
xemacs-21.4.15-{src,elc,info}.tar.gz tarballs.)
If you already have a 21.4.14 source tree, a patchkit is available in
xemacs-21.4.14-21.4.15.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.
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 21.4.15, use the release
tag "r21-4-15". 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

Summary:
Major code clean up of all things PUI.
Much improved code to determine where packages should be
installed. PUI no longer depends on any packages being
pre-installed to compute where packages are to be installed to.
The user can specify the location of their package-index file. It
isn't necessary to set this because it has sane defaults. People
who "run-in-place" won't accidently overwrite the CVS
package-index file. See
`package-get-package-index-file-location'.
PUI will now properly clean up after itself in the event of an
unsuccessful package install. This drastically reduces the number
of "wrong md5sum" FAQs.
non-Mule XEmacsen can no longer install Mule packages.
Package management via the custom interface has been removed.
The PUI related menubar items have been reorganised.
The PGP verification code has been fixed and the default for
whether or not it is used is automatically computed.
* update-elc.el ((preloaded-file-list site-load-packages
need-to-dump dumped-exe)):
Just a couple of small changes to allow for
`packages-(hardcoded|useful|unbytecompiled)-lisp' not really
existing anymore.
2003-12-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)xemacs.org>
* bytecomp.el (byte-compile-warn-about-unused-variables): Don't
apply `format' to the first argument of byte-compile-warn, it
already calls format.
2003-12-03 Adrian Aichner <adrian(a)xemacs.org>
* files.el (delete-old-versions): Avoid going interactive during
make install when environment variable VERSION_CONTROL is set.
2003-12-04 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org>
* menubar-items.el (menu-item-search): Only bring up search dialog
box if the feature is available and desired.
2003-11-04 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org>
* about.el (about-personal-info): Fix typo in Tony Rossini's entry.
2003-11-05 Vin Shelton <acs(a)xemacs.org>
* help.el (Help-prin1-face):
(Help-princ-face):
princ and prin1 are functions and need to be called as such. The
idea for this patch was submitted by Eric Eide <eeide(a)cs.utah.edu>.
2003-10-22 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org>
* about.el (about-xemacs): Give full version and build date.
2003-09-19 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org>
* win32-native.el (grep-null-device): This XEmacs has null-device.
2003-09-06 Mike Sperber <mike(a)xemacs.org>
* bytecomp.el (byte-compile-defvar-or-defconst): Actually
implement the specified semantics for `defvar.'
2003-09-07 Adrian Aichner <adrian(a)xemacs.org>
* window-xemacs.el (display-buffer): Fix for `shrink-to-fit' by
Klaus Berndl, calling `shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer' when
displaying buffer in question.
