It would be nice if you would make it "official", i.e. add ChangeLog. Normally. you would send it to both xemacs-patches and the original maintainer. However a quick glance shows that the FSF version of uniquify.el already has the require. Maybe you should sync against the version in FSF 20.5 (and/or ask the maintainer whether he has an even newer version and whether he would be willing to send his changes to xemacs-patches in the future?).

Milestone 1 submission... 25 years

William M. Perry

Here is the official submission of milestone one. All documents will also be available at http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/gui-xemacs/ If anyone has feedback on style / structure / etc (especially my impressions of either toolkit) please let me or the list know. It looks like the front-runner right now is Gtk / Gnome. Next document will detail the implementation plans and what the language bindings will actually look like. I am wrestling with how the bindings should actually look right now. I personally prefer a very lispy interface using 'put' and 'get' generically, and something similar to libglade so that the GUI can be changed very easily. The first code milestone will be May 20th. I will be on vacation from my 'real' job from now until then. The main work will be in getting the XEmacs event loop and redisplay to cooperate with Gtk. The language binding should be fairly simple. -Bill P.

I guess so. I'm a customize dummy, and I put in customize support pretty much blind, so I'm grateful for the input. I'll put this in the EFS release and try to zip it up this weekend. -- Cheers =8-} Chipsy Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla

Oops. Let's enable it by default, then. Why is it disabled at all? It's a very useful feature IMHO.

something is wrong with latest beta 25 years

Jeff Miller

did a cvs a hour or so ago.... now when i start vm, my buffer is truncated. I won't guarantee it but i think it is truncatating at the first message to send it into the "buffer to large to font lock" situation. the last msg i see is dated march 10 or so.... when i know for a fact there are messages there which have arrived today. i tried compiling with out widgets bug still get the same error...... i think it's been roughtly a week or so since i updated at tried running with changes...... if that helps. i realize this is a crappy erro message but i have been up way too long.......... jeff
