Aye, you are right and I'm wrong. Is that library supposed to be picked up by default, or do I have a fouled up configuration?

Does anyone have other similar experiences with RH 5.1? Should we add this to the PROBLEMS file? I haven't built XEmacs on RH 5.1 yet, but I've built and run InfoDock and it is O.K. (with gcc). Um, why didn't Red Hat include libc5 libraries for legacy binaries? That seems _really_ silly to me.

`format' & strings w/ duplicatable extents 26 years, 2 months

Christoph Wedler

Shouldn't it be mentioned in the info and various docstrings that `format' (and all function which uses format), `set-keymap-prompt' and probably other functions don't even use duplicatable extents of strings? At least the docstring of `set-extent-property' should mention this (I could do it). E.g., with the following code, the keymap prompt is not in red, neither are the last two occurances of "string" in the minibuffer area: (let* ((string "string") (extent (make-extent 0 (length string) string))) (set-extent-property extent 'duplicable t) (set-extent-face extent 'red) (set-keymap-prompt ctl-x-map string) (display-message 'message (concat string (format string) (format "%s" string)))) - Christoph

XEmacs 21.2-beta1 is released 26 years, 2 months

SL Baur

[This is going out in advance of the network update, so please allow at least 30 minutes from the time in the `Date:' field in this message for the appropriate areas to get updated. The CVS tree will be updated *last* because it will be updated when I upload the latest 21.0-pre]. I am putting out the first beta of XEmacs 21.2. Yes, Virginia, there's going to be another release of XEmacs. Get it from: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.2/ The CVS tree will be updated later than the FTP site. The major "feature" in 21.2 is removal of long-dead symbols. This causes all kinds of things to break, unless you have updated your packages from today's update. 21.2-beta is going to track 21.0 and 21.1 Lisp package-wise. I've also opened a 22.0 source tree, but I haven't determined what's going to go into it. The proposed Lisp engine changes probably need more time than what I wish to allow for 22.0 (about a year to 18 months). At any rate, the 22.0 tree is wide open for patches, the 21.2 tree is being led by Ben Wing, and his judgement on patches for it is (mostly) final. If you've ever considered a career in XEmacs maintenance, but haven't decided whether it was for you, you might consider apprenticeship. I'm looking for someone to closely maintain the 21.2 beta tree while I'm bug-fixing 21.0 and 21.1, and I'll take things back over once 21.1 is released to the 'net. Please email me if you have any interest in this. This isn't any different than what Vinnie Shelton did with the 19.16 release (and he did a *wonderful* job). to 21.2 beta1 "Aeolus" -- Synch with 21.0-pre6 -- Removal of ancient obsolete symbols courtesy of Altrasoft -- Fix version numbers Fork at 21.0 pre5 "Zhong Wei"
