* XEmacs 21.4.18 "Social Property" is released.
"Social Property" is the eighteenth in the OXYMORON series.
The latest stable release of XEmacs, XEmacs 21.4.18 - "Social Property",
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/. As of 21.4.18, only a source
tarball has been supplied. There was virtually no use of the info and
elc tarballs, so xemacs-21.4.18.tar.gz or alternatively
xemacs-21.4.19.tar.bz2 are the only tarballs supplied.
If you already have a 21.4.17 source tree, a patchkit is available in
xemacs-21.4.17-21.4.18.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.
The tarballs and patches are signed with my GPG key, available from
most public keyservers and also from
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/pgp-keys/vin_shelton.asc
Here are the MD5 check sums of each of the files related to the XEmacs
21.4.18 release:

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 21.4.18, use the release
tag "r21-4-18". 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

* src/process-unix.c (unix_open_network_stream): moved
'portbuf' buffer out of an inner block as it is used in the
entire function. With gcc4, the stack may get corrupted
after leaving this block. This patches adjusts the size of
the used buffer also; static '128' bytes are far too much
currently and might not suffice for future architectures
(e.g. for 512 bit ones ;)). Instead of, use only the really
required space (max octets * ln(256)/ln(10) chars + space
for '\0' and the sign)
2005-04-08 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net>
