* XEmacs 21.4.9 "Informed Management" is released. "Informed Management" is the tenth in the OXYMORON series. Relative to XEmacs 21.4.8 "Honest Recruiter", "Informed Management" contains a number of crash fixes, including fixes for Motif crashing while updating non-labels, crashes when MS Windows returns bogus times, in handling of dead consoles, in subprocess handling, in skip-chars, and on finding non-existent a XML file. This last fix may prevent the infamous "gnus-byte-compile" crashes, as well. A recent update to Lesstif on Linux may have introduced a new crash. Only Lesstif version 0.93.36 on Debian "unstable" is known to be affected, and the bug appears to be in Lesstif. Other platforms and Motif implementations by other vendors are apparently safe. There are many important fixes to redisplay in Windows, including for the "freeze under virtual window manager" bug. There is an important fix to keyboard handling under X, which makes use of keysym-based input methods such as ru-keys.el much more comfortable. For many other minor fixes and improvements, see the Brief Summary of Changes, below. The first release in this series, XEmacs 21.4.0 "Solid Vapor", contained a large number of improvements and extensions to the current stable version, XEmacs 21.1.14. For more information about the OXYMORON series, see etc/NEWS, the initial release announcement http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/21.4.0.html and the release planning page, http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/Public-21.2/ For general information about XEmacs, the developers, and the user community, see our home page, http://www.xemacs.org/ * XEmacs 21.4.9 is "gamma" software. The usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/WARRANTY, sections 10 and 11) applies. However, we are now experimenting with a level of stability intermediate between "beta" and "stable", dubbed "gamma". At this point all the developers and our beta testers trust the 21.4 code base with all their editing needs. Many have found it sufficiently stable that they've moved on to the development branch again in search of some excitement. After several months of testing, XEmacs 21.4.9 has been shown sufficiently stable to be recommended to all users. However, there still remain a few outstanding problems that must be fixed before we retire 21.1. * 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-21.4.9.tar.gz tarball contains the full contents of the xemacs-21.4.9-{src,elc,info}.tar.gz tarballs.) If you already have a 21.4.8 source tree, a patchkit is available in xemacs-21.4.8-21.4.9.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. Windows branch and installers: The Windows branch continues to have a few changes not yet included in the mainline. It is preferred to the mainline for Windows users. 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 21.4.9, use the release tag "r21-4-9". 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 Unique branch and release tags are assigned to the Windows branch. See Andy Piper's announcements and release notes for details. * Brief summary of Changes to XEmacs 21.4.9 "Informed Management" -- (**) (MS Windows) new winclient -- Andy Piper, others -- (**) Mule auto-decompresses in find-library -- Steve Youngs -- (**) PUI displays author and package versions, balloon-help -- Steve Youngs -- (**) autoload and bind `replace-rectangle -- Didier Verna -- Crash fix: (HP/UX) in Motif on updating non-labels -- Darryl Okahata, Andy Piper -- Crash fix: (MS Windows) on bogus time -- Nick Pakoulin, Stephen Turnbull -- Crash fix: in handling of dead consoles -- Ben Wing -- Crash fix: in process handling (several) -- Mike Sperber -- Crash fix: in skip-chars -- Ben Wing, Stephen Turnbull -- Crash fix: on finding non-existent XML file -- Stephen Turnbull, Ben Wing, Michael Sperber -- Fix: URL handling (Cygwin) -- Andy Piper -- Fix: bogus arguments in custom-theme-set-variables -- Andy Piper -- Fix: bogus reinitialization breaking ru-keys.el -- Dmitry Astapov -- Fix: call-process-region deletes region after use -- Mike Alexander -- Fix: case (in)sensitivity in replace-in-string -- Didier Verna -- Fix: completion refers to correct history -- Christoph Wedler -- Fix: don't use RTLD_GLOBAL in DSOs -- Jerry James -- Fix: failures to redisplay (MS Windows) -- Mike Alexander, Andy Piper, Adrian Aichner -- Fix: file renaming (MS Windows) -- Mathias Grimmberger -- Fix: find architecture directory correctly -- Jerry James -- Fix: freeze on virtual desktop switch (MS Windows) -- Rick Rankin -- Fix: glyph handling, especially baselines -- Andy Piper, Nix -- Fix: handle popup dialogs correlcty (MS Windows) -- Andy Piper -- Fix: mousewheel handling (MS Windows) -- Andy Piper -- Fix: short file name handling (MS Windows) -- Andy Piper, Peter Arius -- Fix: shrink to fit windows work -- Jerry James -- Fix: toolbar doesn't update if gutters move bug -- Andy Piper -- Fix: uneven horizontal window splits -- Jerry James -- Improve: GNU synchs in Lisp API: join-line, :set-after, add-to-list, custom-local-buffer, font-lock-doc-face, font-lock-builtin-face, font-lock-constant-face, custom-set-default -- Ville Skyttä, John Paul Wallington, Andy Piper -- Improve: revert-buffer omits expensive operations if no change -- Andy Piper -- Improve: change registry key to XEmacs (MS Windows) -- Andy Piper -- Improve: 2d arg of split-string-by-char is required -- Brian A Palmer -- Improve: printer handling on MS (native and Cygwin) -- Andy Piper -- Fix: (Build) allow disabling Internet sockets in gnuserv -- Gregory Steuck -- Fix: (Build) unsigned-signed compare warnings -- Stephen Turnbull -- Fix: (Build/Cygwin) X + Windows build gets widgets -- Andy Piper -- Fix: (Build/Unix) configure --usage -- Jerry James -- Fix: (Build/Unix) protect linker args for PPC -- Malcolm Purvis -- Improve: (Build) make-autoload supports define-derived-mode -- Stephen Turnbull and Didier Verna -- Improve: (Build/MS Windows) Maintainer build process -- Andy Piper -- Improve: (Build/MS Windows) default to pdump -- Jonathan Harris -- Improve: (Build/MS Windows) update documentation -- Jonathan Harris -- Improve: (Build/Unix) 64-bit ELF support -- Gregory Steuck -- Improve: (Build/Unix) OpenBSD support -- Gregory Steuck -- Docs: "vanity" updates -- Andy Piper -- Docs: Info minor updates -- Simon Josefsson, Ville Skyttä, Adrian Aichner, Steve Youngs, Jerry James -- Docs: Info new nodes: Regression Testing XEmacs -- Stephen Turnbull -- Docs: Info typo fixes -- Adrian Aichner (many!) -- Docs: docstring typo fixes -- John Paul Wallington, Stephen Turnbull, Ville Skyttä, Andy Piper, Jerry James, Adrian Aichner -- Docs: new FAQs: Killing is slow, Q2.0.15 -- Stephen Turnbull, Adrian Aichner -- Docs: new PROBLEMS -- Stephen Turnbull -------- ChangeLog Entries from ChangeLog -------- 2002-08-23 Stephen J.
