XEmacs XEmacs 21.4.10 "Military Intelligence" is releasedgoto announcement, summary, changes To: xemacs-announce@xemacs.org From: "Stephen J. Turnbull, XEmacs 21.4 Release Manager" <stephen@xemacs.org> Subject: XEmacs 21.4.10 "Military Intelligence" is released. Organization: The XEmacs Project * XEmacs 21.4.10 "Military Intelligence" is released. "Military Intelligence" is the eleventh in the OXYMORON series. Relative to XEmacs 21.4.9 "Informed Management", "Military Intelligence" contains important optimizations for font-lock and syntax-driven indentation. Many users, especially those working on large Java files, should see a dramatic speed-up. cperl users and others using modes that refer to the `syntax-table' text property may see bugs in indentation and movement commands; set `lookup-syntax-properties' to `t' to fix. Later releases of XEmacs 21.4 will make this automatic, but for now it's more reliable to do it by hand as needed. Sorry! The "Energizer bunny" bug should be fixed; XEmacs no longer continues to run, eating 100% of CPU, when you log out from your desktop or ssh session without logging out from XEmacs. The Cygwin "stack too small" regex crash should be fixed. Annoying to mildly dangerous bugs in modal dialogs, layout resizing, revert-buffer, and match data functions have been fixed. For other minor changes, see the summary or the ChangeLogs 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 21.4.10 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 21.4.10 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-21.4.10.tar.gz tarball contains the full contents of the xemacs-21.4.10-{src,elc,info}.tar.gz tarballs.) If you already have a 21.4.9 source tree, a patchkit is available in xemacs-21.4.9-21.4.10.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 is now normally synchronized with the 21.4 mainline. Some patches are committed to the Windows branch before being available in the mainline, so you may wish to continue using it. Of course the Windows installers continue to reflect this branch. 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 21.4.10, use the release tag "r21-4-10". 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.

Was using the NAS private array SoundFileInfo that no longer exists in NAS 1.6 and later. Preserve backward compatibility with NAS 1.5a and earlier. This is broken for some versions between 1.5a and 1.5f. 2002-10-10 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> * realpath.c (win32_readlink): Try to fix truename of wildcard bug. * emacs.c (shut_down_emacs): Improve crash message. 2002-10-09 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> * file-coding.c (determine_real_coding_system): Check for coding cookie in first LINES_TO_CHECK lines (currently 2). Cater to shebangs and Python PEP 263. 2002-10-08 Andy Piper <andy@xemacs.org> * glyphs-widget.c (layout_query_geometry): only resize dynamically if static sizes haven't been set. 2002-08-30 Mike Alexander <mta@arbortext.com> * event-msw.c (winsock_closer): Use closesocket, not CloseHandle to close a socket. 2002-10-03 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> * callproc.c (child_setup): 21.4 doesn't have retry_close. 2002-09-20 Mike Sperber <mike@xemacs.org> (This partially gets back my patch from 2002-07-20 without the bug.) * callproc.c (child_setup): Remove Ben's comment noting confusion over the file descriptors >= 3: close_process_descs() doesn't close those. Fix fd range to go up to MAXDESC-1 instead of 64. * process-unix.c (unix_create_process): Call begin_dont_check_for_quit to inhibit unwanted interaction (and thus breaking of X event synchronicity) in the child. 2002-09-26 Golubev I. N. <gin@mo.msk.ru> * frame-x.c (x_delete_frame): do not call XtDisplay on a destroyed widget. 2002-08-20 Ben Sigelman <bhsigelm@cs.brown.edu> * event-Xt.c (drain_X_queue): loop over while(XEventsQueued()) instead of while(XtAppPending()&XtIMXEvent). Upon a gdm logout, the xemacs process did not exit, but looped infinitely here. This fixes that problem. 2002-09-28 Stephen J.

(re_match_2): An XCHAR_TABLE operation was missing. Many of the following changes were inspired by Andy Piper's (now obsolete) patch to make syntax-table text property lookup optional. [Documentation] * syntax.h (top level): Document semantics of syntax flags. * syntax.c (comstr_start, Fforward_comment): Improve comments. * syntax.c, syntax.h (top level): Document syntax cache better in comments. [Instrument syntax caching (temporary change)] * syntax.h (enum syntax_cache_statistics_functions, struct syntax_cache_statistics, SCS_STATISTICS_SET_FUNCTION, SYNTAX_CACHE_STATISTICS_COUNT_INIT): New types and macros. * syntax.c (scan_words, Fforward_comment, scan_lists, Fbackward_prefix_characters): * font-lock.c (find_context): Use them to instrument syntax caching. * syntax.c (struct syntax_cache_statistics, scs_statistics, syntax_cache_statistics_function_names): New type and variables. * syntax.c (update_syntax_cache): Update and report statistics. [Major syntax cache optimizations] syntax.c (lookup_syntax_properties): Default off. * syntax.h (UPDATE_SYNTAX_INTERNAL): New, implements UPDATE_SYNTAX*. * syntax.c (update_syntax_cache): Move init test from update_syntax_cache to UPDATE_SYNTAX_INTERNAL. [Minor syntax cache optimizations and code clarifications] * syntax.h (SYNTAX_COMMENT_BITS, SYNTAX_START_P, SYNTAX_END_P, SYNTAX_STYLES_MATCH_START_P, SYNTAX_STYLES_MATCH_1CHAR_P, SYNTAX_STYLES_MATCH_END_P, STYLE_FOUND_1CHAR_P, STYLE_FOUND_P, SYNTAX_COMMENT_MASK_END, SYNTAX_COMMENT_MASK_START, SYNTAX_COMMENT_1CHAR_MASK): Remove redundant argument `table'. (Code clarification.) * syntax.c (scan_words, find_end_of_comment, scan_sexps_forward, scan_lists): Compute code from syncode, use Boolean macros instead of redundant masking operations. (Code clarification; any decent compiler can do this optimization.) * syntax.c (scan_lists): Rearrange switches (case Sstring_fence) for clarity. * syntax.h, syntax.c (NEXT_SINGLE_PROPERTY_CHANGE, PREVIOUS_SINGLE_PROPERTY_CHANGE, update_syntax_cache): Conditionally use F*_single_property_change instead of F*_extent_change. Currently F*_single_property_change is _much_ less efficient. * dired.c (Fdirectory_files): Qt not valid in syntax_cache.object. * syntax.h (SETUP_SYNTAX_CACHE_FOR_OBJECT): Initialize syntax_cache.object properly, don't leave Qt or Qnil. (SYNTAX_CACHE_BYTE_TO_CHAR): Use SETUP_SYNTAX_CACHE_FOR_OBJECT. * syntax.c (update_syntax_cache): Use BUFFERP and STRINGP, not tests for Qt or Qnil. 2002-09-21 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> * redisplay.c (point_in_line_start_cache): * extents.c (print_extent_1): Fix warnings. * extents.c (Fset_extent_property): Document `syntax-table' property. * extents.h (Fnext_single_property_change): EXFUN it. 2002-09-09 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> * search.c (clear_unused_search_regs): New static function. (search_buffer): (simple_search): (boyer_moore): Use it.

Turnbull <stephen@xemacs.org> * event-Xt.c (enqueue_focus_event): Add missing prototype. 2002-08-29 Jerry James <james@xemacs.org> * lisp.h: structrures -> structures. 2002-06-03 Andy Piper <andy@xemacs.org> * frame.c (frame_conversion_internal): add conversion appropriate for setting frame dimensions in pixels. * console.h (struct console_methods): add device-specific widget layout functions. * emacs.c (main_1): initialize glyph vars. * event-Xt.c (handle_focus_event_1): call handle_focus_event_2 (handle_focus_event_2): new function. Allow focus to be set to a particular window and widget. (enqueue_focus_event): new function. Create a synthetic focus event. (emacs_Xt_handle_magic_event): call handle_focus_event_2. * frame.c (Fset_frame_pixel_height): new function. Allow pixel-based sizing. Does the right thing on character-oriented displays.

(widget_instance_border_width): ditto. (logical_unit_height): new function. Determine the height of a logical-unit. Logical units are intended to provide grid-like layout for subcontrols in a layout. If the layout is :vertically-justify top then subcontrols will be positioned on logical-unit boundaries, thus allowing adjacent subcontrols to line up. (widget_logical_unit_height): ditto for widgets. (redisplay_widget): misc cleanup. (widget_spacing): new function. Call device specific methods. Intended to be the default gap between adjacent widgets. (widget_query_geometry): use new spacing functions to determine appropriate geometry. (initialize_widget_image_instance): initialize horizontal and vertical justification. (widget_instantiate): use logica-units where appropriate for sizing large widgets. (button_query_geometry): use widget_instance_border_width. (tree_view_query_geometry): ditto. (tab_control_query_geometry): ditto. (edit_field_query_geometry): new function. (layout_update): pick up :justify, :horizontally-justify and :vertically-justify none of which worked previously. :justify is used as a fallback for both horizontal and vertical justification.

Allow users to convert from logical units to characters so that frame sizes can be set appropriately. (Fwidget_logical_to_character_height): ditto. (syms_of_glyphs_widget): declare. (image_instantiator_edit_fields): add edit_field_query_geometry. (VALID_LAYOUT_KEYWORDS): declare :vertically-justify and :horizontally-justify. (specifier_vars_of_glyphs_widget): new function.
