XEmacs 21.4.4 "Artificial Intelligence" is Released

Message-ID: <15202.45459.71249.377196@turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp>
Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2001 21:35:31 +0900
From: XEmacs 21.4 Release Manager <stephen@xemacs.org>
To: XEmacs Announcements <xemacs-announce@xemacs.org>
Subject: XEmacs 21.4.4 "Artificial Intelligence" is released.

*    XEmacs 21.4.4 "Artificial Intelligence" is released.

"Artificial Intelligence" is the fifth in the OXYMORON series.

Relative to XEmacs 21.4.3 "Academic Rigor", it contains a few typo
fixes in the documentation, some minor bugfixes in the user interface,
and some fixes to critical bugs, mostly in the MS Windows code.

*** MS Windows users should NOT upgrade to 21.4.4 unless you ***
*** are prepared to help debug certain known problems.  Wait ***
*** for 21.4.5.                                              ***

Unfortunately, there seems to be a bad bug somewhere in the new code
for MS Windows, which causes frequent crashes.  The primary Windows
developer is currently out of the country, and I am about to leave for
two weeks of vacation.  So I decided to release "Artificial
Intelligence" on the strength of the improvements on other platforms,
and be prepared to make a new release to address the MS Windows issues
and a few other pending patches immediately on my return.

More detailed information about the changes is presented 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 21.4.4 is "gamma" software. 

Besides the usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/WARRANTY, sections
10 and 11), we are now experimenting with a level of stability
intermediate between "beta" and "stable", dubbed "gamma".  At this
point all the developers and most of our beta testers trust the 21.4
code base with all their editing needs.  However, for several reasons,
for users who absolutely must minimize risk, we continue to recommend
the 21.1 series.

It seems likely that 21.4.5 will be released in about 3 weeks when I
return from abroad, to address the MS Windows problems.  It is hoped
that the following release will be designated "stable."

* Changes included in XEmacs 21.4.4 "Artificial Intelligence"

This file briefly describes all changes to XEmacs in the OXYMORON
series of releases.  In principle there should be no user interface
changes listed here, since this is intended to be a stable series.  In
practice, some bugfixes do involve user-visible changes.  In general
users should be happy about them, but they may affect workarounds you
have put in place.  So those that do are noted here with (**).

Also, the MS Windows platform support is not fully mature, and the GTK
platform support is explicitly experimental.  In those cases
improvements that provably do not affect other platforms are accepted.
The platform affected is noted, and the change is flagged (**).

Fixing a critical bug is not considered a "user interface change" in the
sense that there should be no way for it to interfere with you getting
more work done.

The changesare grouped into run-time, build-time, and "documentation
and data" changes.

For more details, including developers involved and dates, see the
ChangeLogs below.

  - (**) There is a bug in "window procedures" under MS Windows only.
    Non-debug builds print a warning on stderr, and you may want to
    consider XEmacs unstable (save and restart) if you see it (debug
    builds assert here).
  - Printing the selection is implemented for MS Windows
  - C-g now works on MS Windows
  - Kinsoku (text wrapping for Asian scripts) fixes
  - "Scrolling with no scrollbar" crash on MS Windows fixed
    Krause).
  - Case conversion works for Cyrillic
  - Help is available with C-x s
  - M-x locate-library completes library names
  - (**) `replace-match' supports FSF-style match subexpressions
  - `compose-mail' is supported in about.el
  - (**) Renaming custom.el to inhibit loading it works
  - (**) "Reset to standard" works with "set" and "saved" Custom
    buffers
  - `Unbalanced parentheses' bug when dealing with mixed comment
    styles in c++/java/etc. mode fixed
  - Byte-compiler optimization fixes
  - Dired can handle directory names with unusual characters
  - Popup menus work with popup-menu-titles turned off
  - (**) M-? now invokes Help
  - Data corruption in network streams on MS Windows fixed
  - A few improvements and bug fixes in GTK support.

  - (**) EsounD support is no longer autodetected; you must explicitly
    request it.  EsounD does evil things with signals and XEmacs
    cannot protect itself from the race conditions created.
  - (**) The "excessively long startup when not networked" (often on
    Red Hat Linux) problem is addressed with a configure option that
    defeats IPv6 host name canonicalization, `--with-ipv6-cname=no'.
    See also the discussion in PROBLEMS.
  - Better detection of Cygwin Perl
  - Support for old Cygwin betas dropped
  - Better support for Windows Millenium Edition
  - --with-widgets=no no longer autodetects Athena
  - Self tests work if directory is a symlink
  - Use ld reported by gcc, not gcc itself, to link
  - TAR define added to src/Makefile

  - Many small and medium documentation fixes, including an improved
    etc/sample.init.el, German tutorial, CCL fonts documentation
  - etc/xemacs-ja.1 replaced with new translation
  - much improved FAQ

* ChangeLogs

The changes in this release are grouped in the following sections.
Some patches overlap a couple of sections, I (somewhat arbitrarily)
assigned them to the section I thought was most important.

The message ID and the URL with each log refer to the post in which
teh patch was proposed on xemacs-patches.

	* event-msw.c (assert):
	* event-msw.c (emacs_mswindows_quit_p):
	* event-msw.c (debug_mswin_messages):
	* event-msw.c (debug_output_mswin_message):

2001-05-25  Craig Lanning  <CraigL@Knology.net>

	* s\mingw32.h:
	Properly find MinGW's <process.h> inside Cygwin's restructured
	include directories.  Don't try to include <cygwin/version.h>
	since we are dropping support for MinGW in versions of Cygwin
	earlier than b21.
	* nt.c:
	Drop support for MinGW in versions of Cygwin before b21.
	* sysdep.c:
	Properly find MinGW's <process.h> inside Cygwin's restructured
	include directories.
	* syswindows.h:
	Drop support for MinGW in versions of Cygwin before b21.
	* unexcw.c:
	Even though a.out.h is no longer detected by configure, allow
	MinGW to use it until we figure out how to do the job with Win32.

2001-05-28  Paul Krause  <pkrause@soundbite.com>

	* xemacs.mak (DEPEND): defined(_) isn't a reliable method for
	detecting if perl is from cygwin. Check $OSNAME as a backup.

	DISCARD: Supersedes <005f01c10fbc$6c61edb0$090a050a@soundbite.com>

	* win32.h:

	* device-msw.c (msprinter_init_device):
	signal an error rather than crash with an unavailable network
	printer (from Mike Alexander).
	
	* event-msw.c:
	* event-msw.c (struct winsock_stream):
	* event-msw.c (winsock_writer):
	* event-msw.c (winsock_closer):
	* event-msw.c (make_winsock_stream_1):
	cleanup headers.  fix (hopefully) an error with data corruption
	when sending to a network connection.

	* fileio.c (Fexpand_file_name): Fix evil code that attempts
	to handle the ~user prefix by (a) always assuming we're referencing
	ourselves and not even verifying the user -- hence any file with
	a tilde as its first char is invalid! (b) if there wasn't a slash
	following the filename, the pointer was set *past* the end of
	file and we started reading from uninitialized memory.  Now we
	simply treat these as files, always.

	* buffer.c (common_init_complex_vars_of_buffer): comment change.

2001-05-23  Ben Wing  <ben@xemacs.org>

	* event-msw.c (winsock_writer):
	* event-msw.c (winsock_closer):
	prior kludgy code was clobbering the buffer, thinking it was
	"unused" space to store an unneeded return value; instead, use
	the variable we've already got staring us in the face.
