XEmacs 21.5.21 "corn" is released

goto announcement, summary, changes

To: xemacs-beta@xemacs.org
From: "Stephen J. Turnbull, XEmacs 21.5 Beta Engineer" <stephen@xemacs.org>
Subject: XEmacs 21.5.21 "corn" is released.
Organization: The XEmacs Project



*          XEmacs 21.5.21 "corn" is released.
      "corn" is the twenty-second in the VEGETABLE series.


The successor to XEmacs 21.5.20 "cilantro", "corn" adds a new memory
allocation scheme contributed by Marcus Crestani, building on the new
"KKCC" garbage collection algorithms and the portable dumper's memory
description framework.  To ensure thorough testing we are enabling
both KKCC and Marcus's allocator by default, at least until the next
beta release.  Some important early bugs have been worked out, so we
expect that you will not face risk to your data or noticable
performance degradation.  However, if you do experience problems, you
can disable the new allocator by passing the `--disable-mc-alloc' flag
to `configure', and you can revert completely to the "traditional"
allocation/collection scheme by adding `--disable-kkcc' to that.

Another important user-visible change is that we have disabled the
"Emacs or XEmacs as X resource class" hack.  If you have been using
resources like "Emacs.default.attributeFont" to set X resources, you
must either change them to the "XEmacs.default.attributeFont" style,
or alternatively set the USE_EMACS_AS_DEFAULT_APPLICATION_CLASS to a
non-null value in the environment when you start XEmacs.  The usual
procedure is to edit ~/.Xresources, then "xrdb -merge < ~/.Xresources".

For developers, it is now possible to disable window manager
decorations entirely.  See the documentation for `default-x-frame-plist', 
and the recently updated "balloon-help" library in the edit-utils package.

Of course there is the usual gaggle of bug fixes and minor
enhancements.  The full list of CHANGES and ChangeLogs are presented below.

This is the development line.  The current series started with XEmacs 21.5.0
(an alias for XEmacs 21.4.0 "Solid Vapor", the first release in the current
stable line).  21.5 is the code base for introduction of major new subsystems
and fixes to design bugs that experience shows will introduce instability.
So far the main effort has been on improved support for Unicode, updates to
the build infrastructure, and development of new features in memory allocation.

For general information about XEmacs, the developers, and the user community,
see our home page,

		       http://www.xemacs.org/

* XEmacs 21.5.21 is "beta" software. 

The usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/WARRANTY, sections 10 and 11)
applies.  At this point in time, it is the version that most developers
are using for their daily work.  However, it is certain that many bugs
remain and new ones will be introduced as development proceeds.  Be sure
to take care to safe your work often and follow a regular backup regime.

* Availability

Anonymous ftp:

             ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.5

See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/ for more information about building
from source.

If you already have a 21.5.20 source tree, a patchkit is available in
xemacs-21.5.20-21.5.21.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.

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.

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.

To make it straightforward to access certain versions of the code, we have
a standard tagging policy.  To update to release 21.5.21, use the update
flag "-r r21-5-21".  To update to the current release without referring to
it specifically, use the flag "-r r21-5-latest-beta".  To update to the
latest commits in CVS, use the flag "-A".  Then rebuild XEmacs.

	2004-12-27  Richard M. Stallman  <rms@gnu.org>

	list.
