Subject: XEmacs 21.4.9 "Informed Management" is released.
Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2002 02:20:26 +0900
Organization: The XEmacs Project

*          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.
