------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Epoch 4.1 is now available for anonymous ftp from cs.uiuc.edu in /pub/epoch-files/epoch. Epoch 4.1 is a revised version of Epoch 4.0 patchlevel 2. It is available as either a self-contained tar file (epoch-4.1.tar.Z) or a set of patches for Epoch 4.0p2 (epoch-diff-4.0p2-4.1.tar.Z). Thanks to all the people who have provided bug reports, feature requests, and (best of all) fixes and enhancements; your help is very much appreciated. Keep 'em coming... Problem reports for Epoch 4.1 should be sent to epoch@cs.uiuc.edu. [Epoch is GNU Emacs on steroids: an adaptation of GNU Emacs 18.58 with lots of additional support for features made possible by the X11 windowing system. These features include multiple editing windows, arbitrary colors and fonts (fixed-width and proportional), selectable zones per buffer with arbitrary display styles (font, color, underline, stipple, pixmap), an optional separate minibuffer window, improved keyboard and mouse handling, full 8-bit character set support, and more.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CHANGES IN EPOCH 4.1 (from Epoch 4.0p2): o Solaris 2.0 (SunOS 5.0) support. o DEC OSF/1 support. o New Apollo (DomainOS) support, including dumping. o Fixes for AIX support. o Fix for POSIX signals. o Fix for infinite loop in epoch::coords-to-point. o Fix for coredump in Fsignal. o Fix for coredump when changing nonlocal minibuffer's font to a font larger than the default. o Fix for coredump in PlotTextLine. o Fix for coredump in reset_sys_modes. o Fix for display-event-status. o Fix for spurious abort in quit_throw_to_read_command_char. o Fix to keep event handler from dying. o Fixes to handle horizontally-split windows. o Fix to window-edges to return correct values. o Fix for typo in ascii/ymakefile. o Replacement for corrupted unextitan.c. o Fix to eliminate double-kills with mouse selections. o 8-bit (Keriven) support merged in. See src/config.h-dist for details on new EIGHTBIT_KEYBOARD option. Also see epoch-lisp/iso-latin-1.el for an example electric mode using 8-bit characters. o New window-select-hook. o New keymap scheme - same default bindings, but epoch-cmds-prefix used; see epoch-lisp/epoch.el for details. o Don't coredump on divide or mod by 0. o Default auto-raise-screen setting is now 'minibuf. o Killed suspend-emacs once and for all (see epoch/epoch.el). o Cleanup of documentation and doc support. o Miscellaneous minor fixes and cleanups. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Marc -- Marc Andreessen Software Development Group National Center for Supercomputing Applications marca@ncsa.uiuc.edu
