The second update to the official release of Epoch 4.0 is available
via anonymous FTP from cs.uiuc.edu, in the directory
/pub/epoch-files/epoch.  The file "epoch4.0p2.tar.Z" contains a
complete distribution; "epoch-4.0-update8.tar.Z" contains the update
in patch form.

This update release fixes bugs in the 4.0p1 release.  With this
update, the variable epoch::version evaluates to "Epoch 4.0 Patchlevel
2".  The bugs fixed in this update follow (names indicate people who
reported the problem and/or suggested fixes):

o Fixes for running on SGI Irix - John Ruttenberg.

o Patch for running on Titan machines - Mike McNamara.

o Core dump on scroll-left - Gerd Hoeren.

o Core dump reported & fixed by Terry Bennett.

o Core dumps when changing fonts - Heinz Schmidt.

o Screen placement under TWM when "-0" specified in geometry string -
  Mark Baushke.

o epoch::icon-pixmap function added to allow user to specify a bitmap
  image to be used for Epoch screen icons.

o after-movement-function will be called with one argument - the
  previous value of point.

o Display problems with 8-bit characters - Renaud Marlet.

o Error message on first focus-in with local minibuffers and cursor in
  minibuffer window - Renaud Marlet.

o Cursor positioning on wrapped lines with proportional fonts and
  control characters - Renaud Marlet.

o Fixes for AIX/370 support - Barbe Albert.

o ``Args out of range'' errors - Simon Marshall.

o Core dump when compiling with GCC 2.1 - fix by Kristoffer Rose.

o New variable epoch::cursor-warps-to-screen can be set to nil
  to keep mouse cursor from warping to new screen in 
  cursor-to-screen (default is t).

o Cut buffer is no longer cleared when point is moved to new location
  with mouse.  New variable epoch::set-point-clears-cut-buffer
  can be set to t to retain old behavior; default is nil.

o motion::style overrides all other styles for region selected
  with mouse.  New variable epoch::motion-style-overrides can
  be set to nil to retain old behavior; default it t.  (Code
  provided by Renaud Marlet.)

o EPOCH-FAQ updated.

o Other minor fixes.

Thanks much to everyone who reported and/or fixed bugs.
