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. Marc
