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.

Marc

[Note: I have not yet built epoch-4.0p2 I am still looking at the
differences. These are just my first impressions.]

I suspect that the file epoch-4.0p2/src/foo should not be included in
future releases of epoch.

I concur with Gordon Joly. epoch-4.x for increasing values of x would
probably make more sense than continue with patchlevel updates. This
means that you will be able to tell from the emacs-version which
version of epoch you are really working using.

As it is now, the latest build of epoch-4.0p2 will have a 4.0.x
version number which is SMALLER than my latest build of epoch-4.0p1 !

I wish to note that the change to event.el to (require 'cl) instead of
(require 'mini-cl) is only necessary to byte-compile the file. After
you have byte-compiled the file you really do not need 'cl loaded.

The existence of the (require 'cl) is going to mean that the dumped
epoch image is going to be bigger than may be desirable and you will
probably need to increase the PURESIZE in config.h by a fairly large
amount.

A better way to work around this would be if the instructions for
byte-compiling event.el include doing a (load "cl") first. You should
then be able to avoid having a requirement of using 'cl. As an
alternative, event.el could be hacked to only use the features present
in 'mini-cl.

Please, when do the increments give is 4.1? I am still unhappy with
4.0px, since the "x" is not obvious.

ta,
Gordon,
