* Installation Changes in Emacs 23.2
+---
** New configure options for Emacs developers
These are not new features; only the configure flags are new.
-
+---
*** --enable-profiling builds Emacs with profiling enabled.
This might not work on all platforms.
-
+---
*** --enable-checking[=OPTIONS] builds emacs with extra runtime checks.
---
** `make install' now consistently ignores umask, creating a
world-readable install.
-* Startup Changes in Emacs 23.2
-
-** Command-line option -Q (--quick) now also disables loading X resources.
-Note however that this does not affect Lucid or Motif widgets, if you
-are using those toolkits. On Windows, this option causes Emacs to
-ignore Registry settings, though environment variables set on the
-Registry are still honored.
++++
+** Emacs compiles with Gconf support, if it is detected.
+Use the configure option --without-gconf to disable this.
+This is used by the `font-use-system-font' feature (see below).
+* Startup Changes in Emacs 23.2
++++
+** The command-line option -Q (--quick) also inhibits loading X resources.
+However, if Emacs is compiled with the Lucid or Motif toolkit, X
+resource settings for the graphical widgets are still applied.
+On Windows, the -Q option causes Emacs to ignore Registry settings,
+but environment variables set on the Registry are still honored.
++++
*** The new variable `inhibit-x-resources' shows whether X resources
were loaded.
-* Changes in Emacs 23.2
++++
+** New command-line option -mm (--maximized) maximizes the initial frame.
-** Function arguments in *Help* buffers are now in uppercase by default.
-You can customize the new variable `help-downcase-arguments' to change it.
+* Changes in Emacs 23.2
-** Unibyte sessions are now considered obsolete.
-I.e. the use of the environment variable EMACS_UNIBYTE, or command line
-arguments --unibyte, --multibyte, --no-multibyte, and --no-unibyte
-is deprecated. Similarly for custom-izing enable-multibyte-characters, or
-setting default-enable-multibyte-characters.
++++
+** The maximum size of buffers (and the largest fixnum) is doubled.
+On typical 32bit systems, buffers can now be up to 512MB.
-** The default value of `trash-directory' has changed to nil, which
-means that `move-file-to-trash' trashes files according to
+---
+** The default value of `trash-directory' is now nil.
+This means that `move-file-to-trash' trashes files according to
freedesktop.org specifications, the same method used by the Gnome,
KDE, and XFCE desktops. (This change has no effect on Windows, which
uses `system-move-file-to-trash' for trashing.)
+++
-** Emacs frames can be maximized.
-The command line arguments -mm/--maximized and the value maximized to the
-frame parameter fullscreen makes the Emacs frame maximized.
-
-+++
-** New frame parameter sticky makes Emacs frames sticky in virtual desktops.
-
** The pointer now becomes invisible when typing.
-Customize make-pointer-invisible to turn it off.
+Customize `make-pointer-invisible' to disable this feature.
-** Killing a buffer with a running process now asks a confirmation.
-You can remove this query in two ways: either removing
-`process-kill-buffer-query-function' from `kill-buffer-query-functions' or
-setting the appropriate process flag with `set-process-query-on-exit-flag'.
+** Font changes
++++
+*** Emacs can use the system default monospaced font in Gnome.
+To enable this feature, set `font-use-system-font' to non-nil (it is
+nil by default). If the system default changes, Emacs changes also.
+This feature requires Gconf support, which is automatically included
+at compile-time if configure detects the gconf libraries (you can
+disable this with the configure option --without-gconf).
+---
+*** On X11, Emacs reacts to Xft changes made by configuration tools,
+via the XSETTINGS mechanism. This includes antialias, hinting,
+hintstyle, RGBA, DPI and lcdfilter changes.
-** The variable `load-in-progress' won't get corrupted by binding it
-with `let'. In certain situations, loading an Emacs Lisp file from
-source while in the midst of loading another file (e.g., with
-`require' or `autoload') could cause the value of `load-in-progress'
-to be corrupted once the outer load completed. Most code doesn't care
-about this, but some (like c-mode) may check it.
++++
+** Killing a buffer with a running process now asks for confirmation.
+To remove this query, remove `process-kill-buffer-query-function' from
+`kill-buffer-query-functions', or set the appropriate process flag
+with `set-process-query-on-exit-flag'.
** File-local variable changes
-
++++
*** Specifying a minor mode as a local variables enables that mode,
unconditionally. The previous behavior, toggling the mode, was
neither reliable nor generally desirable.
-*** New commands for adding and removing file-local variables:
++++
+*** There are new commands for adding and removing file-local variables:
`add-file-local-variable', `delete-file-local-variable',
`add-file-local-variable-prop-line', and
`delete-file-local-variable-prop-line'.
-*** New commands for adding and removing directory-local variables,
++++
+*** There are new commands for adding and removing directory-local variables,
and copying them to and from file-local variable lists:
`add-dir-local-variable', `delete-dir-local-variable',
`copy-dir-locals-to-file-locals',
`copy-dir-locals-to-file-locals-prop-line' and
`copy-file-locals-to-dir-locals'.
-** New coding system `utf-8-hfs' is available in
-international/ucs-normalize.el. It is suitable for
-default-file-name-coding-system on Mac OS X.
+** Internationalization changes
++++
+*** Unibyte sessions are now considered obsolete.
+This refers to the EMACS_UNIBYTE environment variable as well as the
+--unibyte, --multibyte, --no-multibyte, and --no-unibyte command line
+arguments. Customizing enable-multibyte-characters and setting
+default-enable-multibyte-characters are also deprecated.
+---
+*** New coding system `utf-8-hfs'.
+This is suitable for default-file-name-coding-system on Mac OS X; see
+international/ucs-normalize.el.
+
+---
+** Function arguments in *Help* buffers are now shown in upper-case.
+Customize `help-downcase-arguments' to t to show them in lower-case.
\f
* Editing Changes in Emacs 23.2
-** Selection changes
+** Kill-ring and selection changes
+++
*** If `select-active-regions' is t, any active region automatically
becomes the primary selection (for interaction with other window
applications). If you enable this, you might want to bind
`mouse-yank-primary' to Mouse-2.
++++
+*** When `save-interprogram-paste-before-kill' is non-nil, the kill
+commands save the interprogram-paste selection into the kill ring
+before doing anything else. This avoids losing the selection.
++++
+*** When `kill-do-not-save-duplicates' is non-nil, identical
+subsequent kills are not duplicated in the `kill-ring'.
-*** When `save-interprogram-paste-before-kill' is non-nil, emacs will
-not clobber the the interprogram paste when something is killed in it
-by saving the former in the `kill-ring' before the latter.
+** Completion changes
-** When `kill-do-not-save-duplicates' is non-nil, identical subsequent
-kills are not duplicated in the `kill-ring'.
+*** The new command `completion-at-point' provides mode-sensitive completion.
++++
+*** tab-always-indent set to `complete' lets TAB do completion as well.
++++
+*** The new completion-style `initials' is available.
+For instance, this can complete M-x lch to list-command-history.
+---
+*** The new variable `completions-format' determines how completions
+are displayed in the *Completions* buffer. If you set it to
+`vertical', completions are sorted vertically in columns.
+++
-** The default value for `blink-matching-paren-distance' has been increased.
+** The default value of `blink-matching-paren-distance' is increased.
-** The new completion-style `initials' is available.
-For instance, this can complete M-x lch to list-command-history.
+---
+** M-n provides more default values in the minibuffer for commands
+that read file names. These include the file name at point (when ffap
+is loaded without ffap-bindings), the file name on the current line
+(in Dired buffers), and the directory names of adjacent Dired windows
+(for Dired commands that operate on several directories, such as copy,
+rename, or diff).
++++
+** M-r is bound to the new `move-to-window-line-top-bottom'.
+This moves point to the window center, top and bottom on successive
+invocations, in the same spirit as the C-l (recenter-top-bottom)
+command.
+
++++
+** The new variable `recenter-positions' determines the default
+cycling order of C-l (`recenter-top-bottom').
+
++++
+** The abbrevs file is now a file named abbrev_defs in
+user-emacs-directory; but the old location, ~/.abbrev_defs, is used if
+that file exists.
\f
* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 23.2
-** .calc.el and .abbrev_defs obey user-emacs-directory.
+---
+** The bookmark menu has a narrowing search via bookmark-bmenu-search.
-** Calc graphing commands (`g f' etc.) now work on MS-Windows,
-if you have the native Windows port of Gnuplot version 3.8 or later
-installed.
+** LaTeX mode now provides completion (via completion-at-point).
-** Calendar and diary
+---
+** sym-comp.el is now declared obsolete, superseded by completion-at-point.
+
+---
+** lucid.el and levents.el are now declared obsolete.
+
+---
+** pcomplete provides a new command `pcomplete-std-completion' which
+is similar to `pcomplete' but using the standard completion UI code.
+
+** Calc
++++
+*** The Calc settings file is now a file named calc.el in
+user-emacs-directory; but the old location, ~/.calc.el, is used if
+that file exists.
+---
+*** Graphing commands (`g f' etc.) now work on MS-Windows, if you have
+the native Windows port of Gnuplot version 3.8 or later installed.
+** Calendar and diary
++++
*** Fancy diary display is now the default.
If you prefer the simple display, customize `diary-display-function'.
-
++++
*** The diary's fancy display now enables view-mode.
-
---
*** The command `calendar-current-date' accepts an optional argument
giving an offset from today.
exempt buffers that do correspond to files, customize the value of
`desktop-files-not-to-save' instead.
-** FIXME mail-user-agent change
-This probably affects a lot of documentation.
+** Dired
++++
+*** The new variable `dired-auto-revert-buffer', if non-nil, causes
+Dired buffers to be reverted automatically on revisiting them.
+
+** DocView
++++
+*** When `doc-view-continuous' is non-nil, scrolling a line
+on the page edge advances to the next/previous page.
+
+** GDB-UI
+
++++
+*** Toolbar functionality for reverse debugging. Display of STL
+collections as watch expressions. These features require GDB 7.0 or later.
-** FIXME gdb-mi
+** Grep
++++
+*** A new command `zrgrep' searches recursively in gzipped files.
** Info
++++
*** The new command `Info-virtual-index' bound to "I" displays a menu of
matched topics found in the index.
++++
*** The new command `info-finder' replaces finder.el with a virtual Info
manual that generates an Info file which gives the same information
through a menu structure.
+++
-** New connection methods in Tramp.
-The new connection methods "rsyncc", "imap" and "imaps" have been
-introduced. On systems which support GVFS-Fuse, Tramp offers also the
-new connection methods "dav", "davs", "obex" and "synce".
+** Message mode is now the default mode for composing mail.
+The default for `mail-user-agent' is now message-user-agent, so the
+C-x m (`compose-mail') command uses Message mode instead of Mail mode.
+
+Message mode has been included in Emacs, as part of the Gnus package,
+for several years. It provides several features that are absent in
+Mail mode, such as MIME handling.
+
+---
+*** If the user has not customized mail-user-agent, `compose-mail'
+checks for Mail mode customizations, and issues a warning if these
+customizations are found. This alerts users who may otherwise be
+unaware that their mail configuration has changed.
+
+To disable this check, set compose-mail-user-agent-warnings to nil.
+
+---
+** The default value of mail-interactive is t, since Emacs 23.1.
+(This was not announced at the time.) It means that when sending mail,
+Emacs will wait for the process sending mail to return. If you
+experience delays when sending mail, you may wish to set this to nil.
+
++++
** nXML mode is now the default for editing XML files.
-** VC and related modes
+** Shell (and other comint modes)
++++
+*** M-s is no longer bound to `comint-next-matching-input'.
++++
+*** M-r is now bound to `comint-history-isearch-backward-regexp'.
+This starts an incremental search of the comint/shell input history.
++++
+*** ansi-color is now enabled by default in Shell mode.
+To disable it, set ansi-color-for-comint-mode to nil.
+** Tramp
++++
+*** New connection methods "rsyncc", "imap" and "imaps".
+On systems which support GVFS-Fuse, Tramp offers also the new
+connection methods "dav", "davs", "obex" and "synce".
+
+** VC and related modes
++++
*** When using C-x v v or C-x v i on a unregistered file that is in a
directory not controlled by any VCS, ask the user what VC backend to
use to create a repository, create a new repository and register the
file.
-
-*** FIXME: add info about the new VC functions: vc-root-diff and
-vc-root-print-log once they stabilize.
-
++++
+*** New command `vc-root-print-log', bound to `C-x v L'.
+This displays a `*vc-change-log*' buffer showing the history of the
+version-controlled directory tree as a whole.
++++
+*** New command `vc-root-diff', bound to `C-x v D'.
+This is similar to `vc-diff', but compares the entire directory tree
+of the current VC directory with its working revision.
++++
+*** `C-x v l' and `C-x v L' do not show the full log by default.
+The number of entries shown can be chosen interactively with a prefix
+argument, or by customizing vc-log-show-limit. The `*vc-change-log*'
+buffer now contains buttons at the end of the buffer, which can be
+used to increase the number of entries shown. RCS, SCCS, and CVS do
+not support this feature.
+---
*** vc-annotate supports annotations through file copies and renames,
it displays the old names for the files and it can show logs/diffs for
the corresponding lines. Currently only Git and Mercurial take
advantage of this feature.
-
+---
+*** The log command in vc-annotate can display a single log entry
+instead of redisplaying the full log. The RCS, CVS and SCCS VC
+backends do not support this.
+---
*** When a file is not found, VC will not try to check it out of RCS anymore.
++++
+*** Diff and log operations can be used from Dired buffers.
*** vc-git changes
-**** The new variable vc-git-add-signoff can be used to add a
-Signed-off-by line when committing.
+---
+**** The short log format for git makes use of the graph display,
+so it's not supported on git versions earlier than 1.5.6.
-**** Support for operating with stashes has been added to vc-dir: the stash list is
-displayed in the *vc-dir* header, stashes can be created, removed and
-their content displayed.
+---
+**** vc-dir uses the --relative option of git, and so requires at least
+git version 1.5.5.
-**** vc-dir displays the stash status
++++
+**** Support for operating with stashes has been added to vc-dir:
+the stash list is displayed in the *vc-dir* header, stashes can be
+created, removed, applied and their content displayed.
++++
+*** vc-bzr supports operating with shelves: the shelve list is
+displayed in the *vc-dir* header, shelves can be created, removed and applied.
+---
*** log-edit-strip-single-file-name controls whether or not single filenames
are stripped when copying text from the ChangeLog to the *VC-Log* buffer.
** Elint
-
---
*** Elint now uses compilation-mode.
-
---
*** Elint can now scan individual files and whole directories,
and can be run in batch mode.
-
---
*** Elint does a more thorough initialization, and recognizes more built-in
functions and variables. Customize `elint-scan-preloaded' if you want
to sacrifice some accuracy for a faster startup.
-
---
*** Elint attempts some basic understanding of featurep and (f)boundp tests.
-
---
*** Customize `elint-ignored-warnings' to suppress some warnings.
** Miscellaneous
-
++++
*** The new command `async-shell-command' bound globally to `M-&' executes
the command asynchronously without the need to manually add ampersand to
the end of the command. Its output appears in the buffer `*Async Shell
Command*'.
-
+++
-*** Autorevert Tail mode now works now for remote files.
+*** Interactively `multi-isearch-buffers' and `multi-isearch-buffers-regexp'
+read buffer names to search, one by one, ended with RET. With a prefix
+argument, they ask for a regexp, and search in buffers whose names match
+the specified regexp. Interactively `multi-isearch-files' and
+`multi-isearch-files-regexp' read file names to search, one by one,
+ended with RET. With a prefix argument, they ask for a wildcard, and
+search in file buffers whose file names match the specified wildcard.
++++
+*** Autorevert Tail mode now works also for remote files.
++++
+*** The new eshell built-in commands `su' and `sudo' support Tramp.
+That means, they change `default-directory' to the new users value,
+and let commands run under that user permissions. It works even when
+`default-directory' is already remote. Calling the external commands
+is possible by `*su' or `*sudo', respectively.
+---
+*** When running in a new enough xterm (newer than version 242), Emacs
+asks xterm what the background color is and it sets up faces
+accordingly for a dark background if needed (the current default is to
+consider the background light).
\f
* New Modes and Packages in Emacs 23.2
-** FIXME CEDET
+** CEDET (the Collection of Emacs Development Tools) is now in Emacs.
+This is a collection of packages to aid with using Emacs as an IDE
+(integrated development environment):
+
++++
+*** The Semantic package allows the use of parsers to intelligently
+edit and navigate source code. Parsers for C/C++, Java, Javascript,
+and several other languages are included by default, and Semantic can
+also interface with external tools such as GNU Global and GNU Idutils.
+
+To enable Semantic, use the global minor mode `semantic-mode'.
+See the Semantic manual for details.
+
++++
+*** EDE (Emacs Development Environment) is a package for managing code
+projects, including features such as automatic Makefile generation.
+
+To enable EDE, use the minor mode `global-ede-mode'.
+See the EDE manual for details.
+
+*** SRecode is a library for recoding Semantic tags back into source
+code. It is currently used by some parts of Semantic and EDE; in the
+future, it may be used for code generation features.
+
++++
+*** The EIEIO library implements a subset of the Common Lisp Object
+System (CLOS). It is used by the other CEDET packages.
+---
+** mpc.el is a front end for the Music Player Daemon. Run it with M-x mpc.
+
++++
+** htmlfontify.el turns a fontified Emacs buffer into an HTML page.
+
++++
** js.el is a new major mode for JavaScript files.
+---
** imap-hash.el is a new library to address IMAP mailboxes as hashtables.
\f
+* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 23.2
+
++++
+** The Lisp reader turns integers that are too large/small into floats.
+For instance, on machines where `536870911' is the largest integer,
+reading `536870912' gives the floating-point object `536870912.0'.
+
+This change only concerns the Lisp reader; it does not affect how
+actual integer objects overflow.
+
+---
+** Several obsolete functions removed.
+The functions have been obsolete since Emacs 19, and are unlikely to
+be in use:
+
+ time-stamp-month-dd-yyyy, time-stamp-dd/mm/yyyy, time-stamp-mon-dd-yyyy
+ time-stamp-dd-mon-yy, time-stamp-yy/mm/dd, time-stamp-yyyy/mm/dd,
+ time-stamp-yyyy-mm-dd, time-stamp-yymmdd, time-stamp-hh:mm:ss,
+ time-stamp-hhmm, baud-rate
+
+---
+** Support for generating Emacs 18 compatible bytecode (by setting
+the variable `byte-compile-compatibility') has been removed.
+
+---
+** In image-mode.el `image-mode-maybe' is obsolete.
+Instead, you can either use `image-mode' (which displays an image file
+as the actual image initially), or `image-mode-as-text' (when you want
+to display an image file as text initially). `image-mode-as-text' is a
+combination of a non-image mode from `auto-mode-alist' (or Fundamental
+mode) and `image-minor-mode'. `image-minor-mode' provides a `C-c C-c'
+key binding to toggle image display.
+`image-toggle-display-text' removes image properties.
+`image-toggle-display-image' adds image properties.
+`image-toggle-display' toggles between `image-mode-as-text' and `image-mode'.
+
+\f
* Lisp changes in Emacs 23.2
+---
+** All the default-FOO variables that hold the default value of the FOO
+variable, are now declared obsolete.
+
++++
+** read-key is a function halfway between read-event and read-key-sequence.
+It reads a single key, but obeys input and escape sequence decoding.
+
+** Frame parameter changes
++++
+*** You can give the `fullscreen' frame parameter the value `maximized'.
+This maximizes the frame.
++++
+*** The new frame parameter `sticky' makes Emacs frames sticky in
+virtual desktops.
-** completion-base-size is obsoleted by completion-base-position.
+** Completion changes
+---
+*** completion-base-size is obsoleted by completion-base-position.
This change causes a few backward incompatibilities, mostly with
choose-completion-string-functions where the `mini-p' argument has
been replaced by a `base-position' argument, and where the `base-size'
argument is now always nil.
++++
+*** New function `completion-in-region' to use the standard completion
+facilities on a particular region of text.
++++
+*** The 4th arg to all-completions (aka hide-spaces) is declared obsolete.
++++
+*** completion-annotate-function specifies how to compute annotations
+for completions displayed in *Completions*.
+
+** Minibuffer changes
+---
+*** read-file-name-predicate is obsolete. It was used to pass the predicate
+to read-file-name-internal because read-file-name-internal abused its `pred'
+argument to pass the current directory, but this hack is not needed
+any more.
+** Changes to file-manipulation functions
++++
+*** `delete-directory' has an optional parameter RECURSIVE.
++++
+*** New function `copy-directory', which copies a directory recursively.
+
++++
** called-interactively-p now takes one argument and replaces interactive-p
which is now marked obsolete.
+
++++
** New function set-advertised-calling-convention makes it possible
to obsolete arguments as well as make some arguments mandatory.
-** eval-next-after-load is obsolete.
-** New hook `after-load-functions' run after loading an Elisp file.
** You can control which binding is preferentially shown in menus and
docstrings by adding a `:advertised-binding' property to the corresponding
command's symbol. That property can hold a single binding or a list
of bindings.
-** New macro with-silent-modifications to tweak text properties without
-affecting the buffer's modification state.
-** All the default-FOO variables that hold the default value of the FOO
-variable, are now declared obsolete.
+** Network and process changes
++++
+*** start-process-shell-command and start-file-process-shell-command
+now only take a single `command' argument.
++++
+*** The new variable `process-file-side-effects' should be set to nil
+if a `process-file' call does not change a remote file. This allows
+file name handlers such as Tramp to optimizations.
++++
+*** make-network-process can now also create `seqpacket' Unix sockets.
-** read-key is a function halfway between read-event and read-key-sequence.
-It reads a single key, but obeys input and escape sequence decoding.
+** Loading changes
+---
+*** eval-next-after-load is obsolete.
++++
+*** New hook `after-load-functions' run after loading an Elisp file.
-** start-process-shell-command and start-file-process-shell-command
-now only take a single `command' argument.
+** Byte compilation changes
+---
+*** Changing the file-names generated by byte-compilation by redefining
+the function `byte-compile-dest-file' before loading bytecomp.el is obsolete.
+Instead, customize byte-compile-dest-file-function.
+---
+*** `byte-compile-warnings' has new members, `constants' and `suspicious'.
-** The variable `process-file-side-effects' shall be bound to nil, if
-a `process-file' call does not change a remote file. By this, file
-name handlers like Tramp can apply optimizations.
+** New macro with-silent-modifications to tweak text properties without
+affecting the buffer's modification state.
++++
** Hash tables have a new printed representation that is readable.
The feature `hashtable-print-readable' identifies this new
functionality.
-** Functions performing Unicode normalization are added. They are:
+** New functions for performing Unicode normalization:
ucs-normalize-NFD-region, ucs-normalize-NFD-string,
ucs-normalize-NFC-region, ucs-normalize-NFC-string,
ucs-normalize-NFKD-region, ucs-normalize-NFKD-string,
ucs-normalize-HFS-NFD-region, ucs-normalize-HFS-NFD-string,
ucs-normalize-HFS-NFC-region, ucs-normalize-HFS-NFC-string.
-** completion-annotate-function specifies how to compute annotations
-for completions displayed in *Completions*.
-
+++
** Face aliases can now be marked as obsolete, using the macro
`define-obsolete-face-alias'.
----
-** Changing the file-names generated by byte-compilation by redefining
-the function `byte-compile-dest-file' before loading bytecomp.el is obsolete.
-Instead, customize byte-compile-dest-file-function.
-
-** Several obsolete functions removed.
-The functions have been obsolete since Emacs 19, and are unlikely to
-be in use:
-
- time-stamp-month-dd-yyyy, time-stamp-dd/mm/yyyy, time-stamp-mon-dd-yyyy
- time-stamp-dd-mon-yy, time-stamp-yy/mm/dd, time-stamp-yyyy/mm/dd,
- time-stamp-yyyy-mm-dd, time-stamp-yymmdd, time-stamp-hh:mm:ss,
- time-stamp-hhmm, baud-rate
-
-** `delete-directory' has an optional parameter RECURSIVE.
-
-** New function `copy-directory', which copies a directory recursively.
-
+++
** New function `window-full-height-p', analogous to the full-width version.
*** Emacs now supports multi-page TIFF images.
