* Installation Changes in Emacs 24.1
|
2008-06-24 17:27:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-29 03:08:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Emacs can be compiled with Gtk+ 3.0 if you pass --with-x-toolkit=gtk3
|
|
|
|
|
to configure. Note that other libraries used by Emacs, RSVG and GConf,
|
|
|
|
|
also depend on Gtk+. You can disable them with --without-rsvg and
|
|
|
|
|
--without-gconf.
|
2010-06-11 03:35:40 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-29 03:08:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Emacs can be compiled with GnuTLS support.
|
|
|
|
|
This happens by default if a suitably recent version of the library is
|
|
|
|
|
found at build time. To prevent this, use the configure option
|
|
|
|
|
`--without-gnutls'. See below for GnuTLS features.
|
2010-06-11 03:35:40 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-29 03:08:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Emacs can be compiled with SELinux support.
|
|
|
|
|
This happens by default if a suitably recent version of the library is
|
|
|
|
|
found at build time. To prevent this, use the configure option
|
|
|
|
|
`--without-selinux'. See below for SELinux features.
|
Replace some cpp with autoconf.
* configure.in (--with-mmdf, --with-mail-unlink):
New options, off by default.
(--with-mailhost): New option to set default POP host.
(LIBXPM, LIBJPEG, LIBPNG, LIBTIFF, LIBGIF, LIBGPM, LIBS_MAIL)
(LIBHESIOD, LIBRESOLV, COM_ERRLIB, CRYPTOLIB, KRB5LIB, DESLIB, KRB4LIB):
New variables, substituted in Makefiles.
(try_libungif, ac_gif_lib_name): Replace with HAVE_GIF=maybe, LIBGIF.
(LIBGIF): Use AC_SUBST rather than AC_DEFINE.
(HAVE_LIBMAIL, HAVE_LIBLOCKFILE, HAVE_LIBCOM_ERR, HAVE_LIBCRYPTO)
(HAVE_LIBK5CRYPTO, HAVE_LIBKRB5, HAVE_LIBDES425, HAVE_LIBDES)
(HAVE_LIBKRB4, HAVE_LIBKRB): New AC_DEFINEs.
* lib-src/Makefile.in (KRB4LIB, DESLIB, KRB5LIB, CRYPTOLIB, COM_ERRLIB)
(HESIODLIB, LIBS_MAIL): Set using autoconf rather than cpp.
(BASE_CFLAGS): Remove (identical to CPP_CFLAGS).
* src/Makefile.in (XFT_LIBS, LIBXPM, LIBJPEG, LIBPNG, LIBTIFF, LIBGIF)
(LIBGPM, LIBRESOLV): Set using autoconf rather than cpp.

2012-01-29 03:08:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Emacs can be compiled with ImageMagick support.
|
|
|
|
|
This happens by default if a suitably recent version of the library is
|
|
|
|
|
found at build time. To prevent this, use the configure option
|
|
|
|
|
`--without-imagemagick'. See below for ImageMagick features.
|
2012-02-06 17:24:23 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This feature is not available for the Nextstep or MS ports.
|
2010-07-02 08:11:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-29 03:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Emacs can be compiled with libxml2 support.
|
|
|
|
|
This happens by default if a suitably recent version of the library is
|
|
|
|
|
found at build time. To prevent this, use the configure option
|
|
|
|
|
`--without-xml2'. See below for libxml2 features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** By default, the installed Info and man pages are compressed.
|
|
|
|
|
You can disable this by configuring --without-compress-info.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** New configure option --with-wide-int.
|
2011-06-07 04:16:37 +00:00
|
|
|
|
With it, Emacs integers typically have 62 bits, even on 32-bit machines.
|
2011-10-18 15:55:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
On 32-bit hosts, this raises the limit on buffer sizes from about 512 MiB
|
|
|
|
|
to about 2 GiB.
|
2011-06-07 04:16:37 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** New configure options: --with-mmdf, --with-mail-unlink, --with-mailhost.
|
2012-01-29 03:08:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
These provide no new functionality, they just remove the need to edit
|
|
|
|
|
lib-src/Makefile by hand in order to use the associated features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** New configure option --enable-use-lisp-union-type.
|
2012-01-29 03:08:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This is only useful for Emacs developers to debug certain types of bugs.
|
|
|
|
|
This is not a new feature; only the configure flag is new.
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** The standalone programs digest-doc and sorted-doc are removed.
|
|
|
|
|
Emacs now uses Lisp commands `doc-file-to-man' and `doc-file-to-info'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** The standalone program `fakemail' is removed.
|
|
|
|
|
If you need it, feedmail.el provides a superset of the functionality.
|
|
|

* Startup Changes in Emacs 24.1
|
2008-07-31 11:52:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-22 21:15:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** The --unibyte, --multibyte, --no-multibyte, and --no-unibyte
|
2010-12-03 02:54:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
command line arguments, and the EMACS_UNIBYTE environment variable, no
|
|
|
|
|
longer have any effect. (They were declared obsolete in Emacs 23.)
|
2010-08-22 21:15:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-01-07 03:10:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** New command line option `--no-site-lisp' removes site-lisp directories
|
2012-01-27 21:19:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
from load-path. -Q now implies this. This option does not affect the
|
|
|
|
|
EMACSLOADPATH environment variable (and hence has no effect for
|
2012-04-04 07:29:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Nextstep builds).
|
2011-01-07 03:10:39 +00:00

|
|
|
|
2011-05-24 02:45:50 +00:00

** Completion
|
2011-07-12 01:38:28 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Many packages now use the `completion-at-point' command,
|
|
|
|
|
rather than implementing separate completion commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-07 16:22:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `completion-at-point' now handles tags and semantic completion.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-05-24 02:45:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Completion in a non-minibuffer now tries to detect the end of completion
|
|
|
|
|
and pops down the *Completions* buffer accordingly.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** New option `completion-cycle-threshold' allows completion cycling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** New option `completion-category-overrides' for overriding the
|
2012-04-05 06:54:40 +00:00
|
|
|
|
default completion style in certain circumstances.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-05-24 02:45:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New completion style `substring'.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Completion of buffer names uses `substring' completion by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** The option `widget-complete-field' has been removed.
|
2011-05-31 03:03:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-07 11:59:05 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Mail changes
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** The first time you try sending mail, Emacs asks for a mail method.
|
|
|
|
|
This is implemented by a new default for `send-mail-function', which
|
|
|
|
|
is `sendmail-query-once'. This offers to use the smtpmail package, or
|
|
|
|
|
to use the old defaults relying on external mail facilities
|
|
|
|
|
(`sendmail-send-it' on GNU/Linux and other Unix-like systems, and
|
|
|
|
|
`mailclient-send-it' on Windows).
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Typing C-c m in the buffer made by M-x report-emacs-bug transfers
|
|
|
|
|
the report to your desktop's preferred mail client, if there is one.
|
|
|
|
|
This uses either the "xdg-email" utility, or Mac OS's "open" command.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00

** Emacs server and client changes
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New option `server-port' specifies the port for TCP Emacs servers.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New emacsclient argument -q/--quiet suppresses some status messages.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New emacsclient argument --frame-parameters specifies the frame
|
|
|
|
|
parameters of any newly-created graphical frame.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** If emacsclient shuts down due to Emacs signaling an error,
|
|
|
|
|
its exit status is 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New emacsclient argument --parent-id ID.
|
|
|
|
|
This opens a client frame in parent X window ID, via XEmbed, similar
|
|
|
|
|
to the --parent-id argument to Emacs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-05-16 11:27:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Internationalization changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Emacs now supports display and editing of bidirectional text.
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Right-to-left (RTL) scripts, such as Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew, are
|
|
|
|
|
displayed in the correct visual order as expected by users of those
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
scripts. The display reordering is a "full bidirectionality" class
|
|
|
|
|
implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (UBA). Buffers
|
|
|
|
|
with no RTL text should look exactly the same as before.
|
2010-03-29 12:26:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
**** New buffer-local variable `bidi-display-reordering'.
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
To disable display reordering in a buffer, change this to nil.
|
2010-05-15 13:23:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
**** New buffer-local variable `bidi-paragraph-direction'.
|
|
|
|
|
If nil (the default), Emacs determines the base direction of each
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
paragraph from its text, as specified by the UBA. Setting the value
|
|
|
|
|
to `right-to-left' or `left-to-right' forces a base direction on each
|
|
|
|
|
paragraph.
|
2010-03-29 12:26:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Paragraphs with right-to-left base direction are displayed starting at
|
|
|
|
|
the right window edge.
|
2011-08-27 08:36:56 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Enhanced support for characters with no glyphs in available fonts,
|
|
|
|
|
or, on text terminals, characters that cannot be encoded by the
|
|
|
|
|
terminal coding system. The new option `glyphless-char-display-control'
|
|
|
|
|
specifies how to display them: as a hexadecimal code in a box, a thin
|
|
|
|
|
1-pixel space, an empty box, etc.
|
2011-05-16 11:27:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New input methods: farsi, farsi-translit, bulgarian-alt-phonetic.
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-18 21:11:17 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `nobreak-char-display' now also highlights Unicode hyphen chars
|
|
|
|
|
(U+2010 and U+2011).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New Hebrew translation of the Emacs Tutorial.
|
2012-01-29 03:08:15 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Type `C-u C-h t' to choose it in case your language setup doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
automatically select it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** An Emacs Lisp package manager is now included.
|
|
|
|
|
This is a convenient way to download and install additional packages,
|
|
|
|
|
from a package repository at http://elpa.gnu.org.
|

*** M-x list-packages shows a list of packages, which can be
|
|
|
|
|
selected for installation.

|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** By default, all installed packages are loaded automatically when
|
|
|
|
|
Emacs starts up. To disable this, set `package-enable-at-startup' to
|
|
|
|
|
nil. To specify the packages to load, customize `package-load-list'.

** Custom theme changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New command `M-x customize-themes', which provides a convenient
|
|
|
|
|

*** New option `custom-theme-load-path' is the load path for themes.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Emacs no longer looks for Custom themes in `load-path'. The default
|
|
|
|
|
value of `custom-theme-load-path' says to look for themes in
|
|
|
|
|
`custom-theme-directory', followed by a subdirectory of
|
|
|
|
|
`data-directory' named "themes/", which contains a small selection of
|
|
|
|
|
built-in Custom themes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New option `custom-safe-themes' records known-safe theme files.
|
|
|
|
|
If a theme is not in this list, Emacs queries before loading it, and
|
|
|
|
|
offers to save the theme to `custom-safe-themes' automatically. By
|
|
|
|
|
default, all themes included in Emacs are treated as safe.

** Improved GTK integration
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** GTK scroll-bars are now placed on the right by default.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The function `set-scroll-bar-mode' can change this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** GTK tool bars can have just text, just images or images and text.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Customize `tool-bar-style' to choose the style. On a Gnome desktop,
|
|
|
|
|
the default is taken from desktop settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** GTK tool bars can be placed on any edge of the frame.
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The frame-parameter tool-bar-position controls this. It takes the
|
|
|
|
|
values top, left, right or bottom. The Options => Show/Hide menu has
|
|
|
|
|
entries for this.

*** The default colors for selected text (the `region' face) are taken
|
|
|
|
|
from the GTK theme when Emacs is built with GTK.

2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Emacs uses GTK tooltips by default if built with GTK.
|
|
|
|
|
You can disable this by changing `x-gtk-use-system-tooltips' to nil.

** Graphical interface changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** On graphical displays, the mode-line no longer ends in dashes.
|
|
|
|
|
Also, the first dash (which does not indicate anything) is just
|
|
|
|
|
displayed as a space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** `menu-bar-select-buffer-function' lets you choose another operation
|
|
|
|
|
instead of `switch-to-buffer' when selecting an item in the Buffers menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Lucid menus and dialogs can display antialiased fonts if Emacs is
|
|
|
|
|
built with Xft. These fonts can be set via X resources, for example:
|
|
|
|
|
Emacs.pane.menubar.font: Courier-12
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Emacs now calls `kill-emacs' if it receives SIGTERM or SIGHUP,
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
or if it receives a SIGINT signal in batch mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `kill-emacs-hook' is now also run in batch mode.
|
|
|
|
|
Third-party code which adds to `kill-emacs-hook' should check if they
|
|
|
|
|
do the right thing in batch mode.

2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|

*** New scrolling commands `scroll-up-command' and `scroll-down-command'
|
2011-03-19 03:58:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(bound to C-v/[next] and M-v/[prior]) do not signal errors at top/bottom
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
of buffer at first key-press (instead they move to top/bottom of buffer)
|
2011-10-01 21:54:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
when `scroll-error-top-bottom' is non-nil.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** New option `scroll-error-top-bottom' (see above).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New scrolling commands `scroll-up-line' and `scroll-down-line'
|
2010-04-05 23:44:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
scroll a line instead of full screen.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New property `scroll-command' should be set on a command's symbol to
|
2010-09-18 09:15:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
define it as a scroll command affected by `scroll-preserve-screen-position'.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** If you customize `scroll-conservatively' to a value greater than 100,
|
2011-03-31 19:28:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Emacs will never recenter point in the window when it scrolls due to
|
|
|
|
|
cursor motion commands or commands that move point (e.f., `M-g M-g').
|
|
|
|
|
Previously, you needed to use `most-positive-fixnum' as the value of
|
|
|
|
|
`scroll-conservatively' to achieve the same effect.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** "Aggressive" scrolling now honors the scroll margins.
|
2011-03-31 19:28:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
If you customize `scroll-up-aggressively' or
|
|
|
|
|
`scroll-down-aggressively' and move point off the window, Emacs now
|
|
|
|
|
scrolls the window so as to avoid positioning point inside the scroll
|
|
|
|
|
margin.

** Basic SELinux support has been added.
|
|
|
|
|
This requires Emacs to be linked with libselinux at build time.

*** Emacs preserves the SELinux file context when backing up.
|
|
|
|
|
Also, the function `copy-file' has an extra optional argument for
|
|
|

preserving SELinux context, and the return value of `backup-buffer'
|

now includes the SELinux context.

*** You can stop directory local vars from applying to subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
|
Add an element (subdirs . nil) to the alist portion of any variables
|
|
|
|
|
settings to indicate that the section should not apply to
|
|

subdirectories.

*** Directory local variables can apply to some file-less buffers.
|
|
|
|
|
Affected modes include dired, vc-dir, and log-edit. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
adding "(diff-mode . ((mode . whitespace)))" to .dir-locals.el will
|
|
|
|
|
turn on `whitespace-mode' for *vc-diff* buffers. Modes should call
|
|
|
|

`hack-dir-local-variables-non-file-buffer' to support this.

|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
applies to ALL file local variables, not just -*- lines. The
|

|
associated `inhibit-first-line-modes-suffixes' has been renamed in the
|

|
corresponding way.

|
|
|
|
|
modulo restrictions like window minimum sizes and fixed-size windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
2011-09-24 18:19:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
**** New option `display-buffer-base-action' specifies a list of
|
|
|
|
|
user-determined display "actions" (functions and optional arguments
|
|
|
|
|
for choosing the displaying window).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

This takes precedence over the default display action, which is
|
|
|
|
|
specified by `display-buffer-fallback-action'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** New option `display-buffer-alist' maps buffer name regexps to

display actions, taking precedence over `display-buffer-base-action'.

|
The new option `window-combination-limit' allows to return the space

|
|
|
obtained for resizing or creating a window more reliably to the window
|
|
|
|
|
from which such space was obtained.

*** New option `window-combination-resize'.
|
|
|
|
|
The new option `window-combination-resize' allows to split a window that
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise cannot be split because it's too small by stealing space from
|
|
|
|
|
other windows in the same combination. Subsequent resizing or deletion
|
|
|
|
|
of the window will resize all windows in the same combination as well.

*** New option `frame-auto-hide-function' lets you choose between
|
|
|
|
|
iconifying or deleting a frame when burying a buffer in a dedicated
|
|
|
|
|
frame, or quitting a window showing a buffer in a frame of its own.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-09-24 18:19:20 +00:00
|

|
*** New commands `maximize-window' and `minimize-window'.
|
2011-11-19 09:18:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
These maximize and minimize the size of a window within its frame.
|
2011-09-24 18:19:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

been shown in a specific window.

*** The inactive minibuffer has its own major mode `minibuffer-inactive-mode'.
|
2012-02-10 07:44:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This is handy for minibuffer-only frames, and is also used for the feature
|
|
|
|
|
where mouse-1 pops up *Messages*"', which can now easily be changed.

If you want to change the value to something else, you could use

2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|

|
|
for example `minibuffer-setup-hook'.

** New basic faces `error', `warning', `success'.
|
|
|

|
These are used to highlight text indicating failure, caution or
|
|
|
|
|
successful operation.
|
|

** Search changes
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** C-y in Isearch is now bound to `isearch-yank-kill', instead of
|
|
|
|
|
`isearch-yank-line'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** M-y in Isearch is now bound to `isearch-yank-pop', instead of
|
|
|
|
|
`isearch-yank-kill'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** M-s C-e in Isearch is now bound to `isearch-yank-line'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-08 16:37:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** New commands `count-words-region' and `count-words'.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-03-05 06:10:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** M-= is bound to `count-words-region', not `count-lines-region'.
|
|
|
|
|
The `count-words-region' command, when called interactively, reports
|
|
|
|
|
the number of lines, words, and characters in the region. It is a
|
|
|
|
|
superset of the old `count-lines-region', which is now an obsolete
|
|
|
|
|
alias for it.
|
2010-11-13 03:48:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-09-26 15:05:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** The command `just-one-space' (M-SPC), if given a negative argument,
|
2010-12-16 01:20:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
also deletes newlines around point.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-06-28 01:01:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Deletion changes
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2010-06-28 01:01:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New option `delete-active-region'.
|
2011-08-28 18:49:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
If non-nil, [delete] and DEL delete the region if it is active and no
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
prefix argument is given. If set to `kill', those commands kill
|
2011-08-28 18:49:59 +00:00
|
|
|
|
instead.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-20 22:41:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New command `delete-forward-char', bound to [delete].
|
2010-11-01 03:20:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This is meant for interactive use, and obeys `delete-active-region'.
|
|
|
|
|
The command `delete-char' does not obey `delete-active-region'.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2010-06-28 01:01:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `delete-backward-char' is now a Lisp function.
|
|
|
|
|
Apart from obeying `delete-active-region', its behavior is unchanged.
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
However, the byte compiler now warns if it is called from Lisp; Lisp
|
|
|
|
|
callers should use delete-char with a negative argument instead.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2010-06-28 01:01:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** The option `mouse-region-delete-keys' has been deleted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-07-14 18:03:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Selection changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The default handling of clipboard and primary selections has been
|
|
|
|
|
changed to conform with modern X applications. In short, most
|
|
|
|
|
commands for killing and yanking text now use the clipboard, while
|
|
|
|
|
mouse commands use the primary selection.
|
2011-01-27 21:41:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the following, we provide a list of these changes, followed by a
|
|
|
|
|
list of steps to get the old behavior back if you prefer that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** `select-active-regions' now defaults to t.
|
|
|
|
|
Merely selecting text (e.g. with drag-mouse-1) no longer puts it in
|
2011-07-11 18:40:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the kill ring. The selected text is put in the primary selection, if
|
2011-01-27 21:41:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
the system possesses a separate primary selection facility (e.g. X).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** `select-active-regions' also accepts a new value, `only'.
|
|
|
|
|
This means to only set the primary selection for temporarily active
|
|
|
|
|
regions (usually made by mouse-dragging or shift-selection);
|
|
|
|
|
"ordinary" active regions, such as those made with C-SPC followed by
|
|
|
|
|
point motion, do not alter the primary selection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-11 18:40:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
**** `mouse-drag-copy-region' now defaults to nil.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-01-27 21:41:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** mouse-2 is now bound to `mouse-yank-primary'.
|
|
|
|
|
This pastes from the primary selection, ignoring the kill-ring.
|
|
|
|
|
Previously, mouse-2 was bound to `mouse-yank-at-click'.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-01-27 21:41:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `x-select-enable-clipboard' now defaults to t on all platforms.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-01-27 21:41:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `x-select-enable-primary' now defaults to nil.
|
|
|
|
|
Thus, commands that kill text or copy it to the kill-ring (such as
|
|
|
|
|
M-w, C-w, and C-k) also use the clipboard---not the primary selection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** The "Copy", "Cut", and "Paste" items in the "Edit" menu are now
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
exactly equivalent to M-w, C-w, and C-y respectively.
|
2011-01-27 21:41:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** Note that on MS-Windows, `x-select-enable-clipboard' was already
|
|
|
|
|
non-nil by default, as Windows does not support the primary selection
|
|
|
|
|
between applications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** To return to the previous behavior, do the following:
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-04-03 00:40:35 +00:00
|
|
|
|
**** Change `select-active-regions' to nil.
|
2011-01-27 21:41:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
**** Change `mouse-drag-copy-region' to t.
|
|
|
|
|
**** Change `x-select-enable-primary' to t (on X only).
|
|
|
|
|
**** Change `x-select-enable-clipboard' to nil.
|
|
|
|
|
**** Bind `mouse-yank-at-click' to mouse-2.
|
2010-07-14 18:03:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2010-09-02 09:52:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Support for X cut buffers has been removed.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-29 22:02:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** X clipboard managers are now supported.
|
|
|
|
|
To inhibit this, change `x-select-enable-clipboard-manager' to nil.
|
2011-06-04 21:02:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** New command `C-x r N' (`rectangle-number-lines') numbers the lines
|
|
|
|
|
in the current rectangle. With a prefix argument, this prompts for a
|
|
|
|
|
number to count from and for a format string.
|
2010-12-15 02:56:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** `redisplay-dont-pause' now defaults to t.
|
2011-09-24 14:38:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This makes Emacs feel more responsive to editing commands that arrive
|
|
|
|
|
at high rate, e.g. if you lean on some key, because stopping redisplay
|
|
|
|
|
in the middle (when this variable is nil) forces more expensive
|
|
|
|
|
updates later on, and Emacs appears to be unable to keep up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-29 15:55:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** The behavior of <TAB> for active regions in Text mode has changed.
|
|
|
|
|
In Text and related modes, typing <TAB> (`indent-for-tab-command')
|
|
|
|
|
when the region is active causes Emacs to indent all the lines in the
|
|
|
|
|
region, aligning them with the line previous to the first line in the
|
|
|
|
|
region (or with the left margin if there is no previous line).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** When `occur' is called with a prefix argument, matching strings are
|
|
|
|
|
collected into the `*Occur*' buffer without line numbers. If there
|
|
|
|
|
are parenthesized subexpressions in the specified regexp, `occur'
|
|
|
|
|
reads replacement text that may contain \\& and \\N whose convention
|
|
|
|
|
follows `replace-match'.

*** BibTeX mode now supports biblatex.
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Use the variable `bibtex-dialect' to select different BibTeX dialects.
|
|
|
|
|
`bibtex-entry-field-alist' is now an obsolete alias for
|
|
|
|
|
`bibtex-BibTeX-entry-alist'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** The default browser used by the package is now the "xdg-open" program,
|
|
|
|
|
on platforms that support it. This calls your desktop's preferred browser.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-09-30 02:23:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Calendar, Diary, and Appt
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Diary entries can contain non-printing "comments".
|
2011-05-06 04:28:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
See the variable `diary-comment-start'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-05-06 07:14:30 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Appointments can specify their individual warning times.
|
|

|
|
See the variable `appt-warning-time-regexp'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-06-11 17:54:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** The function specified by `appt-disp-window-function' may be passed
|
|
|
|
|
lists of arguments if multiple appointments are due at similar times.
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using a custom function for this, you should update it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-03-01 03:38:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New function `diary-hebrew-birthday'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-05-18 03:20:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Elements of `calendar-day-abbrev-array' and `calendar-month-abbrev-array'
|
|
|
|
|
may no longer be nil, but must all be strings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** The obsolete (since Emacs 22.1) method of enabling the appt
|
|
|
|
|
package by adding `appt-make-list' to `diary-hook' has been removed.
|
|
|
|
|
Use `appt-activate' instead.
|
2010-09-30 02:23:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Some appt variables (obsolete since Emacs 22.1) have been removed:
|
|
|
|
|
appt-issue-message (use the function appt-activate)
|
|
|
|
|
appt-visible/appt-msg-window (use the variable appt-display-format)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Some diary function aliases (obsolete since Emacs 22.1) have been removed:
|
|
|
|
|
view-diary-entries, list-diary-entries, show-all-diary-entries
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-02 09:59:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** CC Mode
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-02 09:59:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New feature to "guess" the style in an existing buffer.
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The main entry point is M-x c-guess.
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-02 09:59:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Java Mode now supports Java 5.0 (Tiger) and 6 (Mustang).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `c-beginning-of-defun' and `c-end-of-defun' now respect nested scopes.
|
2012-04-02 09:59:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Thus C-M-a will, by default, go to the beginning of the immediate function,
|
|
|
|
|
not the top level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** "Macros with semicolons" can be registered for correct indentation.
|
2012-04-02 09:59:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Where such a macro ends a line (no semicolon) the next statement is no longer
|
|
|
|
|
parsed as a statement continuation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Comint and modes derived from it use the standard completion code.
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Compilation mode
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Compilation mode can be used without Font Lock mode.
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
`compilation-parse-errors-function' is now obsolete.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New variable `compilation-filter-start', which is bound while
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
`compilation-filter-hook' runs. It records the start position of the
|
|
|
|
|
text inserted by `compilation-filter'.

that buffer. (This is handy if you have many manuals in many *info*

This is for compatibility with the stand-alone Info reader program,

by default.

(Its name is misleading, since it has nothing to do with MIME

attachments.) The old name is now an obsolete alias to the new name.

2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** SMTPmail now uses encrypted connections (via STARTTLS) by default
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
if the mail server supports them. This uses either built-in GnuTLS
|
|
|
|
|
support, or the starttls.el library. Customize `smtpmail-stream-type'
|
|
|
|
|
to change this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** The variable `smtpmail-auth-credentials' has been removed.
|
|
|
|
|
By default, the information is now stored in the file ~/.authinfo.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This was the default value of smtpmail-auth-credentials. If you had
|
|
|
|
|
customized smtpmail-auth-credentials to a list of user names and
|
|
|
|
|
passwords, those settings are not used. During your first connection
|
|
|
|
|
to the smtp server, Emacs will prompt for the user name and password,
|
|
|
|
|
and offer to save them to ~/.authinfo. Or you can manually copy the
|
|
|
|
|
credentials to ~/.authinfo. For example, if you had
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials

|
|
|
|
'(("mail.example.org" 25 "jim" "s!cret")))
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
then the equivalent line in ~/.authinfo would be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
machine mail.example.org port 25 login jim password s!cret
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the auth-source manual for more information, e.g. on encrypting
|
|
|
|
|
the credentials file.
|
|
|
|
|

|
*** The variable `smtpmail-starttls-credentials' has been removed.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00

If you had that set, you need to put

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
machine smtp.whatever.foo port 25 key "~/.my_smtp_tls.key" cert "~/.my_smtp_tls.cert"

*** New options controlling prompting for login parameters.
|
2012-02-08 07:54:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Each supported product has a custom variable `sql-*-login-params',
|

which is a list of the parameters to be prompted for before a

*** The command `sql-product-interactive' now takes a prefix argument,

*** Product-specific SQL interactive commands now take prefix arguments.
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
These commands (`sql-sqlite', `sql-postgres', `sql-mysql', etc.),
|
|
|
|
|
given a prefix argument, prompt for a name for the SQL interactive
|
|

|
buffer. This reduces the need for calling `sql-rename-buffer'.
|

*** SQL interactive modes suppress command continuation prompts, and

replace tabs with spaces. The first change impacts multiple line SQL
|
|
|

|
statements entered with C-j between each line, statements yanked into
|
|

|
the buffer and statements sent with `sql-send-*' functions. The
|
2012-02-08 07:54:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
second prevents the MySQL and Postgres interpreters from listing
|
|

was not started by a connection, and saves them as a new connection.

*** Support for pulling on distributed version control systems.
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The command C-x v + (`vc-pull') runs a "pull" operation, if it is
|
|
|
|
|
supported (currently with Bzr, Git, and Mercurial), to update the
|
|
|
|
|
current branch and working tree. A prefix argument means to prompt
|
|
|
|
|
the user for specifics, e.g. a pull location.

|
|
|
The command C-x v m (`vc-merge') now runs a "merge" operation, if it
|
|
|
|
|
is supported (currently with Bzr, Git, and Mercurial), to merge
|
|
|
|
|
changes from another branch into the current one. It prompts for
|
|
|
|

specifics, e.g. a merge source.

|
|
** Occur Edit mode applies edits made in *Occur* buffers to the
|
2011-09-17 21:28:17 +00:00
|
|
|
|
original buffers. It is bound to "e" in Occur mode.

** New global minor mode electric-pair-mode.
|
|
|
|
|
When enabled, typing an open parenthesis automatically inserts the
|
|
|
|
|
matching closing one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
** New global minor mode electric-indent-mode.
|
|
|
|
|
When enabled, typing certain characters triggers reindentation.
|
2012-02-10 02:48:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Major modes wishing to use this can set electric-indent-chars or

electric-indent-functions.
|
2012-02-09 02:40:41 +00:00
|

** New global minor mode electric-layout-mode.
|
|
|
|
|
When enabled, typing certain characters automatically inserts newlines.
|
2012-02-10 02:48:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Major modes wishing to use this can set electric-layout-rules.

|
|
|
|
2010-08-10 13:18:14 +00:00
|
|

** pcase.el provides the ML-style pattern matching macro `pcase'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-03-13 20:33:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** secrets.el is an implementation of the Secret Service API, an
|
|
|
|
|
interface to password managers like GNOME Keyring or KDE Wallet. The
|
2010-05-18 19:43:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Secret Service API requires D-Bus for communication. The command
|
|
|
|
|
`secrets-show-secrets' offers a buffer with a visualization of the
|
|
|
|
|
secrets.

|
** New emacs-lock.el package.
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The previous version has been moved to obsolete/old-emacs-lock.el.
|
|
|
|
|
Now, there is a proper minor mode `emacs-lock-mode'. Protection
|
|
|
|
|
against exiting Emacs and killing the buffer can be set separately.
|
|
|
|
|
The mechanism for automatically turning off protection for buffers
|
|
|
|
|
with dead inferior processes has been generalized.

* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 24.1

2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00

|
|
|
** Passing a nil argument to a minor mode function call now ENABLES
|
|
|
|
|
the minor mode unconditionally. This is so that you can write e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'foo-mode)
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to enable foo-mode in Text mode buffers, removing the need for
|
|
|
|
|
`turn-on-foo-mode' style functions. This affects all mode commands
|
|
|
|
|
defined by `define-minor-mode'. If called interactively, the mode
|
|
|
|
|
command still toggles the minor mode.
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-02-25 09:32:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** The return value of `backup-buffer' has changed.
|
|
|
|
|
It is now a list of three elements, where the second element is a list
|
|
|
|
|
describing the original file's SELinux context. If Emacs or the
|
2012-03-12 22:35:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
system lacks SELinux support, the context list is (nil nil nil nil).
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
See "Basic SELinux support" above, under "Changes in Emacs 24.1".

|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** `char-direction-table' and the `char-direction' function were deleted.
|
|
|
|
|
They were buggy and inferior to the new support of bidirectional
|
|
|
|
|
editing introduced in Emacs 24. If you need the bidirectional
|
|
|
|
|
properties of a character, use `get-char-code-property' with the last
|
|
|
|
|
argument `bidi-class'.

|
|
|
|
|
2011-02-12 19:34:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** `copy-directory' now copies the source directory as a subdirectory
|
|
|
|
|
of the target directory, if the latter is an existing directory. The
|
|
|
|
|
new optional arg COPY-CONTENTS, if non-nil, makes the function copy
|
|
|
|
|
the contents directly into a pre-existing target directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-11-17 02:37:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** For mouse click input events in the text area, the Y pixel
|
|
|
|
|
coordinate in the POSITION list now counts from the top of the text
|
|
|
|
|
area, excluding any header line. Previously, it counted from the top
|
|
|
|
|
of the header line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Support for "old-style" backquotes, obsolete for 10+ years, has
|
|
|
|
|
been further reduced. Now a backquote not followed by a space is
|
|
|
|
|
always treated as a "new-style" backquote. Please remove all
|
|
|
|
|
"old-style" backquotes from your code. If your code uses backquotes
|
|
|
|
|
as documented in the Elisp manual, and compiles without warning, then
|
|
|
|
|
you have nothing to do in this regard. Code not following the
|
|
|
|
|
appropriate conventions may fail to compile.
|
2012-03-05 03:13:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The most common cause of trouble seems to be an old-style backquote
|
|
|
|
|
followed by a newline. Another cause of trouble is vector notation
|
|
|
|
|
for key sequence notation: instead of [(control ,)] and [(control ')],
|
|
|
|
|
you should write [(control ?,)] and [(control ?')], which will work in
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
older Emacsen too.

** The macro `eval-at-startup' was removed in Emacs 23.2, but this

|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00

** `view-buffer' now treats special mode-class in the same way that
|
|
|
|
|
`view-file' has since Emacs 22 (i.e. it won't enable View mode if the
|
|
|

2011-03-19 03:58:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
and `tool-bar-lines' to `default-frame-alist' and `initial-frame-alist'.
|
|
|
|
|
With these alist entries omitted, `make-frame' checks the value of the
|
|
|
|
|
variable `menu-bar-mode'/`tool-bar-mode' to determine whether to create
|
|
|
|
|
a menu-bar or tool-bar, respectively. If the alist entries are added,

they override the value of `menu-bar-mode'/`tool-bar-mode'.

|
similar to those created by shift-selection (see Selection changes

** Code can now use lexical scoping by default instead of dynamic scoping.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The `lexical-binding' variable enables lexical scoping for local
|
2012-01-26 06:30:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
variables. It is typically set via a file-local variable in the first
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
line of the file, in which case it applies to all the code in that
|
|
|
|
|
file.

2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|

*** Lexically scoped interpreted functions are represented with a new form
|
|
|
|
|
of function value which looks like (closure ENV ARGS &rest BODY).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** New macro `letrec' to define recursive local functions.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** `defvar' and `defconst' now mark the variable as special (dynamic).
|
|
|
|
|
So do `defcustom' and other forms that call `defvar' as a subroutine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New function `special-variable-p' to check whether a variable is
|
|
|
|
|
declared as dynamically bound.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-26 03:06:36 +00:00
|
|
|

** An Emacs Lisp testing tool is now included.
|
|
|
|
|
Emacs Lisp developers can use this tool to write automated tests for
|
|
|
|
|
their code. See the ERT info manual for details.

** Changes for bidirectional display and editing
|
2011-08-27 08:36:56 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New function `current-bidi-paragraph-direction'.
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This returns the base direction of the paragraph at point.
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** New function `bidi-string-mark-left-to-right'.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Given a string containing characters from right-to-left scripts, this
|
|
|
|
|
function returns another string which can be safely inserted into a
|
|
|
|
|
buffer, such that any following text will be always displayed to the
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
right of that string. (This works by appending an invisible Unicode
|
|
|
|
|
"LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK" character if the argument string might need it.)
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This is useful when the buffer has overall left-to-right paragraph
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
direction and you need to insert a string whose contents are not known
|
|
|
|
|
in advance, without disrupting the layout of the line.

*** Window tree functions are accessible in Elisp.
|
|
|
|
|
Functions are provided to return the parent, siblings or child windows
|
|
|
|
|
of any window including internal windows (windows not associated with a
|
|
|
|
|
buffer) in the window tree.
|

**** New function `window-valid-p' gives non-nil for live and internal

|
|

|
windows.

|
**** Window manipulation can deal with internal windows.
|
2011-09-23 15:01:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
Many window handling functions like `split-window', `delete-window', or
|
|
|
|
|
`delete-other-windows' as well as the window resizing functions can now
|
|
|
|
|
act on any window including internal ones.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-09-23 15:01:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** window-total-height/-width vs window-body-height/-width.
|
|
|
|
|
The function `window-height' has been renamed to `window-total-height'
|
|
|
|
|
and `window-width' has been renamed to `window-body-width'. The old
|
|
|
|
|
names are provided as aliases. Two new functions `window-total-width'
|
|
|
|
|
and `window-body-height' are provided.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-09-23 15:01:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Window parameters specific to window handling functions.
|
|
|
|
|
For each window you can specify a parameter to override the default
|
|
|
|
|
behavior of a number of functions like `split-window', `delete-window'
|
2011-09-25 15:29:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
and `delete-other-windows'. The variable `ignore-window-parameters'
|
|
|
|
|
allows to ignore processing such parameters.
|

|
|
|
|
|
2011-09-23 15:01:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New semantics of third argument of `split-window'.
|
|
|
|
|
The third argument of `split-window' has been renamed to SIDE and can be
|
|
|
|
|
set to any of the values 'below, 'right, 'above, or 'left to make the
|
|
|
|
|
new window appear on the corresponding side of the window that shall be
|
|
|
|
|
split. Any other value of SIDE will cause `split-window' to split the
|
|
|
|
|
window into two side-by-side windows as before.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|

|
|
2011-09-23 15:01:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Window resizing functions.
|
2011-10-01 23:15:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
A new standard function for resizing windows called `window-resize' has
|
2011-09-23 15:01:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
been introduced. This and all other functions for resizing windows no
|
|
|
|
|
longer delete any windows when they become too small.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-11 09:30:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Deleting the selected window now selects the most recently selected
|
|
|
|
|
live window on that frame instead.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-09-23 15:01:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `adjust-window-trailing-edge' adjustments.
|
|
|
|
|
`adjust-window-trailing-edge' can now deal with fixed-size windows and
|
|
|
|
|
is able to resize other windows if a window adjacent to the trailing
|
|
|
|
|
edge cannot be shrunk any more. This makes its behavior more similar to
|
|
|
|
|
that of Emacs 21 without compromising, however, its inability to delete
|
|
|
|
|
windows which was introduced in Emacs 22.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-09-23 15:01:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Window-local buffer lists.
|
|
|
|
|
Windows now have local buffer lists. This means that removing a buffer
|
|
|
|
|
from display in a window will preferably show the buffer previously
|
|
|
|
|
shown in that window with its previous window-start and window-point
|
|
|
|
|
positions. This also means that the same buffer may be automatically
|
|
|
|
|
shown twice even if it already appears in another window.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-13 22:00:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `switch-to-buffer' has a new optional argument FORCE-SAME-WINDOW,
|
|
|
|
|
which if non-nil requires the buffer to be displayed in the currently
|
|
|
|
|
selected window, signaling an error otherwise. If nil, another window
|
|
|
|
|
can be used, e.g. if the selected one is strongly dedicated.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2011-09-24 18:19:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `split-window-vertically' and `split-window-horizontally' renamed
|
2011-10-30 01:56:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
to `split-window-below' and `split-window-right' respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
The old names are kept as aliases.

*** Display actions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** The second arg to `display-buffer' and `pop-to-buffer' is now
|
|
|
|
|
named ACTION, and takes a display action of the same form as
|
|
|
|
|
`display-buffer-base-action' (see Changes, above). A non-nil,
|
|
|
|
|
non-list value is treated specially, as the old meaning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** New variable `display-buffer-overriding-action'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** The procedure of `display-buffer' etc. to choose a window is
|
|
|
|
|
determined by combining `display-buffer-overriding-action',
|
|
|
|
|
`display-buffer-alist', the ACTION arg, `display-buffer-base-action',
|
|
|
|
|
and `display-buffer-fallback-action'. The second and fourth of these
|
|
|
|
|
are user-customizable variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the docstring of `display-buffer' for details.

*** New variable `completion-extra-properties' used to specify extra
|
|
|
|
|
properties of the current completion:
|
2011-05-24 02:45:50 +00:00
|
|
|
|
- :annotate-function, same as the old completion-annotate-function.
|
|
|
|
|
- :exit-function, function to call after completion took place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|

*** Functions on `completion-at-point-functions' can return any of the
|
|

|
|
properties valid for `completion-extra-properties'.

|
|
|
|
2011-05-31 03:03:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** New `metadata' method for completion tables. The metadata thus returned
|
|
|
|
|
can specify various details of the data returned by `all-completions':
|
|
|
|
|
- `category' is the kind of objects returned (e.g., `buffer', `file', ...),
|
|
|
|
|
used to select a style in completion-category-overrides.
|
|
|
|
|
- `annotation-function' to add annotations in *Completions*.
|
|
|
|
|
- `display-sort-function' to specify how to sort entries in *Completions*.
|
|
|
|
|
- `cycle-sort-function' to specify how to sort entries when cycling.

|
|
|
argument is supplied (see Trash changes, above).

** Tool-bars can display separators.
|
|
|
|
|
Tool-bar separators are handled like menu separators in menu-bar maps,
|
2010-12-20 00:17:26 +00:00
|
|
|
|
i.e. via menu entries of the form `(menu-item "--")'.

** Image API
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-06-07 18:32:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Animated images support (currently animated gifs only).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** `image-animated-p' returns non-nil if an image can be animated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** `image-animate' animates a supplied image spec.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** `image-animate-timer' returns the timer object for an image that
|
|
|
|
|
is being animated.

|
|
|
|
|
2012-02-04 02:11:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `image-extension-data' has been renamed to `image-metadata'.
|
|
|
|
|
The old name is an obsolete alias to the new one.
|
2010-03-31 14:55:01 +00:00

|
2012-02-08 03:45:27 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** Image mode can view any image type that ImageMagick supports.
|
|
|
|
|
This requires Emacs to be built with ImageMagick support.
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** New function `imagemagick-types', defined if ImageMagick support
|
|
|
|
|
is enabled, returns a list of image file extensions that your
|
|
|
|
|
ImageMagick installation supports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** New function `imagemagick-register-types' enables ImageMagick
|
|
|
|
|
image types in Image mode and in `create-image' and other helper
|
|
|
|
|
functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** New option `imagemagick-types-inhibit' excludes certain
|
|
|
|
|
ImageMagick image types from `imagemagick-register-types'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**** With ImageMagick support, there are extra Image mode commands to
|
|
|
|
|
resize and rotate images: `image-transform-fit-to-height',
|
|
|
|
|
`image-transform-fit-to-width', `image-transform-set-rotation', and
|
|
|
|
|
`image-transform-set-scale'.

|
** `compose-mail' now accepts an optional 8th arg, RETURN-ACTION, and
|
|
|
|
|
passes it to the mail user agent function. This argument specifies an
|
|
|
|
|
action for returning to the caller after finishing with the mail. For
|
|
|
|
|
example, this is used by Rmail to optionally delete a mail window.

|
|
|
|
** XML and HTML parsing
|
2012-03-08 05:27:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
If Emacs is compiled with libxml2 support, there are two new
|
|
|
|
|
functions: `libxml-parse-html-region' (which parses "real world" HTML)
|
|
|
|
|
and `libxml-parse-xml-region' (which parses XML). Both return an
|
|
|
|
|
Emacs Lisp parse tree.

|
|
** Networking and encryption changes
|
2011-05-03 00:48:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `open-network-stream' can now be used to open an encrypted stream.
|
|
|
|
|
It now accepts an optional `:type' parameter for initiating a TLS
|
|
|
|
|
connection, directly or via STARTTLS. To do STARTTLS, additional
|
|
|
|
|
parameters (`:end-of-command', `:success', `:capabilities-command')
|
|
|
|
|
must also be supplied.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** New library gnutls.el.
|
2012-04-05 04:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The new function `gnutls-available-p' returns non-nil if Emacs is
|
|
|
|
|
built with GnuTLS support. The main entry points are
|
|
|
|
|
`open-gnutls-stream' and `gnutls-negotiate'. It's easiest to use
|
|
|
|
|
these functions through `open-network-stream', because that can
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
upgrade connections through STARTTLS opportunistically or use plain
|
|
|
|
|
SSL, depending on your needs. For debugging, set `gnutls-log-level'
|
|
|
|
|
greater than 0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** New primitive `secure-hash' that supports many secure hash algorithms:
|
|
|
|
|
md5, sha1, sha2, sha224, sha256, sha384, and sha512. The lisp library
|
|
|
|
|
sha1.el has been removed. The `sha1' feature is provided by default.
|

|
|
|
|
|
2010-05-20 22:16:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Isearch
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** New hook `isearch-update-post-hook' that runs in `isearch-update'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-03-29 23:18:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** Progress reporters can now "spin".
|
|
|
|
|
The MIN-VALUE and MAX-VALUE arguments of `make-progress-reporter' can
|
|
|
|
|
now be nil, or omitted. This makes a "non-numeric" reporter. Each
|
|
|
|
|
time you call `progress-reporter-update' on that progress reporter,
|
|
|
|
|
with a nil or omitted VALUE argument, the reporter message is
|
|
|
|
|
displayed with a "spinning bar".
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-04-06 19:38:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** New variable `revert-buffer-in-progress-p' is true while a buffer is
|
|
|
|
|
being reverted, even if the buffer has a local `revert-buffer-function'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-02-09 06:02:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** New variables `delayed-warnings-list' and `delayed-warnings-hook'.
|
|
|
|
|
If delayed-warnings-list is non-nil, the command loop calls
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
`delayed-warnings-hook' after `post-command-hook'. At present, this
|
|
|
|
|
is only used by Emacs on some platforms to display warnings during
|
|
|
|
|
startup, which might otherwise not be noticed. This uses the
|
|
|
|
|
functions `display-delayed-warnings' and `collapse-delayed-warnings'.
|

|
|
|
|
|
2011-06-18 21:12:33 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** rx.el has a new `group-n' construct for explicitly numbered groups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-02-06 03:20:11 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** New function `make-composed-keymap' that constructs a new keymap
|
|
|
|
|
from multiple input maps. You can use this to make a keymap that
|
|
|
|
|
inherits from multiple maps, eg:
|
|
|
|
|
(set-keymap-parent newmap (make-composed-keymap othermap parent))
|
2011-07-28 20:23:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-03-22 06:21:28 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** New function `string-prefix-p'.
|
|
|
|
|
(This was actually added in Emacs 23.2 but was not advertised at the time.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-02-05 03:31:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** New reader macro ## that stands for the empty symbol.
|
2011-07-28 20:23:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
This means that the empty symbol can now be read back. Also, #: by itself
|
|
|
|
|
(when not immediately followed by a possible symbol character) stands for
|
|
|
|
|
an empty uninterned symbol.
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2012-01-21 16:04:55 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** New math functions `isnan', `copysign', `frexp', `ldexp'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-03 10:16:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
** The following functions and variables are obsolete:

|
|
|
|
|
2012-02-04 01:01:23 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** `tooltip-use-echo-area' is obsolete.
|
|
|
|
|
Rather than setting this to t, disable Tooltip mode instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-08-26 19:10:19 +00:00
|
|
|
|
*** buffer-substring-filters is obsolete.
|
|
|
|
|
Use `filter-buffer-substring-functions' instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** `byte-compile-disable-print-circle' is obsolete.
|
|

|
2012-02-04 21:18:46 +00:00

Use `post-command-hook' instead.
|
|
|

2011-10-17 22:21:48 +00:00
|
|
|

*** `font-lock-maximum-size' is obsolete.
