Changes since B0.99-16
0. Many internal organizational changes and cleanups to provide UTF-8
support and S-Lang 2 compatibility.
1. lib/f90.sl: keywords for free-format mode were not working.
(joukj at hrem.stm.tudelft.nl).
2. src/dfasyntax.c: For DCL mode, /4096 was not highlighted as a
number--- only the "096" portion was highlighted.
3. src/ledit.c: when killing the scratch buffer, take care of its
subprocesses as well.
4. lib/cal.sl: Eliminated "for" loop in favor of "where".
5. src/xkeys.c: Pressing Shift-Tab in Xjed will generate "\e[Z".
6. lib/modehook.sl: Avoid potential security risk by alerting the user
about a file's mode statement. This behavior may be controlled
through the use of the Enable_Mode_Hook_Eval variable.
7. src/misc.c: read_from_minibuffer was not working in non-interactive
mode.
8. src/jprocess.c:get_process_status: indexing problem involving the
process id resolved (sdupont@oryx.de)
9. lib/emacsmsc.sl: added string_rectangle function with keybinding
^XRt.
10. src/indent.c: The what_syntax_table intrinsic was always returning
"DEFAULT".
11. lib/site.sl,etc: Added some patches from Paul Boekholt <p.boekholt
at hetnet.nl>: The help function supports an optional argument
(site.sl), compress.sl had a missing (), register.sl was missing a
call to "newline".
12. src/file.c: If a file "foo" was saved to another file "bar", then
"bar" was being improperly flagged as changing on the disk.
13. lib/keydefs.sl: Key_Ctrl_BS value changed (Guido Gonzato).
14. src/file.c: make jed_expand_link expand all pathname components
15. lib/misc.sl: arguments to is_substr swapped in the glob_to_regexp
function. Also the directory function was not handling invalid
directories. Klaus Schmid <klaus.schmid at kdt.de>.
16. src/ledit.c: if Batch or Script mode, do not echo the number of
lines read.
17. src/text.c: Ignore leading whitespace when attempting to wrap a
line. Joerg Sommer (joerg at alea, gnuu, de).
18. src/text.c: improved backward_paragraph function (Paul Boekholt
<p.boekholt at hetnet, nl>)
19. src/*.c: Added support for the display of line numbers based upon
a patch submitted by Robert Lillack (rob at lillack, de). Use the
toggle_line_number_mode or the set_line_number_mode functions to
utilize this feature. The color of this may be controlled using
the "linenum" object.
20. src/hooks.c: A possible NULL pointer dereference was fixed and the
JED_RUN_HOOKS* constants were exported to the interpreter (Josh
Guilfoyle (jasta at gotlinux, org))
21. lib/php.sl: strcat used instead of binary plus for combining
strings in the keyword definition lists.
22. lib/emacs.sl: Binding to ^K (yp_kill_line) tweaked to improve
emulation in presence of a universal argument.
22. lib/syntax.c: Better support for syntax highlighting of multiline
SGML/HTML constructs.
23. src/intrin.c: get_keymaps intrinsic added
24. lib/site.sl: call_function added as a generic alternative to
runhooks. This was added because someday runhooks may perform
additional tasks.
25. A few more color schemes have been added with updates.
26. src/intrin.c: what_mode may take an optional buffer argument.
27. lib/misc.sl: glob_to_regexp made public
28. lib/misc.sl: list_directory added.
29. lib/modeinfo.sl: mode_set_mode_info expanded to allow the creation
of new fields.
30. lib/dabbrev.sl: integrated the version from the jed modes
repository because of its many good ideas and capabilities.
31. src/screen.c: %S in the window status line format will cause the
S-Lang stack depth to be displayed. (from Dino via paul at
boekholt, com).
32. lib/isolatin.sl: The reverse (spanish) question mark removed from
the word_chars. Günter Milde (milde at ife, et, tu-dresden, de)
33. lib/cmode.sl: C_Namespace_Offset added (Marc Butler marc_in_usa at
yahoo, com)
32. src/screen.c: Trailing whitespace may now be highlighted using the
"trailing_whitespace" color. To enable it, put
Highlight_Trailing_Whitespace = 1;
in your jedrc file. (This and similar ideas have been suggested
by a number of people-- some even submitted code).
33. lib/paste.sl, lib/gpg.sl: "paste" is a useful function for "pasting"
into jed running in an xterm. gpg.sl implements an experimental
interface to gpg.
34. src/ledit.c: If system supports dynamic linking via dlopen, then
enable support for importable modules.
35. lib/cua.sl+cuamisc.sl: Updated versions from sourceforge. I split
a few of the functions out for general use: next_buffer,
toggle_case_search, save_buffer_as
36. src/: Like TAB, the value of CASE_SEARCH is now local to a buffer.
Newly created buffers are initialized with the value of
CASE_SEARCH_DEFAULT.
37. lib/vhdlmode.sl: Updated by Thei Wijnen
-------- snapshot B0.99.17-37 released -------
38. lib/modeinfo.sl: The mode_name argument of mode_set_mode_info is
now optional. If not present, the function will use the current
mode.
39. lib/isearch.sl: Kris Arndt (kris at polygosis, com) noticed that
CASE_SEARCH was not being preserved by the "perform_search"
function.
40. lib/site.sl: The "." has been removed from the jed search path.
41. src/buffer.c: New buffer hooks:
format_paragraph_hook, mark_paragraph_hook,
backward_paragraph_hook, forward_paragraph_hook, color_region_hook
42. lib/colors: New stock color objects: url, bold, underline, italic.
Also Mark Olesen contributed black4.sl.
43. src/indent.c: New intrinsics: get/set_line_color may be used to
get or set the color of the current line.
44. lib/mailedit.sl: A new mail editing mode.
45. lib/lua.sl: Contributed by Reuben Thomas
46. lib/mailutils.sl: contains some reusable code for dealing with
mail headers. mailalias.sl changed to use it.
47. src/unix.c,file.c: Added patch from gutojm at gmail, com to
preserve setuid bit when writing files.
48. lib/srchmisc.sl: (replace_with_query) After replacing a
zero-length pattern, move right to avoid replacing the _same_ 0
length pattern again. The solves the problem reported involving
the replacement of the regexp $-assertion.
49. lib/isearch.sl: Patches from Lloyd Zusman and Paul Boekholt to
implement a wrap-around search.
-------- snapshot B0.99.17-49 released -------
50. lib/isearch.sl: the get_bound_key function now loops over all
key-squences instead of just trying the first.
51. lib/site.sl: enable_dfa_syntax_for_mode was not calling
mode_set_mode_info in a variable-arguments compliant manner.
52. src/file.c: Trying to read /a/b/../c.dat was failing if when b was
a sym-link to /d/b. In this case, jed was trying to read /a/c.dat
instead of /d/c.dat.
53. src/Makefile.in: Add the appropriate linker options to LDFLAGS to
enable global symbols to be exported. Otherwise, importing a
module could fail.
54. src/search.c: re_bsearch("^\n") was failing. Several of the
routines pertaining to regular expressions in this file were
rewritten to correct other problems that were reported.
55. The completion buffer size specification was moved into
jedlimits.h and increased. Eventually I will rewrite the routine
to remove the arbitrary size restriction.
56. src/screen.c: If run in UTF-8 mode, a "U" will appear next to the
version number on the status line.
-------- snapshot B0.99.17-56 released -------
57. src/search.c: regexp_nth_match was failing after some backward
searches.
58. configure: Add --with-slang to configure script
59. lib/site.sl: autoloads of abbrev functions made conditional with
support for the abbrev feature. (Paul Boekholt)
60. src/search.c: The search_file function was returning at most one
match (Paul Boekholt).
61. src/vmshelp.c: Patch to enable this to compile on OpenVMS (Jacob
Jansen).
62. lib/man.sl: Remove any ANSI SGR sequences from the man pages.
63. src/cmds.c: Used byte-insertion routines instead of wchar ones.
64. src/vterm.c: If writing n characters, do not memset more than that.
(SANGOI DINO (SANGOID at lloydadriatico, it))
65. lib/site.sl: DOS/Windows: If JED_HOME and HOME are NULL, trying
using USERPROFILE as the location for jed.rc. If that fails, fall
back on C:\, not the CWD as _was_ the case. (SANGOI DINO
(SANGOID at lloydadriatico, it))
66. lib/cua.sl: Use delete_char_cmd instead of delete_cmd (SANGOID
DINO).
67. src/indent.c:parse_to_point: Made comment parsing first before
strings, etc. This change fixes the problem with multiline
comments in html mode.
68. src/main.c: Win32 patch for setting JED_ROOT based upon the
location of the executable (SANGOID DINO).
69. src/vterm.c: New function: vterm_write_nbytes. Currently this
function is commented out but may be useful when UTF-8 support is
added to wjed and xjed. (Marko Mahnic marko,mahnic at email,si)
70. src/vterm.c:vterm_write_nchars: This function was using a signed
char instead of an unsigned char. This caused the problem reported
by Romano Giannetti.
-------- snapshot B0.99.17-70 released -------
71. src/*.c: Changed names of references to _SL* to _pSL* for slang2
compliance. (SANGOID DINO)
72. src/mkfiles/makefile.all: Add TOOL_PREFIX variable to support
cross-compilation.
73. src/xterm.c: Alt-something was causing a SEGV.
74. src/buffer.c: Use inode info as an aid for dealing with symlinks
and hardlinks.
75. src/search.c: Query-replace "^" with anything was not working
properly in the slang2 version.
76. src/win32.c...: patches to support slang2 dll (Sangoid Dino).
77. src/sysdep.c: If running in Unicode mode, the value of the DEC_8BIT_HACK
variable will be ignored.
78. src/screen.c: If compiled against slang2, the SLsmg functions will
be used to compute the displayable width of a byte-sequence.
79. src/sig.c: Allow Xjed to be suspended from the shell prompt.
80. src/screen.c: (slang2-only): If the buffer flag has bit 12 set
(via, e.g., _toggle_buffer_flag (0x1000)) then escape sequences of
the form ESC [ x ], where x is an integer will cause the text following
it to be rendered using the color associated with x. For example,
"\e[31]hello\e[]" will cause "hello" to be rendered using color
object 31. This is an experimental feature. The underlying code
supports both 'm' and ']' as the end of escape sequence indicator.
However, ']' works better in parenthesis-matching situations.
-------- snapshot B0.99.17-80 released -------
81. src/main.c: Batch mode was resulting in a SEGV.
82. lib/aboutjed.sl,lib/cpright.sl: Updated info
-------- snapshot B0.99.17-82 released -------
83. src/xterm.c: if (Batch) should have been if (!Batch)
<Jacob (=Jouk) Jansen (joukj at hrem, stm, tudelft, nl)>
84. src/display.c: SLtt_Blink_Mode set to 0
85. lib/occur.sl: Zero length regular expressions were causing an
infinite loop. (Paul Boekholt, p, boekholt at hetnet, nl)
86. src/main.c: If the environment variable JED_UTF8 exists and is set
to FORCE, then jed will "force" the video driver/terminal into
UTF-8 mode. This can be useful on systems that have no UTF-8
support in the locale.
87. src/screen.c: Fixed a problem associated with the display of line
numbers on the status line.
88. src/main.c: "jed --script FILE" was searching for FILE along jed's
load path instead of relative to the current directory.
89. src/wterm.c:msw_get_terminfo: if (!Batch) changed to if (Batch).
(Dino Sangoid).
90. src/mkfiles/makefile.all: Added support for linking to the slang
dll (Dino Sangoid)
91. src/file.c, buffer.c: Two small memory leaks found and corrected
by Dino Sangoid.
92. lib/gpg.sl: Make sure the autosave file is encrypted.
(Paul Boekholt p, boekholt at hetnet, nl)
93. src/keymap.c: If an error happens when performing a key sequence,
make sure that the error message is displayed.
94. src/misc.c: Make sure read_from_minibuffer preserves the current
buffer and not the buffer attached to the current window. Most of
the time they are the same.
95. lib/gpg.sl: Use cached passprases for autosave files. (Paul
Boekholt, Lloyd Zusman)
-------- snapshot B0.99.17-95 released -------
96. lib/site.sl: removed define_word statement since it was just a
repetition of what is in main.c.
97. src/main.c: In unicode mode, use the "\w" character class for
word characters.
98. src/indent.c: Make sure first line of the buffer has its syntax
bits set to 0.
99. lib/site.sl: filenames of the form *.hh default to c-mode.
100. lib/*.sl: changed static declarations to private ones.
101. doc/txt/hooks.sl: Added documentation on the
before/after_key_hooks.
102. lib/dabbrev.sl, lib/wmark.sl: Make sure the before_key_hooks can
handle Ref_Type objects.
103. src/misc.c: If an error occurs while in the mini-buffer, make
sure the error is seen.
104. src/keymap.c: Performed some rearranging of the code to isolate
the keymap intrinsics to this file.
105. src/keymap.c: Added support for the use of Ref_Type objects to
the keymap commands. This feature is enabled only if linked to
slang 2.0.3 and greater.
106. src/xterm.c: Modified the way the selection gets inserted. Now
the entire selection gets read before the insertion. Before it
was being inserted while being read. This avoids a recursive
call that was causing a SegV.
107. src/buffer.c: Tweaked the output message of the count_chars
function when the current character is invalid UTF-8.
108. src/rgrep.c: Upgraded to slang-2.
109. src/Makefile.in: $JED_ROOT/lib/tm no longer created.
110. lib/html.sl: Add a call to no_mode before initializing html mode.
This ensures that any buffer_hooks are reset.
111. lib/site.sl: The JED_CONF_DIR environment variable may be used
to specify the directory where jed.conf may be loaded.
Otherwise, the installation prefix is used to determine its
location.
-------- snapshot B0.99.17-111 released -------
112. src/abbrev.c:what_abbrev_table: if the global abbrev table has
not been defined, then return "" as the table name insted of
"Global". This corrects a bug reported by Joerg Sommer
joerg at alea, gnuu, de.
113. lib/isearch.sl: Moved setting of IGNORE_USER_ABORT closer to the
call to getkey to localize its effects. This is in response to
an (unreproducable) infinite loop that was reported in the
isearch function involving a non-zero value of IGNORE_USER_ABORT.
114. src/userinfo.c: If hostname is given as "", use "localhost".
115. lib/site.sl: Code that processed jed.conf was not always picking
it up.
116. src/buffer.h: jed_looking_at (looking_at intrinsic) was failing
to work in the presence of invalid UTF-8 encoded sequences.
117. lib/pushmode.sl: Added calls to no_mode to reset the state for the
new mode.
118. src/screen.c:update_minibuffer: Make sure screen attributes are
updated before calling display_line.
119. src/ledit.c: Use fputs instead of fprintf for traceback messages
when in batch mode.
120. src/sysdep.c: Rewrote the filename expansion routines to fix the
// filename problem reported on the jed-users list.
121. lib/folding.sl: Disabled mouse double-clicking to enter/leave
folds.
122. src/intrin.c: The getbuf_info function updates the
file-changed-on-disk flag before returning.
123. src/buffer.c: If a buffer has the file-changed-on-disk flag set,
then setbuf_info will reset the buffer's ctime field if the flag
is reset.
124. lib/paste.sl: Use insert_byte instead of insert_char. Otherwise
UTF-8 sequences will not get properly inserted.
125. src/xterm.c: Integrated Dino's UTF-8 patches into Xjed.
126. src/xterm.c: Rewrote much of the selection code. Hopefully users
will see better cut/paste interactions between Xjed and other X
apps.
127. src/buffer.c: The `delete_buffer` function now calls
`buffer_exists` to ensure that the buffer to be deleted actually
exists.
128. autoconf/config.[guess|sub]: Updated to 2005 versions.
129. Misc debian patches added: doc/manual/jed.1 updated; python_mode
TAB value made contingent up Py_Indent_Level.
130. src/Makefile.in,jed-feat.h: Removed XJED_HAS_XRENDERFONT variable
from jed-feat.h and put it in Makefile.in. Also introduced an
XRENDERFONT_CFLAGS variable to the makefile. Eventually a
configure script solution will be used as suggested by Dino
Sangoid.
131. lib/cmode.sl: Added Marko Mahnic's (marko,mahnic at email, si)
patch enabling the user to put an upper limit on the indentation
of function arg continuation lines.
132. src/jprocess.c: Do not use ptys on OS X (Marcus Crafter / crafterm
at gmail, com)
133. src/wterm.c: Added UTF-8 support (Dino Sangoid).
134. src/os.sl: Enable "import" for win32 systems (Dino Sangoid).
135. src/xterm.c: Added support for UXjed resource names to be used
in UTF-8 mode, e.g.,
UXjed*font: -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO10646-1
{{{ Previous Versions
Changes since B0.99-15 {{{
1. lib/edt.sl: Hard-coded escape sequences \e= and \e> were swapped.
This affected the use of the application keypad on systems that did
not have terminfo entries specifying these strings.
2. src/file.c: if write failed, report errno and num failed bytes.
3. src/screen.c: Unlock buffer files when exiting as a result of a
fatal error.
4. lib/cmode.sl: c_indent_line would auto-insert // even when
configured not to do so by the user.
5. lib/site.sl: Collapse multiple occurances of / characters in
filenames that appear on the command line.
6. src/ledit.c: If a file to be loaded really a directory, then skip it.
(SANGOID@lloydadriatico.it)
7. src/*.c: use _SLvsnprintf instead of vprintf to
avoid buffer overflows. Also use safe_strcpy instead of strcpy.
8. src/sysdep.c: tweak to expand_filename to deal with very large
filenames (much larger than OS permits).
9. lib/compress.sl: avoid using a regexp to get extname.
10. src/pty.c: tweaked for compiling with CYGWIN--- Requires slang
1.4.5 if you intend to build a cygwin version.
11. src/main.c: If jed-script is symlinked to jed, then the result is
equivalent to running jed with the -script option. This is useful
for using jed in an executable script, e.g.,
#!/usr/bin/env jed-script
vmessage ("Script name: %s", __argv[0]);
quit_jed ();
Also, if the script defines a function called "jedscript_main",
then that function will get called after the file is loaded.
12. doc/rtl/keys.tm: get_key_binding documentation corrected by
Guenter Milde <G.Milde@physik.tu-dresden.de>.
13. lib/filter.sl: filter_region function was not working.
14. src/menu.c: New function: menu_select_menu. This enables a menu
item to be executed from a function call, e.g.,
menu_select_menu ("Global.W&indows.&Color Schemes");
will popup the color-schemes menu.
15. src/ledit.c: bug-fix involving loading files such as xxx-1.0.sl
when loaded as ()=evalfile("xxx-1.0").
16. src/colors.c: new intrinsics: get_color, add_color_object. The
idea behind these was conceived by Francesc Rocher. A
"custom_color" function analogous to "custom_variable" was also
added.
17. src/wterm.c: patch from Paul Shirley <paul.shirley@ntlworld.com>
to have ALT keys return scancodes instead of win32 virtual keycodes.
18. doc/tm/rtl/*.tm: Fixed synopsis lines and various other
documentation improvments (Guenter Milde <G.Milde@physik.tu-dresden.de>)
19. src/indent.c: New intrinsic: what_syntax_table returns the name of
the current syntax table.
20. src/unix.c: fixed a problem in the filename expansion routines
that affects older systems that do not have glob.h.
21. lib/site.sl: If Tab_Always_Insert_Tabs is non-zero, the pressing
the tab key will cause a tab to be inserted. The default value is
0.
22. When objects (files or buffers) are loaded, they are given the
full path name. This means that the slang pseudo-variable
__FILE__ will expand to the full pathname of the file being loaded.
23. lib/cmode.sl: treat formfeeds like whitespace
24. lib/comments.sl: Add support for java comments (Nathan Smith
<nsmith@cs.ohiou.edu>)
25. lib/os.sl: x_*_selection functions aliased to x_*_cutbuffer if
undefined. This permitted #ifdefs to be removed from lib/mouse.sl
to avoid problems with mouse.sl byte-compiled with jed but used
with xjed.
26. src/xterm.c: Handle selection events while waiting for keyboard
input. This allows, e.g., x_insert_selection to be bound to a key.
27. src/indent.c: Added support for a second string character to the
syntax tables. This improves the highlighting of, e.g., python
code which uses two string characters.
28. lib/pymode.sl: minor cleanups.
29. src/wterm.c, w32cons.c: make NumLock return ESC O P when
NUMLOCK_IS_GOLD is set. Hopefully EDT emulation will now work
properly on win32 systems.
30. src/menu.c: Ctrl-G causes abortion of menu mode.
31. src/wterm.c: drag/drop functionality for wjed
("John Skilleter" <john@skilleter.org.uk>)
32. lib/html.sl: updated to support euro, etc.
(Kees Serier <Kees.Serier@ordina.nl>)
33. src/win32.c:w32_pclose: add a work-around to what may be a Borland
compiler bug. ("John Skilleter" <john@skilleter.org.uk>)
34. src/xterm.c: internal border width of the of xjed window is now
configurable via -ib xjed option (Jim Clifton <clifton@brandeis.edu>)
35. lib/krconv.sl: respect the value of C_BRA_NEWLINE
(Ulrich Bernert <bernert@planet.de>)
36. src/buffer.c,ledit.c: If a file is read through a symbolic link,
set the name of the buffer to the name of the symlink and not the
actual file. This is allows e.g., foo.c --> /dev/c/0013
to be interpreted as a C file.
37. src/win32.c: differentiate between (shift|alt|ctrl)-backspace
(John Skilleter <john@skilleter.org.uk>)
38. src/cmisc.sl: Make c_end_of_function symmetric with
c_top_of_function. (Reuben Thomas <rrt@dcs.gla.ac.uk>)
39. src/wterm.c: fix problem with calculation of font-height for wjed.
Also added new intrinsic for setting the font: w32_select_font
(John Skilleter)
40. New internal hooks added: _jed_before_key_hooks, _jed_after_key_hooks
41. lib/wmark.sl: rewritten to use _jed_before/after_key hooks. The
result is that one is now able to use the regions with menu and
minibuffer commands.
42. lib/popups.sl: Edit menu enhanced with more region functions.
Register functions moved to region functions popup.
43. src/menu.c: disabled access to the menus from the minibuffer
44. lib/cmode.sl: added mode-specific menu entries to list all
functions and macros defined by the file. This affects C mode and
SLang mode.
45. New intrinsics: exit, _exit. These are useful in jed scripts to
return an exit value to the shell. exit is like exit_jed and
_exit is like quit_jed except an argument is required.
46. lib/tmmode.sl: This file implements the tm_mode for editing
text-macro files. In addition, the text-macro processing code
(textmac.sl) was removed from the jed distribution as well as
lib/tm/*. Instead, the text-macro processing code and macros will
be made available as a separate package.
47. src/sig.c: Changed the way SIGHUP and SIGTERM are handled to avoid
a possible race condition.
48. lib/latex.sl,ltx-math.sl: If another tex file was loaded while
latex math mode was active, then latex_math_mode would cease to
work in the first buffer. This has been fixed.
49. lib/perl.sl: Updated to Mark Olesen's latest version. See
lib/perl.sl for details.
50. lib/sccs.sl: New file supporting SCCS revision control (Philip
Brown).
51. src/intrin.c: New intrinsic function: run_program. This plays the
same role as the "system" function except jed resets the display
first, if run in a terminal. For X, it runs the specified program
in another xterm, or the terminal set by the XTerm_Pgm variable.
*** Note: This function needs to be fixed to work asynchronously
on win32. Any volunteers??
52. src/xterm.c: Added Charl Botha's XRENDER patch to Xjed.
53. lib/ide.sl: Remove references to ide_function_help (Guido Gonzato).
54. lib/site.sl: save_buffer was not calling read_file_from_mini
without a prompt string <klaus.schmid at kdt.de>
55. doc/tm/*.tm: removed docs for obsolete functions <klaus.schmid at kdt.de>
56. lib/mouse.sl: wheel mouse was not ignoring hidden lines
<klaus.schmid at kdt.de>
57. lib/f90.sl: Merged fix and free formats into the same file. In
addition to f90_mode, there is now f90_fixed_format_mode and
f90_free_format_mode. The default format for f90_mode is "free",
which may be set via the F90_Default_Format variable.
58. lib/registers.sl: rewritten to allow registers to be given
meaningful names by the user. Also, fixed limit of 95 registers
removed.
59. lib/folding.sl: Fixed endless loop during a call to
fold_whole_buffer when a fold-start mark is at the end of the
buffer. Several other tweaks aimed at preserving the current
position when closing folds (klaus.schmid at kdt.de)
60. lib/edt.sl: multiple definition of exit corrected
(joukj at hrem.stm.tudelft.nl (Jacob (=Jouk) Jansen))

23. Warn user if an attempt is made to modify a buffer whose file is
read-only.
24. lib/site.sl: new variable: Jed_Home_Directory.
25. _jed_startup_hooks added. These hooks are called prior to going
into editor's main loop. This replaces jed_startup_hook.
26. Menu_Load_Popups_Hook variable replaced by the "load_popup_hooks"
chain. Instead of using:
variable Menu_Load_Popups_Hook = &some_function;

36. Keyboard macros were stopped if a slang function triggered an
error that was subsequently cleared via an ERROR_BLOCK. Now, such
macros will continue to execute.
37. lib/mouse.sl: new variable: Mouse_Wheel_Scroll_Lines. This
variable may be used to customize the number of lines that are
scrolled when using the wheel. (Default is 3).

40. lib/os.sl: wjed.exe can now use jed's text menus instead of the
native GUI menus. At the moment, the text menus are far more
functional than the native menus. Uncomment the appropriate line

}}}
Changes since B0.99-12 {{{
0. Important Notes:
a) If you are not using set_color_scheme to set colors, you may find
that your color settings will not work. Now, if the user does not
call set_color_scheme, it will automatically be called with
_Jed_Default_Color_Scheme. If you do not want this feature, set
_Jed_Default_Color_Scheme to NULL after setting your colors.
b) All keybindings prefixed with ^C were removed from lib/*.sl and
replaced by calls to functions such as definekey_reserved. The
idea is that each emulation (emacs, ide, etc), is to reserve
prefix key that may be used by various modes for binding. As an
example, folding.sl used to contain lines such as:
local_setkey ("fold_whole_buffer", "^C^W");
This made this mode and others fundamentally at odds with
emulations that use ^C for something else, e.g. the ide emulation.
Now, lines such as the above have been changed to:
local_setkey_reserved ("fold_whole_buffer", "^W");
Of course the emacs emulation preserves the ^C key for extension
in this way, which means that the two lines are equivalent.
The interface to this ``reserved'' key prefix includes the
following functions:
setkey_reserved
unsetkey_reserved
local_setkey_reserved
local_unsetkey_reserved
definekey_reserved
undefinekey_reserved
and have the same calling syntax as similar functions without the
reserved suffix. The variable specifying the reserved key prefix
is called _Reserved_Key_Prefix, whose value will depend upon the
emulation:
emacs: ^C
ide: ^Z
1. src/VMSMAKE.COM: typo corrected (joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.nl).
2. lib/textmac.sl: del(2) --> deln(2) (affects processing of {})

a switch statement.
4. cua.sl added to the distribution.
5. provide/require functions added.
6. If ^G pressed in mini-buffer, make sure mode-dependent menubar is
restored.
7. Avoid file-changed-on-disk problems associated with a failed write
to disk.
8. src/file.c: VMS specific problem writing to a new file on OpenVMS
fixed by joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.nl.
9. src/ledit.c: Regard a library file beginning with ../ as relative to the
current dir. That is, `jed -l ../file.sl' will load the obvious
one.
10. Signal an error if the insert intrinsic fails.
12. lib/pymode.sl: small patch from jimbag@kw.igs.net to close the
output window if it is empty.
13. src/main.c: If unable to get the current working directory upon
startup, chdir to / and assume that (Pascal Haakmat
<a.haakmat@chello.nl>).
14. DECCMAKE.COM removed from the distribution--- it is not needed.
15. Color_Scheme_Path variable added. This is a comma-separated list
of directories to search for color schemes.
16. lib/info.sl: subtle bug fix involving search for split files
17. doc/txt/slangfun.txt dropped from the distribution since it is
distributed with slang.

patches for EDT emulation.
30. If Xjed cannot open the display, it will revert to jed and use the
terminal. (Thomas J. Moore <dark@mama.indstate.edu>).
31. Updated perl.sl from Mark Olesen <molesen@zeunastaerker.de>.
32. lib/shell.sl: do_shell_cmd now accepts an optional argument (G. Milde

36. src/wterm.c: Recognize Shift-TAB (Paul Shirley
<paul.shirley@ntlworld.com>).
37. lib/minued.sl, lib/history.sl updated by Francesc Rocher.
38. New function: c_set_style: this may be used to set the C
indentation style to one of several popular styles, e.g., "GNU",
"k&r", "BSD", "linux", and of course "jed".
39. src/unix.c: filename completion now supports globbing on Unix
systems, e.g., completion on *.c returns files that end in *.c.
(Olly Betts <olly@survex.com>)
40. If a mode cannot be found for a filename extension 'ext', but
'ext_mode' exists as a function, then use it.
41. Support for DFA syntax highlighting enabled by default. The names
of the DFA-specific intrinsic functions have been prefixed by
"dfa_". Now the user can turn on/off dfa syntax highlighting for
any mode via any of the new functions:
use_dfa_syntax
disable_dfa_syntax_for_mode
enable_dfa_syntax_for_mode
Finally two new variables control the search for DFA cache files:
Jed_Highlight_Cache_Dir
Jed_Highlight_Cache_Path
42. Unix: /etc/jed.conf or /usr/local/etc/jed.conf may be used in
place of $JED_ROOT/lib/defaults.sl --- See INSTALL.

0. Important backward-incompatible changes:
a. Compiler interface simplified. New functions include:
compile_select_compiler
compile_add_compiler
The variables `compile_parse_error_function' and
`compile_parse_regexp' are nolonger used. Use
Compile_Default_Compiler instead. The default is "gcc".
See doc/compile.txt for more information.
b. slang version 1.3.11, or later is required. If you have not
already done so, then it is a good idea to upgrade to 1.4.1.
c. get_key_function replaced by get_key_binding, which is more
versatile.
1. TeX/LaTeX modes: Automatic conversion of ... to \dots
suppressed in verbatum environments.
2. xjed: --debug-xjed command line argument added. Currently,
this does very little but may prove useful.
3. lib/chglog.sl added. This gives jed the ability to maintain
ChangeLog files. The default binding for the
`changelog_add_entry' function is "^X4a" (for consistency with
emacs).
3. lib/rcs.sl modified.
4. Several lib/*.sl files were modified to use high-level
functions to set buffer flags instead of setting them directly.
5. New intrinsics:
set_username (String_Type);
set_realname (String_Type);
set_hostname (String_Type);
String_Type get_username ();
String_Type get_realname ();
String_Type get_hostname ();

set_emailaddress (String_Type);
get_emailaddress (String_Type);
6. Emacs-style file locking added (see doc/filelock.txt).

mode hook.
11. To implement 10, calls to `runhooks' in mode-setting functions
were replaced by run_mode_hooks.
12. jed --version displays compile-time features.
13. `insert' intrinsic can now insert binary strings (those with \0).
14. If an expansion for an abbreviation ends in \010, then the
expansion will be performed but the character causing the
expansion will not be inserted. In addition to this feature,
arbitrary limits were removed from src/abbrev.c
15. Directory name that shell command will run in is displayed as
part of the shell command prompt.
16. pymode.sl updated to v1.3.
17. On command line, files such as a//b/c are replaced by a/b/c.
18. Avoid infinite loop when using query_replace_match to replace ^$
with nothing.
19. If using slang 1.4.1+ use strreplace in str_replace_all.
20. matlab.sl: matlab_mode function was accessing $1 variable.
21. Two eol-type comment styles now supported. For example,
matlab_mode defines both `#' and `%' as comments. It should
now be possible to have comments such as `REM', which should be
familiar to BASIC programmers.
22. src/pty.c: Allow an ioctl to silently fail if `ttcompat' does
not exist as a stream module. (Diego Roversi
<diegor@tiscalinet.it>)
23. lib/cmode.sl: C_Class_Offset variable added to allow the
specification of indentation withing a class definition.

<James@Telfer.com>.
35. Bug in re_search_forward fixed involving non-RE search pattern.
36. iso2xxx.sl: replace strncat by strcat.
37. setbuf_info: If this is used to rename a buffer to one that
already exists, then a unique name will be generated (e.g., xxx
-> xxx<1>).
38. New hooks facility that allows one to attach hooks to the
following internal hook lists:
_jed_append_region_hooks
_jed_exit_hooks
_jed_find_file_after_hooks
_jed_find_file_before_hooks
_jed_init_display_hooks
_jed_insert_file_hooks
_jed_quit_hooks

_jed_resume_hooks
_jed_save_buffer_after_hooks
_jed_save_buffer_before_hooks
_jed_set_mode_hooks
_jed_suspend_hooks
_jed_write_region_hooks
See doc/hooks.txt--- especially if you have created
(non-mode related) hooks.
39. lib/compress.sl: This implements a new function called
`auto_compression_mode' that uses the new hooks facility to
automatically compress/decompress files.
40. Additional slang intrinsics made available to the editor:
stdio, posix_io, and ospath.
41. custom_variable function added to site.sl. This function is
due to Francesc Rocher <rocher@golem.udg.es>.
42. Patches from Jim Knoble <jmknoble@pobox.com>:
Xjed: set group_leader WM hint and WM_COMMAND property.
Add drag threshold for ButtonPress/Release events
menu.c: Add menu_selection_char color for additional control
of menu items.
43. Patches from John Skilleter <skilleter@btinternet.com>:
win32:
Allow command line arguments with spaces by removing
quote characters.
Attach Drive letter to filenames without one.
Extra control over status line:
* %O - Overwrite/Insert flag - like %o, but shows INS/OVR
* %l - Line number - shows current line number
* %L - max line nmber - shows number of lines in the file
44. Added history.sl and minued.sl from Francesc Rocher
<rocher@golem.udg.es>. history.sl uses _jed_exit_hooks to
save/recall minibuffer history. See lib/history.sl for more
information.
45. Xjed: Cut/paste fixed to work with programs that do not support
COMPOUND_TEXT selections (gnome, kde, ...).
46. The maximum length of a keyword has been increased to 48
characters. In a later release, the limit will be removed.
47. If C_Autoinsert_CPP_Comments is non-zero, and if a line starts
with // style comments, newline_and_indent will insert // on the
next line.
48. unix.c: when saving a file, try to preserve uid of file instead
of using uid of process (Thomas Henlich
<henlich@mmers1.mw.tu-dresden.de>).
49. Updated perl_mode from Juho Snellman <jsnell@iki.fi>. This
version included a routine for indenting perl; however, it is
disabled by default.
50. New syntax flag bit: 0x80. This indicates that strings do not
span multiple lines.
51. getbuf_info/setbuf_info may be given an optional argument to
work with any buffer.
52. New intrinsic: copy_keymap. This creates a new keymap by
copying another.
53. In text-mode, TAB is bound to the new function text_indent_relative.
54. wmark.sl tweaked.
55. win32 console version: Fixed problem with ENHANCED keys.

change (Charl Botha <cpbotha@ieee.org>).
12. `unsigned short' replaced by `SLsmg_Char_Type'. More work will
have to be done when version 2.0 of slang comes out with
unicode support.
13. Change Buffer menu item added. This required a new intrinsic
function: menu_set_select_popup_callback
14. Documentation updates and redundant documentation removed from
C files.
15. Whitespace in front of C preprocessor constructs ignored via
new `set_syntax_flags' bit.
16. Documentation changed to reflect the fact that vinsert does not
require the number of items. Similarly, the .sl files were
modified accordingly.
17. process_query_at_exit intrinsic added.
18. If DOLLAR_CHARACTER is 0, no such character will be used as an
indicator that text extends beyond the borders of the window.
19. New inrinsics: _get_point, _set_point. These should be used in
favor of the POINT variable which will be removed from future
releases.
20. win32: all intrinsic win32 menu functions have been renamed
with a `w32_' prefix, e.g., redraw_menubar --> w32_rename_menubar.
Hopefully, this change will not affect anyone.
21. `directory' function is no longer an intrinsic function. Now
it is a slang function simulated using the listdir intrinsic.
22. win32, msdos, OS/2: New variable: Case_Sensitive_Filenames
If non-zero, filenames will be treated as case-sensitive on
these systems, otherwise filenames will be considered as
case-insensitive. This change was patterned on a patch from
Eddie Penninkhof <wizball@xs4all.nl>.

Changes since B0.99-8 {{{
0. Miscellaneous patches from Ricard Sierra <irebulle@nexo.es>
added. (Note: this item was added on Nov 17, 1999)
1. win32: define_color intrinsic was not working properly because
of an old-style definition.
2. win32: g32shell.exe performs globbing on command line
arguments but w32shell.exe does not. To use the globbing
shell, put `W32shell_Perform_Globbing=1;' in your jed.rc file.
3. win32.c: bug in sys_findnext corrected.
4. problem with enable_menu_keys on win32 fixed.
5. doc/script.txt updated.
6. QNX specific patches from SvOlli <smoll@qnx.de>.
7. Xjed: fgKeyword2 and bgKeyword2 resource settings added.
8. idl.sl: ide_window_down typo corrected (Matthew Gabeler-Lee
<msg2@po.cwru.edu>).
9. win32 Borland specific patches from John Skilleter
<john@skilleter.freeserve.co.uk>.
10. Updated ide.sl mode from Guido Gonzato
<guido@ibogeo.df.unibo.it>.
11. install targets rewritten to work around limitations of the
autoconf install script.
12. Improved detection of fold marks.
13. win32 patch involving read-only files from John Skilleter
<john.Skilleter@pace.co.uk>.
14. update_sans_update_hook intrinsic added.
15. win32: bug involve handling of ALTGR fixed. In addition, several
other changes were made to the win32 keyboard code to allow ^G to
interrupt a slang procedure, e.g., while(1);
16. If an interactive seach finds a match on a hidden line, e.g.,
one in a fold, then the line will be made momentarily visible.
(B0.99-9 released)
17. win32: Ctrl-2 was not generating the correct keysequence.
(B0.99-9a released)
}}}
Changes since B0.99-7 {{{
0. win32 subprocess support changed. Basically from what I
consider to be bug in windows, a helper application is required
to launch subprocesses (jed/bin/w32shell.exe). Microsoft says
this need is due to ``differences'' between windows 95, 98, and
NT (???!!!). A function `_win32_get_helper_app_name' has been
added to allow some experimentation with the helper app. In
addition, the console version will spawn a subshell when
suspending.
1. Under Unix, if `info' is a symbolic link to jed, then jed will
run as an info reader.
2. If you attempt to write to a file that has changed on the disk,
you will be warned.
3. Asynchronous process denied if started via `jed -secure'
4. A warning message is printed if compiled against a version of
slang that is more recent that the one it is linked to--- this
happens when the user does not properly install the slang library.
5. OS/2 findfirst/findnext patch from Eddie Penninkhof
<wizball@xs4all.nl>.

Changes since B0.99-6 {{{
1. set_syntax_flags enhanced to allow additional customization of
the highlighting of preprocessor lines.
2. ISO-Latin word character definitions tweaked (Thomas Henlich
<henlich@mmers1.mw.tu-dresden.de>).

4. edt.sl setkey inconsistency fixed.
5. Updated ide.sl mode from Guido Gonzato
<guido@ibogeo.df.unibo.it> and blue2.sl color scheme.
6. sgml.sl syntax coloring tweaks.
7. More menu tweaks:
a. pgup/pgdn keys may be used to navigate.
b. Popup definitions moved to popups.sl to be autoloaded upon
use.
c. Mode menu item added to menubar for mode-specific commands.
8. Bug fixed involving deletion of the mini-buffer.
9. _jed_version_string added.
10. tweaked indentation of C preprocessor statements.
11. lib/syntax.sl rewritten to take advantage of associative arrays.
12. __IBMC__ patches from Eddie Penninkhof <wizball@xs4all.nl>.
13. enable_menu_keys added to make the menu-bar hotkeys work after
loading an emulation that redefines the keys, e.g., ESC-f in
emacs.sl.
14. DISPLAY_EIGHT_BIT semantics changed to match those of the SLsmg
screen management routines.
15. SELECTIVE_DISPLAY variable removed.
16. enable_xmouse function added to facilitate loading of mousex.sl when
running jed in an Xterm.
}}}
Changes since B0.99-5 {{{
0. New drop down menu system added. These menus work in all
versions of jed and may be activated via the F10 key or via the
mouse. For use in an xterm, load mousex.sl. See doc/menus.txt

2. src/Makefile.in was not installing the color definition files.
3. VMS patches from Jouk Jansen <joukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.nl>:
Jed_Doc_Files was not getting set. Typo in vms.c corrected.
4. Gpm mouse patch from George Young <gryoung@nortelnetworks.com>

7. Work around for a glibc or linux 2.2 kernel bug that gets triggered
when reading 0 bytes from a pipe.
8. win32 patches from John Skilleter
<john@skilleter.free-online.co.uk>. These allow jed to be
compiled with Borland 5.
9. Reworked the init_slang hook to allow multiple hooks.
10. lib/os.sl:set_selective_display moved to lib/seldisp.sl. In
addition, the function was modified so that the current column
is used to set the display column.
11. lib/emacs.sl: goto_line_cmd bound to ESC-g (Ang Chin Han
<angch@yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au>).
12. New color schemes: default1.sl, blue1.sl
13. Updated .sl files from Guido Gonzato <guido@ibogeo.df.unibo.it>:
ide.hlp, ide.sl, matlab.sl, rcs.sl, sgml.sl.
14. 1+1 is now highlighted correctly.
15. unset_buffer_hook intrinsic added.

Changes since 0.98-7 {{{
0. Major changes to the display system. Now jed uses the SLang
screen management routines. Syntax highlight of multi-line
comments should now work correctly.
1. insert_char did not check read-only status of buffer.
2. Added patches from Joao Luis Fonseca <joaolf@centroin.com.br>
to src/mkfiles/makefile.all.
3. Typo in idl.sl corrected.
4. New rmail functions:
rmail_hide_deleted
rmail_unhide_deleted
5. %p status line specifier now includes the column if LINENUMBERS
is greater than 1.
6. Tweaks to src/gpmmouse.c from George R. Young
<ag136@freenet.carleton.ca>.
7. Port to MINGW32 from Marko Pistotnik <mpistotnik@hotmail.com>.
Note: mswshell.exe is still a BCC compiled 16 bit executable.
It appears that mswshell.c still needs ported to WIN32.
9. VMSMAKE.COM changes provided by Martin P.J. Zinser
<m.zinser@gsi.de>. He also provided jed/doc/JED.HLP for VMS.
10. OS/2 ICC patches from Eddie Penninkhof <eddie.penninkhof@tip.nl>.

20. CHanges to better support C++ from Michael Johnson
<redbeard@redbeard.com> as well as changes to html.sl.
21. Fortran-sytle comments are now mode dependent in a much more
useful and flexible way via the new intrinsic
`set_fortran_comment_chars'.
22. TI asm mode added (tiasm.sl).
23. modeinfo.sl added. The functions in this file facilitate
sharing information between modes:
mode_get_mode_info
mode_set_mode_info
For example, a mode can define folding information that
folding.sl can use. See, e.g., folding.sl and cmode.sl.
(B0.99.1 snapshot released)
24. Bug fixes:
* Blink match bug fixed involving " at the beginning of a line.
* In sh-mode `\'' given a string syntax.
25. hook_add_to_hook replaced by hooks.sl:hook_add_hook. I believe
this interface permits better chaining of hooks.
26. isearch.sl bug fix involving ^G abortion of search.
27. Updates to dabbrev.sl to use array syntax. Also foreach...using
used in some .sl files. See slang documentation for
information about foreach construct.
28. Some functions and variables in several lib/*.sl files have
been made `static'.
----- snapshot jed0.99_981116 made available (B0.99.2) -----
29. Microsoft Visual C support added to compile.sl
(Paul Shirley <Paul@chocolat.foobar.co.uk>).
30. Small patch to mouse.c that fixes a bug in the presence of
folded text.
31. Tweak to shmode.sl
32. On black and white terminals, message lines are nolonger
displayed with attributes.
33. Tweaks to xjed display to correct a bug on maximization of the
window.
34. OS/2 Subprocess support provided by Kazuhisa Yoshino
<k-yosino@inatori.netsweb.ne.jp>.
35. showkey for ``eight-bit'' character now displays the character
properly.
36. Under SVR4 unix, pty implementation changed to use stream
modules instead of BSD pty emulation. This was necessary
because Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 have buggy BSD pty emulation and
jed was able to crash those operating systems.
37. New modes from Guido Gonzato <guido@ibogeo.df.unibo.it>:
ide.sl : 99% compatible Borland IDE mode (see doc/ide-mode.txt)
sgml.sl
rcs.sl
matlab.sl
backups.sl : Make numbered backups
------B0.99.3 snapshot released (0.99_981127) --------------
38. __BORLANDC__ specific patches from John Skilleter

39. MAIN_ARGC replaced by __argc and command_line_arg replaced by
__argv.
40. Tweaks to c_format_paragraph
41. New MSWINDOWS vaiable from John Skilleter: FN_CHAR
Normally, function keys generate a two character sequence: ^@
(ascii 0) followed by some other character (see
doc/pc-keys.txt). This variable makes ^@ configurable. The
default is 0 (^@).
42. Documentation of library functions available online and via
doc/libfuns.txt.
43. Use of strchop and strchopr modified according to new semantics.
44. mkdir and rmdir intrinsic functions were replaced by slang
library intrinsics.
45. unix_kill function changed to `kill' (S-Lang library change).
46. textmac.sl modified to use associative arrays.
------B0.99.4 snapshot released ------------
47. Improved Xjed selection support and internationalization
support from Kazuhisa Yoshino <k-yosino@inatori.netsweb.ne.jp>.
48. iso-lat3.sl added (Byrial Jensen <byrial@post3.tele.dk>).
49. It is now possible to set dabbrev's word characters on a mode
via:
mode_set_mode_info ("C", "dabbrev_word_chars", "a-z_0-9A-Z");
50. Improved python mode submitted by Tom Culliton
<culliton@clark.net>.
51. nick.tatham@pobox.com provided a work-around for a windows 95
bug in the rename function affecting long filenames.
52. Wrap bug involving a long line of non-whitespace characters
fixed.
53. Makefile install target fixed.
54. Additional highlighting of ANSI/ISO C++ keywords courtesy of
Ragnar Hojland Espinosa <ragnar@redestb.es>.
55. Windows specific patch from cpbotha@bigfoot.com that fixes a
NULL pointer dereference in cover_exposed_area.
56. Bug fixed involving the free_narrow function. Also, dabbrev.sl
uses widen_region instead of widen.
56. If buffer does not exist on disk, and is not modified, then
file_changed_on_disk will return 1.
57. Misc bug-fixes: ()=insert() in sendmail.sl, blink bug in
indent.c.
58. If a file contains hard links, a backup is made via copying.
59. Misc patches from Marcin 'Qrczak' Kowalczyk"
<qrczak@knm.org.pl>: html typo and changes made to xkeys.c for
better EDT emulation by Xjed.
60. set_prefix_argument intrinsic function added and changed made
to the emacs_escape_x function to preserve a prefix argument.
61. compile function modified to accept an optional string
argument to specify the command to run. If the argument is not
present, then the user will be prompted for the command.
62. Buffer-local variables modified to allow any slang data type.
The function `create_blocal_var' nolonger accepts a `type'
argument. Also a new intrinsic `blocal_var_exists' was added.
This change was suggested by Lucho Ionkov.
63. jed --version prints version number.
64. A workaround for a Sun cmdtool bug. That terminal is a real
loser.
65. Configure indicates that linux has `grantpt', which indicates
that it has SysV ptys but it does not. BSD pty support forced
for linux. This was the reason that subprocess support failed
to work with 2.2 kernels.
66. New function: `set_color_scheme (name)'. This will allow a user
to select a predefined color scheme. See jed/lib/colors/README.

0. MAJOR changes to the slang language. It is now MUCH more
powerful and flexible. However, there is a price to pay since
some functions changed. See slang documentation for full
details. Also look at slang/UPGRADE.txt for more information
about upgrading your slang functions.
Important changes include that may affect user functions include:
vmessage and verror now work like:
vmessage ("%s-%s", "hello", "world");
instead of
vmessage ("%s-%s", "hello", "world", 2);
extract_element returns NULL if element does not exist
getenv returns NULL if environment variable does not exist
Creation of arrays is now much easier, e.g,
i = Integer_Array [10, 20];
creates an integer array with 10 rows and 20 columns. In
fact, create_array is nolonger supported by the language;
however, it is available as a function in jed/lib/compat.sl.
Switch statement syntax modified slightly. An object is nolonger
pushed onto the stack. Before some code looked like:
switch (x)
{ case '1' or (case (x, '2') : do_this (); }
{ pop (); do_that (); } % default
Now it is cleaner:
switch (x)
{ case '1' or case '2' : do_this (); }
{ do_that (); } % default
1. Rmail changes that take Content-Length into account on Solaris

2. Another symbolic link bug fixed.
3. Stack overflow while doing undo fixed.

4. Man pages for rgrep and jed provided by borik@isracom.co.il.
5. some routine code cleanup
6. Tweaks to various modes, edt, c-mode, etc...
7. New pushmode.sl file implements push_mode and pop_mode
functions that facilitate temporary changing of modes in a buffer.
This requires buffer-local-variable support.
8. New global variable Default_Jedrc_Startup_File that may be set
in defaults.sl to define default jed.rc file.
}}}
Changes since 0.98beta {{{
-2. JED386.EXE now requires a DPMI server. Read INSTALL.pc for more
information.
-1. Ctrl-H now deletes backward. Experienced users may want to add
setkey ("help_prefix", "^H");
in their .jedrc file to restore the old behavior. The
help_prefix function is now bound to `ESC ?'.
0. Patches for VMS and OS/2 applied. Also features.h changed to
jed-feat.h to avoid confusion with system header file.
1. New fold function: c_fold_buffer
2. Ctrl-X 8 now runs the digraph command for inputting accented
characters.
3. Some modifications to sendmail.sl and rmail.sl to make them work
smoothly together.
4. If the buffer local variables feature is available, the goto
bookmark functions will work properly across folds. A new
intrinsic function `is_user_mark_in_narrow' was necessary to
make this possible.
5. The current buffer position is remembered immediately before a
call to the goto bookmark function. To return to this position,
press the spacebar at the goto bookmark prompt.
6. Jed has better command line support for info topics, e.g.,
jed -info gcc
will run jed as an info reader and visit the gcc info page. In
addition, an additional parameter may be supplied to specific
which node to visit, e.g.,
jed -info gcc bugs
7. rmail_edit function added to rmail mode. The default binding is
to the "e" key. Also simple MIME decoding has been added to the
rmail mode.
8. If a command line argument begins with `--', jed will attempt to
match the remaining part of the argument to a function and
execute the function. It will also replace all `-' characters
by `_' before doing so. For example, I have a function called
`no_fold' that sets Fold_Mode_Ok to 0. I can call this function
from the command line as `jed --no-fold' That is,
`jed -f BLA_BLA_BLA' is now equivalent to `jed --BLA-BLA-BLA'.
9. On pc versions, shift arrow keys now generate a distinct
key sequence from unshifted keys. See doc/pc-keys.txt for more
information.
10. New wmark.sl file that implements DOS/Windows style cut/paste
via shift arrow keys. Add
() = evalfile ("umark");
to your jed.rc file to get this. Note: it only works on
terminals that generate distinct escape sequences for the shift
arrow keys. This includes the pc versions of jed, Xjed, and jed
running in rxvt compiled with support for this feature.
[Luchesar Ionkov is responsible for this feature].
11. joukj@alpha.chem.uva.nl created fortran 90 modes. See
jed/lib/f90.sl and jed/lib/ff90.sl. Also a python mode is
available courtesy of Harri Pasanen <pa@tekla.fi>.
12. New variable USE_TABS controls whether or not TAB characters
should be used for whitespace.
13. New Xjed specific intrinisic function: x_server_vendor
This function returns the name of X server vendor. This might
be useful for setting keysyms on a server by server basis.
14. If GPM Mouse support is compiled in, the new intrinsic function
`gpm_disable_mouse' may be used to disable the mouse.

0. Many small architectural changes.
1. Thanks to Andy Harper (A.HARPER@kcl.ac.uk) for work on DCL make files
for VMS.
2. Under Unix, ~ is stripped off filename extension before determining
the mode.
3. rgrep change: -B option may be used to skip binary files. These files
are defined to be any file with a null character in the first 32 bytes
of the file.
4. Folding mode and selective display if jed is compiled with line
attribute support. This adds about 4 bytes of overhead per buffer
line. As a result, I do not recommend it for systems with no virtual
memory (DOS). The 32 bit DOS executable (jed386.exe) does come
with folding support. wjed.exe and jed.exe do not provide
folding support because they are 16 bit executables.
To enable folding mode, you must set the variable Fold_Mode_Ok
to non-zero value in your jedrc file. See doc/fold.txt for
more information.
`set_color ("...", "blue", "white");' may be used to set the
color of the "..." hidden line indicator.
5. Line marks added. See online documentation `create_line_mark'.
This is a user mark that has a color associated with it. A line
that has a line mark will be displayed using this color.
6. A buffer-local facility has been added. See documentation on
the new intrinsic functions:
create_blocal_var
get_blocal_var
set_blocal_var
define_blocal_var
for more information.
7. If asynchronous subprocess support is enabled, jed will compile
in the background.
8. Mouse interface completely re-written to be more functional.
New intrinsics include:
mouse_set_default_hook
mouse_set_current_window
mouse_map_buttons
Double and Triple clicking is now supported in XJed.
9. Several new intrinsics including:
usleep
is_visible_mark
10. More sophisticated syntax highlighting added by Simon Tatham
<anakin@pobox.com>. His approach based on regular
expressions is available if jed is compiled with
JED_HAS_DFA_SYNTAX defined (see src/features.h). See
jed/doc/dfa.txt for more information.
11. slang_mode mode line changed from "SL" to "SLang". This makes
it more consistent with other modes.
12. Mark Olesen's sendmail and mail-alias slang packages have been
integrated into jed. The sendmail interface replaces the old
interface on Unix systems. See sendmail.sl for more information.
13. I have tried to unify the various makefiles for pc systems.
There are simply too many compilers and too many incompatable
make programs for DOS/WINDOWS/OS2 systems and about every other week I
would receive a new makefile from someone that works with X
version of make using compiler version Y. The problem with this is that
I simply cannot maintain that many makefiles. See
jed/src/mkfiles/README for my proposed solution.

0. Some intrinsic functions have been renamed:
whatmode --> what_mode
setmode --> set_mode

verror, vmessage : These take a variable number of arguments in
vinsert Sprintf style
_stk_roll : rolls the stack
strchop, strchopr : Chops up a string into substrings
del_eol : delete to end of line
del_through_eol : delete through end of line

2. narrow_to_region, widen_region: These are similar to the functions
`narrow' and `widen' except that these actually delimit editing to a
region.
3. undo now has redo. See doc/undo.txt. This is due to Dan Nelsen
<dhn@qedinc.com>.
4. In C and SLang modes, the TAB key also adjusts the indentation of
preprocessor directives. The variable C_Preprocess_Indent controls
the amount of indentation. By default, it is 1.
5. XJed specific: the resource names have been changed to conform more
closely with other programs. In particular, XJed must be changed to
xjed in your .Xdefaults file because XJed now uses the XTerm class.
6. Emacs-like insert/copy-to register operations added. The actual
functions are called `reg_insert_register' (Ctrl-X G) and
`reg_copy_to_register' (Ctrl-X X). These functions are not available
on 16 bit systems.
7. Experimental java mode. (Marko Teittinen <marko@tekamah.com>)

4. Misc bug fixes.
5. More improvements to Windows jed (wjed), specifically pull down menus
and shell commands are available. Again, this is due to Luchesar
Ionkov.
Note: Under MSWINDOWS, os.sl loads a different file (mswmouse.sl)
to define mouse actions more suitable to a 2 button mouse. I
suspect that this file should be modified to make the mouse behave
more like other Windows programs. e.g., drag mouse to define a
region then click a menu item to act on the region. Any
volunteers?
}}}
Changes since 0.97-10 {{{
0. MS-Windows version of jed now available. This is called `wjed.exe'.
Right now, it is rather primative with no support for menus or shell
interaction. Of course the mouse works with the middle button
simulated by the alt key (see jed/doc/mouse.txt). Thanks to
lionkov@sf.cit.bg (Luchesar Ionkov)) for the patches. (He also sent
me patches for shell interaction but they would not compile under BCC
3.1).
1. There were many complaints about change number 4 in 0.97-6:
4. XJed: Now when the meta (alt) key is used in
conjunction with a non-alphanumeric key such as `{',
the character is simply returned. If this creates a
backward compatibility problem or appears too
restrictive, please let me know.
Apparantly, this is too restrictive so I have removed the restriction.
Email me for for a simple way around this lifting of the restriction.
2. Directories with names ending in ~ were not getting expanded properly.
3. Slang Version 0.99-19 is now required. This implements the new
intrinsic function `strcompress'.
4. QNX support added.
5. Support for an alternate set of keywords added. The C-mode defines some
of these keywords such as `exit', `malloc', `strlen', etc... Use
something like:
set_color ("keyword1", "green", "white");
to set the colors for this set.
6. A couple of MSDOS jed bugs found. One affects the keyboard and the
other fix corrects a bad regular expression when compiling using bcc.
7. idl mode enhanced with indentation.
}}}
Changes since 0.97-9 {{{
1. Small bug in cmode.sl dealing with C++ style comments at first line of
buffer corrected.
2. Syntax highlighting problem fixed.
3. Is shell.sl finally fixed under MSDOS? I think so.
4. Tiny change to mutekeys.sl.
5. jed -secure args.... will run jed in secure mode. This means that
access to the shell will be denied.
6. Tiny bug affecting slang_mode corrected. (Very rare case).
7. First attempt at a brief mode. If you want to try it out, add:
() = evalfile ("brief");
to your jed.rc file. Currently this file is only for MSDOS and OS2.
8. Better EDT support for jed386.exe. You will need GOLD.COM which is a
TSR that maps the Numlock key to GOLD.
9. Low level keyboard interface for OS/2 and MSDOS re-written. Let me
know if there are any inconsistencies. I have been unable to test it
under OS/2.
10. Is dired fixed for OS/2??
11. bibtex mode added (Author: Carsten Tinggaard Nielsen,
tinggard@iesd.auc.dk)
}}}
Changes since 0.97-8 {{{
1. html syntax highlighting mode added.
2. New functions: _autoload and _add_completion. See function
documentation. Briefly, these permit slightly faster loading.
3. Typos corrected in shell.sl, emacs.sl, and dired.sl.
4. Small correction for file name expansion under VMS.
5. Ran purify on source code and fixed about two bad memory references.
6. new nroff mode
}}}
Changes since 0.97-7 {{{
1. The F1-F12 keys may now be used with jed386.exe and edt.sl. See
jed/doc/jed_faq.txt for more on EDT mode and jed386.exe.
2. The `untab' function has been fixed. I broke it in 0.97-7 (see below).
3. Somewhat nasty bug fixed that affected jed386.exe.
4. Unix and VMS: If the environment variable `COLORTERM' is defined, jed
will automatically set the variable USE_ANSI_COLORS to a non-zero value.
This feature is only available when compiled against slang version
0.99-14. Patches have also been sent in to the maintainer of the
color xterm `rxvt' to automatically set this variable. Incidently, if
you are using `color_xterm', I suggest that you try out `rxvt'.
5. New dired.sl and shell.sl courtesy of olesen@weber.me.queensu.ca (Mark Olesen)
}}}
Changes since 0.97-6 {{{
-1. Mouse support added to OS/2 version. (Thanks to John Burnell.
<johnb@whio.grace.cri.nz>)
0. ``Expansion hook'' added. This hook is called upon TAB completion to
preprocess the file before completion. The default definition of this
function expands environment variables when the variable is preceeded
by a dollar sign, e.g., $HOME. This function has not been defined for
VMS since VMS already has this feature built in.
Under Unix, this function also expands ~name to the login directory of
the user `name'. The expansion only takes place when the TAB key is
pressed.
The new intrinsic: set_expansion_hook may be used to change the hook.
1. Under Unix, the function `get_passwd_info' may be used to return
information about a specified user such as login dir, shell, etc...
2. TeX mode highlighting fixes:
a. words containing accents now handled properly
b. The TeX special characters `&_^#' are now colored as `operators'.
c. Braces `{}' are colored as delimiters.
3. A prefix argument to the `untab' function will cause spaces to be
converted into tabs.
4. Page up/down commands modified slightly to give appear more intuitive.
5. Misc bug fixes including:
a. Parenthesis matching now works when `(` is also a comment delimiter.
6. Pasting using the mouse has changed slightly. Previously, text would
be pasted at the position of the mouse. Now, it is pasted at the
position of the cursor. This seems more intuitive.
In addition, the editing position is restored to what it was before
dragging text into the cutbuffer. Again, this is more intuitive and
more closely follows the Xterm usage.
7. In C-mode, a if a line is preceeded by a line that ends with \, it is
indented to the first column. This is useful for continuation lines.
8. Better native support for SunOS keyboards (pageup/down/home/end).
9. The function `shell_cmd' has been changed to return the exit code of the
subprocess. Previously, it returned nothing.
10. idl mode added. Actually, only syntax highlighting is defined. This
mode takes effect on .pro files.
}}}
Changes since 0.97-5 {{{
0. New routines for adding keywords. These include:
add_keyword, define_keywords
See shmode.sl for an example. Basically, this file implements syntax
highlighting for Unix sh and csh files.
1. Bug fixed in filename completion.
2. Kevin Humphreys auctex-for-jed package has been integrated into the
source. Thanks Kevin.
3. Popular combinations of slang functions have been combined to create
new functions. These include:
bol (); skip_white (); ------------------> bol_skip_white ();
down (1); ------------------> down_1 ();
go_down (1); ------------------> go_down_1 ();
up (1); ------------------> up_1 ();
go_up (1); ------------------> go_up_1 ();
These load twice as fast and use half as much memory. If I make them
into intrinsics, they will execute twice as fast. Jed slang
programmers are encouraged to use these.
4. XJed: Now when the meta (alt) key is used in conjunction with a
non-alphanumeric key such as `{', the character is simply returned.
If this creates a backward compatibility problem or appears too
restrictive, please let me know.
5. XJed: XJed now will never read a file from stdin. This means that the
*stdin* buffer will nolonger appear when it is started from a menu by
the window manager.
}}}
Changes since 0.97-4a {{{
0. A COMPLETE rewrite of all the indentation routines. The new routines
are much more customizable through the use of syntax tables. Now, the
C mode is completely written in S-Lang.
New features:
* Now much easier to add support for new languages.
* ESC-q will format a comment if it is in the canonical form:
/*
* This is a C comment in
* the canonical form
* Notice how each line
* begins with a `*'.
*/
* `goto_match' now works in both directions.
* New C-mode functions:
c_end_of_function : ESC Ctrl-E
c_top_of_function : ESC Ctrl-A
c_mark_function : ESC Ctrl-H
1. The function `whatline' has been renamed to `what_line' for consistency
with other names.
2. New function: translate_region. This function is capable of modifying
all characters in a region according to a lookup table. This is useful
for converting buffers between various character sets. See the new
version of jed/lib/rot13.sl for an example of its usage.
3. New functionality: yank-pop. This is implemented in jed/lib/yankpop.sl.
Unfortunately this is not available on 16bit systems. This means if you
use jed.exe you cannot use it. However, jed386.exe is a 32bit
executable so it is available.
If you do not know what yank-pop is already, do not worry too much.
You should not notice its presence. However, if you do, hopefully you
will welcome jed's emulation of it. This was added to improve the
emacs emulation. See jed/doc/yankpop.txt for a simple discussion.
4. New intrinsic variable _jed_version added. This variable is an integer
that represents the version number. For 0.97-5, it has the value 9705.
For 0.97-11, it will have the value 9711 and so on.
5. A bug in jed386.exe was corrected. This bug was responsible for
some keyboard lockups.
}}}
Changes since 0.97-4 {{{
1. Intrinsic function documentation improved.
2. Source code should now compiled without specifying VAX compatability
on ALPHA/AXP systems running OpenVMS. Use the deccmake.com files to
create jed & slang.
}}}
Changes since 0.97-3 {{{
1. New intrinsic functions:
set_color_object: Associate a foreground/background color pair with
an integer, e.g., set_color_object (31, "green", "red");
set_column_colors: Allows one to display the columns of a buffer in
different colors. For example:
set_color_object (31, "green", "white");
set_color_object (32, "red", "white");
set_column_colors (31, 1, 40);
set_column_colors (32, 41, 80);
Display columns 1 to 40 in green/white and columns 41 to 80 in
red on white. This operates on a buffer by buffer basis does
not work when there is syntax highlighting already associated
with the buffer.
This function is only useful when the buffer consists of data
organized in columns, e.g., columns of numbers, dired mode,
rmail mode, etc...
str_replace: replace substrings in strings
2. In XJed, set_color("normal", "foreground-color", "background-color"),
now works. This means it is nolonger necessary to mess with
.Xdefaults to set the background color.
3. Small problem with expansion of symbolic links fixed.
4. It is now possible to set the color used for messages and errors.
This is accomplished by using, e.g.,
set_color ("message", "blue", "white");
set_color ("error", "red", "white");
5. A problem with info failing under VMS has been fixed.
}}}
Changes since 0.97-2 {{{
1. GPM mouse support under Linux. This provides jed with complete mouse
support (dragging, etc...) under the Linux console (See mouse.txt).
2. Mouse support under MSDOS. Read doc/mouse.txt for information.
3. Fixed a keymap problem in Xjed (specifically for Ctrl-_ and Function
keys).
}}}
Changes since 0.97-1 {{{
1. `:' key now overwrites instead of inserts in overwrite mode
2. Fixed tiny problem with indentation of preprocessor lines when
the colon is pressed.
3. Corrected the omission of the closing `"' in abbrmisc.sl.
4. Problem with replace_across_buffer_files corrected.
5. If a file is edited for which one does not have write permission,
the buffer is made read-only.
6. Termcap nolonger used. JED is now exclusively terminfo.
}}}
Changes since 0.97-0 {{{
1. Fixed Xjed problem of cutting and pasting with other X applications.
This file documents changes and new features found in JED
}}}
Changes since 0.96-2: {{{
-20. A bug introduced by `-18' beow that prevented searches from working
properly when using a macro has been fixed.
-19. `dired' modified such that ^K nolonger runs the function
`dired_kill_line'. Instead, one must do:
define dired_hook ()
{
local_unsetkey ("^K");
local_setkey ("dired_kill_line", "^K");
}
See jed.rc where this is performed.
-18. RETURN key may be used to continue searches. Also, matches are
highlighted.
-17. Variable `No_Backups' added to control whether or not JED is to
create backup files.
-16. Command line argument parsing modified (in site.sl) to make it easier
to write non-interactive scripts, e.g.,
jed -script my-script.sl file1 file2 ...
Basically, `-script' simply loads the next argument (my_script.sl).
It is up to the script file to interpret the remaining arguments.
See doc/script.txt for more info.
-15. Trivial modification that allow JED to become a GNU-info reader
by using:
`alias info jed -f info_reader' (Unix csh)
$ info :== jed -f info_reader (VMS)
-14. A VMS bug fixed. Specifically, the getkey AST is now disabled while
the main thread is accessing the keyboard buffer.
-13. NEW abbrev mode. This is a major rewrite of the old abbrev mode. See
jed/doc/abbrev.txt for details.
-12. `read_string_with_completion' added to read a string in the mini buffer
using a list of strings for completion.
-11. Major change in S-Lang library removes the need for functions such as
`free_array'. As a result, this function has been removed.
-10. abbrev mode. This differs from `dabbrev' in the sense that you can
define global and local abbreviations and use them. The function
`toggle_abbrev' may be used to turn the mode on/off. See abbrev.sl
for details.
-9. mousex.sl package adds mouse routines to any terminal using the XTerm
client mouse protocol. Such terminals include the Linux console
running selection as well as XTerm itself. Note: this could be made
available across a dialup line from a PC using MS-Kermit, Procomm,
etc... if someone would write the appropriate mouse TSR.
-8. Added `tex_ldots' binding that converts three `.' to \ldots.
-7. `replace_across_buffer_files' added. This function allows the user
to replace a string across all buffers attached to a file. It is
interactive.
-6. Book marks added: `bkmrk_goto_mark' and `bkmrk_set_mark'
These functions allow the user to set up to 10 bookmarks (0-9)
and return to a previously set book mark from any buffer.
These marks are implemented using new jed intrinsics:
`user_mark_buffer' : returns buffer name associtated with mark
`goto_user_mark' : goto position specified by mark
`create_user_mark' : returns a mark at the current position
-5. Automatic detection of ``non-native'' line endings. On Unix, if a
file is read in with ^Ms at the end of lines, it is flagged such that
writing out the file will preserve the line ending attributes. A `C'
will appear on the status line to indicate this fact. On DOS, etc...
if a file is read in without the ^M, it is flagged and an `L' will
appear on the status line. Use the function `toggle_crmode'
to change the attribute.
-4A. New ways added to facilitate associating modes with files:
a. add_mode_for_extension ("c", "c++");
This asscoiates c_mode with a file named something.c++.
b. If top line of file contains something like: -*- mode -*-
Note that in both cases the mode argument must omit the `_mode' part
of the name. In fact, all modes now have names that end in `_mode'.
-4B. `fortran' and `dcl' have been renamed `fortran_mode' and `dcl_mode'.
-3. C mode indenting improved.
-2. Writing to terminal under VMS SIGNIFICANTLY improved. Basically I
just bypassed the VAXC buffered stdio routines in favor of my own.
This might improve performance for Unix systems as well.
-1. Emacs style completion added-- press tab to show completions, press
space to cycle through them. Note that pressing PageUp/Down keys
will scroll the completion buffer from the minibuffer.
0. Bug fixes
1. Massive restructuring. Keymaps, Searching, and Terminal I/O moved to
S-Lang.
2. color syntax highlighting in FORTRAN, TeX, and C modes.
3. TeX mode enhanced--- more to come.
4. ``menu'' bar can now be hidden-- see jed.rc.
5. More hooks: c_mode_hook, tex_mode_hook, text_mode_hook, wrap_hook
6. Better documentation on hooks (see doc/hooks.txt).
7. showkey binding changed to `Ctrl-H k'. Also rectangle commands are
now bound in emacs.sl to emacs bindings.
8. Mute (Dead or accent) key support added. See jed.rc
9. gzipped info file support added for MSDOS
10. Alt key processing for X-Windows fixed.
11. Significant additions to dired, e.g, `~' flags all backup files.
12. Visible bell add to systems that support it (Xjed, pc and OS/2,
Linux, etc...).
}}}
Changes since 0.96-1: {{{
1. bug fix regarding regular expressions
2. Indentation of data statment in fortran mode fixed.
3 Documentation is improving....
4. dabbrev mode added (ESC / expands current word based on other
words in the buffer.)
5. Now possible to control Xjed syntax highlighting from .Xdefaults file.
6. Improvements to S-Lang ==> improvements to JED
7. rmail.sl: added `Rmail_Dont_Reply_To' variable to suppress unwanted
CCs. For example, I have:
variable Rmail_Dont_Reply_To =
"davis@amy,davis@pacific.mps.ohio-state.edu,davis@amy.tch.harvard.edu";
in my .jedrc file.
}}}
Changes since 0.96-0: {{{
1. set_color_escape_sequence function added to exploit JED's ability
to do color syntax highighting on more exotic color terminals.
2. Preprocessor lines can now be highlighted. See jed.rc as well as
doc/syntax.txt for details.
3. Tiny bug fixes:
* bug in info.sl found caused by info file that do not end with a
newline character
* isearch.sl is again able to repeat isearch backwards by pressing ^R.
This bug was introduced in 0.96-0.
* EDT special insert now works.
* Archive bit now set when JED creates a new file on MSDOS (only
jed.exe had this problem--- not jed386.exe)
4. Support for CRAY added.
5. If JED is started without a filename specified, the brief message will
be displayed warning the user that the scratch buffer will not be
saved.
6. On MSDOS, rgrep.exe (recursive grep) is now distributed. ON Unix,
simply do `make rgrep' to get a recursive highlighting grep.
Highlights of Major changes for 0.96:
1. OS/2 versions available!!
2. Color syntax highlighting in C mode.
3. Much improved indentation for C code.
4. Improved Fortran mode
5. Up to 20% faster loading
6. jed386.exe distributed with DOS version and runs
in a Windows DOS box (provides up to 256 Megs of Virtual memory)
}}}
Changes since 0.95-8b: {{{
0. JED now compiles and runs under OS/2!
OS/2 executables are zipped in the pc distribution. See install.pc

the Microsoft C and emx/gcc versions, as well Dominik Wujastyk
(ucgadkw@ucl.ac.uk) for his contribution to the OS/2 version. ]
1. re_fsearch and re_bsearch functions have been changed to return
1 + the length of the match, if a match was found, or return 0 if no
match was found. For example, `re_fsearch("$")' matches the end of a
line which, strictly speaking, is a match with 0 length.
2. Use `jed -l preparse' to pre-parse the .sl files for faster loading.
`jed -l preprocess' is now obsolete. Again, read install.*.
}}}
Changes since 0.95-7b: {{{
1. Color syntax highlighting added to C mode. It is possible to
separately color keywords, strings, numbers, delimeters, comments,
and operators. This even works on VMS and Unix systems when using
character based color terminals such as NCSA telnet, MS-Kermit,
etc... See doc/color.txt and doc/syntax.txt for more information.
2. byte compiling changed to allow preprocessing only. Simply
preprocessing is recommended on systems where more than one type of
JED executable will share the same set of *.slc library files (e.g.,
Unix where both JED and XJed might be running). Simply do:
jed -batch -l preprocess.sl
On MSDOS systems with only one version of jed.exe running, use:
jed -batch -l bytecomp.sl
}}}
Changes since 0.95-6b: {{{
1. It is now possible to display 24 hour time on the status line.
Earlier versions were capable of displaying on AM/PM format.
2. -tmp command line switch added. This means that the current buffer
is to not be autosaved or backed up. This is suitable when JED is
used as an editor for elm, etc...
3. DJGPP version fixed so that JED can read embedded ^M characters and
^Z characters while in text mode. Of course the ^M is striped if it
preceeds a line feed character.
4. Improved fortran mode. The fortran mode is the first mode that I ever
wrote for JED using S-Lang. Since then, I have had alot of experience
with S-Lang and recently I found myself programming FORTRAN again, so
I rewrote it. Do `Ctrl-H f fortran' for details.
}}}
Changes since 0.95-5b: {{{
0. XJED now compiles as a DECWindows executable under VMS.
1. The interactive replace function has been renamed to `replace_cmd' and
is now implemented in S-lang. It can now search/replace across lines.
For most users, this change should be transparent.
2. New functions:
set_buffer_no_backup ()
set_buffer_no_autosave ()
3. XJed mouse changes:
Clicking on a window status line causes a different behavior.
Specifically:
left: switch to next buffer
middle: split the window
right: delete the window
For example, one can quickly move from one buffer to the next by
simply clicking on the status line with the left mouse button.
4. XJed can nor distinguish shifted and control function keys. This
enables one to bind Shift arrow keys and Control arrow keys to
different functions.
5. Improved indenting in C-mode.
6. New variables added:
Default_Mode: default mode for a file of unknown extension.
Startup_With_File: if non-zero, JED will prompt for a filename
if none was specified on the command line.
}}}
Changes since 0.95b for 0.95-5b. {{{
1. Bug fixes:
rectangular cut and paste (when cutting single char region from
empty line)
minor color problem fixed when scrolling on color terminals
edt_line function fixed (kp0 key)
minor rmail mode changes
backward RE-search fix.
info mode bug fixed that deals with multiple word node names
typo in menu.sl corrrected. The type was causing a STACK_UNDERFLOW
error to be generated.
parenthesis blinking bug fixed that manifested itself when
inserting a parenthesis on a line that was automatically
horizontally panned.
2. RETURN now selects menu item in info mode.
3. Now possible to search/replace strings that span multiple lines.
4. In XJed, it is now possible to distinguish between Shift and Control
function and arrow keys. Also, every function key now returns
something (use the function x_set_keysym to change what a function
returns)
5. In XJed, clicking on the status line of a window now switches to a
new buffer for that window. This makes it possible to conveniently
cycle through all buffers.
6. rgrep flag now added so that directory links may be followed. Rgrep
is a recursive, highlightin grep that is distributed with JED. See
doc/rgrep.doc for more information.
7. The search forward/backwad commands are now S-Lang functions which
means that they may be changed easily.
8. New function for PC versions (DJGPP too!): find_binary_file.
This function will prompt for a filename and find it in binary
mode. A binary mode file is indicated by a `Z' status line flag.
This means that when the file is saved, it will be saved in binary
mode as well. This function provides a transparent way to edit
binary files under DOS.
9. JED now understands 8 bit control sequences generated by terminals in
8 bit mode such as DEC VTXXX. This is particularly relevant when
using JED on VMS.
Changes for version 0.95 (since 0.94-2)
0. JED distribution is different. If you have built JED in the past,
please read the install files because things have changed.
1. Support for column numbers on status line (set LINENUMBERS = 2)
2. X-Terminal (and DECWindows) version (make xjed). See doc/xjed.doc
3. Elm like read/write mail (see rmail.txt-- this is considered ALPHA,
by default it is not enabled.)
4. Additional support for Color terminals (allow different colors for
modelines, regions, etc...)
5. MUCH Improved support for colors on PC versions (looks MUCH nicer,
see how it is used in jed.rc)
6. By popular demand, a new function `describe_bindings' is available
that dumps the keybindings for the current keymap.
7. New variable Stratup_With_File can be set to prompt user for
a filename if none is specified on the command line.
8. VMS: A convenient new interface to VMSHELP is now available. This
overcomes most of the shortcomings of the VMS HELP command.
It is bound to Ctrl-H M.
9. search_forward + search_backward can now search for strings spanning
multiple lines. Also, looking_at can see across multiple lines.
Also see changes listed in the next section.
********* Important **************
The S-Lang preprocessing conditional compilation declarations have changed.
Now, constructs such as:
#ifdef UNIX
..
#else
..
#endif
are used. This means that you may have to edit you personal jed.rc file.
Instead, I encourage you to simply copy the jed.rc file shipped with this
version and add your own extensions to it.

5. `occur' function now uses regular expression searches.
6. Special `linux.sl' file for Linux systems. See `install.unx'.
7. New intrinsics: buffer_visible, pop2buf_whatbuf, bury_buffer,
regexp_nth_match,
8. `window_info' intrinsic modified to take a parameter.
9. `search_file' intrinsic modified for regular expression search.
10. New support for saving and reusing keyboard macros. This feature
has not been exploited yet!
11. By popluar request: Highlighting only occurs in the CURRENT window.
12. Miscellaneous bug fixes.
There are also some new S-Lang builtin intrinsic functions:
1. string_match: preforms RE match on a string
2. string_match_nth: returns information about previous match
3. Unix specific intrinsics:
unix_kill : sends a signal to a process
unix_ctime : converts a time value to a string representation
stat_file : performs `stat' on a given file.
lstat_file : like stat but returns information about a link
stat_struct: returns information from previous stat call.
chown : change owner/group of a file
chmod : change protections of file.
4. It is now possible to perform assignments in variable declaration
statements:
variable i = 10, y = 20.87;
5. && and || are now flagged as errors.
******************************
New since 0.94-0 : ------------------------------------------------------------
PageUP/Down functions scroll other window if called from the minibuffer.
Some defaults changed in jed.rc: Display line numbers on the status line
is now the default.
Regular expression matching (search/replace):
re_search_forward, re_search_backward, query_replace_match
New S-Lang intrinsics include:
prefix_argument() : returns value of prefix argument.
set_status_line(format, flag) : enables user to customize status line
re_fsearch, re_bsearch, replace_match : regular expression intrinsics
getpid : returns process pid
New user variables:
DISPLAY_TIME if non-zero, allows %t processing in status line format.
ALT_CHAR (ibmpc only) enables Alt-key processing. Specifically, setting
this to 27 (Ascii 27) causes ALT-X to generate ESCAPE-X, etc...
C_BRA_NEWLINE if non-zero, insert a newline before inserting '{' in C-mode.
This was the default in previous versions but it now user
selectable.

New features in 0.94-0
0.94-0 does not really add any new functionality to 0.93. However, there is a
major change: S-Lang is now very C-Like. (It can still be programmed as
RPN though, see e.g., info.sl) By C-like, I mean that you can write S-Lang
functions that look like:
define sum(a, b) % sum integers from a to b
{
variable s, i;
s = 0;
for (i = a; i <= b; i++) s += i;
return (s);
}
S-Lang has not lost any functionality, rather, its new syntax makes it more
accessable to others.
The new philosophy is that JED is an editor which just happens to embed
S-Lang as its extension language. Actually, this has always been the
philosophy but not it is even more clear cut. To compile the new JED (0.94)
you will need to pick up /pub/slang/slang.tar.Z as well. This is the S-Lang
interpreter code to be compiled as a library and linked in with JED.
The only other ``major'' changes are:
1. do_while construct added:
do { stuff... } while (expression);
2. `defined?' replaced by `is_defined'.
3. Temporary global variables $0, $1, ... $9 added for convenience and
clarity.
4. Comment delimeter changed from `;' to `%'.
5. Arrays are indexed from 0 not 1.
6. \??? is now Octal ??? NOT decimal ???. \d??? is decimal.
7. Sprintf added to intrinsics (formats strings)
In addition, you should ``bytecompile'' the .sl files after installing the
new version of jed. It is this simple:
jed -batch -l bytecomp.sl
