  changes added by this port to the standard GNU emacs distribution


Changes this version:

Integrated the multi-TTY functionality from emacs core (however, mixed
TTY and GUI sessions are not working yet).  Support 10.5.  Give
site-lisp load precedence over lisp and add a compile option to prefer
an additional directory, use miniaturized miniwindow images in some
cases, rename cursor types for consistency w/other emacs terms,
improved font selection for symbol scripts.  Bug fixes: fringe and
bitmap, frame deletion, resizing, cursor blink, workspace open-file,
image backgrounds, toolbar item enablement, context menu positioning.


Changes:
2007-11-23
  * Version 9.0-rc3 released.

2007-11-22
  * configure.in, Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in, src/config.in,
  nextstep/compile: Change logic for GNUstep platforms to handle FHS
  installations in addition to regular.

2007-11-19
  * ns-win.el (ns-define-service): Take arg or marked text, and return
  string if arg given.
  * nsfns.m, nsselect.m: Use of Fsignal: send Qquit instead of Qerror,
  since these are more wrong-args type of messages, no serious errors
  requiring the debugger.

2007-11-16
  * ns-win.el: Adapt to recent change in buffer menu variable.
  * facemenu.el (facemenu-read-color): Don't require match to color
  list, so ARGB colors can be read.

2007-11-15
  * nsterm.m (x_set_window_size): Correct behavior on certain
  toolbar-added resizes by constraining to screen ourselves -- leaving
  it to Cocoa generated inconsistent results.

2007-11-11
  * lisp/international/fontset.el (script-representative-chars): Added
  chars for 'symbol' script.

2007-11-08
  * (various): Improved multi-TTY integration.
  * nsterm.m (x_set_window_size): Don't return if font width/height has
  changed.

2007-11-01
  * (various): Updated for multi-TTY integration.

2007-10-14
  * nsmenu.m (ns_popup_menu): Set frame in call to mouse_position_hook.
  * nsterm.m (ns_mouse_position): Check for null frame.

2007-10-14
  * nsmenu.m (EmacsToolbar-changed): Report changed on enablement state
  change.

2007-10-13
  * image.c (xpm_load_image): Work around an apparent bug in NSImage
  alpha management (avoids blocky appearance of startup image on black bg).
  * nsimage.m (-setXBMColor:): Only set color for non-alpha-masked pixels.
  Shouldn't have to do this, but... (Fixes "fat" rendering w/colored or
  dark fringe backgrounds).
  * nsterm.m (ns_dumpglyphs_image): Fix minor glitch w/background drawing.
  (-setMiniwindowImage:): Add argument to set to optionally set nil (for
  miniaturized version of window).
  * nsfns.m (ns_implicitly_set_icon_type): Use it.

2007-10-12
  * lisp/ns-menu-bar.el: Cut down to minimal code, eliminating most
  remaining redundancy with menu-bar.el, and move the remnant to
  ns-win.el.

2007-10-10
  * Patch 20071010_rc2a released.

2007-10-10  Peter Dyballa <dyballa@gmx.de>
  * nextstep/compile: Add --local-lisp-path=<dir> option to prepend a
  path to epaths.h to search for lisp before other directories.

2007-10-10  Seiji Zenitani <zenitani@mac.com>
  * nsterm.m (ns_init_paths): Switch order from lisp, leim, site-lisp to
  site-lisp, lisp, leim.
  * ns-win.el (ns-utf8-nfd-post-read-conversion etc.): Define coding
  system utf-nfd to handle decomposed (normal form D) UTF-8 in MacOSX
  filenames.  Based on initial contribution by Carsten Bormann.  (This
  change went into rc2 but was not noted in the ChanngeLog there.)

2007-09-26
  * nsterm.m (ns_pending_files, -openFile:, ns_read_socket): Handle
  openFile requests by storing to a queue and acting on later when
  events can be processed.

2007-09-25
  * nsterm.m (ns_draw_window_cursor, EmacsView-windowDidResignKey):
  Be more clever about drawing background (to avoid flicker with
  blinking cursor).  Also, rename cursor type line -> bar, bar ->
  underscore.
  * frame.c (do_switch_frame): Explicitly call Fraise_frame() on
  for_deletion case (to fully focus the frame).
  * nsterm.m (x_make_frame_visible): Make into a no-op (unneeded).

2007-09-21
  * nsterm.m (ns_draw_fringe_bitmap): Expand bitmap image cache as needed.
  * image.c: Be more careful about retain/release on image backgrounds.
