| 4 | This file contains information about GNU Emacs on "Nextstep" platforms. | ||
| 5 | The Nextstep support code works on many POSIX systems (and possibly | ||
| 6 | W32) using the GNUstep libraries, and on MacOS X systems using the | ||
| 7 | Cocoa libraries. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | Background | ||
| 10 | ---------- | ||
| 11 | Within Emacs, the port and its code are referred to using the term | ||
| 12 | "Nextstep", despite the fact that no system or API has been released | ||
| 13 | under this name in more than 10 years. Here's some background on why: | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | NeXT, Inc. introduced the NeXTstep API with its computer and operating | ||
| 16 | system in the late 1980's. Later on, in collaboration with Sun, this | ||
| 17 | API was published as a specification called OpenStep. The GNUstep | ||
| 18 | project started in the early 1990's to provide a free implementation | ||
| 19 | of this API. Later on, Apple bought NeXT (some would say "NeXT bought | ||
| 20 | Apple") and made OpenStep the basis of OS X, calling the API "Cocoa". | ||
| 21 | Since then, Cocoa has evolved beyond the OpenStep specification, and | ||
| 22 | GNUstep has followed it. | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | Thus, calling this port "OpenStep" is not technically accurate, and in | ||
| 25 | the absence of any other determinant, we are using the term | ||
| 26 | "Nextstep", both because it signifies the original inspiration that | ||
| 27 | created these APIs, and because all of the classes and functions still | ||
| 28 | begin with the letters "NS". | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextstep) | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | This Emacs port was first released in the early 1990's on the NeXT | ||
| 33 | computer, and was successively updated to OpenStep, Rhapsody, OS X, | ||
| 34 | and then finally GNUstep, tracking GNU emacs core releases in the | ||
| 35 | meantime. | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | |||

| 89 | fixed. Drag/drop and cut/paste interaction | ||
| 90 | w/external apps fixed. File load/save panels | ||
| 91 | available. Stability and rendering speed | ||
| 92 | improvements. Some ObjC and VC mode bugs fixed. | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | 2005/02/27 8.0-rc1 Dynamic path detection at startup so Emacs.app | ||
| 95 | can be moved anywhere. Added binary packages | ||
| 96 | and simplified source installation to running | ||
| 97 | two scripts. Thorough cleanup of menu code; | ||
| 98 | now fully functional. Fixed all detected | ||
| 99 | memory leaks. Minor frame focus and title | ||
| 100 | bugs fixed. | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | 2005/03/30 8.0-rc2 "Configure" info directory now uses dynamic | ||
| 103 | path setting, so info files can go under .app. | ||
| 104 | Improved select() handling and PTY fixes so | ||
| 105 | shell mode and tramp run smoothly. | ||
| 106 | Significant rendering optimizations under | ||
| 107 | GNUstep, and now works under Art backend. | ||
| 108 | Non-Latin text rendering works (but not | ||
| 109 | fontsets), and LEIM is bundled. UTF8 is used | ||
| 110 | for clipboard interaction. | ||
| 111 | Arrow cursor now used on scrollbar. | ||
| 112 | objc-mode and tramp now bundled in site-lisp. | ||
| 113 | |||
| 114 | 2005/05/30 8.0-rc3 Fixed bug with parsing of "easymenu" menus. | ||
| 115 | Many problems with modes such as SLIME, MatLab, | ||
| 116 | and Planner go away. Improved scrollbar | ||
| 117 | handling and rendering speed. Color panel | ||
| 118 | and other bug fixes. mac-fix-env utility. | ||
| 119 | Font handling improvements (OS X 10.3, 10.4): | ||
| 120 | - heed 'GSFontAntiAlias' default | ||
| 121 | - heed system antialiasing threshold | ||
| 122 | - added 'UseQuickdrawSmoothing' default to | ||
| 123 | invoke less heavy antialiasing | ||
| 124 | |||
| 125 | 2005/07/05 8.0-rc4 Added a Preferences panel. Cleaned up | ||
| 126 | rendering for synthetic italic fonts. Further | ||
| 127 | improved menu parsing. Use system highlight | ||
| 128 | color. Added previous- and next-mark history | ||
| 129 | navigation commmands bound to M-p,M-n. | ||
| 130 | Miscellaneous bug fixes. | ||
| 131 | |||
| 132 | 2005/08/04 8.0-rc5 All internal string handling changed to UTF-8. | ||
| 133 | This means menu items, color and color list | ||
| 134 | names, and a few other things will now display | ||
| 135 | properly. It does NOT mean UTF-8 filenames | ||
| 136 | are displayed correctly in the minibuffer. | ||
| 137 | Also relating to UTF-8, contents of files | ||
| 138 | using this coding can now be displayed (though | ||
| 139 | not auto-recognized; add extensions to your | ||
| 140 | default coding alist). Limited mac-roman | ||
| 141 | support was also added (also sans recognition). | ||
| 142 | Certain characters are not displayed properly | ||
| 143 | due to a translation problem. (UTF-8 based on | ||
| 144 | work by Otfried Cheong; mac-roman from | ||
| 145 | emacs-21.) Partial support for "dead-key" | ||
| 146 | handling now added. Transparency (e.g., M-x | ||
| 147 | set-background-color ARGB88FFFFFF) improved: | ||
| 148 | only the background is made transparent. | ||
| 149 | Cursor drawing glitches fixed. Preferences | ||
| 150 | handling improved. Fixed some portability | ||
| 151 | problems on Tiger and Puma. | ||
| 152 | |||

| 154 | stability improvements. Compiles under gcc-4. | ||
| 155 | |||

| 24 | Background | ||
| 25 | ---------- | ||
| 26 | Within Emacs, the port and its code are referred to using the term | ||
| 27 | "Nextstep", despite the fact that no system or API has been released | ||
| 28 | under this name in more than 10 years. Here's some background on why: | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | NeXT, Inc. introduced the NeXTstep API with its computer and operating | ||
| 31 | system in the late 1980's. Later on, in collaboration with Sun, this | ||
| 32 | API was published as a specification called OpenStep. The GNUstep | ||
| 33 | project started in the early 1990's to provide a free implementation | ||
| 34 | of this API. Later on, Apple bought NeXT (some would say "NeXT bought | ||
| 35 | Apple") and made OpenStep the basis of OS X, calling the API "Cocoa". | ||
| 36 | Since then, Cocoa has evolved beyond the OpenStep specification, and | ||
| 37 | GNUstep has followed it. | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | Thus, calling this port "OpenStep" is not technically accurate, and in | ||
| 40 | the absence of any other determinant, we are using the term | ||
| 41 | "Nextstep", both because it signifies the original inspiration that | ||
| 42 | created these APIs, and because all of the classes and functions still | ||
| 43 | begin with the letters "NS". | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextstep) | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | This Emacs port was first released in the early 1990's on the NeXT | ||
| 48 | computer, and was successively updated to OpenStep, Rhapsody, OS X, | ||
| 49 | and then finally GNUstep, tracking GNU emacs core releases in the | ||
| 50 | meantime. | ||

| 107 | improvements. Some ObjC and VC mode bugs fixed. | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | 2005/02/27 8.0-rc1 Dynamic path detection at startup so Emacs.app | ||
| 110 | can be moved anywhere. Added binary packages | ||
| 111 | and simplified source installation to running | ||
| 112 | two scripts. Thorough cleanup of menu code; | ||
| 113 | now fully functional. Fixed all detected | ||
| 114 | memory leaks. Minor frame focus and title | ||
| 115 | bugs fixed. | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | 2005/03/30 8.0-rc2 "Configure" info directory now uses dynamic | ||
| 118 | path setting, so info files can go under .app. | ||
| 119 | Improved select() handling and PTY fixes so | ||
| 120 | shell mode and tramp run smoothly. | ||
| 121 | Significant rendering optimizations under | ||
| 122 | GNUstep, and now works under Art backend. | ||

| 130 | Many problems with modes such as SLIME, MatLab, | ||
| 131 | and Planner go away. Improved scrollbar | ||
| 132 | handling and rendering speed. Color panel | ||
| 133 | and other bug fixes. mac-fix-env utility. | ||
| 134 | Font handling improvements (OS X 10.3, 10.4): | ||
| 135 | - heed 'GSFontAntiAlias' default | ||
| 136 | - heed system antialiasing threshold | ||
| 137 | - added 'UseQuickdrawSmoothing' default to | ||
| 138 | invoke less heavy antialiasing | ||
| 139 | |||
| 140 | 2005/07/05 8.0-rc4 Added a Preferences panel. Cleaned up | ||
| 141 | rendering for synthetic italic fonts. Further | ||

| 146 | |||
| 147 | 2005/08/04 8.0-rc5 All internal string handling changed to UTF-8. | ||
| 148 | This means menu items, color and color list | ||
| 149 | names, and a few other things will now display | ||
| 150 | properly. It does NOT mean UTF-8 filenames | ||
| 151 | are displayed correctly in the minibuffer. | ||
| 152 | Also relating to UTF-8, contents of files | ||
| 153 | using this coding can now be displayed (though | ||
| 154 | not auto-recognized; add extensions to your | ||
| 155 | default coding alist). Limited mac-roman | ||
| 156 | support was also added (also sans recognition). | ||
| 157 | Certain characters are not displayed properly | ||
| 158 | due to a translation problem. (UTF-8 based on | ||
| 159 | work by Otfried Cheong; mac-roman from | ||
| 160 | emacs-21.) Partial support for "dead-key" | ||
| 161 | handling now added. Transparency (e.g., M-x | ||
| 162 | set-background-color ARGB88FFFFFF) improved: | ||
| 163 | only the background is made transparent. | ||
| 164 | Cursor drawing glitches fixed. Preferences | ||
| 165 | handling improved. Fixed some portability | ||
| 166 | problems on Tiger and Puma. | ||
