29 ** The default X toolkit is now Gtk+, rather than Lucid.
|
|
|
30
|
|

|
31 ** configure now checks for libgif before libungif when searching for
|
|
|
32 a GIF library.

35 * Changes in Emacs 23.1
|
|
|
36
|
|
81732
|
37 ** If you set find-file-confirm-nonexistent-file to t, then C-x C-f
|
|
81674
|
38 requires confirmation before opening a non-existent file.
|
|
|
39
|
|
81418
|
40 ** If the gpm mouse server is running and t-mouse-mode enabled, Emacs uses a
|
|
|
41 Unix socket in a GNU/Linux console to talk to server, rather than faking events
|
|
|
42 using the client program mev. This C level approach provides mouse
|
|
|
43 highlighting, and help echoing in the minibuffer.
|
|
|
44
|
|
81553
|
45 ** The new variable next-error-recenter specifies how next-error should
|
|
|
46 recenter the visited source file. Its value can be a number (for example,
|
|
|
47 0 for top line, -1 for bottom line), or nil for no recentering.
|
|
|
48
|
|
82071
|
49 ** The mode-line display a `@' if the default-directory for the current buffer
|
|
|
50 is on a remote machine, or a hyphen otherwise.
|
|
82097
|
51 ** The new command balance-window-area balances windows both vertically
|
|
|
52 and horizontally.

64 ** Minibuffer changes:
|
|
|
65
|
|
|
66 *** isearch started in the minibuffer searches in the minibuffer history.
|
|
|
67 Reverse isearch commands (C-r, C-M-r) search in previous minibuffer
|
|
|
68 history elements, and forward isearch commands (C-s, C-M-s) search in
|
|
|
69 next history elements. When the reverse search reaches the first history
|
|
|
70 element, it wraps to the last history element, and the forward search
|
|
|
71 wraps to the first history element. When the search is terminated, the
|
|
|
72 history element containing the search string becomes the current.

|
|
|
121 The new methods "plinkx", "plink2", "psftp", "sftp" and "fish" have
|
|
|
122 been introduced. There are also new so-called gateway methods
|
|
|
123 "tunnel" and "socks".
|
|
|
124
|
|
|
125 *** Multihop syntax has been removed.
|
|
|
126 The pseudo-method "multi" has been removed. Instead of, multi hops
|
|
|
127 can be specified by the new variable `tramp-default-proxies-alist'.
|
|

128

129 *** More default settings.
|

130 Default values can be set via the variables `tramp-default-user',

131 `tramp-default-user-alist' and `tramp-default-host'.
|

|
132
|
|
|
133 *** Connection information is cached.
|
|
|
134 In order to reduce connection setup, information about used
|
|
|
135 connections are kept persistent in a file. The name of this file is
|
|
|
136 defined in the variable `tramp-persistency-file-name'.
|
|
|
137
|
|
|
138 *** Control of remote processes.
|
|
|
139 Running processes on a remote host can be controlled by settings in
|
|
|
140 `tramp-remote-path' and `tramp-remote-process-environment'.
|
|
|
141
|
|
|
142 *** Success of remote copy is checked.
|
|
|
143 When the variable `file-precious-flag' is set, the success of a remote
|
|
|
144 file copy is checked via the file's checksum.
|
|
|
145
|

146 ** comint-mode uses `start-file-process' now (see Lisp Changes).
|
|
|
147 If `default-directory' is a remote file name, subprocesses are started
|
|
|
148 on the corresponding remote system.

155 ** IPv6 is supported on MS-Windows.
|
|
|
156 Emacs now supports IPv6 on Windows XP and later, and earlier versions
|
|
|
157 of Windows with third party IPv6 stacks installed. Previously IPv6 was
|
|
|
158 supported on other platforms, but not on Windows due to using the winsock
|
|
|
159 1.1 header file, even though Emacs was linking to the winsock 2 library.
