(view-helpful-message, view-undefined, view-mode-command-loop) * mail-utils.el rmail-dont-reply-to was losing on multi-line fields. * simple.el delete-blank-lines was deleting too much if on an isolated blank line. Fri Jul 12 14:29:31 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * mh-e.el: Replace C-h command with DEL so Help is still available. get-string was erroneously used for read-string.

RMS: this is what my changes to Fsubstitute_command_keys in doc.c were supposed to do. Tue Jul 9 01:36:56 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * isearch.el (isearch): Do not preserve window-start if had switched to the small window. * dissociate.el: Pause after each screen. Avoid forward-char past end of buffer.

Don't use find-comment-line any more. * lisp-mode.el, c-mode.el, scheme.el, mim-mode.el: Define comment-start-skip so it does not match the null string. * c-mode.el (electric-c-terminator): Don't use find-line-comment--use parse-partial-sexp to check for line ending in a comment. * startup.el (command-line-1): Define +nnn line-number specs. Use precomputed help string for speed instead of substitute-command-keys when the precomputed string is correct. * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-concat): concat with one arg is not a no-op. Sun Jun 16 02:26:00 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * sendmail (mail-mode): Mention that C-c y will yank current message in rmail whether replying or not. * mail-utils (rmail-dont-reply-to): If rmail-dont-reply-to-names is nil, make it be (getenv "USER").

Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * simple.el, lisp-mode.el, c-mode.el, scheme.el: comment-indent-hook now called with no args, with point at beginning of existing comment or at end of line. mim-mode's comment-indent-hook seems to need no change. Fri Jun 14 20:12:32 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * loaddefs.el (rmail-dont-reply-to-names): Misleading documentation said `list' of names. Its really a regular expression. Make it nil by default. Also, add defconst for `rmail-spool-directory'. * mail-utils.el (rmail-dont-reply-to): Check for nilness of rmail-dont-reply-to-names and skip strip loop if so. * loaddefs.el: Elisp -> Emacs-Lisp. * echistory.el, chistory.el: Elisp -> Emacs-Lisp. * rmail.el: Various functions - If message counters aren't set, set them.

I don't think the distinction is worth it. Add command for summarizing by attribute. Make `rmail-new-summary' support it. * rmail.el (rmail-show-message): search instead of re-search. * rmail.el (rmail-output-to-mail-file): Yechh. Cleaned it up. * rmail.el (rmail-summary-mode): Add functions for scrolling current message from summary. After rlk, only make them bullet proof. Add quit from rmail. * rmail.el (rmail-new-summary): Reuse old summary buffers when possible. After rlk, only his way of doing it was brain damaged. * rmail.el: rmail-last-message was off by 1. Fix it and put it on key `>'. (bug noted by rlk). Make rmail-edit run text-mode-hook. rlk also had it run `rmail-edit-mode-hook' but this is silly because function claims to be like text-mode except for two keys. * rmail.el (rmail-insert-inbox-text): Chomper wasn't deleting ~/.newmail after moving mail from /usr/spool/mail/. Make it do the right thing. Use new variable rmail-spool-directory (default "/usr/spool/mail/") to determine if movemail should be called (some people use "/spool/mail/"). Probably should move defvar to loaddefs when released. * simple.el: Flush `blink-matching-paren-ding' and code. * add-log.el: Flush `add-log-entry-to-log-in-buffer'. * loaddefs.el: Changes to reflect partitioning of command history stuff. Flush autoload of report-emacs-bug, leave the file emacsbug.el for arpanet sites to use if they want. * echistory.el: (require 'chistory) * chistory.el: Move list-command-history and command-history-mode here. Purpose of this file is just to look at the history. Also contains unrelated (to listing) but useful `repeat-matching-complex-command'. * simple.el (repeat-complex-command): Replaced its definition with `repeat-edit-nth-complex-command' from chistory.el, edit form in minibuffer instead of asking for confirmation. Add new function `edit-and-eval-command' which it uses. Thu Jun 13 01:30:08 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * rmail.el (rmail-insert-inbox-text): Expand file name "movemail" in exec-directory for call-process. The only reason it worked here before is because exec-directory is in most people's shell paths. No, this directory is added automatically to the path used by call-process. It should have worked before. - RMS * loaddefs.el: C-z -> C-c in documentation for mail. autoload report-emacs-bug from emacsbug.el. * emacsbug.el: New file. Reports bugs with version info. * helper.el (Helper-describe-bindings): Make it describe local bindings faster by binding global map to nil so describe-bindings is faked out. * lisp-mode.el: First form of prog1 is distinguished. * loaddefs.el: autoload functions from chistory.el and echistory.el. * chistory.el: New file containing two alternatives to `repeat-complex-command' which put the form in the minibuffer instead of asking for confirmation. * echistory.el: Finished it. Split off two useful but unrelated commands into chistory.el. Made command-history-mode unable to redo expressions because there is no sensible way to pick buffer to do it in: now its just for looking at the history produced by list-command-history or after electric-command-history throws. * electric.el: Allow specification of prompt to Electric-command-loop. Interpret nil max-height argument to Electric-pop-up-window as license to grab as much of the screen as necessary if buffer wont fit; also fix fencepost neglect to account for modeline in height computations. Wed Jun 12 21:22:32 1985 Richard Mlynarik (mly at mit-prep) * rmail (rmail-insert-inbox-text) file-name-directory includes a trailing "/" Wed Jun 12 01:23:28 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * shell.el (inferior-lisp-mode): Call lisp-mode-hook AFTER shell-mode-hook. * rmail.el (rmail-get-attribute-string): Did not account for empty attribute string. Neglected to include leading `,' for rmail-display-message-attributes. Unbound variable dot-max-save - I guessed that it was really supposed to be dot-min before the widen (the start of the user visible header) so I bound it and renamed it dot-min-save. * ebuff-menu.el: New variable after-electric-buffer-menu called after select if non-nil. Bind goal-column to nil while running. * add-log.el: New function add-log-entry-to-log-in-buffer. Use when adding multiple entries to the ChangeLog. Bound to ESC-*. Made it share code with add-change-log-entry (former calls latter). Wed Jun 12 00:24:07 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * rmail.el (rmail-get-attribute-string): Rewritten by rlk to be smaller and more general. Tue Jun 11 18:29:07 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * ebuff-menu.el: Make M-C-v scroll-other-window instead of scroll-down. Make M-v scroll-down. * ebuff-menu.el, echistory.el: Made them use electric. * electric.el: New module for packages that retain control until some event occurs. Command loop and window maker. Mon Jun 10 21:07:50 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * echistory.el: Made it use helper.el. Remove kill-ring-save stuff pending use of new winning prin1-to-string for minibuffer hacking. * view.el: Made it use helper.el. * helper.el: New module for packages which want to do help without giving up control. Mon Jun 10 16:46:02 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * sendmail.el: Switch to C-c as prefix instead of C-z. Sun Jun 9 20:20:30 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * simple.el: Rename kill-ring-save to copy-region-as-kill. Old name still works. * tags.el (visit-tag-table-buffer): Give error unless tag table starts with a formfeed as it should. * sendmail.el: Install C-z w as mail-signature. Fix bug of reinserting --text...-- in wrong place when a null subject was deleted. * macros.el (kbd-macro-query): Don't ask for input when macro is being defined. When macro is executing, make prompt really appear. In loaddefs, put this on C-x q. Sun Jun 9 03:33:18 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * dired.el: Fix bugs in dired introduced by use of auto-save-file-name-p. Dont call it if it isn't fbound (just look for `#'). Add second arg to dired-get-filename which says just return nil (no error) if there is no filename on line. Rename dired-mark-backup-and-temp-files to be dired-mark-backup-and-auto-save-files. Sat Jun 8 00:41:17 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * ebuff-menu.el (electric-buffer-list): Lost if # lines < window-min-height and there was only one window. Make it win! * echistory.el: New file - implements command history interface (electric and plain jane listing). Waiting for opinions before I put it in loaddefs. * ebuff-menu.el (electric-buffer-list): Went to char select after Buffer-menu-execute, which can kill lines. So set mark at select before execute and go to mark before select. Winnage. * buff-menu.el: Stomp all kinds of roaches. Buffer-menu-do-kills was doing re-search when it wanted to do search (no harm, but faster). Fix fencepost error, when it killed a buffer line, it neglected to move back, thereby sitting on potential `K' which was missed. Wrap save-excursion around kill-buffer, it seems that kill-buffer changes something when it asks about mod file (dont ask me ...). Buffer-menu-do-saves was searching for "\n.S", it meant re-search. Teach Buffer-menu-unmark how to handle `%' and `*' at same time. * files.el (find-file-no-select): Don't run dired if value of new variable find-file-run-dired is nil. t by default. Fri Jun 7 05:21:08 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * options.el (list-options): Use substitute-command-keys. * loaddefs.el (view-file, view-buffer, electric-buffer-list): Mention view-hook. Mention electric-buffer-menu-mode-hook. * ebuff-menu.el: Restrict dot to actual buffer description line. Document some functions. Make electric-buffer-menu-describe-mode interactive. Make C-g shutup when it exits, advertise it as exit char. Restrict help so that window configuration lossage is impossible (could lose if went into full blown help). Add function for describing help options. Add `v' command for viewing buffer and returning to the Electric Buffer List. * loaddefs.el: autoload edit-picture. * picture.el: New "Major" mode for editing pictures and tables. * view.el: Fix bug with non-file-buffer names. Use buffer name instead in these cases. New variable view-hook. Thu Jun 6 15:04:15 1985 Richard Mlynarik (mly at mit-prep) * view.el: (provide 'view) defined unadvertized c-m-a, c-m-e, c-m-b, c-m-f at end of buffer says how to exit. Thu Jun 6 07:39:17 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * view.el: Restrict quit to q, C-c, C-z. Fill keymaps with new function view-undefined which dings and tells you how to quit or get help. Add eval-expression but don't advertise it. * indent.el (edit-tab-stops-note-changes): Make *Tab Stops* buffer go away when changes are installed by switching to edit-tab-stops-buffer and burying *Tab Stops*. Thu Jun 6 00:12:03 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * fill.el: New function fill-individual-paragraphs. * dired.el: Rename dired-mark-temp-files to dired-mark-auto-save-files, and make it use auto-save-file-name-p. * bytecode.el (byte-recompile-directory): Use auto-save-file-name-p. Provide default definition of same. * files.el: Define auto-save-file-name-p. Tue Jun 4 16:59:03 1985 Richard Mlynarik (mly at mit-prep) * sendmail.el (sendmail-send-it): Somewhat gratuitously deleting empty subject lines. /usr/lib/sendmail seems smart enough (!) to hack this itself Tue Jun 4 00:42:12 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * info.el (Info-find-node, Info-exit): Use expansion of filename in error message on file not found in Info-find-node. Bury the current buffer in Info-exit because you can say C-h i if you want to look at it again. * simple.el (goal-column): Use \\[...] to refer to set-goal-column in variable documentation. * simple.el (function-called-at-dot, variable-at-dot): Eliminate redundant testing of nil'ness of obj in and clauses. * simple.el (describe-variable): Bind enable-recursive-minibuffers so can use C-h v. It would be nice if instead could enable JUST C-h v (or C-h f for describe-function). * aton.el (occur-menu): Bogus message in minibuffer claimed C-z expanded menu entry. Use substitute-command-keys to get the right key. Move to the first line if rebuild-summary, else the next line. Make the occur menu buffer read-only. Mon Jun 3 22:12:27 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * mim-mode.el: Fix bugs related to moving across atoms in other packages (i.e. with trailers). Mon Jun 3 18:01:33 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * c-mode.el (indent-c-exp, calculate-c-indent): Fix indentation of line following a #-directive in C-M-Q, by doing essentially what calculate-c-indent does. New subroutine c-backward-to-start-of-if. * isearch.el: Don't allow reverse search to match a string straddling the initial value of dot. * simple.el (read-quoted-char): Handle quitting correctly (really quit unless first input char). Echo with spaces between chars and dash after even if have prompt string. Mon Jun 3 02:24:47 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * mim-mode.el, medit.el: Clean up the documentation, use \\[...] where appropriate. Change a few names. Flush binding of uppercase letters in keymaps. * shell.el (run-lisp): Make it put the *lisp* buffer in inferior-lisp-mode as claimed in NEWS. Sun Jun 2 01:52:48 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * rnews.el (news-get-pruned-list-of-files): Sort final list of files numerically. * simple.el, time.el, loadst.el (Info-directory): Process exec-directory using expand-file-name so as not to depend on whether it ends in /. * simple.el: define turn-on-auto-fill. Sat Jun 1 08:46:40 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * loaddefs.el: Update documentation for rmail. * lisp-mode.el (calculate-lisp-indent): Asked (fboundp 'lisp-indent-hook). Right question is boundp. * scheme-mode.el (calculate-scheme-indent): Ditto. * compile.el (next-error): Missed a \\[...]. * buff-menu.el: Use \\[...]. Disambiguate documentation of q command (read as if you marked buffers with > instead of m, now mention mark `>' and what command you use to make one). * loaddefs.el: Put \ in front of \[ where needed. ' next-error in autoload definition. Fix typo in electric-buffer-list documentation (also fix in ebuff-menu). Sat Jun 1 04:51:31 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * Many files: put in \\[...] where appropriate. Sat Jun 1 03:41:17 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * shell.el (run-lisp): Make it interactive since loaddefs claims it is. Sat Jun 1 01:03:09 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * isearch.el: Fix quit logic since condition signaled is `quit' now. Don't reprint echo area if have buffered ^G to handle. Fri May 31 21:40:16 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * c-mode.el (c-backward-to-noncomment): Still failed to terminate in some cases (after many #include's and #defines, comments at beginning of file). Now stop if looking at # and dot <= lim. It guarantees termination but does it leave dot at right place for indenter? Fri May 31 20:01:18 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * simple.el (help-for-help): Lookup in help-map explicitly; calling help-command no longer works. * mlconvert.el (fixup-mlisp-syntax): Skip strings and comments properly. Handle \ in char constants. * mlconvert.el (fixup-mlisp-symbols): Skip strings, comments, char constants. Find symbols even if they have no letters in them. * mlsupport.el: Insert symbol-value call in use-local-map. Handle key codes > 127 in local-bind-to-key. Write ml-modify-syntax-entry. Thu May 30 12:49:48 1985 Richard Mlynarik (mly at mit-prep) * sendmail.el Typo made sendmail-send-it lose when mail-interactive * simple.el Aborting out of octal read in read-quoted-char restarts "from the top." * startup.el Catch another place where \\[..] was needed Don't insert copyright info if noninteractive Thu May 30 06:04:56 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * lisp-mode.el (lisp-send-defun): Make it interactive since it's on a key. Also, indent lambda like defun. * view.el: Improve documentation. Add isearch, previous and next line (useful in conjunction with recenter and argument). Flush repeat last command because it really does not repeat all commands. Make space quit in help scrolling if no more to scroll. Thu May 30 03:25:55 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * simple.el: Use \\[...] in doc strings when appropriate. * simple.el (blink-matching-paren): Avoid error when (dot) - (dot-min) < 2. * simple.el (help-command): Function help-command flushed. C-h now defined as prefix character. * startup.el: Use substitute-command-keys in printing startup message. * simple.el: Define advertised-undo == undo, to force startup msg to say C-x u rather than C-_. Wed May 29 01:57:33 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * rmail.el: Add C-r command (rmail-edit-current-message) and its commands. Separated out part of rmail-mode as rmail-mode-1. * Rename some files so all .el & .elc file names are <= 14 chars. syntax-check-mim.el => mim-syntax.el (change in mim-mode.el too). new-version-level.el => grow-vers.el. scheme-mode.el => scheme.el compare-windows.el => compare-w.el electric-buffer-list.el => ebuff-menu.el Tue May 28 10:55:20 1985 Richard Mlynarik (mly at mit-prep) * simple.el (describe-function) bind enable-recursive-minibuffers to read fn name (useful when typing c-h f after m-esc) * files.el made create-file-buffer a lisp function (was in src/buffer.c) * electric-buffer-menu-mode.el If the first character typed is a space then quit, ie return to previous window/buffer configuration Mon May 27 00:05:21 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * fill.el (fill-region-as-paragraph): It was filling to width (1- fill-column) except on the last line of a paragraph. Also make it not delete excess spaces in paragraph indentation, delete fill prefixes before checking for excess spaces. Sat May 25 06:29:29 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * c-mode.el: c-backward-to-noncomment failed to terminate on LF after #include at beginning of buffer. Make it stop if it sees bobp in such cases. * isearch.el: isearch was doing (push-mark odot) inside save-window-excursion, which loses. Move to outside of save-window-excursion. Fri May 24 05:15:54 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * loaddefs.el: Update documentation strings for dired, byte-recompile-directory. Correct some typos and spelling errors. Fri May 24 00:42:59 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * add-log.el: Don't make double blank line when adding to existing entry. Thu May 23 22:42:31 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * sendmail.el (mail-yank-original): Arg other than C-u is # columns to indent. * lisp-mode.el: Provide default definition of lisp-send-defun, to just get an error. * shell.el: rename lisp to run-lisp. * loaddefs.el: make run-lisp autoloading. Thu May 23 14:59:54 1985 Richard Mlynarik (mly at mit-prep) * files.el FOO! Local-variables weren't working since hack-local-variables was searching for "\n^L" not "\n\^L" * lisp-mode.el, loadup.el, startup.el renamed lisp-interaction-mode to elisp-interaction-mode Made elisp-mode call elisp-mode-hook, elisp-interaction-mode call elisp-interaction-mode-hook. This will break people's init files! * loaddefs.el made ".lisp" suffixes get lisp mode. Toto, I don't think we're using fourteen-character filenames anymore. Autoload scheme-mode * scheme-mode.el installed scheme-mode, courtesy MIT scheme people. * lisp-mode.el made mode doc strings use \[...] substitute-command-keys technology Thu May 23 02:17:56 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * lisp-mode.el: Renamed lisp-mode to elisp-mode and external-lisp-mode to lisp-mode. Renamed ...-map variables likewise. * loaddefs.el: Made ".el" files use elisp-mode; ".scm" files use scheme-mode. Wed May 22 22:21:59 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * tags.el (visit-tag-table): If tags file has changed since last read in, offer to read it again. Wed May 22 05:56:46 1985 Richard Mlynarik (mly at mit-prep) * nrnews.el Foo. A distinct lack of communication here. Fairly radical surgery --- many bug fixes and clarifications, quite different from rnews.el Sigh Wed May 22 05:01:47 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * view.el Add new flavor of help. ?, h still give list of commands. C-h understands m, c, k options. Make help commands use pop up window with scroll on space. * loaddefs.el Minor change for documentation of view-file and view-buffer because C-h does not describe mode now. Wed May 22 01:21:24 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * rnews.el: news-go-to-news-group: don't get confusing error if arg is nil. Print messages describing change of groups here, not in callers. Accept interactive string arg. news-next-group: combine with news-move-to-group. Change so arg N means go forward N groups. Don't print any messages. news-previous-group: call news-next-group. Don't print any messages. news-move-to-message: simplify by using news-previous-group. Also, most messages were spurious. news-goto-news-group: it had duplicate definitions. Flushed both of them; use news-go-to-news-group instead. various: standardized elipses in messages. Use error rather than message where appropriate. Tue May 21 06:42:12 1985 Richard Mlynarik (mly at mit-prep) * mlsupport: Fixs assorted typos where variable "bufname" was changed to "name" * view.el Make M-<, M-> work. Fix documentation strings to work with the combination of lisp quoting and substitute-command-keys quoting. * electric-buffer-list.el Call Buffer-menu-execute before selecting. (Why doesn't standard buffer-menu-mode do this?) Flush "x", "1" and "2" commands * buff-menu.el: Call bury-buffer after selecting new buffer. Make things work when pop-up-windows is nil. Tue May 21 05:40:18 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * view.el: Flush skip commands since they dont make much sense. Make searches, goto-line's center display at point found with dot at beginning of line. Use mark ring and provide mark manipulation commands. C-l is recenter. Improve documentation. Tue May 21 01:07:52 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * loadup.el: Copy DOCSTR rather than renaming it. * sendmail.el (mail-yank-original): If have numeric arg, don't delete header fields and don't indent. Mon May 20 02:35:00 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * rmail.el (rmail-get-new-mail): Pass the proper arg to delete-file. Don't always say "no new mail has arrived". * sendmail.el (mail-send-and-exit): Bury the *mail* buffer. Sun May 19 16:05:08 1985 Richard Mlynarik (mly at mit-prep) * view.el, dired.el typos in viewing stuff * simple.el, isearch.el Added prompt argument to read-quoted-char; improved isearch input echoing when reading quoted char. * sendmail.el, loaddefs.el added send-mail-function; initially sendmail-send-it (also, mail-yank-ignored-headers had a typo) * rmail.el (rmail-get-new-mail, convert-to-babyl-format, ...) loaddefs.el Remodularize inbox parsing. Add support(?) for mmdf inboxes. Note that I can't seem to define definitive documentation of what this format is; however the code installed seems to work for all cases encountered Sun May 19 15:36:12 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * rmail.el (rmail-get-new-mail): Pass the proper arg to delete-file. * view.el: Change to use recursive-edit for its command loop. Define < and > commands. * files.el (backup-buffer): Get error if about to rename a directory. Sat May 18 11:30:36 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * view.el, more-mode.el: Latter flushed in favor of former. view-mode preserves concept of more-mode but uses non-standard command loop so that viewed buffer is unchanged on exit from mode. * dired.el, loaddefs.el: Changed to use view.el. Change documentation of dired-listing-switches to note importance of excluding 'F' option. Fri May 17 01:25:31 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * isearch.el: Preserve window-start on exit from save-window-excursion Thu May 16 18:34:37 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * rmail.el: correct read-only suppression in rmail-new-summary. Thu May 16 15:38:32 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * loaddefs.el: Autoload more-mode, more-file, more-buffer. * more-mode.el: New tourist mode for files. * dired.el: Put more-file on v-iew in dired. Returns to dired when user quits more. Thu May 16 12:23:29 1985 Richard Mlynarik (mly at mit-prep) * simple.el: make i run info * sundry changes to go with changes in src/fileio.c making copy-file, rename-file, add-name take an optional third argument. The only autoloaded system code this breaks is rmail --- a condition-case for wrong-number-of-arguments kludge was installed there in two places to make things work until everybody is running an emacs which takes the extra arg (marked "** KLUDGE **".) Remember to remove the kludge at that time! Mods to files.el, loadup.el, rmail.el * added autoloading function electic-buffer-list * buff-menu.el: make splitting screen between > 2 buffers work Thu May 16 03:23:38 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-prep) * dired.el: Put dired-rename-file, dired-copy file-on keys. Make them change buffer if appropriate. Put dired-mark-backup-files, dired-mark-temp-files on keys. Eliminate possibility of looping at last line in dired-repeat-over-filenames. Wed May 15 00:47:03 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-grape-nehi) * dired.el: Fix bug in dired-noselect which caused dired of / to get buffer name of /default/directory// with contents of /. Mon May 13 18:58:03 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * isearch.el: Add crl's slow isearch code, plus changes: use variable isearch-slow-speed to control whether to use it. Also fix ^W inside reverse isearch with nonempty search string. * loadup.el: Flush the "inc" switch. * inc-version.el: Kill Emacs at the end. * simple.el: fixed overflow problem in what-cursor-position. * startup.el: Don't print a help message if noninteractive. Mon May 13 01:04:38 1985 K. Shane Hartman (shane at mit-ajax) * replace.el: Add ?^ to list of special characters in query replace loop so that replacing continues after moving back to previous. * add-log.el: add prefix arg to add-change-log-entry so will prompt for information if desired. If there is an entry for today, make sure login-name is same before using it, else make new entry. Use auto-fill-mode. Sun May 12 17:00:00 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) * lisp-mode.el: defined lisp-mode-commands, lisp-mode-variables. Added external-lisp-mode. Made doc strings mention mode hook variables. * shell.el: defined functions `lisp' and `inferior-lisp-mode'. Renamed shell-send-defun... to lisp-send-defun... and made them use process "lisp", buffer *lisp*. * text-mode.el: made indented-text-mode not call text-mode. Made doc strings mention mode hook variables. * c-mode.el: Made doc strings mention mode hook variables. * add-log.el Change format used for change log entries. Select indented-text-mode for the change log file. Sun May 12 04:01:21 1985 Shane (shane at mit-ajax) simple.el: suppress matching close paren if preceded by char syntax \. mim-mode.el: flush private paren blinker in favor of default. add-log.el: change mode-string to mode-name so reflected in mode-line. change \\W to \\sW when looking for place to add. Sun May 12 04:01:21 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) simple.el: modified open-line to insert newlines before an existing one before dot. This makes better redisplay. dired.el: Installed Shane's changes that allow user to choose switches to use. Sat May 11 16:23:19 1985 Richard M. Stallman (rms at mit-prep) rmail.el: if given file name as argument, correctly displays one message of that file but does not try to get new mail. simple.el: Fix what-line bug: line # too high by 1 if not at bol. Put in blink-matching-paren-distance, and check for wrong kinds of parens matching. time.el: Put in display-time-day-and-date flag, to display day and date in addition to the time. startup.el: Call lisp-interaction-mode-hook if defined. Set current buffer variables from defaults in case user's init file has changed them. Local Variables: mode: indented-text eval: (auto-fill-mode 1) left-margin: 8 fill-column: 74 version-control: never End:
