Since the location of those files changes between build time and installation time, this requires to tweak the file name used in those (#$ . NNN) references during the dump so they don't hardcode the build directory. We do it in the same way as was already done for those same file names in `load-history`, except we convert them back to absolute file names more lazily (i.e. when fetching the actual docstring rather than at startup), which requires remembering the `lisp-dir` computed at startup in the new `lisp-directory` variable. * src/Makefile.in ($(etc)/DOC): Don't scan Lisp files any more. * src/lread.c (Fload): Use relative file names for `load-file-name` when preloading for the dump, like we already did for `current-load-list`. (read_list): Don't zero-out dynamic docstring references during the preload since they won't be filled later by Snarf-documentation any more. (read1): Remove the hash-hack for doc references that were zeroed. * lisp/startup.el (lisp-directory): New variable. (command-line): Set it. * src/doc.c (get_doc_string): Use `lisp-directory` for dynamic docstring references using relative file names. (syms_of_doc): Add `Qlisp_directory`. * lib-src/make-docfile.c (scan_file): Don't handle `.el` or `.elc` files any more. (IS_SLASH): Remove macro, not used any more. (skip_white, read_lisp_symbol, search_lisp_doc_at_eol) (scan_lisp_file): Remove functions, not used any more. * doc/lispref/loading.texi (Library Search): Mention `lisp-directory`.

||
* Installation Changes in Emacs 29.1
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** Emacs can be built with built-in support for accessing SQLite databases.
|
||
This uses the popular sqlite3 library, and can be disabled by using
|
||
the '--without-sqlite3' option to the 'configure' script.
|
||
|
||
** Emacs has been ported to the Haiku operating system.
|
||
The configuration process should automatically detect and build for
|
||
Haiku. There is also an optional window-system port to Haiku, which
|
||
can be enabled by configuring Emacs with the option '--with-be-app',
|
||
which will require the Haiku Application Kit development headers and a
|
||
C++ compiler to be present on your system. If Emacs is not built with
|
||
the option '--with-be-app', the resulting Emacs will only run in
|
||
text-mode terminals.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Cairo drawing support has been enabled for Haiku builds.
|
||
To enable Cairo support, ensure that the Cairo and FreeType
|
||
development files are present on your system, and configure Emacs with
|
||
'--with-be-cairo'.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Double buffering is now enabled on the Haiku operating system.
|
||
Unlike X, there is no compile-time option to enable or disable
|
||
double-buffering. If you wish to disable double-buffering, change the
|
||
frame parameter 'inhibit-double-buffering' instead.
|
||
|
||
** Emacs now installs the ".pdmp" file using a unique fingerprint in the name.
|
||
The file is typically installed using a file name akin to
|
||
"...dir/libexec/emacs/29.1/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/emacs-<fingerprint>.pdmp".
|
||
If a constant file name is required, the file can be renamed to
|
||
"emacs.pdmp", and Emacs will find it during startup anyway.
|
||
|
||
** Emacs now supports use of XInput 2 for input events.
|
||
If your X server has support and you have the XInput 2 development headers
|
||
installed, you can configure Emacs with the option '--with-xinput2' to enable
|
||
this support.
|
||
|
||
The named feature 'xinput2' can be used to test for the presence of
|
||
XInput 2 support from Lisp programs.
|
||
|
||
** Emacs now supports being built with pure GTK.
|
||
To use this option, make sure the GTK 3 and Cairo development files
|
||
are installed, and configure Emacs with the option '--with-pgtk'.
|
||
Unlike the default X and GTK build, the resulting Emacs binary will
|
||
work on any underlying window system supported by GDK, such as
|
||
Wayland and Broadway.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** The docstrings of preloaded files are not in etc/DOC any more.
|
||
Instead, they're fetched from the corresponding '.elc' file, as was already
|
||
the case for all the non-preloaded files.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Startup Changes in Emacs 29.1
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** Emacs now has a '--fingerprint' option.
|
||
This will output a string identifying the current Emacs build.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New hook 'after-pdump-load-hook'.
|
||
This is run at the end of the Emacs startup process, and it meant to
|
||
be used to reinitialize structures that would normally be done at load
|
||
time.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Incompatible changes in Emacs 29.1
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** Support for old EIEIO functions is not autoloaded any more.
|
||
You need an explicit (require 'eieio-compat) to use 'defmethod'
|
||
and 'defgeneric' (which have been made obsolete in Emacs-25 with
|
||
'cl-defmethod' and 'cl-defgeneric').
|
||
Similarly you might need to (require 'eieio-compat) before loading
|
||
files that were compiled with an old EIEIO (Emacs<25).
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** 'C-x 8 .' has been moved to 'C-x 8 . .'.
|
||
This is to open up the 'C-x 8 .' map to bind further characters there.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in Emacs 29.1
|
||
|
||
** New command 'sqlite-mode-open-file' for examining an sqlite3 file.
|
||
This uses the new 'sqlite-mode' which allows listing the tables in a
|
||
DB file, and examining and modifying the columns and the contents of
|
||
those tables.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** 'write-file' will now copy some file mode bits.
|
||
If the current buffer is visiting a file that is executable, the
|
||
'C-x C-w' command will now make the new file executable, too.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New user option 'process-error-pause-time'.
|
||
This determines how long to pause Emacs after a process
|
||
filter/sentinel error has been handled.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New face 'variable-pitch-text'.
|
||
This face is like 'variable-pitch' (from which it inherits), but is
|
||
slightly larger, which should help with the visual size differences
|
||
between the default, non-proportional font and proportional fonts when
|
||
mixed.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New face 'mode-line-active'.
|
||
This inherits from the 'mode-line' face, but is the face actually used
|
||
on the mode lines (along with 'mode-line-inactive').
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New function 'buffer-text-pixel-size'.
|
||
This is similar to 'window-text-pixel-size', but can be used when the
|
||
buffer isn't displayed.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New X resource: "borderThickness".
|
||
This controls the thickness of the external borders of the menu bars
|
||
and pop-up menus.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** New minor mode 'pixel-scroll-precision-mode'.
|
||
When enabled, and if your mouse supports it, you can scroll the
|
||
display up or down at pixel resolution, according to what your mouse
|
||
wheel reports. Unlike 'pixel-scroll-mode', this mode scrolls the
|
||
display pixel-by-pixel, as opposed to only animating line-by-line
|
||
scrolls.
|
||
|
||
** Terminal Emacs
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Emacs will now use 24-bit colors on terminals that support "Tc" capability.
|
||
This is in addition to previously-supported ways of discovering 24-bit
|
||
color support: either via the "RGB" or "setf24" capabilities, or if
|
||
the 'COLORTERM' environment variable is set to the value "truecolor".
|
||
|
||
** ERT
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New ERT variables 'ert-batch-print-length' and 'ert-batch-print-level'.
|
||
These variables will override 'print-length' and 'print-level' when
|
||
printing Lisp values in ERT batch test results.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Redefining an ERT test in batch mode now signals an error.
|
||
Executing 'ert-deftest' with the same name as an existing test causes
|
||
the previous definition to be discarded, which was probably not
|
||
intended when this occurs in batch mode. To remedy the error, rename
|
||
tests so that they all have unique names.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** ERT can generate JUnit test reports.
|
||
When environment variable 'EMACS_TEST_JUNIT_REPORT' is set, ERT
|
||
generates a JUnit test report under this file name. This is useful
|
||
for Emacs integration into CI/CD test environments.
|
||
|
||
*** Unbound test symbols now signal an 'ert-test-unbound' error.
|
||
This affects the 'ert-select-tests' function and its callers.
|
||
|
||
** Emoji
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Emacs now has several new methods for inserting Emojis.
|
||
The Emoji commands are under the new 'C-x 8 e' prefix.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New command 'emoji-insert' (bound to 'C-x 8 e e' and 'C-x 8 e i').
|
||
This command guides you through various Emoji categories and
|
||
combinations in a graphical menu system.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New command 'emoji-search' (bound to 'C-x 8 e s').
|
||
This command lets you search for Emojis based on names.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New command 'emoji-list' (bound to 'C-x 8 e l').
|
||
This command lists all Emojis (categorized by themes) in a special
|
||
buffer and lets you choose one of them.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New command 'emoji-recent' (bound to 'C-x 8 e r').
|
||
This command lets you choose among the Emojis you have recently
|
||
inserted.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New command 'emoji-describe' (bound to 'C-x 8 e d').
|
||
This command will tell you the name of the Emoji at point. (This
|
||
command also works for non-Emoji characters.)
|
||
|
||
** Help
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** 'C-h b' uses outlining by default.
|
||
Set 'describe-bindings-outline' to nil to get the old behavior.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Jumping to function/variable source now saves mark before moving point.
|
||
Jumping to source from "*Help*" buffer moves the point when the source
|
||
buffer is already open. Now, the old point is pushed to mark ring.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New key bindings in "*Help*" buffers: 'n' and 'p'.
|
||
These will take you (respectively) to the next and previous "page".
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** 'describe-char' now also outputs the name of emoji combinations.
|
||
|
||
** Outline Minor Mode
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New user option 'outline-minor-mode-use-buttons'.
|
||
If non-nil, Outline Minor Mode will use buttons to hide/show outlines
|
||
in addition to the ellipsis. Default nil.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New user option 'outline-minor-mode-buttons'.
|
||
This is a list of pairs of open/close strings used to display buttons.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** Support for the WebP image format.
|
||
This support is built by default when the libwebp library is
|
||
available. To disable it, use the '--without-webp' configure flag.
|
||
Image specifiers can now use ':type webp'.
|
||
|
||
** Windows
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** 'display-buffer' now can set up the body size of the chosen window.
|
||
For example, a 'display-buffer-alist' entry of
|
||
|
||
'(window-width . (body-columns . 40))'
|
||
|
||
will make the body of the chosen window 40 columns wide. For the
|
||
height use 'window-height' in combination with 'body-lines'.
|
||
|
||
** Tab Bars and Tab Lines
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** 'C-x t RET' creates a new tab when the provided tab name doesn't exist.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New keymap 'tab-bar-history-mode-map'.
|
||
By default, it contains 'C-c <left>' and 'C-c <right>' to browse
|
||
the history of tab window configurations back and forward.
|
||
|
||
** Better detection of text suspiciously reordered on display.
|
||
The function 'bidi-find-overridden-directionality' has been extended
|
||
to detect reordering effects produced by embeddings and isolates
|
||
(started by directional formatting control characters such as RLO and
|
||
LRI). The new command 'highlight-confusing-reorderings' finds and
|
||
highlights segments of buffer text whose reordering for display is
|
||
suspicious and could be malicious.
|
||
|
||
** Emacs server and client changes
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New command-line option '-r' for emacsclient.
|
||
With this command-line option, Emacs reuses an existing graphical client
|
||
frame if one exists; otherwise it creates a new frame.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** 'server-stop-automatically' can be used to automatically stop the server.
|
||
The Emacs server will be automatically stopped when certain conditions
|
||
are met. The conditions are given by the argument, which can be
|
||
'empty', 'delete-frame' or 'kill-terminal'.
|
||
|
||
* Editing Changes in Emacs 29.1
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** Indentation of 'cl-flet' and 'cl-labels' has changed.
|
||
These forms now indent like this:
|
||
|
||
(cl-flet ((bla (x)
|
||
(* x x)))
|
||
(bla 42))
|
||
|
||
This change also affects 'cl-macrolet', 'cl-flet*' and
|
||
'cl-symbol-macrolet'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New user option 'translate-upper-case-key-bindings'.
|
||
This can be set to nil to inhibit translating upper case keys to lower
|
||
case keys.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New command 'ensure-empty-lines'.
|
||
This command increases (or decreases) the number of empty lines before
|
||
point.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** Improved mouse behavior with auto-scrolling modes.
|
||
When clicking inside the 'scroll-margin' or 'hscroll-margin' region
|
||
the point is now moved only when releasing the mouse button. This no
|
||
longer results in a bogus selection, unless the mouse has been
|
||
effectively dragged.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** 'kill-ring-max' now defaults to 120.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** New user option 'yank-menu-max-items'.
|
||
Customize this option to limit the number of entries in the menu
|
||
"Edit->Paste from Kill Menu". The default is 60.
|
||
|
||
** Performing a pinch gesture on a touchpad now increases the text scale.
|
||
|
||
** show-paren-mode
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New user option 'show-paren-context-when-offscreen'.
|
||
When non-nil, if the point is in a closing delimiter and the opening
|
||
delimiter is offscreen, shows some context around the opening
|
||
delimiter in the echo area. Default nil.
|
||
|
||
** Comint
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** 'comint-term-environment' is now aware of connection-local variables.
|
||
The user option 'comint-terminfo-terminal' and variable
|
||
'system-uses-terminfo' can now be set as connection-local variables to
|
||
change the terminal used on a remote host.
|
||
|
||
** Mwheel
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New user options for alternate wheel events.
|
||
The options 'mouse-wheel-down-alternate-event', 'mouse-wheel-up-alternate-event',
|
||
'mouse-wheel-left-alternate-event', and 'mouse-wheel-right-alternate-event' have
|
||
been added to better support systems where two kinds of wheel events can be
|
||
received.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 29.1
|
||
|
||
** Minibuffer and Completions
|
||
|
||
*** The *Completions* buffer can now be automatically selected.
|
||
To enable this behavior, customize the option 'completion-auto-select'
|
||
to t. Then pressing TAB will switch to the *Completions* buffer when
|
||
it pops up that buffer.
|
||
|
||
*** New user option 'completion-wrap-movement'.
|
||
When non-nil, the commands 'next-completion' and 'previous-completion'
|
||
automatically wrap around on reaching the beginning or the end of
|
||
the *Completions* buffer.
|
||
|
||
** Isearch and Replace
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New user option 'char-fold-override' disables default character equivalences.
|
||
|
||
** New minor mode 'glyphless-display-mode'.
|
||
This allows an easy way to toggle seeing all glyphless characters in
|
||
the current buffer.
|
||
|
||
** Registers
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Buffer names can now be stored in registers.
|
||
For instance, to enable jumping to the "*Messages*" buffer with
|
||
'C-x r j m':
|
||
|
||
(set-register ?m '(buffer . "*Messages*"))
|
||
|
||
** pixel-fill
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** This is a new package that deals with filling variable-pitch text.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New function 'pixel-fill-region'.
|
||
This fills the region to be no wider than a specified pixel width.
|
||
|
||
** Info
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New command 'Info-goto-node-web' and key binding 'G'.
|
||
This will take you to the gnu.org web server's version of the current
|
||
info node. This command only works for the Emacs and Emacs Lisp manuals.
|
||
|
||
** vc
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** 'C-x v v' on an unregistered file will now use the most specific backend.
|
||
Previously, if you had an SVN-covered "~/" directory, and a Git-covered
|
||
directory in "~/foo/bar", using 'C-x v v' on a new, unregistered file
|
||
"~/foo/bar/zot" would register it in the SVN repository in "~/" instead of
|
||
in the Git repository in "~/foo/bar". This makes this command
|
||
consistent with 'vc-responsible-backend'.
|
||
|
||
** Message
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New user option 'mml-attach-file-at-the-end'.
|
||
If non-nil, 'C-c C-a' will put attached files at the end of the message.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Message Mode now supports image yanking.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New user option 'message-server-alist'.
|
||
This controls automatic insertion of the "X-Message-SMTP-Method"
|
||
header before sending a message.
|
||
|
||
** HTML Mode
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** HTML Mode now supports "text/html" and "image/*" yanking.
|
||
|
||
** Texinfo Mode
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** 'texinfo-mode' now has a specialised 'narrow-to-defun' definition.
|
||
It narrows to the current node.
|
||
|
||
** eww/shr
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New user option 'shr-allowed-images'.
|
||
This complements 'shr-blocked-images', but allows specifying just the
|
||
allowed images.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New user option 'shr-use-xwidgets-for-media'.
|
||
If non-nil (and Emacs has been built with support for xwidgets),
|
||
display <video> elements with an xwidget. Note that this is
|
||
experimental, and is known to crash Emacs on some systems, and just
|
||
doesn't work on other systems. Also see etc/PROBLEMS.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New user option 'eww-url-transformers'.
|
||
These are used to alter an URL before using it. By default it removes
|
||
the common "utm_" trackers from URLs.
|
||
|
||
** Gnus
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Gnus now uses a variable-pitch font in the headers by default.
|
||
To get the monospace font back, you can put something like the
|
||
following in your .gnus file:
|
||
|
||
(set-face-attribute 'gnus-header nil :inherit 'unspecified)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** The default value of 'gnus-treat-fold-headers' is now 'head'.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New face 'gnus-header'.
|
||
All other 'gnus-header-*' faces inherit from this face now.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New user option 'gnus-treat-emojize-symbols'.
|
||
If non-nil, symbols that have an emoji representation will be
|
||
displayed as emojis. Default nil.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New command 'gnus-article-emojize-symbols'.
|
||
This is bound to 'W D e' and will display symbols that have emoji
|
||
representation as emojis.
|
||
|
||
** EIEIO
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** 'slot-value' can now be used to access slots of 'cl-defstruct' objects.
|
||
|
||
** align
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Alignment in 'text-mode' has changed.
|
||
Previously, 'M-x align' didn't do anything, and you had to say 'C-u
|
||
M-x align' for it to work. This has now been changed. The default
|
||
regexp for 'C-u M-x align-regexp' has also been changed to be easier
|
||
for inexperienced users to use.
|
||
|
||
** eww
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New user option to automatically rename EWW buffers.
|
||
The 'eww-auto-rename-buffer' user option can be configured to rename
|
||
rendered web pages by using their title, URL, or a user-defined
|
||
function which returns a string. For the first two cases, the length
|
||
of the resulting name is controlled by 'eww-buffer-name-length'. By
|
||
default, no automatic renaming is performed.
|
||
|
||
** Help
|
||
|
||
*** New user option 'help-link-key-to-documentation'.
|
||
When this option is non-nil (which is the default), key bindings
|
||
displayed in the "*Help*" buffer will be linked to the documentation
|
||
for the command they are bound to. This does not affect listings of
|
||
key bindings and functions (such as 'C-h b').
|
||
|
||
** info-look
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** info-look specs can now be expanded at run time instead of a load time.
|
||
The new ':doc-spec-function' element can be used to compute the
|
||
':doc-spec' element when the user asks for info on that particular
|
||
mode (instead of at load time).
|
||
|
||
** subr-x
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New macro 'with-memoization' provides a very primitive form of memoization.
|
||
|
||
** ansi-color
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Support for ANSI 256-color and 24-bit colors.
|
||
256-color and 24-bit color codes are now handled by ANSI color
|
||
filters and displayed with the specified color.
|
||
|
||
** term-mode
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Support for ANSI 256-color and 24-bit colors, italic and other fonts.
|
||
Term-mode can now display 256-color and 24-bit color codes. It can
|
||
also handle ANSI codes for faint, italic and blinking text, displaying
|
||
it with new 'term-{faint,italic,slow-blink,fast-blink}' faces.
|
||
|
||
** Xref
|
||
|
||
*** 'project-find-file' and 'project-or-external-find-file' now accept
|
||
a prefix argument which is interpreted to mean "include all files".
|
||
|
||
*** 'project-kill-buffers' can display the list of buffers to kill.
|
||
Customize the user option 'project-kill-buffers-display-buffer-list'
|
||
to enable the display of the buffer list.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New command 'xref-go-forward'.
|
||
It is bound to 'C-M-,' and jumps to the location where 'xref-go-back'
|
||
('M-,', also known as 'xref-pop-marker-stack') was invoked previously.
|
||
|
||
** File notifications
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** The new command 'file-notify-rm-all-watches' removes all file notifications.
|
||
|
||
** Sql
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Sql now supports sending of passwords in-process.
|
||
To improve security, if an sql product has ':password-in-comint' set
|
||
to t, a password supplied via the minibuffer will be sent in-process,
|
||
as opposed to via the command-line.
|
||
|
||
** Image Mode
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New command 'image-transform-fit-to-window'.
|
||
This command fits the image to the current window by scaling down or
|
||
up as necessary. Unlike 'image-transform-fit-both', this does not
|
||
only scale the image down, but up as well. It is bound to "s w" in
|
||
Image Mode by default.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** 'image-transform-fit-to-(height|width)' are now obsolete.
|
||
Use the new command 'image-transform-fit-to-window' instead.
|
||
The keybinding for 'image-transform-fit-to-width' is now 's i'.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** User option 'image-auto-resize' can now be set to 'fit-window'.
|
||
This works like 'image-transform-fit-to-window'.
|
||
|
||
*** New user option 'image-auto-resize-max-scale-percent'.
|
||
The new 'fit-window' option will never scale an image more than this
|
||
much (in percent). It is nil by default, which means no limit.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New user option 'image-text-based-formats'.
|
||
This controls whether or not to show a message when opening certain
|
||
image formats saying how to edit it as text. The default is to show
|
||
this message for SVG and XPM.
|
||
|
||
** Image-Dired
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** 'image-dired-display-image-mode' is now based on 'image-mode'.
|
||
This avoids converting images in the background, and makes Image-Dired
|
||
noticeably faster. New keybindings from 'image-mode' are now
|
||
available in the "*image-dired-display-image*" buffer; press '?' or
|
||
'h' in that buffer to see the full list. Finally, some commands and
|
||
user options that are no longer needed are now obsolete:
|
||
'image-dired-cmd-create-temp-image-options',
|
||
'image-dired-cmd-create-temp-image-program',
|
||
'image-dired-display-current-image-full',
|
||
'image-dired-display-current-image-sized',
|
||
'image-dired-display-window-height-correction',
|
||
'image-dired-display-window-width-correction',
|
||
'image-dired-temp-image-file'.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Navigation and marking commands now work in image display buffer.
|
||
The following new bindings have been added:
|
||
|
||
n / SPC image-dired-display-next-thumbnail-original
|
||
p / DEL image-dired-display-previous-thumbnail-original
|
||
m image-dired-mark-thumb-original-file
|
||
d image-dired-flag-thumb-original-file
|
||
u image-dired-unmark-thumb-original-file
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Reduce dependency on external "exiftool" command.
|
||
The 'image-dired-copy-with-exif-file-name' no longer requires an
|
||
external "exiftool" command to be available. The user options
|
||
'image-dired-cmd-read-exif-data-program' and
|
||
'image-dired-cmd-read-exif-data-options' are now obsolete.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New command for the thumbnail buffer.
|
||
The new command 'image-dired-unmark-all-marks' has been added. It is
|
||
bound to 'U' in the thumbnail and display buffer.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Support Thumbnail Managing Standard v0.9.0 (Dec 2020).
|
||
This standard allows sharing generated thumbnails across different
|
||
programs. Version 0.9.0 adds two larger thumbnail sizes: 512x512 and
|
||
1024x1024 pixels. See the user option 'image-dired-thumbnail-storage'
|
||
to use it; it is not enabled by default.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Support GraphicsMagick command line tools.
|
||
Support for the GraphicsMagick command line tool ("gm") has been
|
||
added, and is used instead of ImageMagick when it is available.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New face 'image-dired-thumb-flagged'.
|
||
If 'image-dired-thumb-mark' is non-nil (the default), this face is
|
||
used for images that are flagged for deletion in the Dired buffer
|
||
associated with Image-Dired.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** 'image-dired-slideshow-start' is now bound to 'S'.
|
||
It is bound in both the thumbnail and display buffer.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** The 'image-dired-slideshow-start' command no longer prompts.
|
||
It no longer inconveniently prompts for a number of images and a
|
||
delay: it runs indefinitely, but stops automatically on any command.
|
||
You can set the delay with a prefix argument, or a negative prefix
|
||
argument to prompt for a delay. Customize the user option
|
||
'image-dired-slideshow-delay' to change the default from 5 seconds.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Support for bookmark.el.
|
||
The command 'bookmark-set' (bound to 'C-x r m') is now supported in
|
||
the thumbnail view, and will create a bookmark that opens the current
|
||
directory in Image-Dired.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New user option 'image-dired-marking-shows-next'.
|
||
If this option is non-nil (the default), marking, unmarking or
|
||
flagging an image in either the thumbnail or display buffer shows the
|
||
next image.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Image information is now shown in the header line.
|
||
This replaces the message most navigation commands in the thumbnail
|
||
buffer used to show at the bottom of the screen.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** 'image-dired-show-all-from-dir-max-files' has been increased to 500.
|
||
This option controls asking for confirmation when starting Image-Dired
|
||
in a directory with many files. However, Image-Dired creates
|
||
thumbnails in the background these days, so this is not as important
|
||
as it used to be, back when entering a large directory could lock up
|
||
Emacs for tens of seconds. In addition, you can now customize this
|
||
option to nil to disable this confirmation completely.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Make 'image-dired-rotate-thumbnail-(left|right)' obsolete.
|
||
Instead, use 'M-x image-dired-refresh-thumb' to generate a new
|
||
thumbnail, or 'M-x image-rotate' to rotate the thumbnail without
|
||
updating the thumbnail file.
|
||
|
||
** Dired
|
||
|
||
*** New user option 'dired-free-space'.
|
||
Dired will now, by default, include the free space in the first line
|
||
instead of having it on a separate line. To get the previous behavior
|
||
back, say:
|
||
|
||
(setq dired-free-space 'separate)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New user option 'dired-make-directory-clickable'.
|
||
If non-nil (which is the default), hitting 'RET' or 'mouse-1' on
|
||
the directory components at the directory displayed at the start of
|
||
the buffer will take you to that directory.
|
||
|
||
** Exif
|
||
|
||
*** New function 'exif-field'.
|
||
This is a convenience function to extract the field data from
|
||
'exif-parse-file' and 'exif-parse-buffer'.
|
||
|
||
** Xwidgets
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New user option 'xwidget-webkit-buffer-name-format'.
|
||
Using this option you can control how the xwidget-webkit buffers are
|
||
named.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New user option 'xwidget-webkit-cookie-file'.
|
||
Using this option you can control whether the xwidget-webkit buffers
|
||
save cookies set by web pages, and if so, in which file to save them.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New minor mode 'xwidget-webkit-edit-mode'.
|
||
When this mode is enabled, self-inserting characters and other common
|
||
web browser shortcut keys are redefined to send themselves to the
|
||
WebKit widget.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New minor mode 'xwidget-webkit-isearch-mode'.
|
||
This mode acts similarly to incremental search, and allows searching
|
||
the contents of a WebKit widget. In xwidget-webkit mode, it is bound
|
||
to 'C-s' and 'C-r'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New command 'xwidget-webkit-browse-history'.
|
||
This command displays a buffer containing the page load history of
|
||
the current WebKit widget, and allows you to navigate it.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** On X11, the WebKit inspector is now available inside xwidgets.
|
||
To access the inspector, right click on the widget and select "Inspect
|
||
Element".
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** "Open in New Window" in a WebKit widget's context menu now works.
|
||
The newly created buffer will be displayed via 'display-buffer', which
|
||
can be customized through the usual mechanism of 'display-buffer-alist'
|
||
and friends.
|
||
|
||
** Tramp
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Tramp supports abbreviating remote home directories now.
|
||
When calling 'abbreviate-file-name' on a Tramp filename, the result
|
||
will abbreviate the user's home directory, for example by abbreviating
|
||
"/ssh:user@host:/home/user" to "/ssh:user@host:~".
|
||
|
||
** Browse URL
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Support for the Netscape web browser has been removed.
|
||
This support has been obsolete since Emacs 25.1. The final version of
|
||
the Netscape web browser was released in February, 2008.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Support for the Galeon web browser has been removed.
|
||
This support has been obsolete since Emacs 25.1. The final version of
|
||
the Galeon web browser was released in September, 2008.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* New Modes and Packages in Emacs 29.1
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New mode 'erts-mode'.
|
||
This mode is used to edit files geared towards testing actions in
|
||
Emacs buffers, like indentation and the like. The new ert function
|
||
'ert-test-erts-file' is used to parse these files.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 29.1
|
||
|
||
** User option 'mail-source-ignore-errors' is now obsolete.
|
||
The whole mechanism for prompting users to continue in case of
|
||
mail-source errors has been removed, so this option is no longer
|
||
needed.
|
||
|
||
** Fonts
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Emacs now supports 'medium' fonts.
|
||
Emacs previously didn't distinguish between the 'regular'/'normal'
|
||
weight and the 'medium' weight, but it now also supports the (heavier)
|
||
'medium' weight. However, this means that if you previously specified
|
||
a weight of 'normal' and the font doesn't have this weight, Emacs
|
||
won't find the font spec. In these cases, replacing ":weight 'normal"
|
||
with ":weight 'medium" should fix the issue.
|
||
|
||
** Keymap descriptions have changed.
|
||
'help--describe-command', 'C-h b' and associated functions that output
|
||
keymap descriptions have changed. In particular, prefix commands are
|
||
not output at all, and instead of "??" for closures/functions,
|
||
"[closure]"/"[lambda]" is output.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** 'downcase' details have changed slightly.
|
||
In certain locales, changing the case of an ASCII-range character may
|
||
turn it into a multibyte character, most notably with "I" in Turkish
|
||
(the lowercase is "ı", 0x0131). Previously, 'downcase' on a unibyte
|
||
string was buggy, and would mistakenly just return the lower byte of
|
||
this, 0x31 (the digit "1"). 'downcase' on a unibyte string has now
|
||
been changed to downcase such characters as if they were ASCII. To
|
||
get proper locale-dependent downcasing, the string has to be converted
|
||
to multibyte first. (This goes for the other case-changing functions,
|
||
too.)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** Functions in 'tramp-foreign-file-name-handler-alist' have changed.
|
||
Functions to determine which Tramp file name handler to use are now
|
||
passed a file name in dissected form (via 'tramp-dissect-file-name')
|
||
instead of in string form.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** 'def' indentation changes.
|
||
In 'emacs-lisp-mode', forms with a symbol with a name that start with
|
||
"def" have been automatically indented as if they were 'defun'-like
|
||
forms, for instance:
|
||
|
||
(defzot 1
|
||
2 3)
|
||
|
||
This heuristic has now been removed, and all functions/macros that
|
||
want to be indented this way have to be marked with
|
||
|
||
(declare (indent defun))
|
||
|
||
or the like. If the function/macro definition itself can't be
|
||
changed, the indentation can also be adjusted by saying something
|
||
like:
|
||
|
||
(put 'defzot 'lisp-indent-function 'defun)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** The 'inhibit-changing-match-data' variable is now obsolete.
|
||
Instead, functions like 'string-match' and 'looking-at' now take an
|
||
optional 'inhibit-modify' argument.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** 'gnus-define-keys' is now obsolete.
|
||
Use 'define-keymap' instead.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** MozRepl has been removed from js.el.
|
||
MozRepl was removed from Firefox in 2017, so this code doesn't work
|
||
with recent versions of Firefox.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** The function 'image-dired-get-exif-data' is now obsolete.
|
||
Use 'exif-parse-file' and 'exif-field' instead.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** 'insert-directory' alternatives should not change the free disk space line.
|
||
This change is now applied in 'dired-insert-directory'.
|
||
|
||
** Some functions and variables obsolete since Emacs 23 have been removed:
|
||
'find-emacs-lisp-shadows', 'newsticker-cache-filename',
|
||
'unify-8859-on-decoding-mode', 'unify-8859-on-encoding-mode',
|
||
'vc-arch-command'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** Base64 encoding no longer tolerates latin-1 input.
|
||
The functions 'base64-encode-string', 'base64url-encode-string',
|
||
'base64-encode-region' and 'base64url-encode-region' no longer accept
|
||
characters in the range U+0080..U+00FF as substitutes for single bytes
|
||
in the range 128..255, but signal an error for all multibyte characters.
|
||
The input must be encoded text.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Lisp Changes in Emacs 29.1
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New variable 'lisp-directory' holds the directory of Emacs's own Lisp files.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New facility for handling session state: 'multisession-value'.
|
||
This can be used as a convenient way to store (simple) application
|
||
state, and 'M-x list-multisession-values' allows users to list
|
||
(and edit) this data.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New function 'get-display-property'.
|
||
This is like 'get-text-property', but works on the 'display' text
|
||
property.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New function 'add-text-display-property'.
|
||
This is like 'put-text-property', but works on the 'display' text
|
||
property.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New 'min-width' 'display' property.
|
||
This allows setting a minimum display width for a region of text.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New event type 'touch-end'.
|
||
This event is sent whenever the user's finger moves off the mouse
|
||
wheel on some mice, or when the user's finger moves off the touchpad.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New event type 'pinch'.
|
||
This event is sent when a user peforms a pinch gesture on a touchpad,
|
||
which is comprised of placing two fingers on the touchpad and moving
|
||
them towards or away from each other.
|
||
|
||
** Keymaps and key definitions
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New functions for defining and manipulating keystrokes have been added.
|
||
These all take just the syntax defined by 'key-valid-p'. None of the
|
||
older functions have been depreciated or altered, but are deemphasised
|
||
in the documentation.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Use 'keymap-set' instead of 'define-key'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Use 'keymap-global-set' instead of 'global-set-key'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Use 'keymap-local-set' instead of 'local-set-key'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Use 'keymap-global-unset' instead of 'global-unset-key'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Use 'keymap-local-unset' instead of 'local-unset-key'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Use 'keymap-substitute' instead of 'substitute-key-definition'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Use 'keymap-set-after' instead of 'define-key-after'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Use 'keymap-lookup' instead of 'lookup-keymap' and 'key-binding'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Use 'keymap-local-lookup' instead of 'local-key-binding'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Use 'keymap-global-lookup' instead of 'global-key-binding'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** 'define-key' now takes an optional REMOVE argument.
|
||
If non-nil, remove the definition from the keymap. This is subtly
|
||
different from setting a definition to nil (when the keymap has a
|
||
parent).
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** 'read-multiple-choice' now takes an optional SHOW-HELP argument.
|
||
If non-nil, show the help buffer immediately, before any user input.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New function 'key-valid-p'.
|
||
The 'kbd' function is quite permissive, and will try to return
|
||
something usable even if the syntax of the argument isn't completely
|
||
correct. The 'key-valid-p' predicate does a stricter check of the
|
||
syntax.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New function 'key-parse'.
|
||
This is like 'kbd', but only returns vectors instead of a mix of
|
||
vectors and strings.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New substitution in docstrings and 'substitute-command-keys'.
|
||
Use \\`KEYSEQ' to insert a literal key sequence "KEYSEQ" (for example
|
||
\\`C-k') in a docstring or when calling 'substitute-command-keys',
|
||
which will use the same face as a command substitution. This should
|
||
be used only when a key sequence has no corresponding command, for
|
||
example when it is read directly with 'read-key-sequence'. It must be
|
||
a valid key sequence according to 'key-valid-p'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New function 'file-name-split'.
|
||
This returns a list of all the components of a file name.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New macro 'with-undo-amalgamate'.
|
||
It records a particular sequence of operations as a single undo step.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New command 'yank-media'.
|
||
This command supports yanking non-plain-text media like images and
|
||
HTML from other applications into Emacs. It is only supported in
|
||
modes that have registered support for it, and only on capable
|
||
platforms.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New command 'yank-media-types'.
|
||
This command lets you examine all data in the current selection and
|
||
the clipboard, and insert it into the buffer.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New text property 'inhibit-isearch'.
|
||
If set, 'isearch' will skip these areas, which can be useful (for
|
||
instance) when covering huge amounts of data (that has no meaningful
|
||
searchable data, like image data) with a 'display' text property.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** 'insert-image' now takes an INHIBIT-ISEARCH optional parameter.
|
||
It marks the image with the 'inhibit-isearch' text property, which
|
||
inhibits 'isearch' matching the STRING parameter.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** New user option 'pp-use-max-width'.
|
||
If non-nil, 'pp' will attempt to limit the line length when formatting
|
||
long lists and vectors.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** New function 'pp-emacs-lisp-code'.
|
||
'pp' formats general Lisp sexps. This function does much the same,
|
||
but applies formatting rules appropriate for Emacs Lisp code.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New function 'file-has-changed-p'.
|
||
This convenience function is useful when writing code that parses
|
||
files at run-time, and allows Lisp programs to re-parse files only
|
||
when they have changed.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** 'abbreviate-file-name' now respects magic file name handlers.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** New function 'font-has-char-p'.
|
||
This can be used to check whether a specific font has a glyph for a
|
||
character.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** 'window-text-pixel-size' now accepts a new argument 'ignore-line-at-end'.
|
||
This controls whether or not the last screen line of the text being
|
||
measured will be counted for the purpose of calculating the text
|
||
dimensions.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** 'window-text-pixel-size' understands a new meaning of 'from'.
|
||
Specifying a cons as the from argument allows to start measuring text
|
||
from a specified amount of pixels above or below a position.
|
||
|
||
** XDG support
|
||
|
||
*** New function 'xdg-state-home' returns 'XDG_STATE_HOME' environment variable.
|
||
This new location, introduced in the XDG Base Directory Specification
|
||
version 0.8 (8th May 2021), "contains state data that should persist
|
||
between (application) restarts, but that is not important or portable
|
||
enough to the user that it should be stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME".
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New macro 'with-delayed-message'.
|
||
This macro is like 'progn', but will output the specified message if
|
||
the body takes longer to execute than the specified timeout.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** New function 'funcall-with-delayed-message'.
|
||
This function is like 'funcall', but will output the specified message
|
||
if the function takes longer to execute than the specified timeout.
|
||
|
||
** Locale
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New variable 'current-locale-environment'.
|
||
This holds the value of the previous call to 'set-locale-environment'.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New macro 'with-locale-environment'.
|
||
This macro can be used to change the locale temporarily while
|
||
executing code.
|
||
|
||
** Tabulated List Mode
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** A column can now be set to an image descriptor.
|
||
The 'tabulated-list-entries' variable now supports using an image
|
||
descriptor, which means to insert an image in that column instead of
|
||
text. See the documentation string of that variable for details.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** :keys in 'menu-item' can now be a function.
|
||
If so, it is called whenever the menu is computed, and can be used to
|
||
calculate the keys dynamically.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New major mode 'clean-mode'.
|
||
This is a new major mode meant for debugging. It kills absolutely all
|
||
local variables and removes overlays and text properties.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** 'kill-all-local-variables' can now kill all local variables.
|
||
If given the new optional KILL-PERMANENT argument, also kill permanent
|
||
local variables.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** Third 'mapconcat' argument SEPARATOR is now optional.
|
||
An explicit nil always meant the empty string, now it can be left out.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** Themes can now be made obsolete.
|
||
Using 'make-obsolete' on a theme is now supported. This will make
|
||
'load-theme' issue a warning when loading the theme.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New function 'define-keymap'.
|
||
This function allows defining a number of keystrokes with one form.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New macro 'defvar-keymap'.
|
||
This macro allows defining keymap variables more conveniently.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** 'kbd' can now be used in built-in, preloaded libraries.
|
||
It no longer depends on edmacro.el and cl-lib.el.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New function 'image-at-point-p'.
|
||
This function returns t if point is on a valid image, and nil
|
||
otherwise.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New function 'string-pixel-width'.
|
||
This returns the width of a string in pixels. This can be useful when
|
||
dealing with variable pitch fonts and glyphs that have widths that
|
||
aren't integer multiples of the default font.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New function 'string-glyph-split'.
|
||
This function splits a string into a list of strings representing
|
||
separate glyphs. This takes into account combining characters and
|
||
grapheme clusters.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** 'lookup-key' is more permissive when searching for extended menu items.
|
||
In Emacs 28.1, the behavior of 'lookup-key' was changed: when looking
|
||
for a menu item '[menu-bar Foo-Bar]', first try to find an exact
|
||
match, then look for the lowercased '[menu-bar foo-bar]'.
|
||
|
||
This has been extended, so that when looking for a menu item with a
|
||
symbol containing spaces, as in '[menu-bar Foo\ Bar]', first look for
|
||
an exact match, then the lowercased '[menu-bar foo\ bar]' and finally
|
||
'[menu-bar foo-bar]'. This further improves backwards-compatibility
|
||
when converting menus to use 'easy-menu-define'.
|
||
|
||
** xwidgets
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** The function 'make-xwidget' now accepts an optional RELATED argument.
|
||
This argument is used as another widget for the newly created WebKit
|
||
widget to share settings and subprocesses with. It must be another
|
||
WebKit widget.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New function 'xwidget-perform-lispy-event'.
|
||
This function allows you to send events to xwidgets. Usually, some
|
||
equivalent of the event will be sent, but there is no guarantee of
|
||
what the widget will actually receive.
|
||
|
||
On GTK+, only key and function key events are implemented.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New function 'xwidget-webkit-load-html'.
|
||
This function is used to load HTML text into WebKit xwidgets
|
||
directly, in contrast to creating a temporary file to hold the
|
||
markup, and passing the URI of the file as an argument to
|
||
'xwidget-webkit-goto-uri'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New functions for performing searches on WebKit xwidgets.
|
||
Some new functions, such as 'xwidget-webkit-search', have been added
|
||
for performing searches on WebKit xwidgets.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New function 'xwidget-webkit-back-forward-list'.
|
||
This function is used to obtain the history of page-loads in a given
|
||
WebKit xwidget.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New function 'xwidget-webkit-estimated-load-progress'.
|
||
This function is used to obtain the estimated progress of page loading
|
||
in a given WebKit xwidget.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New function 'xwidget-webkit-stop-loading'.
|
||
This function is used to terminate all data transfer during page loads
|
||
in a given WebKit xwidget.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** 'load-changed' xwidget events are now more detailed.
|
||
In particular, they can now have different arguments based on the
|
||
state of the WebKit widget. 'load-finished' is sent when a load has
|
||
completed, 'load-started' when a load first starts, 'load-redirected'
|
||
after a redirect, and 'load-committed' when the WebKit widget first
|
||
commits to the load.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New event type 'xwidget-display-event'.
|
||
These events are sent whenever an xwidget requests that Emacs display
|
||
another xwidget. The only arguments to this event are the xwidget
|
||
that should be displayed, and the xwidget that asked to display it.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** New function 'xwidget-webkit-set-cookie-storage-file'.
|
||
This function is used to control where and if an xwidget stores
|
||
cookies set by web pages on disk.
|
||
|
||
** New variable 'help-buffer-under-preparation'.
|
||
This variable is bound to t during the preparation of a "*Help*" buffer.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** Timestamps like (1 . 1000) now work without warnings being generated.
|
||
For example, (time-add nil '(1 . 1000)) no longer warns that the
|
||
(1 . 1000) acts like (1000 . 1000000). This warning, which was a
|
||
temporary transition aid for Emacs 27, has served its purpose.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** 'date-to-time' now assumes earliest values if its argument lacks
|
||
month, day, or time. For example, (date-to-time "2021-12-04") now
|
||
assumes a time of 00:00 instead of signaling an error.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New events for taking advantage of touchscreen devices.
|
||
The events 'touchscreen-begin, 'touchscreen-update', and
|
||
'touchscreen-end' have been added to take better advantage of
|
||
touch-capable display panels.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
** New error symbol 'permission-denied'.
|
||
This is a subcategory of 'file-error', and is signaled when some file
|
||
operation fails because the OS doesn't allow Emacs to access a file or
|
||
a directory.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in Emacs 29.1 on Non-Free Operating Systems
|
||
|
||
** MS-Windows
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Emacs now supports system dark mode.
|
||
On Windows 10 (version 1809 and higher) and Windows 11, Emacs will now
|
||
follow the system's dark mode: GUI frames use the appropriate light or
|
||
dark title bar and scroll bars, based on the user's Windows-wide color
|
||
settings.
