Q7.0.3: What’s new in SXEmacs 22.1.1?

• user-init-directory set to ~/.sxemacs – Youngs.

  Symlinking this to your old ~/.xemacs directory is enough to get up and running with SXEmacs.

• Packages hierarchy default set to $prefix/lib/sxemacs – Youngs.

  Symlinking this to your old $prefix/lib/xemacs directory is enough to get up and running with SXEmacs. SXEmacs will do this for you when you do make install.

• Rename items in the menubar – Slusar, Youngs.
• Beginnings of FFI – Zajcev.

  FFI is Foreign Function Interface and will allow access to functions and libraries outside of SXEmacs from within lisp. Not completed yet, but the basic infrastructure is in place.

• FreeBSD build fixes – Slusar.
• M-x report-sxemacs-bug – Youngs.

  For now, this is just a wrapper around report-xemacs-bug with the appropriate variables set to SXEmacs values.

• Fix etags.c – Slusar.

  Avoid a segv.

• M-x build-report – Youngs.

  Make it work for SXEmacs.

• Fix major bug in regex.c

  This fixed a whole swag of crashes involving regexps and syntax-tables.

• Sync up with XEmacs 21.4 – Various Developers.
