* XEmacs 21.4.20 "Double Solitaire" is released.
"Double Solitaire" is the Twentieth in the OXYMORON series.
The latest stable release of XEmacs, XEmacs 21.4.20 - "Double Solitaire",
is now available from xemacs.org and its mirrors.
* Availability
Anonymous ftp:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.4
See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/. As of 21.4.18, only a source
tarball has been supplied. There was virtually no use of the info and
elc tarballs, so xemacs-21.4.20.tar.gz and xemacs-21.4.20.tar.bz2 are
the only tarballs supplied.
If you already have a 21.4.19 source tree, a patchkit is available in
xemacs-21.4.19-21.4.20.patch.gz. This does not update .elcs or .infos,
they will be rebuilt when you make XEmacs. If you have an earlier
version, you can repeatedly apply patchkits to reach the 21.4.20
release.
The tarballs and patches are signed with my GPG key, available from
most public keyservers and also from
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/pgp-keys/vin_shelton.asc

Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see

Anonymous (pserver) CVS:
Anonymous CVS is available. We are very grateful to the staff at our
host, SunSITE.dk, for a lot of help and quick reponse to all our
requests.
If you haven't used XEmacs CVS recently, we moved the repository
before the 21.4.6 release. The repository structure is the same as
before, so it should be possible to reuse an existing checked-out CVS
tree.
Take care that your Root is set correctly to
CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs at cvs.xemacs.org:/pack/xemacscvs
On platforms with a Bourne shell and find available, something like
for r in `find . -name Root`; do echo $CVSROOT > $r; done
will convert your entire tree.
Tags are also the same; to update to release 21.4.20, use the release
tag "r21-4-20". To set a sticky tag which will always update to the
current release, use the branch tag "release-21-4".

* configure.in: Simplify cygwin include and nox/Xpm handling.
As of cygwin-1.5.19, 'gcc -print-file-name=libc.a' (effectively)
returns '/lib' instead of '/usr/lib', so we'll use
'gcc -print-search-dirs' instead.

and discussion.
2006-11-19 Benson Margulies <benson at dchbk.us>
* fileio.c: Add code to use full Win32 API to check for write
access. Win32 has the general design policy that you aren't
supposed to ask this question, since security checks change
depending on asynchronous processes. Nonetheless, there is a way,
by acting as if we are a server doing interpretive access
control.
2006-07-31 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea at parhasard.net>
* bytecode.c: Use xnew_array instead of alloca.

NULL.

checking if it is NULL. Also fix a memory leak.

dereference it, not the other way around.
* dumper.c (pdump_register_object): Fix off-by-one array bounds
overflow check.
* dumper.c (pdump_register_struct): Ditto.
* editfns.c (Ftemp_directory): Don't let a copy from (long) path
to (short) warnpath overflow warnpath.
* extents.c (detach_all_extents): Call extent_list_delete_all with
a non-NULL parameter only.
* glyphs-widget.c (widget_query_geometry): Guard against possibly
NULL width and height.
* input-method-xlib.c (XIM_SetGeometry): Do not dereference f or
xic before checking if they are NULL.
* keymap.c (where_is_recursive_mapper): Don't throw away the newly
allocated array.
* md5.c (Fmd5): Check whether Lstream_read encountered an error.
* nas.c (Err): Fix a memory leak.
* redisplay-gtk.c (gtk_output_display_block): Fix a Dynarr leak.
Don't create the buffer if there is nothing to do.
* redisplay-msw.c (mswindows_output_display_block): Ditto.
* redisplay-output.c (redisplay_output_layout): Ditto.
* redisplay-tty.c (tty_output_display_block): Ditto.

allocating a buffer with the appropriate size.
2006-05-08 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen at xemacs.org>
* EmacsShell-sub.c (RootGeometryManager):
Change garbage to useful messages under DEBUG_GEOMETRY_MANAGEMENT.
Based on a suggestion by Francois L'Archeveque.
2006-03-21 Malcolm Purvis <malcolmp at xemacs.org>
* regex.c: Bump INIT_FAILURE_ALLOC and re_max_failures to the
current values found in GNU Emacs.
2006-03-17 Vin Shelton <acs at xemacs.org>
* dialog-msw.c (handle_directory_dialog_box): Don't declare
Q_title here. LOCAL_FILE_FORMAT_TO_TSTR requires an lvalue.
* glyphs-msw.c (read_bitmap_data): change 'initialized' to
'hex_initialized' because it conflicts with 'initialized' in
lisp.h.
-------- ChangeLog Entries from tests/ChangeLog --------
2006-12-09 Vin Shelton <acs at xemacs.org>
