        omitted from this list.

1988-03-18  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at wilson)

        * modula2.el: Changes from Michael Schmidt:
        Better prompting in m2-for.  Variables for program name for
        compilation and for linking.  Don't assume executable name
        comes from module name.  m2-toggle knows about .md and .mi files.

        * rmail.el (rmail): Default for C-o is now `xmail';
        rmail-last-rmail-file now defaults independently to `XMAIL'.

        * lisp-mode.el (lisp-mode): Define C-c C-l as M-x run-lisp.

        * paths.el (rmail-primary-inbox-list): Use rmail-spool-directory

        * rnews.el (news-update-message-read): typo, cdadr => news-cdadr.

        * gdb.el (gdb): expand `path'; start-process loses if
        default-directory is not absolute.

        * tags.el (find-tag-tag): Create this function again
        to hold shared arg-reading code for find-tag and find-tag-other-window.
        (find-tag, find-tag-other-window): Use find-tag-tag.

        * shell.el (inferior-lisp-mode): lisp-mode-variables needs an arg.
        Also improve the doc string.
        * chistory.el (Command-history-setup): Likewise.

1988-02-11  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes.ai.mit.edu)

        * loaddefs.el: Autoload `gdb'.

        * gdb.el: New file, interface to GDB.  From Schelter,
        but rewritten to use the new GDB -fullname feature
        and the new Emacs overlay-arrow-position feature.

        * dbx.el: New file (Masanobu's version,
        changed to use overlay-arrow-string).

1988-02-04  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes.ai.mit.edu)

        * tags.el (find-tag-tag): Deleted.
        * tags.el (find-tag-default): New function returns default tag
        based on buffer text, or nil.
        Fix several bugs such as handling of quote-characters,
        and case of before or after a list or near unbalanced paren.

        * tags.el (find-tag): Use find-tag-default and show default in the
        prompt while reading the tag.

1988-01-24  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes.ai.mit.edu)

1988-01-22  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes.ai.mit.edu)

        * edt.el (edt-bind-gold-keypad): New fn so that calls to
        define-keypad-key are deferred till edt-mode is turned on.

1988-01-21  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * simple.el (kill-line): doc fix.

1988-01-19  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * sendmail.el (mail-send-and-exit): Don't delete the window
        unless an rmail-mode buffer is in the next window.

1988-01-19  Chris Hanson  (cph at sugar-smacks)

        * xscheme.el: Extensive changes including better documentation, a
        new major mode `scheme-debugger-mode', and a new format for the
        modeline when using the Scheme interface.

        The major mode `scheme-debugger-mode' is used when Scheme is
        running one of the character-driven debugger interfaces.  It is
        like Scheme mode except that evaluation is disabled, and
        characters that are normally self-inserting instead are
        transmitted to the Scheme process.

        The modeline is changed so that information about the state of the
        Scheme process is shown only in buffers whose major mode is
        `scheme-mode' or one of the related Scheme major modes.
        Information about the state of the read-eval-print loop is shown
        only in the Scheme process buffer.

        All of these changes are upwards compatible with versions of
        Scheme which ran using the previous interface.  However, some of
        the features will not be enabled in older Scheme systems.  Newer
        versions of Scheme (specifically, those newer than release 6.1.1)
        require the new interface for correct operation.  They will not
        work correctly with older version of this interface.

        * scheme.el: Minor changes to support "xscheme.el" changes.
        Mostly this involved adding hooks to existing facilities.

1988-01-19  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * c-mode.el (indent-c-exp): Use new state-element from
        parse-partial-sexp to handle case of (...newline...) {...

1988-01-17  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * rmail.el (rmail-display-labels): Preserve buffer bounds correctly.
        Remove extra spaces from the string before displaying it.

        * rmail.el (rmail-insert-inbox-text): message only if file exists.
        * rmail.el (rmail-get-new-mail): Don't save if was no new mail.

1988-01-15  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * info.el (Info-search): Two bugs in indirect files:
        Failed to search the indirect table right, and failed
        to recover if nothing found.

1988-01-14  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * loaddefs.el: Make search-... into user variables.

1988-01-11  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * rmail.el (rmail-display-label): Put a space before each label
        name if there wasn't one already.  Turns out valid BABYL format
        requires a space there.

        * rmailkwd.el (rmail-set-label): Expect and write spaces before labels.
        Eliminate the loop to delete such spaces.

        * rmail.el (rmail-set-attribute): Expect and write spaces before labels.
        * rmailsum.el (rmail-summary-by-labels): Expect spaces.

        * undigest.el: If it fails, delete ALL of the temporary copy.

1988-01-06  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * paths.el (mh-dir, mh-lib): Add two new alternatives to test for.
        (For HPUX).
        * paths.el (manual-formatted-dirlist) [HPUX]:
        Add a completely new alternative value.

1988-01-05  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * simple.el (indent-new-comment-line): In a comment, look back
        for a line with a nonempty comment and indent the comment text
        like it.

        * lpr.el (print-buffer-1): Use `untabify' to expand tabs,
        not the `expand' program.  Fix other bugs with tab-width != 8.

1987-12-26  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * c-mode.el (electric-c-terminator, c-indent-line):
        Don't recognize `case' unless space or tab follows.

1987-12-23  Richard Mlynarik  (mly at peduncle)

        * loaddefs.el:
        Update terminal-emualator documentation.  (This wasn't done
        after the last edit.)

        * terminal.el:
        Split out te-stty-string from function terminal-emulator.
        Run "sh" if no env var SHELL.
        Add nonstandard (though useful) NF and LP termcap flags.
        Fix terminal-emulator documentation.  Some comments.

1987-12-22  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * rnews.el (news-get-pruned-list-of-files): Don't die on
        unreadable directory.

1987-12-21  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * window.el (split-widow-{vertically,horizontally}):
        Make the arg optional.

1987-12-09  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * picture.el (picture-clear-rectangle): Delete spurious arg.

1987-12-08  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * rmailout.el (rmail-output): Don't crash if msg has no From.

        * dabbrev.el (dabbrev-expand): Don't print messages.

        * isearch.el (nonincremental-search): Put onto command-history.

        * simple.el (kill-region): Doc fix.

1987-12-06  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * compile.el (compilation-error-regexp): Last alternative
        could match spuriously; change `.*' to ` *'.  Change may be wrong;
        nobody knows which program makes error messages this should match.

        * terminal.el: Many fixes: some new termcap entries and fix bugs
        in others.

        Terminal width and height may be specified.
        Scrolling is now the default.  Enabling or disabling scrolling
        during use does not really work because it is necessary to change
        the termcap entry.

        Do `stty new dec' at startup.  Without this, you get printing
        terminal echoing which looks very strange with DEL as the erase
        char.  This may lose on sysV, but the need can't be ignored.

        One known bug remains a mystery: when running `ex', the empty-line
        command fails to overprint the colon with the text that is
        printed.  The output Emacs receives contains a crlf in place of a cr.

        * startup.el (command-line-1): Don't insert the startup-message
        in a buffer other than *scratch*.  Fixes bug with (rmail) in .emacs.

        * files.el (save-buffer): Don't make a backup if arg is 0.
        Clean up documentation.

        * tags.el (tags-query-replace): Handle prefix arg like query-replace.

        * replace.el ({keep,flush}-lines): Handle matches split across lines.

1987-12-05  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * xscheme.el (xscheme-start-process): Put xscheme-mode-string
        into mode-line-process.
        * xscheme.el (add-to-global-mode-string): Function eliminated.

        * startup.el: New var window-setup-hook; works like term-setup-hook.
        * term/x-win.el: Set window-setup-hook instead of term-setup-hook.
        term-setup-hook now for users only.

1987-12-04  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * tags.el (find-tag): Better error message when no tag found
        for substring.

        * lisp-mode.el (emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table): New variable.
        Initialize this instead of lisp-mode-syntax-table.
        * lisp-mode.el (lisp-mode-variables): New arg; if non-nil,
        initialize lisp-mode-syntax-table unless already done,
        and install it.
        * lisp-mode.el (*-mode): Pass an arg to lisp-mode-variables.

        * lisp-mode.el (eval-last-sexp):  Use emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table.
        * lisp-mode.el (eval-print-last-sexp):
        * debug.el (debugger-mode):
        * chistory.el (Command-history-setup):
        * options.el (Edit-options-mode):

1987-12-01  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * lisp-mode.el (calculate-lisp-indent): Typo for case within a string.
        Indent first arg of ordinary function directly under the function
        name.  Remove a call to parse-partial-sexp that always did
        nothing.

1987-11-25  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * rmail.el (rmail): Widen and goto beginning before checking format.

1987-11-22  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

1987-11-19  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * startup.el (command-line-1): Don't (goto-line 0).

        * replace.el (occur-mode): Doc fix.

1987-11-11  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * dired.el (dired-find-file{,-other-window}): No need to
        check for a line saying it is a directory, because find-file
        does that in a better way.
        * dired.el (dired-view-file): Use file-directory-p to
        decide whether to call dired.

        * rmail.el (rmail): If buffer already existed and find-file
        reverts it, recompute the message tables.

1987-11-03  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * files.el (hack-local-variables): If selective-display
        is set, next local-variables line starts with either \n or ^M.

1987-10-31  Richard Stallman  (rms at sugar-smacks)

        * mh-e.el (push): Renamed to mh-push.

        multiple whitespace.

1987-10-29  Richard Stallman  (rms at frosted-flakes)

        * simple.el (repeat-complex-command, next-complex-command):
        Rename `arg' to `repeat-complex-command-arg'.

        * Version 18.49 released.

        * debug.el (debugger-mode): mode-class special.

        * buff-menu.el: Typo putting mode-class on `Buffer-menu-mode'.

        * c-mode.el (electric-c-brace): set insertpos after
        calling newline, since newline might do an auto-fill.

1987-09-12  Richard Mlynarik  (mly at prep)

        * loaddefs.el, mail-utils.el (rmail-dont-reply-to):
        Add new variable `rmail-default-dont-reply-to-names' which is used
        (together with the user's name) as the default value of
        rmail-dont-reply-to-names.  This variable replaces the wired-in
        constant "info-" in `rmail-dont-reply-to' and is intended to be

        * backquote.el: Rename push to bq-push, and likewise for
        caar, cadr and cdar.  Delete cddr.
        Definitions for the common-lisp functions
        were different from those in cl.el and could  interfere.

1987-08-19  Richard Mlynarik  (mly at prep)

        save USENET bytes

1987-07-29  Richard Mlynarik  (mly at prep)

        * simple.el (negative-argument):
        Pass explicit ?- to prefix-arg-internal rather than relying on
        value of last-command-char (broke when this command wasn't
        assigned to the "-" key)

        * loaddefs.el: Autoload common-lisp-indent-hook.

        * cl-indent.el:
        New file which understands common lisp special forms and
        has hairy indentation-specification templates.
        (setq lisp-indent-hook 'common-lisp-indent-hook)
        to enable it.

        * lisp-mode.el (lisp-indent-hook):
        No need to do save-excursion.
        Deal with case of car of form being a list (which used to be
        handled by calculate-lisp-indent)

        * lisp-mode.el (calculate-lisp-indent):
        Call indent-hook even if looking-at a list.
        Needed for correct indentation of pleblisp FLET, etc.

        and on last line of buffer.

        * mailalias.el (define-mail-alias): Call build-mail-aliases

        * files.el (find-alternate-file): Don't offer save if read-only.

1987-02-18  Chris Hanson  (cph at prep)

        * simple.el (do-auto-fill): Do not `save-excursion' if

        and scroll it to the end.
        inferior-lisp-prompt controls recognition of when prompt
        arrives, indicating no more output coming so scrolling may be done.

        * server.el (server-start): Make "Server" appear in mode line
        while actual server operation is going on.
        Do process-kill-without-query also.

        * server.el (various): Call the buffer " *server*", not "*server*".

        * server.el (server-sentinel): Considerable cleanup.
        Don't ever switch-to-buffer on *server*.  Do all parsing in it

        Garbage collect in middle of file to reduce storage required
        for loading.  Remove ".bin" from completion-ignored-extensions
        on Unix since only Symbolics customers would benefit from its presence.
        Symbolics killed the MIT AI lab; don't do business with them.

        * view.el (view-file): Kill the buffer at the end if it was
        created just for this and was not modified.

        * isearch.el: If search-slow-window-lines is negative, put the
        search window at the top.  Always bind window-min-height to 1.

        * isearch.el: When extending a reverse non-regexp search
        must not extend past barrier (same idea as below for regexps).

1986-12-17  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

        * isearch.el: Combine code for search-repeat-char and
        search-reverse-char into one cond clause.
        If search direction is changing, don't greb prev search-string.
        Otherwise, do grab it if search-string is currently empty.

        * isearch.el: When extending a reverse regexp search string,
        criterion for extending current match was one off, and also
        now won't go into the area beyond where last C-r was typed.

        clear screen, redisplay, and ask again.

        back up start of search.  New local variable `barrier' is
        position of original command or of last C-s or C-r; it

1986-12-15  Richard Mlynarik  (mly at prep)

        * fortran.el:
        Initialise fortran-mode-abbrev-table correctly.

        Add support for delta-from-UT timezone specs ("EST" = "-0500")
        Add support for four-character timezone specifications such as NZST
        [This is actually a bit suspect, since four-character timezone
        specs violate the rfc822 date format -- one should be using a spec
        like "+1000" instead]

1986-12-12  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

        so correct entry is visible.

        * scribe.el: New file containing scribe-mode.

        use c-backward-to-noncomment to find next real text.
        When classifying top-level lines, ignore page breaks;
        lines ending in } are not continued lines.

        Delete whitespace only next to commas.

        * rmailkwd.el (rmail-nuke-whitespace): Delete this function.

        is the keyword "else".

        * terminal.el: New file, like shell-mode modified to
        simulate a display terminal for the inferior.

1986-11-25  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

        * outline.el (outline-mode): outline-regexp must match at start
        of line to be a paragraph start.

        * simple.el ({beginning,end}-of-buffer):
        When buffer-size is large, divide before multiplying

        * paths.el: Correct manual-formatted-dirlist for USG systems.

        * man.el: Use new subroutine insert-man-file to insert files
        uncompressing if nec.  Also uncompact compacted files.

        letter (as in 3n).  Delete the vars already moved to paths.el.

        * disass.el: new name for disassemble.el to avoid USG truncation.
        loaddefs.el changed for this.

        * term/supdup.el: Add code for hp-ux which has no binding for the
        TERMCAP environment variable.

1986-11-23  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

        * version 18.31 released.

        Added former from phr, rename latter and modified it to work with
        former.  Changed key-bindings for rename.  This gets rid of the
        interface (which also is ugly) to the UNIX "tr" command.

1986-11-21  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

        * mh-e.el (mh-display-msg):
         Pass non-nil 2nd arg to insert-file-contents

1986-11-20  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

        * vip.el (vip-find-char):  Use search-forward instead of

1986-11-20  Richard Mlynarik  (mly at prep)

        * helper.el:
        Flush Helper-major-mode, Helper-mode-name:
        there is a much simpler way of doing this
        (see new Helper-describe-mode)
        Make it work for Helper-return-blurb to be buffer-local
        (this is better than binding it dynamically)

        * ebuffer-menu.el, echistory.el, view.el:
        Flush references to Helper-{major-mode,mode-name}

1986-11-19  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

        * startup.el: expect window-system to be a symbol, not a string,
        and concatenate "-win" instead of "-windows" to keep
        file names short.

        * term/x-win.el: New name for term/X-windows.el
        needed due to change in dispnew.c re window-systems.

1986-11-16  Leonard H. Tower Jr.  (tower at prep)

        * rnews.el (news-ignored-headers)
        removed Organization:, so it's visible to readers.

1986-11-14  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

        * Emacs version 18.30 *

        * rmail.el (rmail-forward):
        Use mail-other-window unless there is only one window visible.
        Use of `mail' instead in the case of multiple windows on the
        screen makes it a nuisance to get back to Rmail.

        * outline.el (outline-regexp): ^L starts a header line.

1986-11-13  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

        * fill.el (fill-region-as-paragraph):
        If 1st line starts with fill prefix, exclude that fill

        * emacsbug.el (report-emacs-bug):
        Got rid of redundant "on system-name (system-type)" now that
        (emacs-version) outputs it.

1986-11-10  Richard Mlynarik  (mly at prep)

        * dired.el (dired-mode):

        * rnews.el (news-set-mode-line):

        * telnet.el (telnet-mode): Ditto.

        * c-mode.el (calculate-c-indent): When deciding whether
        a line is a continuation, ignore label-lines.
        Also ignore preceding lines that end in commas.  Consequence:
        if the preceding line is a continuation, our line
        is indented just like it (as a continuation of the same thing).

        * loadup.el: look for new file "site-load.el" to preload
        libraries before the DOC file is read.

1986-11-07  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

1986-11-07  Richard Mlynarik  (mly at prep)

        Delete CPH's change.

        A line ending in singlequote-colon now does not make the
        following line be considered a continuation.

1986-11-07  Chris Hanson  (cph at prep)

        * sort.el (sort-build-lists):
        Was not initializing point to the beginning of the region.  As a
        result, if one tried to sort a region where point was at the end
        and mark at the beginning, nothing would happen.

1986-11-06  Richard M. Stallman  (rms at prep)

        * subr.el (indent-to-column): New alias for indent-to.

1986-11-06  Leonard H. Tower Jr.  (tower at prep)

        * rnewspost.el 
        Finish bringing posting and followups (mostly) up to the News 2.11
        revision of RFC 850 (exceptions noted in rnewspost.el's header).
        Added function news-reply-yank-original, to be used in lieu of

        * version.el (emacs-version):
        Include host name and system type.

        Doc string of rmail-mode changed.

        * loaddefs.el (auto-mode-alist, completion-ignored-extensions):
        Ignore ".blg" and ".bbl".  Know modes for ".bbl" and ".bib".
        Rearrange auto-mode-alist with frequently used elts first.

        * files.el (find-file-noselect):
        Eliminate incorrect nested or-for-effect within or-for-effect.
        Bug was it didn't offer to reread a changed file.

1986-11-05  Leonard H. Tower Jr.  (tower at prep)

        * rnewspost.el (news-reply)
        Fixed bug when point was outside of header on invocation.

        rmail-summary-mode, rmail-edit-mode, Buffer-menu-mode):
        Give these symbols `special' as a `mode-class' property.

        * dired.el (dired-mode): Take out local value for
        default-major-mode.  The mode-class property now makes sure
        new buffers are not made in dired-mode.

1986-11-04  Leonard H. Tower Jr.  (tower at prep)

        * rnews.el
        Add several C-C C-F C-letter fields in RFC 850.

        Catch all errors anywhere within.  Fixes bug when
        `C-h v' was done with point after an `('.

1986-11-02  Richard Mlynarik  (mly at prep)

        * files.el (backup-buffer):
        "neq" isn't defined -- use /=

        Created later from parts of former to speed up initial rnews load
        (also debugging time).  Added autoloads as appropriate.  The mail and
        posting commands are most often not used in an rnews session.

1986-10-29  Richard Mlynarik  (mly at prep)

        * startup.el (command-line):
        VMS sys$login:.emacs

        * isearch.el:
        Default for regexp searches is now search-last-regexp.
        Rename isearch-slow... vars to search-slow...
        C-s or C-r in failing search wraps around buffer and tries again.

        * bytecomp.el (batch-byte-compile), tex-start.el
        Because of RMS's change "Mon Jul  7 14:01:51 1986"
        must use variable command-line-args-left rather than command-line-args.

        Actually, I see no circumstances under which a switch -could- be
        interested in any command-line-args before the mention of itself,
        and so think that rebinding command-line-args as appropriate was
        correct (if perhaps a little confusing to the person who requested
        that RMS' change be made)

1986-08-10  Richard Mlynarik  (mly at prep)
