2026-01-01; Add 2026 to copyright years.Sean Whitton
2025-03-22Remove ctags programPaul Eggert
Remove our old ctags and suggest Universal Ctags instead. This fixes a FIXME in lib-src/Makefile.in and speeds up compilation quite a bit on my older CPU when I compile with --enable-gcc-warnings. It also lessens installation and runtime footprint. (Bug#76322) * .gitignore: Remove lib-src/ctags. * admin/authors.el (authors-renamed-files-alist): Remove ctags.1. * admin/check-man-pages: ctags.1 is no longer a special case. * admin/quick-install-emacs (PUBLIC_LIBSRC_BINARIES): Remove ctags. * cross/Makefile.in (LIBSRC_BINARIES): Remove lib-src/ctags. * doc/man/ctags.1, lib-src/ctags.c: Remove. * java/Makefile.in (CROSS_LIBSRC_BINS): Remove ctags. * lib-src/Makefile.in (INSTALLABLES): Remove ctags${EXEEXT}. (ctags${EXEEXT}): Remove. * lib-src/etags.c (CTAGS): Remove. All uses replaced by ... (ctags): ... this new static var. (STDIN): Remove macro. All uses replaced by new STDIN_OPTION constant. (CTAGS_OPTION, STDIN_OPTION): New contants. (longopts): New --ctags option. (ctags_default_C_help): New constant, to override default_C_help at runtime. (default_C_help): Now always the etags version. (C_LANG_NAMES_INDEX): New macro. (print_language_names): Do not assume etags. (PROGRAM_NAME): Remove. All uses removed. (print_help): Document --ctags if PRINT_UNDOCUMENTED_OPTIONS_HELP. (main): Support new --ctags option, and support all [ce]tags options. * test/manual/etags/Makefile (CTAGS_PROG): Now etags --ctags, since there is no longer a ctags.

2022-05-04Turn on XInput 2 support by defaultPo Lu
The support doesn't interfere with compatibility, since Emacs built with XInput 2 support transparently falls back to Core Input when a suitable version of the input extension is not available. It also matured much sooner than expected, so enabling this by default will lead to new features being available to more users. * INSTALL: * configure.ac: * etc/NEWS: Enable XInput 2 support by default.

2020-01-24Install C source code for C-h f etc.Paul Eggert
Without this change, on typical GNU/Linux distributions like Debian, the first button of ‘C-h f car RET’ does not work because the source code for ‘car’ is not installed (Bug#37527). Fix this by installing the (compressed) C source code alongside the (compressed) Lisp source code that is already installed. This adds about 3 MB (about 2%) to the size of the installed files on my platform. * Makefile.in (emacs_srcdir): New macro. (epaths-force): Substitute PATH_EMACS_SOURCE. (install-c-src): New rule, that installs a copy of the C source code if emacs_srcdir says to. (install-arch-indep): Depend on it. * configure.ac (emacs_srcdir): New var. Add support for --disable-install-srcdir. * lisp/emacs-lisp/find-func.el (find-function-C-source-directory): Look in emacs-source-directory first. (find-function-C-source): Also look for gzipped source files. * lisp/startup.el (normal-top-level): Also recode emacs-source-directory. * src/epaths.in (PATH_EMACS_SOURCE): New macro. * src/lread.c: Include dosname.h, for IS_ABSOLUTE_FILE_NAME. (syms_of_lread): New var emacs-source-directory.

ImageMagick has continuing stability and security problems, suggesting that 'configure' should disable it by default.
