jed-0.99-18 has been released

["John E. Davis" <davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Finally we can put 0.99-16 to rest as 0.99-18 is the new stable
version.  See <http://www.jedsoft.org/jed/download.html> for
information about obtaining the new version.  The list of changes
since the last officially released development snapshot is appended
below.

Version 0.99-18 will now go into bug-fix mode, and 0.99-19 will be the
new development version.  For the new version I plan to concentrate on
making the windowing code much more functional by adding support for
overlapping windows, horizontally split windows, popup "modal"
windows, etc. 

I want to thank everyone on this list their patience and enthusiasm
for jed. 

Thanks,
--John

Changes since jed-B0.99-17.165
166. lib/texcom.sl, mailedit.sl, tmmode.sl: Call indent_line from the
     wrap hooks.
167. src/Makefile.in: Tweaked to call my update_changes_version
     script.  This jed-script reads this file (changes.txt) and
     updates the patch level number in src/version.h accordingly.
168. src/buffer.c: If NULL passed as a buffer to buffer_exists, return 0.
169. src/paste.c: Deleting the rectangle buffer " <rect>" would cause
     a SEGV if the buffer was used again.  (Paul Boekholt).
170. lib/ctags.sl: The goto_position function used a slang-2 construct
     without a slang-1 workaround.
171. lib/man.sl: Convert "\x{00AD}" to the ASCII hyphen (Suggested by
     Paul Boekholt).
172. lib/site.sl: Moved slang-2 compatibility functions strbytelen and
     substrbytes from syntax.sl and made them public (Paul Boekholt).
173. doc/txt/hooks.txt: The documentation for the "wrap_hook" has been
     updated as well as the example accompanying it.
174. lib/site.sl: When looking up the install-prefix for the slang
     modules, the __argv[0] based search was not looking at $PATH.
     (Gunter Milde).
175. lib/site.sl: New variable called Jed_Tmp_Directory may be used to
     set the directory for temporary files.  The default value is /tmp
     on Unix.  There is no default on other OSs.  This variable is
     used by the make_tmp_file function.
176. lib/gpg.sl: When calling gpg to decrypt a file, stderr is
     redirected to a temporary file whose contents are inserted into a
     buffer call *gpg-errors*.  Previously, error messages were being
     inserted into the decrypted file's buffer.
177. lib/help.sl: Fixed a bug introduced when support for the Gold-Key
     was added.
178. lib/chglog.sl: Added a wrap_hook and made the indent amount
     customizable.
179. lib/digraph.sl: Tweaked to work in UTF-8 mode.
180. doc/tm/rtl/keys.tm: For the documentation for the (un)getkey
     functions, use "byte" instead of "character".
181. lib/site.sl: #ifdef out out abbrev functions if abbrev_table_p is
     not defined (Paul Boekholt).
182. doc/txt/color.txt: Typos corrected (Ulli Horlacher horlacher at
     belwue, de).
183. doc/tm/rtl/color.tm: The set_color function was updated to
     include the "default" color.
184. lib/isearch.sl: Fixed an isearch problem that with SEARCH_WRAP
     set to 1, and the search failed, the cursor would jump to the
     beginning the buffer.  (Paul Boekholt)
185. src/vms.c,sig.c: VMS-specific patches: If SIGTSTP is undefined,
     don't use it. (Thomas Pfau pfau at nbpfaus, net)
186. src/DESCRIP.MMS: Typo corrected (Hartmut Becker Hartmut, Becker
     at hp, com)
186. lib/bytecomp.sl: tiasm.sl was listed twice (Hartmut Becker).
187. src/vms.c: Add support for DECNET filenames (Hartmut Becker)
188. src/misc.c: Made changes to the getkey and ungetkey intrinsic
     functions so that they will work with wide-characters when in
     unicode mode.  The old byte-based behavior is still available via
     the _getkey and _ungetkey functions.  This change was required to
     make isearch unicode-aware.
189. lib/*.sl: Changed ^[ in key-definitions to \e for consistency.
190. lib/site.sl: The expand_keystring function was rewritten and now
     takes advantage of keydefs.sl.  As a result, it is cleaner.
191. lib/paste.sl, mousex.sl: Use _getkey instead of getkey.
192. src/jdmacros.h: Do not include malloc.h on FreeBSD (Renato Botelho
     garga at freebsd, org).
193. doc/tm/rtl/keys.tm: Added docs for _getkey and _ungetkey.  Also
     added rtl/*.tm to dependency list in doc/tm/Makefile.
194. src/screen.c: Moved message routines here for better localization.
195. src/xterm.c: print a warning message if the font does not look
     like a fixed width one.
196. src/xterm.c: Fixed some rendering bugs associated with
     double-width fonts.  The problem is that SLsmg's idea about the
     width of a character from its unicode properties can be quite
     different from the width specified by the font.  In the future,
     Xjed will have to employ at least 2 fonts: one for single width
     characters, and one for double width.
197. lib/comments.sl: Changes made to support "minor-modes" (Gunter
     Milde).
198. src/mini.sl: If Mini_Store_Duplicates is -2, then use a
     "Least-Recently-Used" strategy (Marko Mahnic marko, mahnic at
     email, si).
199. src/xterm.c: Order of the resource-names changed a bit.
200. doc/txt/xjed.txt: Updated to mention the UXjed resource prefix.
201. src/screen.h: set JED_HAS_DISPLAY_TABLE to 0 since this feature
     is still under development.
202. src/win32.c: The sys_chmod function was broken on win32 systems
     (Dino Sangoid).
203. src/wterm.c: Add support for recoding double byte characters to
     wide char for display purposes (Dino Sangoid with hints from Marko
     Mahnic).
204. src/sysdep.c,main.c: When compiled minw32, use Sleep instead of
     sleep.  (Marko Mahnic).
205. lib/tabs.sl: Use TAB_DEFAULT instead of assuming 8 column tabs
     (Thei Wijnen t, wijnen at hef, ru, nl).
206. lib/pscript.sl: Added define_syntax statements to correct the
     syntax highlighting of .ps files.  (Thei Wijnen).
207. lib/vhdlmode.sl: Updated to latest version (Thei Wijnen)
208. src/vms.c: Patch submitted by joukj at hrem, nano, tudelft, nl (Jacob
     Jouk Jansen) to add a delay for parenthesis blinking under
     decwindows.  (Original author is someone named Brian).
