does emacs-unicode-2 branch stop developing?

[sTeeL]

hi, all
i am using emacs-unicode-2(23.0.0.1) branch for a long time, yesterday i occasionly searched 

on web and found a "23.0.0.50" version emacs, which seems is emacs-multi-tty branch, and it 

does not include any unicode support, does  emacs-unicode-2 branch stop developing?

And, I love emacs-multi-tty but can't find any multi-tty patch for emacs-unicode-2 branch, any

suggestion?

People are confused by the version. Since trunk is 23.0.50, mtty branch
is 23.0.51, I wonder if it will make more sense to bump unicode2 branch
to 23.0.52.

Confused by the the version and the name of the branch--did the name
change from emacs-unicode-2 to emacs-unicode-base?

From the web CVS front end, 'emacs-unicode-base' is a NON branch tag
(just a simple TAG). The valid UNICODE related branch tag is
'emacs-unicode-2' (earlier branch was emacs-unicode). The UNICODE
maintainer is the best person to clarify though.

Re: Bumpe unicode2 branch version to 23.0.52

[Kenichi Handa]

The branch tag for Unicode version of Emacs is
emacs-unicode-2.  It's very unfortunate that it is not yet
merged into the trunk.  I hope that Richard decides to that
soon.  In this May, he said that he wanted one or two months
to decide which feature to include in Emacs 22.2 before
merging emacs-unicode-2.

Those who want to distinguish the trunk version and
emacs-unicode-2 version, please check the variable
mule-version.

The trunk: "5.0 (SAKAKI)"
emacs-unicode-2: "6.0 (HANACHIRUSATO)"

Re: Bumpe unicode2 branch version to 23.0.52

[Richard Stallman]

I wanted to release Emacs 22.2 in August, but this release is delayed
because of bugs waiting to be fixed.

Those for which I have sent two reminders are listed in
admin/FOR-RELEASE.  Some others may be listed there too.  But there
are probably several more which have not had two reminders that are
not listed in FOR-RELEASE.  You can find them in messages from me to
emacs-devel that say "ack".

    is 23.0.51, I wonder if it will make more sense to bump unicode2 branch
    to 23.0.52.

The multi-tty branch is dead now, right?  We already merged it into
the trunk.

Maybe we should change the number of unicode2, but I don't
see it will solve a problem.  It already does have a version
number that is different.  The point is that we need to stop
saying "Emacs 23" and say either "trunk" or "unicode-2".

Dead and dropped ?

I agree, that's enough to distinguish them.

Hi Leo,

   People are confused by the version. Since trunk is 23.0.50, mtty branch
   is 23.0.51, I wonder if it will make more sense to bump unicode2 branch
   to 23.0.52.

I thought mtty branch was dead since it has been merged into the
trunk. So why not ditch it completely. Second, are we sure
unicode2 branch will be merged before GNU Emacs 23.x ? If so, I
would stick 23.0.51 to unicode2. If not, I would prefer have
something like 24.0.51.

What do you mean by "ditching"?  It should remain in CVS so that one
can track its history.

Hi,

   on web and found a "23.0.0.50" version emacs, which seems is emacs-multi-tty branch, and it 
   does not include any unicode support, does  emacs-unicode-2 branch stop developing?

I guess that merging multi-tty first was the first step. Next
will be the inclusion of the unicode branch.

You'll have to wait till that merge happens (or try to extract a
patch from TRUNK by yourself).

Hmm, I didn't know they had already merged the multi-tty branch into
the trunk.  That is good news.

No, I don't think so.

Just sit tight and wait.  The intention is to merge the
emacs-unicode-2 branch into the trunk as well, but such work is
nontrivial so it might take a while.  And before you ask, predicting
the timing of progress on free software is an essentially impossible
task.  It could happen next week, or it could take another year.
Meanwhile, I am afraid you have to choose whichever is more important
to you:  multi-tty or native unicode.

(I do not have inside information; I just happen to have been looking
at the emacs-devel archives lately.)

No. It's possible to have both and to update both from CVS.

GNU Emacs 23.0.50 behaves badly on Mac OS X, not co-operating with  
ttys in *shell* buffer and producing a Carbon Emacs that crashes when  
choosing anything with the mouse.

It does not yet exist.

Indeed! It seems not to be documented what this multi-tty feature is  
and what it might be good for. The question is whether the multi-tty  
patches can be integrated into the unicode-2 branch with reasonable  
effort. If it's possible and does not disturb the additions to  
Unicode Emacs (use of libfontconfig and libXft and use of modern  
OpenType fonts) then it's probably only a question of time when the  
multi-tty patches will have infiltrated Unicode Emacs.


Who needs the multi-tty feature? And what is it actually good for?

It gives screen-like functionality to Emacs.  You can have as many X-
and tty-based frames as you want.  It's great for connecting to an Emacs
instance that's already running.  I've been using it for years and love
it.

I start Emacs inside a screen session on my desktop at work.  Then I
start an X frame and use that when I'm at work.  When I'm at home I ssh
to my work desktop and connect to my running Emacs instance with
'emacsclient -t'.

Well, of course!  I had assumed that would go without saying.
But you cannot have both in a single running emacs image.

This is possible given the fact unicode-2 is a branch that, I
guess, is synced against TRUNK. So it may be harder to do but it
is doable.
