Point of View" "\n\n Lucid's latest product, Energize, is a C/C++ development\n environment. Rather than invent (and force our users to learn)\n a new user interface, we chose to build part of our environment\n on top of the world's best editor, GNU Emacs. (Though our\n product is commercial, the work we did on GNU Emacs is free\n software, and is useful without having to purchase our product.\n For information about Energize, other Lucid products, or\n support contracts, send mail to " "lucid-info@lucid.com" " or call\n us at (800) 223-9322.)\n\n We needed a version of Emacs with mouse-sensitive regions,\n multiple fonts, the ability to mark sections of a buffer as\n read-only, the ability to detect which parts of a buffer has\n been modified, and many other features.\n\n For our purposes, the existing version of Epoch was not\n sufficient; it did not allow us to put arbitrary pixmaps/icons\n in buffers, `undo' did not restore changes to regions, regions\n did not overlap and merge their attributes in the way we needed,\n and several other things.\n\n We could have devoted our time to making Epoch do what we needed\n (and, in fact, we spent some time doing that in 1990) but, since\n the FSF planned to include Epoch-like features in their version\n 19, we decided that our efforts would be better spent improving\n Emacs 19 instead of Epoch.\n\n Our original hope was that our changes to Emacs would be\n incorporated into the \"official\" v19. However, scheduling\n conflicts arose, and we found that, given the amount of work\n still remaining to be done, we didn't have the time or manpower\n to do the level of coordination that would be necessary to get\n our changes accepted by the FSF. Consequently, we released our\n work as a forked branch of Emacs, instead of delaying any\n longer.\n\n Roughly a year after Lucid Emacs 19.0 was released, a beta\n version of the FSF branch of Emacs 19 was released. The FSF\n version is better in some areas, and worse in others, as\n reflects the differing focus of our development efforts.\n\n We plan to continue developing and supporting Lucid Emacs, and\n merging in bug fixes and new features from the FSF branch as\n appropriate; we do not plan to discard any of the functionality\n that we implemented which RMS has chosen not to include in his\n version.\n\n Certain elements of Lucid Emacs, or derivatives of them, have\n been ported to the FSF version. We have not been doing work in\n this direction, because we feel that Lucid Emacs has a cleaner\n and more extensible substrate, and that any kind of merger\n between the two branches would be far easier by merging the FSF\n changes into our version than the other way around.\n\n We have been working closely with the Epoch developers to merge\n in the remaining Epoch functionality which Lucid Emacs does not\n yet have. Epoch and Lucid Emacs will soon be one and the same\n thing. Work is being done on a compatibility package which will\n allow Epoch 4 code to run in Lemacs with little or no change.\n (Lucid Emacs is now running a descendant of the Epoch redisplay\n engine.)" "The SunPro Point of View" "\n\n Emacs 18 has been around for a long, long time. Version 19 was\n supposed to be the successor to v18 with X support. It was\n going to be available \"real soon\" for a long time (some\n people remember hearing about v19 as early as 1984!), but it\n never came out. v19 development was going very, very slowly,\n and from the outside it seemed that it was not moving at all.\n In the meantime other people gave up waiting for v19 and\n decided to build their own X-aware Emacsen. The most important\n of these was probably Epoch, which came from University of\n Illinois (\"UofI\") and was based on v18.\n\n Around two years ago SunPro (a division of Sun Microsystems,\n Inc.) decided that it wanted an integrated editor. They contracted\n with UofI to provide a number of basic enhancements to the\n functionality in Epoch. UofI initially was planning to deliver\n this on top of Epoch code.\n\n In the meantime (actually some time before they talked with UofI)\n Lucid had decided that it also wanted to provide an integrated\n environment with an integrated editor. Lucid decided that the\n v19 basis was a better one than v18 and thus decided not to use\n Epoch but instead work with Richard Stallman, the head of the\n Free Software Foundation and principle author of Emacs, on\n getting v19 out. At some point Stallman and Lucid parted ways.\n Lucid kept working and got a v19 out that they called Lucid\n Emacs 19.\n\n After Lucid's v19 came out it became clear to UofI and SunPro\n that the right thing to do was to push for an integration of\n both Lucid Emacs and Epoch, and to get the deliverables that\n SunPro was asking from UofI on top of this integrated platform.\n Through the last two years, SunPro has been actively supporting\n this product and has been investing a comparable amount of\n effort into it, as Lucid has. Substantial portions of the\n current code have originated under the support of SunPro, either\n directly in SunPro, or in UofI but paid for by SunPro. This\n code was kept away from Lucid for a while, but later was made\n available to them. Initially Lucid didn't know that SunPro was\n supporting UofI, but later they were open about it.\n\n Around 6 months ago the SunPro-related code started showing up\n in Lucid Emacs. This started with the infusion of the Epoch\n redisplay code.\n\n At this moment there is basically no difference in the source\n trees between what is at UofI, SunPro, or Lucid. All the\n development sites are in sync.\n\n SunPro originally called the integrated product ERA, for\n \"Emacs Rewritten Again\". SunPro and Lucid recently came to\n an agreement to find a name for the product that was not\n specific to either company. An additional constraint that\n Lucid placed on the name was that it must contain the word\n \"Emacs\" in it -- thus \"ERA\" was not acceptable. The\n tentatively agreed-upon name is \"XEmacs\", and, if all goes\n according to plan, this is what the product will be called\n after the release of 19.10. (SunPro is already calling the\n product XEmacs, but Lucid is still calling it Lucid Emacs.)\n\n" " Click " "Jamie Zawinski" " \"" "So much to do, so little time."
