+ Multimedia fixes/updates -- Ferreira, Youngs.<br />
+ SoX and FFmpeg support was brought back and mostly fixed.
+ PulseAudio has been brought back, and support for "media
+ roles" was added.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Build chain fixes/updates -- Meier, Ferreira, Burkhardt,
+ Youngs<br />
+ A lot of work went into stamping out compiler warnings and
+ errors to give us a much cleaner/safer build.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ FFI updates -- Zajcev, Youngs.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Don't reset the cursor upon exit on a TTY -- Youngs.<br />
+ Since the beginning of time, whenever you exited emacs on a
+ TTY you'd find that your cursor had been reset to a horrible
+ great big block. We thought that you'd probably prefer to
+ have the cursor you were using before you started SXEmacs.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Contrib updates/fixes/additions -- Ferreira, Youngs.<br />
+ Of note here is the rewritten 'git-for-steve.sh' script. It
+ is designed for SXEmacs developers, both old and new, to
+ help get everything super organised in their git repo and
+ fast-track them to contributing and hacking.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Make docs compatible with Texinfo 5.x -- Youngs.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Support Unix user/group lookups -- Ferreira.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ XDG compliance -- Youngs.<br />
+ SXEmacs now looks for user files in locations that are much
+ more inline with modern standards and conventions.<br />
+ <br />
+ `user-init-directory' is now ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/sxemacs or
+ ~/.config/sxemacs if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set.<br />
+ <br />
+ User packages will now be searched for in
+ ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/sxemacs (~/.local/share/sxemacs).<br />
+ <br />
+ The old legacy directory `~/.sxemacs' is still supported,
+ and in fact will still be used if the XDG directories don't
+ exist and it (the legacy dir) does. A user can also force
+ use of the legacy directory if they so choose.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Add wildcard support to #'find-file et al. -- Youngs.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Fix coding cookies -- Youngs.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ "In-tree builds" are no longer supported. --
+ Youngs.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ TTY related fixes/updates -- Ferreira.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Various minor updates/tweaks/fixes -- Burkhardt, Ferreira,
