Version 1.3 of the Franz Inc. GNU Emacs/Lisp interface is now ready
for digestion. The major new features are:
* Completion of Lisp symbols (M-TAB)! It does *dynamic* lookup in
the lisp so user defined symbols are can be completed.
* New variable fi:common-lisp-file-types.
* New function fi:eval-in-lisp which evaluates arbitrary lisp
expressions.
* Updated ipc.cl and and new file, emacs.cl, which has some support
routines. The foreign load from the C library is not done unless
absolutely necessary (/bin/ld on the Sun4 is very slow sometimes).
* New variable, fi:emacs-to-lisp-transaction-directory, which
controls where transaction files are created. This is especially
helpful when emacs and lisp are on different machines.
* New variable, fi:echo-evals-from-buffer-in-listener-p, controls
whether or not expressions evaluated by key strokes in emacs are
silently evaluated in lisp or are `echo'd by the lisp listener.
* Shell tracking of directory is now much better. "cd ...; ...",
"cd ... &" and "...; cd ..." are now handled. Also, pushd +N and
popd +N are handled properly.
* Added command completion.
* A multitude of small fixes.
A complete list of the changes since 1.2 is part of the distribution.
