Emacs is under active development, hosted at
-@uref{http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/, Savannah}. The source
-code can be retrieved anonymously following the
-@uref{http://savannah.gnu.org/bzr/?group=emacs, instructions}.
-The repository is GNU Bazaar.

+Follow the instructions given there to clone the project repository.
Because Emacs undergoes many changes before a release, the version
number of a development version is not especially meaningful. It is

@lisp

To modify the behavior such that frame titlebars contain the buffer's
left or right edge of the window.
Note that this is overridden by the variable
-@code{truncate-partial-width-windows} if that variable is non-nil
+@code{truncate-partial-width-windows} if that variable is non-@code{nil}
and the current buffer is not full-frame width.
In Emacs 20, use @code{hscroll-mode}.

by adding @code{(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook
'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)} to your init file.
-In Emacs versions before 21.1, the @code{ansi-color} package is not
-included. In that case, you need to unalias @code{ls} for interactive
-shells running in Emacs; this can be done by checking the @code{EMACS}
-variable in the environment.

-Use the function @code{w32-send-sys-command}. For example, you can
-put the following in your @file{.emacs} file:
+Beginning with Emacs 24.4 either run Emacs with the @samp{--maximized}
+command-line option or put the following form in your @file{.emacs}
+file:
+
+@lisp
+(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook 'toggle-frame-maximized)
+@end lisp
+
+With older versions use the function @code{w32-send-sys-command}. For
+example, you can put the following in your @file{.emacs} file:
@lisp
(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook
file:
@example
-if ($?EMACS) then
- if ("$EMACS" =~ /*) then
- if ($?tcsh) unset edit
- stty nl
- endif
+if ($?INSIDE_EMACS && $?tcsh)
+ unset edit
+ stty -icrnl -onlcr -echo susp ^Z
endif
@end example
@example
unset edit
-stty nl
+stty -icrnl -onlcr -echo susp ^Z
@end example
Alternatively, use @code{csh} in your shell buffers instead of
First of all, you should check to make sure that the package isn't
already available. For example, typing @kbd{M-x apropos @key{RET}
-wordstar @key{RET}} lists all functions and variables containing the
-string @samp{wordstar}.
+python @key{RET}} lists all functions and variables containing the
+string @samp{python}.
It is also possible that the package is on your system, but has not been
loaded. To see which packages are available for loading, look through
packages that you select. @xref{Packages,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}.
There are other, non-GNU, Emacs Lisp package servers, including:
-@uref{http://melpa.milkbox.net, MELPA}; and
-@uref{http://marmalade-repo.org, Marmalade}. To use additional
-package servers, customize the @code{package-archives} variable.
-Be aware that installing a package can run arbitrary code, so only add
+@uref{http://melpa.org/, MELPA}; and
+@uref{https://marmalade-repo.org/, Marmalade}. To use additional
+package servers, customize the @code{package-archives} variable. Be
+aware that installing a package can run arbitrary code, so only add
sources that you trust.
The @uref{https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources,
systems, this command will remap @key{DEL}:
@example

into @key{DEL} and @key{DEL} to @kbd{C-h}, use
@lisp
-(keyboard-translate ?\C-h ?\C-?) ; translate `C-h' to DEL
-(keyboard-translate ?\C-? ?\C-h) ; translate DEL to `C-h'.
+(keyboard-translate ?\C-h ?\C-?) ; translate 'C-h' to DEL

-@cindex NNTP, Gnus fails to work with
-
-There is a bug in NNTP version 1.5.10, such that when multiple requests
-are sent to the NNTP server, the server only handles the first one
-before blocking waiting for more input which never comes. NNTP version
-1.5.11 claims to fix this.
-
-You can work around the bug inside Emacs like this:
-
-@lisp
-(setq nntp-maximum-request 1)
-@end lisp
-
-You can find out what version of NNTP your news server is running by
-telnetting to the NNTP port (usually 119) on the news server machine
-(i.e., @kbd{telnet server-machine 119}). The server should give its
-version number in the welcome message. Type @kbd{quit} to get out.
