On MacOS, the build finds the Cocoa framework and tries to build
nextstep, which results in a wildly differing PLIST. Pass
"--without-ns" to force disable this. No PKGREVISION, as any build
which found ns previously failed.
Changelog:
This is an emergency release to fix a security vulnerability in Emacs.
Enriched Text mode has its support for decoding 'x-display' disabled.
This feature allows saving 'display' properties as part of text.
Emacs 'display' properties support evaluation of arbitrary Lisp forms
as part of instantiating the property, so decoding 'x-display' is
vulnerable to executing arbitrary malicious Lisp code included in the
text (e.g., sent as part of an email message).
This vulnerability was introduced in Emacs 19.29.
GNU Emacs is an extensible, customizable editor textand more. At its
core is an interpreter for Emacs Lisp, a dialect of the Lisp
programming language with extensions to support text editing. The
features of GNU Emacs include:
- Content-sensitive editing modes, including syntax coloring, for a
wide variety of file types including plain text, source code, and
HTML.
- Complete built-in documentation, including a tutorial for new users.
- Support for many languages and their scripts, including all scripts,
Russian, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Lao,
Ethiopian, and some Indian scripts.
- Highly customizable, using Emacs Lisp code or a graphical
customization interface.
- A large number of extensions that add other functionality, including
a project planner, mail and news reader, debugger interface,
calendar, and more. Many of these extensions are distributed with
GNU Emacs; others are available separately.
This package contains Emacs version 25.
