Mg (mg) is a Public Domain EMACS style editor. It is "broadly"
compatible with GNU Emacs. Mg was formerly named MicroGnuEmacs,
but is not associated with the GNU project.
This program is intended to be a small, fast, and portable editor for
people who can't (or don't want to) run real Emacs.
Emacs-20.6 is a bug-fix release with one user-visible change
* Support for ARM-based non-RISCiX machines has been added.
(patches/patch-be was removed because of this addition).
I believe it can run on any ports on which Emacs-20.5a runs.

- configure.in: Sync Berkeley db autodetection with src/database.c
- README: Remove msdos part.
- configure.in: add new machine type for IRIX 6.[2-5] to switch from using
unexelf.o to unexelfsgi.o for just those versions of IRIX.
In the ideal world it would be handled by the s/irix6-0.h but since machine
config is included AFTER OS config, I had to add a new machine type.
- configure.in: Default Drag-N-Drop to "no"
- etc/FTP: Updated FTP mirrors list. Replaced GNU FTP document with a URL.
- etc/MAILINGLISTS: Updated mailing list subscription information.
Replaced GNU MAILINGLISTS document with a URL.
- INSTALL: Update configure option.
- configure.in (native_sound_lib, --sgi--): Check for audio.h.
(LIBS): Check for libCsup.
- INSTALL: Added more information about README.packages, and
re-numbered some bullets.
- etc/sample.Xdefaults: adds a reference to beNiceToColrmap, so that the
user can guess what to do if xemacs' dialogs are butt ugly.
- INSTALL: Make disk space requirements more realistic.
Add note about stack size requirements.
Update and add more weight to the package section.
- README: Add reference to README.packages
- INSTALL: Remove junk from install.sh
- Makefile.in (install-arch-dep): use exe_suffix for link installation.
- configure.in: define exe_suffix if we're on ms-windows.
- configure.in (EMACS_CONFIGURATION): Use $configuration, not
$canonical, so that installation paths and dynamic path setup will
stay in synch.
- configure.in (machine): Recognize MIPS/Linux.
- README.packages: Added hint on how to figure out what packages to get.
after an IPv6 connection fails.
Patch supplied by Love<lha@stacken.kth.se>. Thank you!
In addition configure script and pkgsrc Makefile is modified to
be able to disable IPv6 support, looking at USE_INET6 (Makefile)
and --without-ipv6 (configure).
True WYSIWYG. Previously, we had subtle reformatting discrepancies when
changing resolutions (such as printing and zooming).
No more character dirt.
Overline support.
Minor display glitches.
Insert Date and Time.
Page-level navigation.
Better support for non-English content.
LaTeX exporter.
Word importer. Justin and Caolan have fixed things so that tabstops,
breaks, unicode conversion, page break before, widow/orphan control are all
imported successfully now.
RTF importer. Now handles negative values for margin-left and
text-indent.
Minor file format change.
Error propagation.
Unix stuff. By popular request, libstdc++ is no longer required. (We
never really needed it anyhow.) PostScript emissions now use signed
characters, as suggested by Bob Monaghan <bob@sbst.com>. With the latest
fonts.dir, Symbol fonts should print properly now, too.
First support for GNOME.
Spelling speedup. The interactive spell check logic is now fast and
smart like it should be, instead of woefully poky and dumb like it used to
be.
Subscript and superscript.
View ruler. Stephen Hack <shack@uiuc.edu> implemented this menu item so
that you can hide or show the ruler on a per-window basis.
Compressed AbiWord files. The AbiWord file format (*.abw) was designed
from the get-go to be a highly-readable form of XML. However, for those of
you who care more about bloat than legibility, Richard Jefts
<babs@cs.jhu.edu>
added import/export logic for a gzip-compressed variant (*.zabw).
Options dialog started.
Zoom and Paragraph dialogs.
Justification.
Clipboard improvements.
More Unicode-friendly.
Smarter preferences.
