* Makeconf: update LISPDIR, INFODIR, ETCDIR
for XEmacs. Use the modern default
/usr/local/share/xemacs rather than the
deprecated /usr/local/lib/xemacs. Also,
default to the site-packages subdirectory
rather than xemacs-packages, this allows
you more freedom to update the SUMO packages
without touching your ESS installation and
vice versa.

* Version 5.3.11 released.
2009-01-21 Rodney Sparapani <rsparapa@mcw.edu>
* Makefile (all install clean distclean): @for
loop throws away exit code, probably due to cd ..
which always returns 0; @for no longer used
2009-01-13 Rodney Sparapani <rsparapa@mcw.edu>
* doc/windows.texi and doc/unixlike.texi
(Installation): replace fake double quotes
in examples with real double quotes
2009-01-12 Rodney Sparapani <rsparapa@mcw.edu>
* doc/Makefile, doc/ess.texi, doc/readme.texi,
doc/windows.texi, doc/unixlike.texi (Installation):
new simplified installation instructions for Windows
and Unix/Unix-like including Mac OS X (major changes
now complete)
2009-01-07 Rodney Sparapani <rsparapa@mcw.edu>
* doc/Makefile (TEXISRC): add help-jags.texi to list
* doc/help-jags.texi
(ESS(JAGS)--Log files):
the "log" of the run is now .jog (like BUGS which
is .bog); .out created too many problems since the BOA
output files have that extension as well
(ESS(JAGS)--Model files):
adding 2 new local variables: ess-jags-burnin and
ess-jags-update. ESS[BUGS] has similar variables, but
the modern defaults are an order of magnitude bigger, so
it seemed like creating new variables was warranted
2008-12-17 Rodney Sparapani <rsparapa@mcw.edu>
* doc/windows.texi (Microsoft Windows installation):
this file will replace the Windows portion of inst_tar.texi
2008-12-15 Rodney Sparapani <rsparapa@mcw.edu>
* doc/Makefile (install-other-docs): fixing yet another
bug related to DOCDIR, was there no testing at all before
foisting this on us?
2008-12-09 Rodney Sparapani <rsparapa@mcw.edu>
* Makeconf and doc/Makefile (DOCDIR): belatedly document
and defensively create
2008-12-03 Rodney Sparapani <rsparapa@mcw.edu>
* Makeconf and doc/readme.texi (README re-organization):
Add TOC for plaintext format only, requires re-defining MAKETXT
accordingly.
2008-12-02 Rodney Sparapani <rsparapa@mcw.edu>
* doc/readme.texi and doc/Makefile (README re-organization):
re-arrange so that installation information comes in the
4/5th sections rather than much further down (7/8th); also
massaged wording in the intro which no longer requires as much
perl (which I never really understood since I don't speak perl;
shall we stick to what we all know: e-lisp/make/texi/not perl/etc.)

* doc/inst_tar.texi (Unix installation): Remove note regarding GNU
Make, as this is relevant only for developers, and so does not

notes on how to get a ssh buffer. Note that URL currently spills
into right margin in ess.pdf; anyway to prevent that?
2002-11-29 Stephen Eglen <stephen@gnu.org>
* doc/ess-defs.texi: New file to provide macros for formatting R,
S, SPLUS.
* doc/ess.texi: Quite a few updates to the documentation:
Include ess-defs.texi for @Sl macro.
Add Stephen to author list.
Remove bold from ESS/S.
Remove Variable and command index (had just two entries).
Use "X window system" or "X11" rather than "X-windows" (see `man X').

Change "more historic"->"older"
Correct exit() entry in the variable and command index.
Remove multiple references to Emacs/XEmacs differences in
.emacs/init.el for init file.

docs: I was trying to create a PDF version of ANNOUNCE with
texi2dvi and dvipdf (is there a better way?). And, certain
functions like @email and @code betray unsightly behavior.
I replaced @email with @uref:mailto and @code with @display.
You may note that a better translation of @code would be
@example, but @example misbehaves as well. @display doesn't
make a difference for info or HTML, but it does for PDF.
However, there doesn't appear to be an alternative for the
moment. Another bug, is texi2html ignores the @enumerate
argument (besides mishandling @macro statements). Oh joy!

* ANNOUNCE, doc/announc.texi, doc/Makefile, doc/readme.texi, README, info/ess.info-1:
docs: some final minor changes to docs before release. Also,
attempted to address Martin's concern in doc/Makefile with
respect to install. Now, you can differentiate between
making in the doc directory and installing elsewhere as the
documentation indicates. The target install has returned for
info files only.

* doc/dir, doc/help-sas.texi, doc/Makefile, info/ess.info-1, info/ess.info, README, info/ess.info-2:
info: Rich's comment made me realize that we may also need
to "install" the dir file. So, I changed the Makefile to:
$(INFODIR)/ess.info: $(TEXISRC)
@echo "making Info documentation..."
$(MAKEINFO) ess.texi
$(INSTALL) ess.info* $(INFODIR)
test -f $(INFODIR)/dir || $(INSTALL) dir $(INFODIR)
I suppose that a more sophisticated approach could be taken,
but this is probably good enough for now. I believe that
all issues that I was working on are now complete. I'm going
on vacation on 8/7 and then to JSM the following week, but I
should have e-mail and internet access the whole time. Did
someone once say "Release early and release often"?

* info/dir:
dir: I discovered what the problem is with @direntry and
GNU Emacs 21. Apparently, the functionality differs
between XEmacs and Emacs. Under XEmacs, the @direntry
has precedence over the dir file. Emacs appears to be
just the opposite. So, I edited the dir file by hand.
Not sure where this file comes from. info/emacs does
not create this file in a directory that doesn't
already have one. The file doesn't seem to be
created by makeinfo and thats where the problem lies.
There is no synchronization between @direntry and dir
once dir has been created (however that happens). The
best solution at present is to keep the two in synch
by hand. Which really isn't that big of a deal since
we are only talking about one line being identical in
dir and ess.texi

* doc/ess.texi, README:
HTML docs: a few tweaks to the texinfo to create a
reasonable HTML table of contents
* doc/ess.texi, README:
doc bug: I was testing out the info docs and I realized that
the "Detailed Node List" and the actual nodes for Installation
were different. In this case, it would lead you to believe
that there weren't any relevant topics in the Installation
section because you see the "Detailed" list first, but there's
nothing on it. I suppose you could carefully check each "Detailed"
vs. actual node combination, but that would be time-consuming and
prone to failure. And, I also realized that nobody would want a
100 item list when they can drill-down from a 10 item list anyways.
So, I was lazy and just commented out the entire "Detailed Node List".
* ANNOUNCE, doc/Makefile, README, doc/announc.texi, doc/authors.texi, doc/credits.texi, doc/ess.texi, doc/help-sas.texi, doc/inst_tar.texi, doc/readme.texi, info/ess.info-1, info/ess.info, info/ess.info-2, info/ess.info-3, info/ess.info-4:
more doc changes: Where should I begin? I realized that having info files might
not be helpful if you didn't already have ESS installed. So, I decided to
create HTML docs and put them @ software.biostat.washington.edu:/ess/doc/html
But, texi2html doesn't work with version.texi. After pulling my hair out, I
decided to read the documentation. Guess what? texi2html doesn't support
@macro commands. So, instead of @essver{}, I replaced those references by
@include ../VERSION which seems to work. Of course, this was after I re-did the
doc/Makefile thinking there was something wrong in there. The HTML docs are now
on the net. And, lots of other "improvements" to the docs.
* doc/ess.texi, info/ess.info, README, info/ess.info-1, info/ess.info-2, info/ess.info-3, info/ess.info-4:
info: running some long SAS jobs, ZZZZZzzzzZZZZZ...
Meanwhile, re-wrote parts of the intro and re-arranged some of the
documentation categories; boy is that fun. NOT! Promoted "Help for
the S family" and "Help for SAS" to main categories so you
don't have to poke around so long. One bugaboo that remains
with GNU Emacs 21.1-21.3 is the @direntry which is set to:
* ESS: (ess). Emacs Speaks Statistics (S/S+/R, SAS, BUGS, Stata, XLisp-Stat).
but, Emacs sadly reports: ESS Version 5.x.y (was: S-mode).
This works fine on XEmacs 21.4.8 and I'm using texinfo 4.2
* lisp/ess-utils.el:
ess-kermit-get, ess-kermit-send
I had to replace (shell) with ess-sas-goto-shell; maybe we should
generalize ess-sas-goto-shell and ess-sas-shell-buffer in ess-utils.el too

more Makefile mods: made INSTALL comments more explicit
and removed install as the target from main Makefile, it
was only present in the lisp Makefile in any case

more Makefile changes: Apparently, we had two different methods for
replacing old version numbers with new ones. For some reason, the
old method based on perl stopped working. So, we created a new
method based on @essver{}. However, the old version targets and
dependencies remained. I have no idea what kind of weirdness
resulted from that. Just in case, I'm removing the old method.

* lisp/essa-sas.el:

only (which was where the problem was initially)
* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ESS[SAS]: fixed bug in
ess-sas-submit-sh for Kermit file transfers; noticed that ess-kermit-
functions call (shell) when it probably should be ess-sas-goto-shell
2002-07-24 rsparapa <rsparapa@lynne.stat.math.ethz.ch>
* doc/Makefile, fontlock-test/baseball.sas, Makeconf, Makefile, VERSION:
Makefile happy-land: I think I finally figured this maze out.
We'll see when we try to release 5.1.21
* lisp/ess-utils.el:
ess-utils.el: fixed a bug in ess-save-and-set-local-variables;
more exhaustive testing later tonight
* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ESS[SAS]: ess-save-and-set-local-variables is now called
from ess-sas-submit-sh, ess-sas-submit-windows and
ess-sas-submit-mac rather than save-buffer which formerly
appeared in ess-sas-submit. Not, sure what to do with
ess-sas-submit-iESS, but it should not be called in
ess-sas-submit-region. Also, now called in
ess-sas-data-view so you can take advantage of the
recently added ess-sas-data-view-fsview-statement
buffer-local variable.
* lisp/ess-utils.el:
ess-utils.el: added 2 new functions
ess-search-except: searches forward for a regexp, stores as match 1
and optionally, ignores results that also match a second regexp parameter,
and optionally, searches backward for a third non-nil parameter
ess-save-and-set-local-variables: if a buffer is modified, save the
buffer and if Local Variables are defined, update them with revert
returning t if buffer was modified and nil otherwise
* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ESS[SAS], ess-sas-data-view: Now, I'm adding features just for myself.
I've always wanted the capability to add a PROC FSVIEW statement to an
ess-sas-data-view call, but I just never got around to it. You can
configure it with the string ess-sas-data-view-fsview-statement. Also,
you can now change the PROC FSVIEW command itself with
ess-sas-data-view-fsview-command and I renamed ess-sas-data-view-options
to ess-sas-data-view-submit-options to make it more clear what it does
(i.e. so you don't confuse -options with -fsview-command).
* Makeconf, doc/Makefile, info/ess.info-1, info/ess.info, info/ess.info-2, info/ess.info-3, Makefile, info/ess.info-4, lisp/Makefile:
Makeconf/Makefile tweaking: still need to re-organize doc
Makefile which is currently in the main Makefile and the
doc Makefile
2002-07-23 rsparapa <rsparapa@lynne.stat.math.ethz.ch>
* Makeconf:
Makeconf: minor improvements in anticipation of a more
important role for this method of installing ESS
* lisp/make-regexp.el:
make-regexp.el: timing functions removed due to name collisions with Gnus
2002-07-22 rsparapa <rsparapa@lynne.stat.math.ethz.ch>
* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ESS[SAS]: extended ess-sas-goto-shell to take an optional
argument if non-nil, then set-buffer rather than switch. This
new call replaces code chunks in ess-sas-submit-region,
ess-sas-data-view and ess-sas-graph-view. Furthermore, this
behavior is what was intended in nearly all
(ess-sas-goto-shell) calls and I have replaced them all with
(ess-sas-goto-shell t); except for the key-bindings for F8/F3
and the code that deals with kermit file transfers which require
the old behavior. Have only tested on XEmacs and 'sh, so YMMV.
* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ESS[SAS]: ess-sas-goto-shell resurrected! Our recent discussion
with respect to each SAS program, perhaps, needing it's own
ess-sas-submit-method brought me back to ancient discussions
of asynchronous shell buffer names. Emacs and XEmacs named them
differently. Our solution was to use & for 'sh and start for 'ms-dos
to make synchronous processes asynchronous. However, this made
ess-sas-goto-shell unnecessary since the buffer was always *shell*.
Now, I added the variable ess-sas-shell-buffer which is buffer-local
and defaults to *shell*. If you set this to something else, then you
will get another shell buffer. And, ess-sas-goto-shell will take you
to whichever one you need. So, we are back to the original function.
I also moved the add-hook call to the shell creation step since it
seemed like over-kill to call it every time you did ess-sas-submit-sh.
Is this enough explanation or am I boring you?

* lisp/essa-sas.el: ESS[SAS]: tweaks to

ess-utils.el: added ess-kermit- functions; now, it's really
ready for testing
* lisp/ess-cust.el:
ess-cust.el: added ess-kermit- variables
* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ESS[SAS]: moved ess-kermit- variables to ess-cust.el and
ess-kermit- functions to ess-utils.el
* lisp/ess-cust.el:
ess-cust.el: applied Stephen's patch; also changed more :types
from "string" to 'string; finally, fixed custom-ize for SAS; it
always worked if you specified 'ess-sas for the
group, but never worked if you specified 'ess; this was because
defgroup defined 'ess-SAS rather than 'ess-sas; and, now I understand
what :prefix does; we discussed this previously and nobody knew
(the documentation doesn't say either); :prefix is the beginning of
the variable name that the custom-ize buffer doesn't show you;
therefore, it seems that :prefix should be "ess-" for 'ess-sas;
I think this is what it always was, but now I know this is right;
only tested this on XEmacs 21.4.8 which is nearly bullet-proof;
please test on buggier versions of (x)emacs
2002-07-11 rsparapa <rsparapa@lynne.stat.math.ethz.ch>
* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ess-search-except, ess-sas-data-view, ess-sas-graph-view:
improvements to all; simplification of the latter -view's
with ess-search-except and other minor changes
* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ess-search-except: I forgot to include the bloody example of it's
use; now see ess-sas-data-view.
* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ess-search-except: I believe it does what we want now. Sorry, to make this
a multi-stage commit, but I can think in SAS, not elisp yet :o)
* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ess-search-except: I had some free time and I decided to
write a function to perform the complex searches
that are necessary for ess-sas-data-view. I suppose a function
like this would be valuable for ess-sas-graph-view and for
other packages as well. After a bit more testing, I'll put
it some place more appropriate. I suppose we don't
have alot of time left before 5.2.0
* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ess-sas-data-view: the code will make your head hurt, but
the search for a permanent SAS data just got a little smarter.
After it finds a tentative candidate in a forward search,
it checks if it is a work./first./last. If so, then it
backward searches. I suppose a better approach would be
to write an ess-search function that takes arguments
for regexp, direction, and exceptions to ignore. I
don't have time right now, but let's add it to the TODO.

* doc/ess.texi:
updated copyright to 2002. Deep thought: does everything
need a person to copyright it? Wouldn't it be better to
have something like: Copyright (C) 2002 ESS Developers?

* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ess-sas-data-view: Now ignoring WORK datasets since there is no
way to open them anyway. It would be nice if this function (as well as
ess-sas-graph-view) could also be accessable via the mouse.
Any hints as to how to do it would be appreciated. Currently, you have
to move the point manually or re-type the dataset/graph that you want
to view. Just clicking on a dataset/graph would be easier.

according to Rich's suggestion; however, ess-running-xemacs
is rather pervasive among numerous other ESS lisp files;
I don't have time to go into every file and change them all;
but, this will certainly be the recommended route to take with ESS 6

Unix Installation: massive changes; I really don't understand
points 7 and 8, but I assume the XEmacs parts of 8 will change
once 5.2.0 is an "official" XEmacs package; I suggest similar
changes be made to Microsoft Windows Installation, but I made
none. Enjoy!

* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ESS[SAS]: fixed a newly introduced bug in ess-kermit-get;
synchronized ess-kermit-send with ess-kermit-get; replaced
equal with string-equal (do we need to do this globally?);
I'd like to do a little bit more testing before 5.2.0; I'll
try to get it done tonight
* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ESS[SAS]: changes for more user friendly kermit file transfers;
ess-kermit-prefix default is now # which should be os-independent;
former defaults, : or ], could be problematic and were
based on ange-ftp/efs/tramp (an unnecessary restriction it turns out);
when ess-sas-goto is passed the suffix "log" or "lst" ess-kermit-get
is called if the file starts with ess-kermit-prefix; other extensions
could be dangerous since you might have altered the local copy whereas
.log and .lst files are only being modified by the SAS batch job; as
long as the integrity of the .sas program is maintained .log and .lst
can always be retrieved if an unwanted transfer overwrites them

* lisp/essa-sas.el:
ESS[SAS]: ess-sas-data-view will now recognize a permanent SAS
dataset name that ends in a macro variable. You will be
prompted with the portion of the name up to, but not including
the macro variable, since it wouldn't be valid otherwise. You
will need to complete the dataset name. You cannot use a macro
variable for the library since &libname.dataname is macro concatenation.
