wigley i'm + +0:00:03.040,0:00:06.319 +one of the co-maintainers of emacs along + +0:00:04.960,0:00:09.280 +with ellie zoretsky + +0:00:06.319,0:00:09.840 +and lars ingebrigston and i wanted to + +0:00:09.280,0:00:12.639 +give you + +0:00:09.840,0:00:14.960 +a technical update on what has been + +0:00:12.639,0:00:18.400 +happening + +0:00:14.960,0:00:20.640 +with the emacs in the last year so + +0:00:18.400,0:00:21.600 +specifically uh we have a few notes that + +0:00:20.640,0:00:24.480 +i've gotten from + +0:00:21.600,0:00:25.840 +a call with ellie he's been in charge of + +0:00:24.480,0:00:28.000 +directing most of the + +0:00:25.840,0:00:30.160 +technical contributions on the mailing + +0:00:28.000,0:00:33.200 +list and monitoring all the patches + +0:00:30.160,0:00:35.840 +so i'm more here just as a messenger + +0:00:33.200,0:00:37.120 +he says that we have good progress and + +0:00:35.840,0:00:39.040 +support for cairo + +0:00:37.120,0:00:40.320 +this is going to be enabled by default + +0:00:39.040,0:00:42.480 +and emax 28 + +0:00:40.320,0:00:44.800 +and cairo plus half buzz is going to be + +0:00:42.480,0:00:46.879 +the preferred rendering combination + +0:00:44.800,0:00:48.719 +so cairo support is not new but in the + +0:00:46.879,0:00:51.440 +past there were a lot of bugs in the + +0:00:48.719,0:00:52.960 +code and so it was made experimental + +0:00:51.440,0:00:54.960 +so most of those bugs have been fixed + +0:00:52.960,0:00:56.320 +recently and now it becomes the default + +0:00:54.960,0:00:58.320 +and the next major version + +0:00:56.320,0:01:00.320 +which will enable several good features + +0:00:58.320,0:01:01.680 +such as color emojis if you're looking + +0:01:00.320,0:01:04.720 +forward to those + +0:01:01.680,0:01:06.560 +xft as a result is deprecated there are + +0:01:04.720,0:01:07.760 +bugs not getting fixed in that code it + +0:01:06.560,0:01:08.720 +doesn't appear to be very well + +0:01:07.760,0:01:10.960 +maintained + +0:01:08.720,0:01:13.760 +it was the most advanced font mac end + +0:01:10.960,0:01:15.920 +and emax before cairo became dependable + +0:01:13.760,0:01:17.840 +so now that we have a more a better + +0:01:15.920,0:01:19.360 +maintained and available solution in + +0:01:17.840,0:01:23.200 +cairo we're going to go from that + +0:01:19.360,0:01:23.840 +go from xft to that native compilation + +0:01:23.200,0:01:26.400 +in lisp + +0:01:23.840,0:01:28.080 +will also be landing soon it's currently + +0:01:26.400,0:01:28.799 +on a branch but there are several people + +0:01:28.080,0:01:31.040 +using it + +0:01:28.799,0:01:32.479 +they say they're very impressed it does + +0:01:31.040,0:01:35.600 +require live gcc + +0:01:32.479,0:01:37.439 +jit to be installed for it to work and + +0:01:35.600,0:01:38.960 +this means you have to have gcc 10 + +0:01:37.439,0:01:41.040 +installed + +0:01:38.960,0:01:42.240 +execution of emacs lisp with native + +0:01:41.040,0:01:45.280 +compilation on + +0:01:42.240,0:01:46.159 +is about 2.5 times faster than the + +0:01:45.280,0:01:48.399 +bytecode + +0:01:46.159,0:01:49.439 +interpreter we don't yet have any + +0:01:48.399,0:01:51.600 +measurements on + +0:01:49.439,0:01:52.960 +memory or how it affects resources + +0:01:51.600,0:01:54.720 +besides cpu so + +0:01:52.960,0:01:56.399 +we do look forward to having more + +0:01:54.720,0:01:58.320 +numbers and analysis to see what the + +0:01:56.399,0:02:01.360 +real impact of that is going to be + +0:01:58.320,0:02:02.799 +also it may vary in compute advantage + +0:02:01.360,0:02:04.320 +based on the type of workload that + +0:02:02.799,0:02:06.240 +you're performing + +0:02:04.320,0:02:08.080 +a downside to the native compilation at + +0:02:06.240,0:02:10.720 +the moment is that it takes a long + +0:02:08.080,0:02:12.720 +time to compile even when you're doing a + +0:02:10.720,0:02:14.959 +16 core build of emacs + +0:02:12.720,0:02:15.760 +it can still take 15 minutes to compile + +0:02:14.959,0:02:17.840 +emacs + +0:02:15.760,0:02:19.520 +and all of its in all of its lisp code + +0:02:17.840,0:02:21.840 +with this enabled + +0:02:19.520,0:02:23.120 +also this is going to have to happen on + +0:02:21.840,0:02:25.360 +every user's machine + +0:02:23.120,0:02:27.520 +because we cannot distribute the native + +0:02:25.360,0:02:28.319 +compilation products they are specific + +0:02:27.520,0:02:29.760 +to the compo + +0:02:28.319,0:02:31.440 +to the processor that you might be + +0:02:29.760,0:02:33.920 +running on so + +0:02:31.440,0:02:35.680 +the emax distribution will remain much + +0:02:33.920,0:02:37.760 +as it is now but if you want to have the + +0:02:35.680,0:02:39.599 +benefits of natively compiled + +0:02:37.760,0:02:41.519 +core lisp files you're going to have to + +0:02:39.599,0:02:42.400 +spend that time and have gcc 10 + +0:02:41.519,0:02:45.840 +available + +0:02:42.400,0:02:48.959 +to get that compilation support um + +0:02:45.840,0:02:52.160 +the gtk only build is being prepared + +0:02:48.959,0:02:52.959 +for merging so what this does is it + +0:02:52.160,0:02:55.120 +throws away + +0:02:52.959,0:02:56.000 +most of the other tool kits that emacs + +0:02:55.120,0:02:59.280 +was using + +0:02:56.000,0:03:01.760 +and relies only on gtk making emacs + +0:02:59.280,0:03:03.920 +much more of a gtk application than it + +0:03:01.760,0:03:06.480 +has been + +0:03:03.920,0:03:08.480 +the main issue here is that we were + +0:03:06.480,0:03:09.360 +abusing gtk in some ways that weren't + +0:03:08.480,0:03:10.879 +really meant + +0:03:09.360,0:03:12.879 +and now we're going to be more of a + +0:03:10.879,0:03:14.080 +first club gtk will be more of a first + +0:03:12.879,0:03:17.040 +class citizen in the + +0:03:14.080,0:03:17.440 +approach and the ways that we use it and + +0:03:17.040,0:03:19.280 +and + +0:03:17.440,0:03:21.200 +be using it in the ways that the gtk + +0:03:19.280,0:03:23.360 +developers intended + +0:03:21.200,0:03:24.640 +there is going to be much more support + +0:03:23.360,0:03:27.280 +for xt mouse + +0:03:24.640,0:03:29.120 +so xt mouse allows you to use your mouse + +0:03:27.280,0:03:30.799 +inside of a terminal window + +0:03:29.120,0:03:33.120 +which you could do before but there were + +0:03:30.799,0:03:36.159 +certain aspects such as menus + +0:03:33.120,0:03:38.239 +that weren't supported so instead of + +0:03:36.159,0:03:39.840 +having kind of partial support for mouse + +0:03:38.239,0:03:42.879 +inside of an x term with xt + +0:03:39.840,0:03:44.959 +mouse you get full support this is going + +0:03:42.879,0:03:46.720 +to allow + +0:03:44.959,0:03:48.159 +changes in the way that things can be + +0:03:46.720,0:03:51.200 +bound the ways that + +0:03:48.159,0:03:53.200 +uh key bindings can the mouse events can + +0:03:51.200,0:03:56.879 +be mapped to key bindings while in + +0:03:53.200,0:03:58.480 +x terms and um yeah little by little + +0:03:56.879,0:03:59.040 +this support is being extended even + +0:03:58.480,0:04:01.599 +further + +0:03:59.040,0:04:04.080 +so we look forward to seeing that + +0:04:01.599,0:04:06.239 +develop in the near term + +0:04:04.080,0:04:08.080 +once this is merged by the way also then + +0:04:06.239,0:04:09.840 +emacs will have mouse support in every + +0:04:08.080,0:04:12.720 +one of its available configurations + +0:04:09.840,0:04:14.680 +which has not been true until now emacs + +0:04:12.720,0:04:17.519 +27 will be soon releasing + +0:04:14.680,0:04:19.919 +27.2 and the pretest for that should + +0:04:17.519,0:04:20.880 +begin sometime soon after emacs comp is + +0:04:19.919,0:04:23.360 +done + +0:04:20.880,0:04:24.800 +and finally emacs 28 is going to get + +0:04:23.360,0:04:26.479 +better emoji support + +0:04:24.800,0:04:29.120 +right now emojis are registered + +0:04:26.479,0:04:31.759 +internally within emacs as symbols + +0:04:29.120,0:04:33.759 +which works in some ways but does not + +0:04:31.759,0:04:37.360 +support some of the special features + +0:04:33.759,0:04:40.000 +of of emojis such as different + +0:04:37.360,0:04:41.120 +skin tones for the hand emoji or face + +0:04:40.000,0:04:43.280 +emojis + +0:04:41.120,0:04:45.199 +in emacs 28 emojis are going to have + +0:04:43.280,0:04:47.199 +their own support within the sequel + +0:04:45.199,0:04:49.360 +c code and then this is going to allow + +0:04:47.199,0:04:52.720 +those types of variations and other + +0:04:49.360,0:04:54.639 +emoji specific font setups so that is + +0:04:52.720,0:04:56.720 +everything for emacs + +0:04:54.639,0:04:59.120 +in the future i don't have a timeline + +0:04:56.720,0:05:01.520 +for you on when 28 will be available + +0:04:59.120,0:05:02.720 +but 27 is going to keep improving until + +0:05:01.520,0:05:04.479 +we're ready to get there + +0:05:02.720,0:05:06.479 +so have fun with the rest of you max + +0:05:04.479,0:05:09.199 +conf and i hope to see you there +
