They can be highlighted if you so desire using appropriate +class arguments and/or the variable mmm-delimiter-face. They are also +in an appropriate major mode, or non-mode as the case may be. + +** Nested Submodes + +Nested submodes are now vaguely supported. + +** RPM Spec File + +An RPM spec file, contributed by <bishop@platypus.bc.ca>, is now +included for people who wish to build their own SRPM to install from. + +** New Submode Classes + +Many thanks to Joe Kelsey for writing a very intelligent class for +editing Noweb files, and to Alan Shutko for one for CWeb files. We +also have a mode for SGML DTD definitions from Yann Dirson. + +** Numerous bugfixes and small improvements + + +* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.7 + +** Multiple Decoration Levels + +You now have finer control over how colorful your submode regions are, +via `mmm-submode-decoration-level'. Level 0 turns coloring off--no +messing around with faces required. Level 1 (default) is the same as +in previous versions. Level 2 colors regions according to function: +initialization, cleanup, output, declaration, comment, etc. + +** Preferred Major Modes + +The variable `mmm-major-mode-preferences' lets you tell MMM what modes +you prefer for different programming languages and they will be used +by all submode classes. + +** New Submode Classes + +New submode classes for JSP and ePerl are included. A major bug in +the handling of embedded Java (and other C-type languages) was fixed, +so the JSP class should work consistently. + + +* MMM Mode 0.4.6 is a bug-fix release with one user-visible change: + +** New Submode Class for RPM Spec Files + +Contributed by Marcus Harnisch, the `rpm' submode class allows editing +appropriate parts of RPM spec files in shell-script mode. + + +* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.5 + +** Font-Lock works again in XEmacs + +The MMM code to handle font-locking broke in XEmacs several versions +back due to differences in the font-lock implementation between Emacs +and XEmacs. It appears to be working once again. + +** Here-Document submode class improved + +Here-document names such as <<TEXT_EOF and <<END_PERL_CODE are now +correctly recognized, and `mmm-here-doc-mode-alist' allows you to +define your own mappings from here-document names to submodes. + + +* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.4 + +** Tab Completion in `mmm-ify-by-class' (`C-c % C-c') + +When interactively specifying a submode class, completion on all +defined public (not internal/private) submode classes is available. + +** Submode classes can now be autoloaded + +You don't need (require 'mmm-mason) or (require 'mmm-sample) in your +.emacs file any more; all the supplied submode classes that are not +automatically loaded are autoloaded from their files of definition. + +** Here-Document submode class can now recognize any submode + +As long as the name of the here-document is or begins with the name of +the appropriate submode, suitably mangled, such as <<HTML or +<<HTML_MODE or <<HTML_MODE_EOF, it should be correctly recognized. + +** New File Variables submode class + +Actually, this is an old submode class that now works (better than +before) with the new post-0.3.8 syntax for class definition. It is a +good candidate for membership in `mmm-global-classes' if you use many +file-local variables, but is not there by default. + +** New flags :include-{front,back} + +If the keywords INCLUDE-FRONT or INCLUDE-BACK are set to non-nil +values in a submode class definition, the corresponding delimiter will +be included inside the submode region. + +** New values for :{front,back}-offset + +The keywords FRONT-OFFSET and BACK-OFFSET can now be function to call, +such as `beginning-of-line' or `end-of-line', or lists of values to +apply in sequence, such as (end-of-line 1). + +** Search for next region now starts at end of previous one + +...rather than at the end of the previous region's ending delimiter. +This allows matching regions ended only by the start of the next one. + + +* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.3 + +** Syntax of Universal Class Changed + +Instead of %[MODE]% ... %[/MODE]%, the universal class now uses +{%MODE%} ... {%/MODE%} which isn't quite as ugly and doesn't to my +knowledge conflict with any other syntax. + +** Some Bugs under Emacs 19 and XEmacs Fixed + + +* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.2 + +** Global Classes and `Universal' Class + +The new variable `mmm-global-classes' is the inverse of `mmm-classes' +in that it contains submode classes which apply to all MMM Mode +buffers unless turned off manually with file-local variables. By +default, it contains the class `universal', which defines the syntax +%[MODE]% ... %[/MODE]% to specify regions of any mode. This allows, +for instance, example code embedded in an email to be both edited by +the sender and viewed by the receiver in an appropriate mode. + +** New Embperl Submode Class + +The new supplied submode class `embperl', which can be loaded with +(require 'mmm-sample), detects the Embperl syntax [+...+] (and so on) +for embedded Perl code. + + +* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.1 + +** Font Lock Parsing Speed Improved + +Extra regions were being parsed due to an error in finding the right +regions, slowing down the parsing considerably. This has been fixed. + + +* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.0 + +** Improved Local Variable Saving + +Local variables can now be saved for only some major modes, as well as +both globally, per-buffer, or per-submode region. This facility is +now used to save the font-lock cache state, possible improving the +font-lock support. See the docs for `mmm-save-local-variables'. + +** Get and Set Class Parameters + +The functions `mmm-[get,set]-class-parameters' do just that. The +latter modifies the definition of a submode class, affecting all +subsequent applications of that class. + +** New Implementation for MMM Global Mode + +The implementation of MMM Global Mode has been changed from the +"stack-walk" method to the "post-command-hook" method used by +global-font-lock-mode. This is arguably cleaner, but more +importantly, waits until after all local variables and text are loaded +before trying to enabling MMM Mode. + + +* MMM Mode 0.3.10 is a bug-fix release with no user-visible changes + + +* MMM Mode 0.3.9 is a bug-fix release with no user-visible changes + + +* Changes in MMM Mode 0.3.8 + +** IMPORTANT: Default key bindings have changed. + +The MMM Mode commands, including interactive MMM-ification and +re-parsing buffer regions, are now bound by default to key sequences +of the form `C-c % C-<letter>', rather than `C-c % <letter>' as +in previous versions. Key sequences of the form `C-c % <letter>' are +now reserved for submode region insertion. The old behavior can be +restored by setting the variable `mmm-use-old-command-keys' to a +non-nil value before MMM Mode is loaded--then insertion commands are +bound to `C-c % C-<letter>' sequences. + +** New Global Mode added + +MMM Global Mode can now turn MMM Mode on automatically in all buffers, +or only in buffers that have associated submode classes. It replaces +the previous function `mmm-add-find-file-hook', which still works for +now. A side effect of this change is that it is no longer necessary +to use `mmm-add-mode-ext-class': `mmm-mode-ext-classes-alist' can be +modified directly. + +The hack used by MMM Global Mode to insinuate itself into all buffers +is different from, but vaguely similar to, the one used by FSF Emacs' +Global Font Lock Mode. In order that future writers of global modes +don't have to reinvent the wheel, MMM Global Mode provides the hook +`mmm-major-mode-hook' which is run (in theory) whenever a major mode +starts up. Perhaps in future this will be provided in a separate +package. + +** Automatic submode region insertion commands + +Submode classes can now define skeletons for automatic insertion of +submode regions with delimiters. For example, when using the Mason +class, the key sequence `C-c % %' will (by default) insert the text +`<% -!- %>' with point where indicated and submode region already +present. These commands also wrap around words as described in the +documentation of `skeleton-insert'. + +** Info Documentation File + +MMM Mode now has an (admittedly incomplete) manual in Texinfo format. +It can be found in the files `mmm.info' or `mmm.texinfo' in the +distribution. + +** Automatic Installation + +MMM Mode now uses GNU automake/autoconf for ease of installation. See +the files README and INSTALL for more information. + +** Changed submode class specification format + +This change affects only people who define their own submode classes. +The format for defining submode classes has changed; it now uses +keyword arguments for clarity and has a few more possible arguments, +including skeletons for submode region insertion. |
