MacOS/Linux/FreeBSD-Specific Changes in Epsilon 14
- Under X11, Epsilon now sets the mouse cursor to different shapes
in a way similar to Windows, and its default shape is now an I-beam
instead of an arrow. (Setting the
std_pointer variable to 0 under
X11 using the set-any-variable command restores the former
arrow cursor.)
- On Unix and Mac systems, the set-font and
set-color commands in the X11 environment have been
reimplemented (to eliminate their dependence on a 32-bit-only helper
program).
- The Linux version's packages now install into /opt by default
instead of /usr/local, and includes a new Epsilon icon for window
manager menus.
- Epsilon for macOS is now code-signed, 64-bit, and uses a new
startup helper program. It now requires macOS 10.9 or later.
- Epsilon's concurrent process startup script now creates the
appropriate settings for zsh (which is now the default shell in macOS
as of version 10.15 Catalina).
- The preserve-filename-case variable recognizes two new bit
values. In Epsilon for Mac OS, the 16 bit makes Epsilon treat file
names as case-sensitive (instead of the default, case-preserving). In
Epsilon for Linux/FreeBSD, the 32 bit makes Epsilon treat file names
as case-preserving (by default they're case-sensitive). (Under
Windows, Epsilon retrieves this information from the OS separately for
each drive.)
- On Mac OS, Linux, and FreeBSD, you can now set the 32 bit in the
dired-layout variable to make dired show the full date including
year and seconds for all files. (By default it mimics the format of
"ls -l", showing either a year or hours and minutes, never both and
never seconds.)
- On macOS, Epsilon now starts each interactive subprocess shell
as a login shell. This is needed because in macOS there often isn't
any parent process shell running as a login shell (as there would be
in other Unix-like operating systems), so login tasks like
initializing the environment would not be performed otherwise.
- Epsilon for X11 will now read any custom X11 resource
definitions you put in a file named
~/.epsilon/Xcustomresources .
