Other Changes in Epsilon 10

The compare-windows command now ignores whitespace. See the compare-windows-ignores-space variable.
Epsilon retains more undo history in all 32-bit versions. Undo now restores the unmodified state of a buffer when appropriate, and displays an indication when passing a buffer-save or buffer-read in the undo history. Rereading a buffer is now undoable. Epsilon resets the modified flag when undoing or redoing makes the buffer identical to its most recent saved version.
In Unix, selecting text with the mouse copies it to a kill buffer (and the clipboard), like copy-region does. See the mouse-selection-copies variable. In Unix, the center mouse button yanks text instead of panning. See the mouse-center-yanks variable.
In auto-fill mode, Epsilon will now break the line as soon as it becomes too long, instead of waiting until you type a <Space>.
The default tab size outside of C mode is now 8. It remains 4 inside C mode.
The fill-paragraph command accepts a numeric argument over 5 as a temporary margin. A lower value still means to use an infinite margin (unfill).
Epsilon for Windows can draw a focus rectangle around the current line, for users who have trouble seeing the cursor. See the draw-focus-rectangle variable. It can also draw column markers at user-specified columns; see the draw-column-markers variable.
Epsilon for Windows now uses heuristics to determine whether its command line contains a single file name containing spaces, or a series of file names.
The cd command shows and completes only on directories.
By default, Epsilon no longer searches for a session file. If you want Epsilon to search through the current directory tree as in previous versions, change the session-tree-root variable. Some new variables starting with session- let you customize what Epsilon restores.
In bufed, Shift-P prints the current buffer. Also, bufed now displays an R to indicate a read-only buffer.
Printing in Epsilon for Windows now includes margins. Use the print-setup command or File/Print Setup from the menu to alter them. Running a print command with a numeric argument now makes it skip displaying a dialog. There are also new variables to include line numbers and control wrapping.
The save-all-buffers command on Ctrl-x s now continues if some files could not be saved, saves the rest, then reports how many files could not be saved.
The <Space> and <Backspace> keys now page forward and backward in all read-only buffers. Set the new readonly-pages variable to zero to disable this.
Windows Explorer-style file dialogs now retain their current directory setting from one Epsilon session to the next.
Internet URLs for http may now include user and password information for sites that require basic authentication.
When telnet notices a password prompt, it displays a dialog to hide the password. Telnet also interprets some formatting such as underlining that may appear in command output.
The auto-quote-allowed variable, used when typing accented characters, was removed. Epsilon now handles such characters differently.
