Aquamacs Emacs 1.1

Aquamacs is a Mac-like distribution of the powerful Emacs text editor. By "mac-like", we mean more than just the fact that this version of Emacs runs as a standard OS X application. Aquamacs features extensive customization that enables it to conform better with Apples standard Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) than standard versions of the editor do.
Emacs is a text editor of legendary power and configurability, but it also has an enormously complex interface that, while consistent across platforms, is usually at odds with the specific interface conventions of the particular platform on which it is being used. The same applies to the OS X version of GNU Emacs, called Carbon Emacs. Aquamacs is different - it provides a more Mac-like user experience and the comfort youve come to expect from other excellent Mac programs. It builds on GNU Emacs 22, however, so youll be able to use all your favorite extensions (and even the good-old Emacs key bindings, if you like!).
Enhancements:
- Based on GNU Emacs 22.1.
- Aquamacs is now much faster when opening new frames (windows).
- The Aquamacs binary now starts fine from the command-line on certain Intel machines.
- Preferences file loading has been revised. Aquamacs now displays helpful error messages if one of the Preferences files causes problems. M-x aquamacs-load-preferences allows users to test their preference files. Starting from a Terminal window by calling the ``Aquamacs Emacs binary with a ``-q argument will prevent Aquamacs from loading any preference files, not just .emacs. (Note that customizations.el is not meant to be edited by users.)
- Aquamacs now starts up faster.
- Aquamacs does not define a number of fontsets any longer on startup. Since the font selection dialog can be used (Apple-T), fonts can be chosen freely and fontsets only need to be defined to combine fonts, which is rarely needed. Users may define their fontsets as before - Aquamacs just doesnt do it for them (unless such fontsets are used in customizations). Call (aquamacs-create-standard-fontsets) from Preferences.el should any problem occur.
- Emacs 22 Manuals (man / info, available from the Help menu) are now displayed on all systems. Reported by Eric Martin.
- Customization groups are not shown in separate windows any longer.
- Plugins may now contain `info files, which will automatically be found by Aquamacs (and M-x info). Reported by Wei Tang.
- An issue with the font size on some pages of the Aquamacs manual (as available from the Help menu) has been addressed. Reported by David Romano.
- The ``Emulate Some Italian Option key combinations mode (emulate-mac-italian-keyboard-mode) allows users to type ``m again. Reported by Domenico Prattichizzo.
- X Resources specified via the OS X defaults system (plist) are not supported any longer.
