* Fri Oct 16 2026 Martin Pluskal <mpluskal@suse.com>
- Update to 4.4:
* New comment-dwim on M-;, sort-lines, reverse-region,
delete-duplicate-lines, transpose-lines, whitespace-cleanup,
fill-region, tabify/untabify and delete-trailing-whitespace
* New previous-buffer/next-buffer on C-x and the arrow keys,
kill-current-buffer, rename-buffer and minibuffer history per
prompt kind; the minibuffer now reads keys through the editor
keymap, so word motions work there too
* New display-line-numbers-mode, m4-mode and cmake-mode;
makefile-mode highlights automake conditionals
* New delete-selection-mode and ido-mode substring completion at
prompts, both on by default
* New auto-revert-mode (on by default) and auto-revert-tail-mode
to follow a log like tail -f; revert-buffer keeps the line in
every window showing the buffer
* New sentence commands M-a/M-e/M-k and C-x DEL,
recenter-top-bottom on C-l, move-to-window-line-top-bottom on
M-r, where-is and describe-key on C-h w/k, and the IBM CUA
S-Delete/C-Insert/S-Insert cut, copy and paste keys
* New secure mode (-S) and single-file mode (-s) for restricted
shells; --with-modes, --disable-syntax, --disable-help and
- -disable-autorevert to cut features for small builds
* Fix shell command injection when opening a .gz file whose name
contains shell metacharacters
* Fix query-replace, replace-string and the regexp replace
commands corrupting UTF-8 text, and isearch missing matches
when the pattern has non-ASCII letters
* Fix M-d/M-DEL and upcase-word undo on words with non-ASCII
letters; words are now split by Unicode class
* Fix shift, control and Meta with the arrow keys, Home, End,
PgUp/PgDn, Insert and Delete in rxvt and urxvt
* Fix a line over 127 bytes in ~/.mg silently ending the load
* Fix C-x C-k to C-x C-x bindings shifted by one in builds
without dired, and --disable-ctags ignored while cscope was on
* Many more fixes and improvements; see upstream's release notes
for the full list
- Apply mg-keyseqname-ncurses-clash.patch: the keyname() helper
4.4 added for where-is clashes with the keyname(int) that ncurses
declares in curses.h, so the build fails wherever configure finds
ncurses/curses.h; upstream fixed this the same way right after
tagging 4.4
* Wed Sep 16 2026 Martin Pluskal <mpluskal@suse.com>
- Update to 4.1:
* UTF-8 editing in UTF-8 locales, with double-width CJK and
emoji measured per Unicode 17
* Syntax highlighting (font-lock-mode) for C, shell, Python,
Markdown, YAML, git-commit, diff, conf, makefile, and text
* Visual mark mode; shift-arrow and shift-PgUp/PgDn selection
* Side-by-side windows (C-x 3), windmove, and balance-windows
* New line-wrap-mode (off by default)
* git-commit-mode with Magit-like C-c C-c / C-c C-k
* meta-key-mode off by default so 8-bit input works
out of the box
* use-short-answers on by default; new require-final-newline
* Sync with OpenBSD (Mar 2026): replace-regexp infinite loop,
scratch-buffer save prompt, memory leaks, and -flto externs
* Fix ~/.mg errors being hidden on the echo line (issue #41)
* Many more fixes and improvements; see upstream's release notes
for the full list
- Spec cleanup:
* Use %autosetup; drop Group and autoreconf (release tarball
ships configure)
* Ship %{_datadir}/mg/tutorial.gz for C-h t
* Sun Aug 13 2023 Tomasz Hołubowicz <services@alternateved.com> - 3.7
- Update to version 3.7:
* New command display-help-toggle, ensures the quick-help text is
always shown in the status area, enabled by default
* New command apply-macro-to-region-lines by Ben Scuron
* New command end-or-call-last-kbd-macro, used in key bindings
* Map function keys F1-F4 + F10 to common functions:
F1: Toggle quick help
F2: Save current buffer
F3: Start keyboard macro
F4: End keyboard macro, or call latest macro from mark
* Sync with OpenBSD as of April 21, 2023:
Add command set-tab-width to change per-buffer tab width
Sync manual changes: grammar, visual improvements

script. Simplifies code greatly and not needed anymore since it is
enabled by default upstream

* Fix bug where the current markline is not reset after being
cleared, by Ben Scuron

* Add support for --without-docs to skip installation of files to
/usr/share/doc/mg, including the manual
* Install gzipped tutorial in /usr/share/mg/, for built-in help

command instead
