Zile is Lossy Emacs

Zile project is a small Emacs clone. Zile is a customizable, self-documenting real-time open-source display editor. Zile was written to be as similar as possible to Emacs; every Emacs user should feel at home.

Features:

• Small:
• It is very useful for small footprint installations (like on floppy disk) or quick editing sessions. A typical binary is about 100Kb.
• 8-bit clean:
• Zile can operate with binary files.
• Looks like Emacs:
• Most Zile key sequences and function names are identical to Emacs ones.
• Multi buffer editing with multi level undo:
• The number of files and undo operations that Zile can handle is limited only by memory.
• Multi window:
• Zile can display multiple windows on the screen.
• Killing, yanking and registers:
• The standard killing, yanking and register features of Emacs are available under Zile.
• Minibuffer completion:
• Zile can complete commands and filenames in the minibuffer.
• Auto fill (word wrap):
• Zile automatically breaks the lines when they become too wide (if the Auto Fill Mode is enabled).

What is new in this release:

• Fixes a potential crash and a cosmetic bug in global-set-key when used interactively.
• Adds many more tests.

What is new in version 2.4.6:

• This version fixes a crash in non-incremental searching the first time it is used interactively.

What is new in version 2.4.5:

• An egregious bug resulting in a crash whenever a non-existent file was edited was fixed along with other potential crash bugs in the low-level text-handling routine, estr_replace.

What is new in version 2.4.4:

• find-file and find-file-read-only now work non-interactively.
• Minor build system fixes have been applied.
• Some code cleanup has been done.
• A slight speed improvement has been made for general editing operations.

What is new in version 2.4.3:

• This version fixes a crash on certain terminals.
• It fixes a recently-introduced display bug in isearch.

What is new in version 2.4.2:

What is new in version 2.4.0.50:

• Many bugs have been fixed.
• The build system is now non-recursive.

What is new in version 2.4.0 Alpha 1:
