- dynamic modules
are enabled. If you want to disable them please use the above --without-* options.
This patch is enabled by default and can’t be disabled. It adds a
hook, ns-system-appearance-change-functions, that is called once the
system appearance is changed. Functions added to this hook will be
called with one argument, a symbol that is either light or dark. This
mainly allows loading a different theme to better match the system
appearance.
(add-hook 'ns-system-appearance-change-functions
#'(lambda (appearance)
(mapc #'disable-theme custom-enabled-themes)
(pcase appearance
('light (load-theme 'tango t))
('dark (load-theme 'tango-dark t)))))Note that this hook is run early in the startup process, so if you want your theme to match the system appearance when GNU Emacs starts, you can register your function(s) in your early-init.el. The hook is NOT run in TTY sessions.
The portable dumper is available in HEAD. To enable this feature
please use --HEAD --with-pdumper.
For a pdumper configuration example, you could take inspiration from Galactic Emacs: pdumper-init.el and pdumper-config.el configuration files.
This formula support via a (patch) native macOS X Cocoa Xwidgets
support via embedding a native webkit window. To enable this feature
please use --HEAD --with-xwidgets.

Since the option --with-cocoa is not available in the latest GNU Emacs
homebrew-core formula (see pull request), I decided to build my own
formula.
‘Kitchen Sink’ OS Announced
Coding has begun on a new operating system code named ‘Kitchen Sink’. The new OS will be based entirely on GNU Emacs. One programmer explained, “Since many hackers spend a vast amount of their time in Emacs, why not just make it the operating system?” When asked about the name, he responded, “Well, it has been often said that Emacs has everything except a kitchen sink. Now it will.” — James Baughn (http://humorix.org/10016)
