[This release was announced informally on xemacs-beta earlier this
week. Also, this release was sponsored by Altrasoft.]
Available from the usual places:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/
If you are patching up from something earlier than pre13, the
pre13/beta56 patch kit is in:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0-preliminary/
CVS sources are at
http://cvs.xemacs.org/
Installable Lisp packages are in:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/
The Lisp packages must be installed in
${prefix}/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages and
${prefix}/lib/xemacs/mule-packages prior to building the XEmacs
binary.
The showstopper list is at:
http://devel.xemacs.org/xemacs/showstoppers.html
and 21.0 won't be released until it gets an O.K. from Ben Wing and I
don't plan on any further releases prior to the one we make for 'net
release. All Lisp packages will be rebuilt/repackaged prior to 'net
release.

XEmacs 21.2-beta2 "Aether" is released
26 years, 2 months
SL Baur
[This release was informally announced on xemacs-beta earlier this
week]
Available from the usual places:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.2/
CVS sources are at
http://cvs.xemacs.org/
Use the release tag `release-21-2' to get this branch. The default
branch is XEmacs 21.0.
Installable Lisp packages are in:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/
See the 21.0-pre14 announcement for instructions about dealing with
the most recent Lisp package updates.
XEmacs 21.2 is an experimental, alpha developmental branch of XEmacs.
If you haven't installed XEmacs 21.0 and are not comfortable with
the packaging system don't try installing it.
Currently the differences from 21.2 are fairly slight. ~user completion
works in the minibuffer, a large number of obsolete variables has been
removed and indirect buffers have been implemented.
There is no currently scheduled date for beta3 and it probably won't
arrive any time in the very near future.
to 21.2 beta2 "Aether"
-- Synched with 21.0-pre14 "Poitou"
-- isearch improvements from Hrvoje Niksic
-- bytecompiler fix from Martin Buccholz
-- shadow.el speedup from Martin Buchholz
-- clash detection update from Jan Vroonhof
-- Indirect buffers from Hrvoje Niksic
-- ~user completion cleanup from Greg Klanderman
-- New face property from Didier Verna
-- ~user completion and fixes from Greg Klanderman
-- casefiddle.c speedup from Martin Buchholz
