XEmacs 21.0-b50/pre7 "Benadir" is released

As numerous people pointed out, the 21.0-pre6 distribution was hosed
and did not have any of 21.0-pre6 in it. Sorry about that.[1]
I've checked this one out, and it does have the pre6 patches, except
that it's now called 21.0-pre7. :-P
The next edition of XEmacs 21.0 has been uploaded to the ftp site.

The CVS tag for this beta is `r21-0b50'. CVS revision r21-0b49 is
empty. The CVS tag for the 21.2 branch is `release-21-2'.

XEmacs 21.0-b49/pre6 "Belgian Fawn" is released
26 years, 4 months
SL Baur

This is the start of the out-of-alphabetical order Goats I warned you
about last announcement. They will be alphabetical from now on.
The next edition of XEmacs 21.0 has been uploaded to the ftp site.
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/
CVS sources are at
http://cvs.xemacs.org/
Installable Lisp packages are in:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/packages/binary-packages/
The CVS tag for this beta is `r21-0b49'. The CVS tag for the 21.2
branch is `release-21-2'.
This release contains bug fixes and is a release candidate. I have
further patches for about.el pending that don't effect basic testing.
All such patches will get into 21.0 released. We're going to delay
release until late August for further package support and the binary
coordinator to get back from vacation.
Um, it appears I've screwed up package-get-base.el in both 21.2-b1 and
this release. Could someone please propose some code to deal with
this file coming from ftp.xemacs.org? The whole XEmacs community will
love you if you do.

XEmacs 21.2-beta1 is released
26 years, 4 months
SL Baur
SL Baur
[This is going out in advance of the network update, so please allow
at least 30 minutes from the time in the `Date:' field in this message
for the appropriate areas to get updated. The CVS tree will be
updated *last* because it will be updated when I upload the latest
21.0-pre].
I am putting out the first beta of XEmacs 21.2. Yes, Virginia,
there's going to be another release of XEmacs.
Get it from:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.2/
The CVS tree will be updated later than the FTP site.
The major "feature" in 21.2 is removal of long-dead symbols. This
causes all kinds of things to break, unless you have updated your
packages from today's update.
21.2-beta is going to track 21.0 and 21.1 Lisp package-wise.
I've also opened a 22.0 source tree, but I haven't determined what's
going to go into it. The proposed Lisp engine changes probably need
more time than what I wish to allow for 22.0 (about a year to 18
months). At any rate, the 22.0 tree is wide open for patches, the
21.2 tree is being led by Ben Wing, and his judgement on patches for
it is (mostly) final.
If you've ever considered a career in XEmacs maintenance, but haven't
decided whether it was for you, you might consider apprenticeship.
I'm looking for someone to closely maintain the 21.2 beta tree while
I'm bug-fixing 21.0 and 21.1, and I'll take things back over once 21.1
is released to the 'net. Please email me if you have any interest in
this. This isn't any different than what Vinnie Shelton did with the
19.16 release (and he did a *wonderful* job).

[If another 21.0 release candidate is released, it will be out of
alphabetical order -- be warned]
The next edition of XEmacs 21.0 has been uploaded to the ftp site.
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/
CVS sources are at
http://cvs.xemacs.org/
Installable Lisp packages are in:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/packages/binary-packages/
The CVS tag for this beta is `r21-0b48'.
[NOTE: 21.0-b46/pre3 "Toggenburg" was never announced].
Please use the tarballs on the FTP site in preference to the CVS tree
if you can.
NOTE: The tarballs are named `b48', but this is not a beta. It is a
qualified[1] release candidate. Build it as highly optimized as you dare
and make it feel pain and see how it goes.
Send problems, questions, etc. to xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org, patches to
xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org.
Despite best intentions, I forgot to update package-get-base.el in the
source. Um, we really need to get this file out of XEmacs, now. A
patch is appended.
The next release is unscheduled, but will be made if any showstopping
problems are identified. I think this is stable enough to be a
release candidate.
This release does not contain any of Ben Wing's suggested fixes. No
one else seems to care about them and I don't have the time to make
them myself.
The 21.0 release is on-schedule for 31-July. I hope to have a SUMO
tarball out sometime in the week after next. The later the better ...
