XEmacs 21.2.19 "新宿" is released
25 years, 4 months
SL Baur
Get it from the usual places:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.2/
http://cvs.xemacs.org/
New XEmacs lisp packages have been uploaded as well. The new Sumos
are in:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-sumo.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-mule-sumo.tar.gz
Everything has been rebuilt & repackaged in order to fix an
installation bug. Many packages have been updated. VM is now
current, BBDB is now current to name two.
Lots of bug fixes, lots of new bugs to find, in other words a typical
beta XEmacs. Enjoy.
"Shinjuku" is the ward of Tokyo where Jareth Hein lives. It is a very
cool place to visit.
It is 90/90 today, 90+ degrees and 90+% humidity. Please forgive me
for being terse.
Happy Birthday in advance to Jason Mastaler (Saturday is his birthday).

XEmacs 21.2.18 -- "豊島" is released
25 years, 5 months
SL Baur
Get it from the usual places:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.2/
http://cvs.xemacs.org/
I am having connectivity problems again with cvs, hopefully it is just
the Japanese phone company again and it will be fixed soon.
New XEmacs lisp packages have been uploaded as well. The new Sumos
are in:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-sumo.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-mule-sumo.tar.gz
New and highly-changed packages include lookup (a very cool Japanese
dictionary front end), new mailcrypt with gpg support, ps-print-nomule
(a forked old version of ps-print, but one that still works with
XEmacs/noMule). egg-its has some major bug fixes. calendar now
supports Japanese calendars.
"Toshima" is a ward of Tokyo where the Sunshine Namjatown theme park
is. The English descriptions of the rides were done by someone who
does not speak English and some very interesting translations are made.
For example, the Katori Daisakusen[1] ride has the description: "Save the
district from huge mosquitoes that were bred in vast quantities! Ride
an unglazed pig and kill mosquitoes with a spray gun."
21.2.19 "name TBD, maybe Shinjuku" is tentatively scheduled for
Friday, but will probably end up being some time early next week.
There is more InfoDock synchage to do, and 21.2.19 will definitely
come after InfoDock 4.0.8.

In addition to those changes, I ran 'make config' to update our
configuration files, and I made a minor patch to src/config.h.in,
following the recommendation of Olivier Galibert.
I hope this all works; I will be out of touch starting tomorrow
afternoon until Tuesday evening.
