XEmacs 21.0-pre14 (beta57) "Poitou" is released

[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. to 21.0 "Poitou" -- port to Motif >= 2.0 -- help keymap fixes from Jan Vroonhof -- isearch mixed case bugfix from Hrvoje Niksic -- cygwin gnuclient fix from Raymond Toy -- fix for divide by 0 error in non-English MS Windows from Jonathan Harris -- subprocess signalling fix for MS windows from Jonathan Harris -- PROBLEMS file for MS windows from Jonathan Harris -- BSD Fix from Kazuyuki IENAGA -- miscellaneous bug fixes from Altrasoft -- various package fixes -- various documentation updates -- widening fix from Gunnar Everman -- signal fix in find-file-noselect from Hrvoje Niksic -- Memory leak fix from Martin Buchholz -- Memory leak fix from CDE DnD from Oliver Graf There have been Lisp package updates.
