[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.
