Yes Virginia, there's going to be an XEmacs 21.2 beta4 ... If I haven't ACKed[1] a patch by now, it won't be making this beta. This is only lightly tested, but it compiles and appears to run. The code has been checked into CVS and shouldn't change much when I make the formal release with tarballs, patches, announcement, later today. uname -a: Linux demeter.xemacs.org 2.1.130 #2 SMP Fri Nov 27 02:59:29 PST 1998 i686 unknown ./configure '--cflags=-O2' '--error-checking=none' '--debug=no' '--with-mule=yes' '--with-dialogs=athena3d' '--with-scrollbars=athena3d' '--use-union-type=no' '--with-xim=xlib' '--with-xfs' '--mail-locking=file' '--extra-verbose=no' XEmacs 21.2-b4 "Aglaophonos" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
