* XEmacs 21.4.21 "Educational Television" is released. "Educational Television" is the twentieth-first release in the OXYMORON series. The latest stable release of XEmacs, XEmacs 21.4.21 - "Educational Television", is now available from xemacs.org and its mirrors. * Availability Anonymous ftp: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.4 See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/. As of 21.4.18, only a source tarball has been supplied. There was virtually no use of the info and elc tarballs, so xemacs-21.4.21.tar.gz and xemacs-21.4.21.tar.bz2 are the only tarballs supplied. If you already have a 21.4.20 source tree, a patchkit is available in xemacs-21.4.20-21.4.21.patch.gz. This does not update .elcs or .infos, they will be rebuilt when you make XEmacs. If you have an earlier version, you can repeatedly apply patchkits. The tarballs and patches are signed with my GPG key, available from most public keyservers and also from ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/pgp-keys/vin_shelton.asc Here are the MD5 check sums of each of the files related to the XEmacs 21.4.21 release: e63f1420788cc45edd56c1a95df02633 xemacs-21.4.20-21.4.21.patch.gz 878bb94b1bf6da29ce60731130bb5a20 xemacs-21.4.20-21.4.21.patch.gz.asc 1669330c839780791242fed788ef5482 xemacs-21.4.21.tar.bz2 3bd85fee135cfe90dd1cdd7e9cb91aae xemacs-21.4.21.tar.bz2.asc 87b051f12d1bb344ca4da1907100f1b5 xemacs-21.4.21.tar.gz 03c28f1a76db7baebf25b33dd939bcb6 xemacs-21.4.21.tar.gz.asc Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html. Anonymous (pserver) CVS: Anonymous CVS is available. We are very grateful to the staff at our host, SunSITE.dk, for a lot of help and quick reponse to all our requests. If you haven't used XEmacs CVS recently, we moved the repository before the 21.4.6 release. The repository structure is the same as before, so it should be possible to reuse an existing checked-out CVS tree. Take care that your Root is set correctly to CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/pack/xemacscvs On platforms with a Bourne shell and find available, something like for r in `find . -name Root`; do echo $CVSROOT > $r; done will convert your entire tree. Tags are also the same; to update to release 21.4.21, use the release tag "r21-4-21". To set a sticky tag which will always update to the current release, use the branch tag "release-21-4".
