The XEmacs Review Board has approved targeting a release for March 1, 2001, based on the code currently in the 21.2 tree. That's all that's official at this point. Everything else is more or less still open for debate. Please debate! xemacs-beta will be the primary forum for discussion of release plans. The next steps: We will make a public announcement of the release target and major features on comp.emacs.xemacs, comp.emacs, and the XEmacs home page probably in a week or ten days. I'm the Release Manager pro tem, and will probably be confirmed in that role shortly, unless a more qualified volunteer steps forward. (Don't be shy!) The current draft proposal is available at http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Tools/XEmacs/21.2-Draft/index.html http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/public-21.2/index.html http://xemacs.sourceforge.net/Releases/public-21.2/index.html The most current version will be available from cvs.xemacs.sourceforge.net in the xemacsweb module. (The reason for the profusion of URLs is that the automatic update scripts on SourceForge are currently unreliable, to say the least, and SourceForge is being slow to respond to the problem.) Please note: I have done my best to ensure that the Draft Release Proposal reflects the current opinions and latest information from the Review Board and the core developers. But I'm the only one who has touched this, and it's being done in a big hurry---so there are surely errors of fact and tone. ALL errors and misinterpretations are mine alone. I would like to thank the Review Board members and several core developers not on the board for their discussion and other input in the process of preparing this proposal. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
