It is not particularly stable at the moment. New bugs are being
introduced as fast as we remove old ones. If you build without Mule
and without the new graphics stuffs, maybe. 21.2 is quite usable if
you are diligent in keeping it patched up. At the moment, the source
tree in CVS is too broken to make 21.2.19.
Is there a tentative release schedule for 21.2?
No. We will release 21.2 when it's ready and not before.
There are a specific set of features that should be in 21.2 before we
release it. In no particular order[1]:
8. Andy Piper's new graphics stuffs
2. Elimination of dumping
12. Synch with FSF 20.4, particularly with regards to Mule stuffs
5. Jan Vroonhof's customization themes and ~/.xemacs
3. UCS4/UTF8 internal encoding changes
7. Michael Sperber's Lisp package overhaul
1. Fix new build problems ie. with X, without menubars, etc.
Some of these are close, I think. I might have left something out.
I'm itching to try it out but only if it is close to suitable
for
production use.
It's not close in the sense you're probably thinking of. InfoDock
isn't quite stable[2] with it, for example.
Footnotes:
[1] With apologies to Kyle for stealing her idea.
[2] It's usable enough that I do all my editing at home with
InfoDock/XEmacs 21.2, but not very close to release quality.

It would be nice if the module stuff was fixed to support MS-WIndows but I
don't know who is going to do that. Certainly not me.

I've added several new configuration tests to my mega build script,
it's now up to 21 tests.
all-guess just "./configure"
dynamic tests --with-shlib
fast non mule, optimized for speed
fastmule mule, optimzied for speed
just-dialogs only use the dialog gui elemnt
just-menubars only use the menubar gui element
just-scrollbars only use the scrollbar gui element
just-toolbars only use the toolbar gui element
just-widgets only use the widget gui elements
lesstif specify motif for scrollbar, dialog, and menubar
min turn off all possible features, except X
mule beta mule
no-dialogs all gui elements except dialogs
no-menubars all gui elements except menus
no-scrollbars all gui elements except scrollbars
no-toolbars all gui elements except toolbars
no-widgets all gui elements except widgets
no-tty no tty code
no-x tty only, no X
reg beta non-mule
xaw3d link with libXaw3d
of the above, only 4 fail. dynamic, just-toolbars, just-widgets, and
min. I had to patch scrollbar-x.c to get just-scrollbars to compile.
This is with the b18 CVS code, I haven't updated anything recently.
The above tests all compile successfully on 21.1.4. with anything
widget related being a no-op in that case.
i've already sent in the "dynamic" failure.

This should get fixed with my patch being applied imminently.
