I'm going to be doing releases for a while. This is my first release as release engineer, so I expect things to go wrong. The only feature of this release (aside from its content) is that patches are now built using `makepatch'. They can be applied traditionally using patch, or run as a shell script, or applied using `applypatch' from the makepatch package, available at these URLs: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/JV http://www.squirrel.nl/people/jvromans/ This beta release was produced using new and untested technology, but it should appear to you like any other. Let me know what I've missed so I can do better next time. I'm hoping that 21.2.24 will be released once the current Irix or Windows problems are declared fixed. to 21.2.23 "Hebe" -- MS-Windows selection fixes from Mike Alexander -- MS-WIndows process handling fixes from Mike Alexander -- Subwindow GC fix from Andy Piper -- Various minor fixes from Andy Piper -- Rewrite module configure support, Martin Buchholz -- Various Windows fixes, Martin Buchholz, Adrian Aichner, Andy Piper -- HP native compiler compilation fixes, Martin Buchholz -- Workarounds for Cygnus compiler bugs, Martin Buchholz -- Workarounds for Cygwin broken header files, Martin Buchholz -- itimers work again, Kyle Jones -- random code cleanup, Martin Buchholz -- various redisplay fixes, Andy Piper, Jan Vroonhof -- various fixes from Hrvoje Niksic, Yoshiki Hayashi
