Hi,
I just hg-cloned https://bitbucket.org/xemacs/xemacs.
"hg tags |head -5" tells
tip 5751:2b8edd304c2b
r21-5-33 5712:bee2e2568828
r21-5-latest-beta 5673:900a0a8796c3
r21-5-32 5673:900a0a8796c3
r21-5-31 5482:384423af8fb5
Shouldn't the tag r21-5-latest-beta get moved to r21-5-33?
Just wondering... ;-)
Joachim

It will when the release actually happens, but updating the website
and a mail announcement needs to come first according to procedure and
that has run into snags.

Sorry, on the website it's mentioned as the last stable release,
and -- according to ChangeLog -- r21-5-33 was released in
2013-01-04, more than 7 months ago. I didn't pay attention if there
was a mail announcement then.
When I want to use the last stable version, do I use
r21-5-latest-beta or do I use r21-5-33? Or tip ;-) ?

If you're serious about "stable", use latest 21.4. 21.5 does not
guarantee backward compatibility, although some of us occasionally
yell when some commit violates our sensibilities. :-)
Otherwise I'd use Mercurial tip 2-3 days after the most recent commit.
On the minus-not-so-bad side, anything deep enough to escape those 2-3
days got by our test suite anyway. On the plus side, you're likely to
pick up increased GNU compatibility.

If you're serious about "stable", use latest 21.4.
I'm using 21.5 since 2006, so the question was more meant along
`which 21.5 version is recommended'. Sorry, I should have expressed
myself clearer.
Otherwise I'd use Mercurial tip 2-3 days after the most recent commit.
OK, thanks for the answer. I'll do so.

There's also the xemacs-beta repo, which I push to with a few days
delay, after building and running once.
