Aha. But I'm still a bit surprised that the changesets of the former stable version
are nowhere
to be found in the repository of the new beta version derived from it. Or is 21.5 really
derived
from 21.2 and 21.4 is some sort of (stable) dead branch?
Right. The most recent common ancestor is XEmacs 21.2.46 of 2001-03-21.
Shortly after that 21.4 became the stable branch and 21.5 became the
development branch.

Yes, I have noticed it's not very active, but I'm more than glad it's
active at all, after it looked as good as dead not so long ago ...
And no, I'm not interested in Windows binaries, I prefer to roll my own ... :-)
Great, glad to read it!
