The next edition of XEmacs 21.0 has been uploaded to the ftp site. ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/ CVS sources are at http://cvs.xemacs.org/ Installable Lisp packages are in: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/packages/binary-packages/ The CVS tag for this beta is `r21-0b47'. [NOTE: 21.0-b46/pre3 "Toggenburg" was never announced]. Please use the tarballs on the FTP site in preference to the CVS tree if you can. NOTE: The tarballs are named `b47', but this is not a beta. It is a qualified[1] release candidate. Build it as highly optimized as you dare and make it feel pain and see how it goes. Send problems, questions, etc. to xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org, patches to xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org. The next release is unscheduled, but will be made once showstopping problems are identified, if any. I think this is stable enough to start thinking about opening up the next cycle's development trees. Details will be posted to xemacs-beta. Updated packages: mule-base-1.19 Romanian and Russian Tutorial support rmail-1.04 etc/BABYL added xemacs-base-1.21 etc/enriched.doc added color fixes for passwd.el compile.el fix to be nice to the c-mode hook calendar-1.04 Massive synch with FSF 20.2, this is the first update of this package in three years. egg-its-1.05 Yomi fix for egg-wnn edict-1.03 Bug fixes vm-1.09 VM-6.53, removal of dumped-lisp.el sounds-au-1.02 sounds-wav-1.02 NOTE: the sounds packages have not yet been added to the CVS tree.
