21.4.19 to be released soon

[Vin Shelton]

Greetings,

I plan on releasing XEmacs 21.4.19 some time next weekend,
January 6 - 8.  As of this morning ET, I have checked in all the
changes that are currently planned to be in the release, so if you
think there's anything missing, you have about a week to let me know.

Please grab the latest 21.4 sources from CVS and build and test the
software.  Please send build reports to
xemacs-buildreports at xemacs.org.

In anticipation of next week's 21.4.19 release, I have copied a native
Windows setup kit to
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/windows/testing/XEmacs%20Setup%2021.4.19-pre1.exe
Please download and install this kit if you are interested.

This README file describes the latest setup kit:

                                                  December 27, 2005

  This directory holds a Windows-native XEmacs setup kit for the stable
  branch of XEmacs, the 21.4 series.  The current release is a pre-release
  version of 21.4.19.  Please download and run 'XEmacs Setup 21.4.19-pre1.exe'
  to install the pre-release of XEmacs 21.4.19 on your Windows computer.
  (Most places in the kit and the installation will refer to 21.4.18,
  but this really is a 21.4.19-pre1 kit.)  Report your findings, including
  bugs and feature requests, to xemacs-beta at xemacs.org.

  This setup kit includes a small set of packages:
  c-support, cc-mode, debug, dired, ecb, edebug, ediff, edit-utils, efs,
  eieio, fsf-compat, mail-lib, net-utils, os-utils, pc, perl-modes,
  prog-modes, semantic, sh-script, sounds-wav, speedbar, texinfo,
  text-modes, time, xemacs-base and xemacs-devel.

  Refer to the Quickstart Package Guide - 
  http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.htmll#Installing_automatically
  - for information on installing further XEmacs packages to extend the editor's
  functionality.

  The md5sum of the setup kit is:

  be207004efaa0910f6b2c3ab4c9a6377  XEmacs Setup 21.4.19-pre1.exe

  This kit was built with Inno Setup, see http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
  for details on Inno Setup.

  Changes December 26, 2006:

  - The default installation directory has been modified to
    C:\Program Files\XEmacs.

  - The packages are now found automatically under the installed package
    tree.  The EMACSPACKAGEPATH registry entry is no longer necessary.

  - If you previously installed one of the XEmacs 21.4.18 setup kits,
    please uninstall that kit before installing the new kit.



Regards,
  Vin
