XEmacs 21.0.67 "20 minutes to 日光" is released
25 years, 9 months
SL Baur
Get it from the not-quite-usual places:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.0/
http://cvs.xemacs.org/
After 14 months, 66 test releases and 1 year of feature freeze
... it's showtime.
Greetings from Tsukuba Japan and day 3 of the m17n99 XEmacs/Free
Software Mule symposium. Today's guest XEmacs releaser is Didier
Verna -- see group picture at a URL to be named later.
The SUMO lisp and packaged lisp will be updated before the end of the
month. Time constraints and the m17n99 Symposium have prevented
getting it updated earlier. The next beta release of 21.2 will be
made sometime around the first weekend of April and the first 21.1
release will be made about the same time.
to 21.0.67 "20 minutes to Nikko"
-- last minute bug & doc fixes
XEmacs 21.2.13 "Demeter" is released
25 years, 9 months
SL Baur
Get it from the usual places:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/
http://cvs.xemacs.org/
This beta contains initial support for ucs-4 and utf-8 character
encoding. The required lisp code to use this is:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/ucs-conv-1.0-pkg.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/ucs-conv-1.01-pkg.tar.gz
Install under mule-packages. Version 1.0 is the original version,
1.01 is a repackaging under the usual XEmacs packaging standards.
Note that it is not yet available under CVS and won't be until
some building problems are addressed. In particular it can't be
bytecompiled with XEmacs 21.0 and one file blows up internal limits in
the bytecompiler and must be dealt with specially.
The recent reported MS Windows build problem related to file-coding
should be fixed.
21.2.14 is scheduled for Saturday, March 20 and will be the last 21.2
beta released while Martin and I are still in Japan.
NOTE: I lied about the release schedule for 21.0.67. It will also be
made on the 20th and will be the final beta before release.
The first 21.1 bug fix release will be made some time in April after I
get back to the US.
I will be at the Linux World Expo on the 18th if I manage not to get
lost in the Japanese public transportation system. If you're in
Japan and wish to meet, please contact either me or IENAGA Kazuyuki
<ienaga(a)jsys.co.jp>.

There has been a minor amount of reorganization to make the build
cleaner. Having the mule-base package around is no longer required
for building XEmacs mule so the XEmacs core is self-contained again.
Please update mule-base to 1.28
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/mule-base-1.28.tar.gz
to avoid unnecessary lisp shadows.
21.2.12 is scheduled for Friday, but if anything slips in the
schedule, it's first on the list to be postponed.

There has been a minor amount of reorganization to make the build
cleaner. Naturally, something went wrong. In order to get the name
right, please apply the following patch if you are not using CVS to
update with. If this is the only new thing wrong[1], I'll be happy ...

Building with Mule should be a little easier now. Mulish dumped lisp
files are now distributed with the core. I will separate them out
into a separate tarball if there are any problems with Latin-1 XEmacs,
but I didn't find any in my own testing.
You will need the latest & greatest mule-base package in order to
avoid lots of Lisp shadows.
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/mule-base-1.28.tar.gz
Install that prior to building the new version and make sure that
the previous directory, lisp/mule-base, gets `rm -rf'ed prior to
installation of the update.
There will be a new 21.0 release in very short order, definitely by
the end of the week. I'm aiming for Friday.

[1] I already know about the hideifdef breakage, but I won't have
time to fix it tonight. An update will be coming first thing in the
morning.
New XEmacs SUMO lisp tarballs are available

ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-mule-sumo-1999-03-01.tar.gz
If you are running with Mule, you will need the mule-sumo. If you
are not running with Mule, you don't.
Updated packages include:
text-mode-1.18
Install htmlize.el
gnus-1.38
Don't install pop3.el

Footnotes:
[1] Incompatible with prior mule-base packages. Be sure that the
lisp/mule-base directory is rm -rf'ed prior to installation if you're
installing by hand. You will also need XEmacs 21.0.64 and/or 21.2.11
in order to build XEmacs/Mule. Prior versions of mule-base will be
O.K. with 21.0.64+ and 21.2.11+, but you will have to ignore all the
Lisp shadows.
