Get it from the usual places: http://cvs.xemacs.org/ ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.2/ Builds for distribution are now being done on cvs.xemacs.org. The noticeable changes from this are that that machine does not yet have a complete XEmacs maintainer-friendly environment, but it's close. The .tar.gz's are back. There are no PGP signatures because we don't have a functional PGP or the equivalent yet. This build drops core immediately for me, though it may last longer for others. After building try the following: xemacs-21.2.5 -nw -q M-x find-library packages M-x font-lock-mode M-x fast-lock-mode and report the results to xemacs-beta. It drops core on both machines (Linux 2.1 and BSDI 3.0) I've built it on. If you haven't built 21.0 and are comfortable with XEmacs 21, this is definitely not for you. As of this beta, I'm forking myself off of the XEmacs 21.2 branch to concentrate what little time I have on 21.0. Report all bugs and problems to xemacs-beta. to 21.2 beta5 "Aphrodite" -- bytecode interpreter rewritten -- byte compiler fixes -- hash table implementation rewritten -- basic lisp functions rewritten -- spelling fixes -- garbage collector tuned a little -- various global code changes for consistency -- automated test suite -- major internals manual updates -- lisp reference updates to 21.2 beta4 "Aglaophonos" -- isearch keymap fix from Katsumi Yamaoka -- directory_files cleanup from Hrvoje Niksic -- C implementation of base64 from Hrvoje Niksic -- C implementation of `buffer-substring-no-properties' from Hrvoje Niksic -- Experimental fix for spurious `file has changed on disk' message from Charles Waldman -- Fix for etags.el hook calling from Malcolm Box -- User-name-completion fix for MS Windows NT from Greg Klanderman
