Recompile your .elc files! Recompile your .elc files!
As of this beta, I automatically update the files .message and README
in the root of the ftp site. This is part of the ongoing effort to
have no web or ftp information get stale with new releases.
Brief summary of changes to 21.2.41 "Polyhymnia"
-- A very important fix to the byte-compiler was made.
RE-BYTE-COMPILE all your .el files that were compiled by any older
21.2 byte-compiler (the 21.1 byte-compiler was OK.)
Explicitly remove all .elc files using
cd XEMACS; find . -name '*.elc' -print | xargs rm
and then rebuild using `make'.
