* XEmacs 21.5.31 "ginger" is released. "ginger" is the thirty-second in the VEGETABLE series. The successor to XEmacs 21.5.30 "garlic", "ginger" adds NO NEW CODE. "ginger" is a release for the purpose of providing a checkpoint and fallback for the code base which will be licensed only under version 3 or later of the GNU General PUblic license. We expect that there will be a lot of churn in the code base as various developers synch libraries to the most recent versions in GNU Emacs. Sayonara, GPL v2! You served us well for quite some time! This is the development line. The current series started with XEmacs 21.5.0 (an alias for XEmacs 21.4.0 "Solid Vapor", the first release in the current stable line). 21.5 is the code base for introduction of major new subsystems and fixes to design bugs that experience shows will introduce instability. So far the main effort has been on improved support for Unicode, updates to the build infrastructure, and development of new features in memory allocation. For general information about XEmacs, the developers, and the user community, see our home page, http://www.xemacs.org/ * XEmacs 21.5.31 is "beta" software. The usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/COPYING, sections 10 and 11) applies. At this point in time, it is the version that most developers are using for their daily work. However, it is certain that many bugs remain and new ones will be introduced as development proceeds. Be sure to take care to safe your work often and follow a regular backup regime. * Availability Anonymous ftp: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.5 See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/ for more information about building from source. If you already have a 21.5.30 source tree, a patchkit is available in xemacs-21.5.30-21.5.31.patch.gz. This does not update .elcs or .infos. They will be rebuilt when you make XEmacs. If you have an earlier version, you can repeatedly apply patchkits. Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html. * Brief summary of Changes to XEmacs 21.5.31 "ginger" # DO NOT PUT A VERSION MARKER HERE, ADDED AT RELEASE -------- ChangeLog Entries from ChangeLog -------- 2011-04-29 Stephen J.
