* XEmacs 21.5.16 "celeriac" is released. "celeriac" is the 17th in the VEGETABLE series. The tarballs will be in place later this evening. In the meantime, can anyone tell me what on earth a "celeriac" is? :-) For general information about XEmacs, the developers, and the user community, see our home page, http://www.xemacs.org/ * XEmacs 21.5.16 is "beta" software. The usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/WARRANTY, sections 10 and 11) applies. Being "beta" software means that you should expect to encounter bugs, you should expect it to crash, and you really shouldn't be using it for "mission critical" tasks. * Availability Anonymous ftp: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.5 If you already have a 21.5.15 source tree, a patch kit is available in xemacs-21.5.15-21.5.16.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 patch kits. Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html. Anonymous (pserver) CVS: Anonymous CVS is available. We are very grateful to the staff at our host, SunSITE.dk, for a lot of help and quick response to all our requests. To update to release 21.5.16, use the release tag "r21-5-x". To set a sticky tag which will always update to the current release, use the branch tag "r21-5-latest-beta". For more details, see http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/cvsaccess.html * Brief summary of Changes to XEmacs 21.5.16 "celeriac" to 21.5.16 "celeriac" Build -- Don't detect GNU DLD - James. -- Better detection of sound on Solaris9 - Buchholz. -- Add support detecting SunOS 5.10 in configure - Buchholz. -- Use '-bundle' when testing ability to build shared libs, but use '-bundle_loader' in ellcc - Begel. -- Output separate declaration and definition for dump_id - James. -- Add Makefile targets to build PDF docs - Wambold. -- Don't mangle the unload function in `unload_postgresql' and `unload_ldap' when compiling with C++ - James. -- Use extern "C" for C++ builds - James. -- Conditionally compile messages missing from the Cygwin headers - James. -- Add cast to quiet compiler in unexcw.c - James. -- Quiet compiler warnings about struct stat in syswindows.h - James. -- Test \{m,n\} in regexp-tests - Turnbull.
