Announcing XEmacs 21.1.2
XEmacs 21.1.2 is now available. This is a version of Emacs derived from
Emacs version 19 from the Free Software Foundation.
This is a major upgrade from 20.4, containing many new features and
bugfixes. Development work has stopped on this version and bug fix /
maintenance releases will be made available periodically.
A complete list of features and improvements, the complete list of
mirror sites, the current FAQ, and several other XEmacs related items
can be found at the XEmacs World Wide Web page: http://www.xemacs.org/.
The two major features of the 21.1 series are: 1. support for Microsoft
systems and 2. Unbundling of Lisp code into packages.
You can get XEmacs via anonymous FTP from FTP.XEMACS.ORG (207.96.122.8).
Please see README.MIRRORS for mirror FTP sites:
Core source: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/
Unbundled Lisp: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/
The following two files contain Lisp code that was formerly bundled with
the core sources. They contain the whole set of pre-compiled packages
(also available as separate files under the `packages' directory):
xemacs-sumo.tar.gz
Lisp code that can be used with both XEmacs and XEmacs/Mule.
xemacs-mule-sumo.tar.gz
Mule support code. It DOES NOT REPLACE the preceding file. It
contains additional code for XEmacs/Mule.
Don't forget to set "binary" mode when transferring these files. Unpack them
with some variation of the command
"gunzip -c xemacs-21.1.2.tar.gz | tar -pvxf -".
Thanks to the tireless efforts of Jason Mastaler and the kit builders
(enumerated in the READMEs), there will be binary kits for this XEmacs
release. Please check the FTP site or subscribe to the xemacs-announce
mailing list for news of availability. Please refer to
http://www.xemacs.org/lists.html for subscription information.
