Emacs pretest 23.0.90 is now available for download via FTP, at the
following location:
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-23.0.90.tar.gz
This is the first pretest for what will be the Emacs 23.1 release. As a
result, there may be packaging errors in the tarball, so please be on
the lookout for problems with installation.
Pretesters: please send an email to me reporting success or failure on
your build platform. In addition, please report bugs via
M-x report-emacs-bugs, or send an email to address@hidden
For questions, please email address@hidden
Emacs 23 contains many changes relative to Emacs 22. For details, see
the file etc/NEWS. A few particular notes for those who have not been
following Emacs CVS development:
- The RMAIL mail package was recently changed to use mbox instead of
Babyl for its internal format. This part of Emacs may be less stable
than others; for safety, please back up your mail files before trying
the new Rmail.
- The Carbon port is no longer distributed with Emacs. To build Emacs
on Mac OS X, use the Nextstep/Cocoa/GNUstep port instead. For
details, see the file nextstep/README. The GNUstep support is
presently not fully functional---help in this area would be
appreciated.
Good luck testing!
