We hope you will find XEmacs 21.4 a substantial improvement over XEmacs 21.1. And of course many new packages have been added over the months since 21.1 was released. Some of these use the new features in 21.4. The Public Release Manager I have volunteered to act as Public Release Manager as an explicitly term-limited position, and have been accepted by the Review Board. The Public Release Manager will be responsible for tracking progress, publicity, and announcing and enforcing feature freeze.
Further details are in the job description .
In particular, Martin will continue to actually roll the tester tarballs. Right over here. For details, including checkout, configure, and test procedures, follow the links provided.
