XEmacs 21.2.43 "Terspichore" is Released

goto announcement, summary, changes

From: XEmacs Release Engineer <martin@xemacs.org>
Subject: XEmacs 21.2.43 "Terspichore" is released.
To: XEmacs Beta Test <xemacs-beta@xemacs.org>
Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2001 15:17:52 +0900 (JST)
Message-ID: <14963.47504.411403.215482@mule.m17n.org>
Reply-To: martin@xemacs.org

Important gnuserv security fix.  Upgrade if you use gnuserv.

Another reminder that 21.2.41 fixed an important byte-compiler bug in
21.2 (but not 21.1).  If you have not already done so, re-byte-compile
all your .elc files after upgrading, for example in your CVS source
directory

cd $srcdir; find . -name '*.elc' -print | xargs rm
cd $builddir; make
