Subject: XEmacs 21.4.21 "Educational Television" is released
From: Vin Shelton <acs@xemacs.org>

*          XEmacs 21.4.21 "Educational Television" is released.
      "Educational Television" is the twenty-first release in the OXYMORON series.

The latest stable release of XEmacs, XEmacs 21.4.21 - "Educational Television",
is now available from xemacs.org and its mirrors.

* Availability

Anonymous ftp:

             ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.4

See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/.  As of 21.4.18, only a source
tarball has been supplied.  There was virtually no use of the info and
elc tarballs, so xemacs-21.4.21.tar.gz and xemacs-21.4.21.tar.bz2 are
the only tarballs supplied.

If you already have a 21.4.20 source tree, a patchkit is available in
xemacs-21.4.20-21.4.21.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 patchkits.

The tarballs and patches are signed with my GPG key, available from
most public keyservers and also from
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/pgp-keys/vin_shelton.asc

Here are the MD5 check sums of each of the files related to the XEmacs
21.4.21 release:

03c28f1a76db7baebf25b33dd939bcb6  xemacs-21.4.21.tar.gz.asc

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 reponse to all our
requests.

If you haven't used XEmacs CVS recently, we moved the repository
before the 21.4.6 release.  The repository structure is the same as
before, so it should be possible to reuse an existing checked-out CVS
tree.

Take care that your Root is set correctly to

      CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.xemacs.org:/pack/xemacscvs

On platforms with a Bourne shell and find available, something like

      for r in `find . -name Root`; do echo $CVSROOT > $r; done

will convert your entire tree.

Tags are also the same; to update to release 21.4.21, use the release
tag "r21-4-21".  To set a sticky tag which will always update to the
current release, use the branch tag "release-21-4".

For more details, see

             http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/cvsaccess.html


Sincerely,
  Vin Shelton
