XEmacs 21.5.13 "cauliflower" is Released

goto announcement, changes

From: "Steve Youngs [XEmacs Beta Release Manager]" <youngs@xemacs.org>
Subject: XEmacs 21.5.13 "cauliflower" is released.
To: XEmacs beta <xemacs-beta@xemacs.org>
Date: Sun, 11 May 2003 02:41:04 +1000
Organization: The XEmacs Project

*        XEmacs 21.5.13 "cauliflower" is released.
   "cauliflower" is the 14th in the VEGETABLE series.

The long standing TTY/keyboard bug, the one where RET was behaving
like LFD, is gone!  Yes, that's right folks, you can once again use
XEmacs on a TTY.  Full credit goes to Jerry James for fixing this.
Thanks very much, Jerry.  You're a legend!

For general information about XEmacs, the developers, and the user
community, see our home page,

		       http://www.xemacs.org/

* XEmacs 21.5.13 is "beta" software. 

The usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/WARRANTY, sections 10 and
11) applies.  Being "beta" software means that you should expect to
encounter bugs, you should expect it to crash, and you really
shouldn't be using it for "mission critical" tasks.

* Availability

Anonymous ftp:

             ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.5/

See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/.  (Note that the tarball breakdown
is slightly different from that implied for 21.1.  For 21.5, the
xemacs-21.5.13.tar.gz tarball contains the full contents of the
xemacs-21.5.13-{src,elc,info}.tar.gz tarballs.)

If you already have a 21.5.12 source tree, a patch kit is available in
xemacs-21.5.12-21.5.13.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 patch kits.

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 response to all our
requests.

To update to release 21.5.13, use the release tag "r21-5-x".  To set
a sticky tag which will always update to the current release, use the
branch tag "r21-5-latest-beta".

For more details, see

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