XEmacs 21.5.16 "celeriac" is Released

goto announcement, summary, changes

To: XEmacs beta <xemacs-beta@xemacs.org>
Subject: [ANNOUNCE] XEmacs 21.5.16 "celeriac" is released.
From: Steve Youngs [XEmacs Beta Release Manager] <youngs@xemacs.org>
Organization: The XEmacs Development Team

<#secure method=pgpmime mode=sign>
*        XEmacs 21.5.16 "celeriac" is released.
   "celeriac" is the 17th in the VEGETABLE series.

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

		       http://www.xemacs.org/

* XEmacs 21.5.16 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

If you already have a 21.5.15 source tree, a patch kit is available in
xemacs-21.5.15-21.5.16.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 21.5.16, 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
