XEmacs 21.5.5 "beets" is Released

goto announcement, summary, changes

From: "Stephen J. Turnbull" <stephen@xemacs.org>
To: XEmacs Beta Test <xemacs-beta@xemacs.org>
Subject: XEmacs 21.5.5 "beets" is released.
Organization: The XEmacs Project
Date: 06 Mar 2002 14:11:00 +0900
Message-ID: <878z96s2l7.fsf@tleepslib.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp>

XEmacs 21.5.5 "beets" is released.

The released code base was successfully built and passed make check
with a minimal configuration on Linux, as well as the personal
configurations of testers on FreeBSD (includes GTK, I believe) and
Linux.

This release mainly contains a couple of months of patches from many
sources, detailed below.  It also serves as a checkpoint before the
merge of Ben Wing's Mule workspace.  Ben has completed synching his
workspace to the mainline, and the merge should occur soon.

Building and at least lightly testing this release is high priority,
if you have some time to contribute right now.  Send build reports to
xemacs-buildreports@xemacs.org using M-x build-report.

Many things are likely to change and possibly become unstable with
Ben's merge, so this may be the last chance to see a fairly stable
21.5 for a few weeks.  Also, to ensure the highest quality of the
merged code, tests of Ben's workspace as soon as possible would be
very valuable.  Check out or update from CVS with "-r ben-mule-21-5"
(no tarballs).  Build reports (M-x build-report) would be very useful.

Developers should note that as of the previous release the type-naming
conventions and definitions of many integral types have changed,
courtesy of Ben Wing.  Only a couple of warning fixes have been
reported; I believe it's now clean.  However, some may remain in
rarely used files or #ifdef sections.  Please report any sign-compare
or type-error warnings to xemacs-beta.

The beta tarball xemacs-21.5.5.tar.gz and the patchkit
xemacs-21.5.4-21.5.5.patch.gz are available in the usual place:

                ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/

The CVS tags r21-5-5 and r21-5-latest-beta now point to this release.
They are sticky tags.  To return to the bleeding edge, use the -A option.
