Hi Folks!

OK, here we go, my first Beta release...

XEmacs 21.5.8 "broccoli" is released.

There are a reasonable amount of fixes here but the primary reason for
this release is to make way for some upcoming major changes to the GC
code that Mike Sperber is working on.

You can pick up the tarball 'xemacs-21.5.8.tar.gz' at:

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

Or from a mirror near you.

Or via CVS:

  cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.xemacs.org:/pack/xemacscvs login
    [password "cvs" (sans quotes)]

  cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.xemacs.org:/pack/xeamcscvs co -r r21-5-8 xemacs
