We did try fix the known serious bugs--the question is which bugs are "serious". I spent a large amount of my own time tracking down problems with the last pretest & coming up with some fixes & testing others'. I did it because I thought it would be worth it: I thought the next Emacs release would fix those problems. The next release made from the development sources will fix them. But we are not ready to make another release from these sources yet. The 21.3 release will probably be made from the development sources, but we don't know when that will be. We made a little extra effort so we could release a 21.2 sooner which fixes a lot of the bugs in 21.1 and has little risk of creating any new bugs. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
