And there are some bug fixes in other branches, for example: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=emacs-24&id=add2de3ef3911031d603315738f9c5de5533d9f4 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=xwidget&id=b1aa5d2fdc95f5e5e26dd99c2b8ba92d11900b4e http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=concurrency&id=e795e6f23528caaa6d1b125057c584a0c998a7d6 -- Best regards, Xue Fuqiao. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/XueFuqiao
