Emacs pretest 23.0.90

Emacs pretest 23.0.90

[Chong Yidong]

Emacs pretest 23.0.90 is now available for download via FTP, at the
following location:

 ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-23.3.90.tar.gz

This is a pretest for a planned Emacs 23.4 release, which will fix the
security flaw in EDE reported on emacs-devel a few days ago.  It also
fixes many other bugs in Emacs 23.3, but contains no new features.

Please help give this as much testing as possible over the next few
days, as I hope to make the Emacs 23.4 release from this if no
significant problems are found in this pretest.

Please send me an email reporting success or failure on your build
platform, and report bugs that you find via M-x report-emacs-bugs, or
email bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.  For questions, email emacs-devel@gnu.org.

Thanks.

This doesn't build if USE_MMAP_FOR_BUFFERS is defined.  The following

Just to clarify this, the change you missed is revno 104021.1.3 on the

Please merge fixes for Bug#8619, Bug#8738, Bug#9318 and Bug#9389 from

Ah, I didn't realize those fixes were committed to the trunk rather than
the branch.  But I think they will have to wait for Emacs 24.1.

Please be careful with version numbers in your next announcement -
this one seemed confused over 23.0.90 (subject line) vs 23.3.90 :-)

I hope at least Bug#9318 will be installed in Emacs 23.4.  Because
that bug can crash Emacs on Windows very easily and Wanderlust (a mail user
agent) sometimes crashes in saving a draft message and loses it.

Alright, I'll take the risk and merge in the Bug#9318 fix.

I've confirmed that on emacs-23 branch.  Thank you for taking the
risk.
