Thank you, and everyone involved in preparing the new pretest release.

I have patched the editors/emacs-devel port of FreeBSD to use the new
pretest tarball as the source/distfile.  It builds successfully on both
FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64 without X11 support, with X11 support and
Lucid widgets, or with X11 support and GTK+ widgets.

I have also edited the installation message of the package to say:

    This is a pretest snapshot of what will be the Emacs 23.1
    release.  As a result, there may be packaging errors in the
    tarball, so please be on the lookout for problems with
    installation.

    Pretesters: please send an email to keramida@ceid.upatras.gr
    reporting success or failure on your systems.  In addition,
    please report bugs via M-x report-emacs-bugs, or send an email
    to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org.  For questions, please email
    emacs-devel@gnu.org.

    Emacs 23 contains many changes relative to Emacs 22.  For
    details, see the file etc/NEWS.  A few particular notes for
    those who have not been following Emacs CVS development:

     - The RMAIL mail package was recently changed to use mbox
       instead of Babyl for its internal format.  This part of
       Emacs may be less stable than others; for safety, please
       back up your mail files before trying the new Rmail.

     - The default toolkit is now GTK+.  You can use WITHOUT_GTK
       to build GNU Emacs with the Lucid toolkit.

There have been no problem reports so far, but the port was updated just
today.  If I get any bug reports in my personal inbox that are not also
copied to the list, I will forward them to emacs-pretest-bug too.

Again, thanks to everyone who contributed work, time and effort to give
us the new release :-)

Regards,
Giorgos

The build and install is done without any problems. Good job, Keramidas!

In addition, i did IPv6 test. In the test (with Gnus), really my email
message flew through IPv6 tunnel. Now i can trust that Emacs is IPv6
enabled application ;;
