With CVS you can have every day some work ...
It takes longer to download, but it makes more sense (GNU Emacs has
cvs built-in). The sources (C and Elisp and others) change quite
often, because it's still a developing software. So updating and re-
compiling and re-testing/using every few days makes sense.
There is also a version 23 available, based on Unicode. The Xft
branch was integrated into it in summer (offering font anti-
aliasing), and recently it learned to use fontsets to become able to
display less characters as empty boxes.
For both versions a transparency patch is available that can make GNU
Emacs transparent in X11 – if the X server (I think starting with
X11R6.8) allows this!
