I am right to conclude that emacs+auctex-w32-2006-01-29.zip will unzip to the latest precompiled binary(s)? Has leim been included in this or is that still a separate package?

Depends very much on _your_ definition of "important". IIRC, the differences between the 2006-01-29 and 2005-12-19 are rather minor. If you don't have one installed yet, pick the newest. Look at the ChangeLog files, if you need to know details. Here is an URL. You may replace "/lisp" by "", "/src", ... to see the various ChangeLog files: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/emacs/emacs/lisp/ChangeLog?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 30+ messages in thread

Correction: In the announcement for 2006-01-29, Ralf wrote about some problem with images in the 2005-12-19 version. jpg, png? I don't remember. Maybe Ralf could add a CHANGES-w32 file on alpha.gnu.org summarizing the major changes? >> If you don't have one installed yet, pick the newest. > > It is possible that the newer one does not have working mouse-1 links > in gnus article buffers. Very annoying, that. Do you refer to [1,2]? For me, it was quite a minor problem. I wasn't even able to reproduce this bug after Piet's first report. A simple workaround is to click into in the article before clicking on the link. Or use mouse-2. Bug [3] (introduce when fixing [1,2]) was much more annoying to me. > The later however includes a newer version of AUCTeX IIRC. No, both contain AUCTeX 11.82 (cf.

The first step would be to set up a development environment where you can build Emacs, then download the CVS version and build it. After that, look in the file admin/FOR-RELEASE for the urgent tasks, and in etc/TODO for more long-term ones. Searching for "TODO" and "FIXME" in src/w32*.c will show some Windows-specific jobs that await volunteers. Finally, subscribe to emacs-devel@gnu.org where you will read about issues that need to be taken care of, on a day-to-day basis. TIA ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 30+ messages in thread

Because that's how old the actual Official released versions are. ALL the more recent versions are NOT released... They are build from CVS and are pre-release / alpha / beta software.

If a system is not being released early from it's previous releases, the users (novice / experienced) from FOSS world and proprietary world (more), lose interest in that particular system, because the first impression the user gets is, the system development is not active / outdated. Do we need this ? We need to get more and more users from closed source domain world also. For e.g. If a novice user from proprietary world wants to just taste FOSS world system, he won't be having enough patience as much as experienced FOSS user to get from CVS, compile, etc - the latest version of the system, which is not yet released officially. So, at the first place if we make an good impression of the system, we hit the target half way through in getting more users, especially from proprietary world. My half cents :). -- Ramprasad B __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
