Emacs 23.1 released

Emacs 23.1 released

[Chong Yidong]

GNU Emacs 23.1 has been released.  It is available on the GNU ftp site
at ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/.  See http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html for a
list of mirrors.

The MD5 check-sums for the tarballs are:

  a620d4452769d04ad8864d662f34f8dd  emacs-23.1.tar.gz
  17f7f0ba68a0432d58fa69d05a2225be  emacs-23.1.tar.bz2

Here are some new features of Emacs 23.  See etc/NEWS for a complete
list.

 - Improved Unicode support (the internal character representation is
   now based on UTF-8).

 - Font rendering with Fontconfig and Xft.

 - Support for using X displays and text terminals in one session,
   and for running as a daemon.

 - Shift-selection.

 - Smarter minibuffer completion.

 - Per-buffer text scaling.

 - Directory-local variables.

 - New packages for:
    * viewing PDF and postscript files (Doc view mode)
    * connecting to processes via D-Bus (dbus)
    * using the GNU Privacy Guard (EasyPG)
    * displaying line numbers in the fringe (Linum mode)
    * editing XML documents with on-the-fly validation (nXML mode)
    * editing Ruby programs (Ruby mode)
    * display-based word wrapping (Visual Line mode)

Please send bug reports to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.  You can use the
function M-x report-emacs-bug to do this.  Mac OS X users should note
that the Carbon port has been removed; see the file nextstep/README for
information about the new Cocoa port.

Many thanks to the rest of the Emacs development team for their hard
work; and to the numerous users who contributed suggestions and bug
reports.  Happy hacking.

The biggest share of thanks is probably due to Kenichi Handa, who did a
disproportionate amount of the "heavy lifting" in this release.

Thank you all developers thou I wont use any official release. Esp. I
express my appreciation to Adrian Robert for NS port, otherwise I can
use (bleeding edge) Emacs on my Mac; and to Kenichi Handa for making
Emacs comfortable to use for CJK users.

Is there a Windows binary available somewhere for download using HTTP (not FTP)?

(Perhaps I missed a mail about that.)

The GNU FTP server is accessible via HTTP as well.  Try this:

  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/

A bit late, but I just wanted to say, congratulations on making this
release happen. Thanks for doing so much of the work, including lots
of the unglamorous stuff that no-one else was willing to do.

Oh, I have also forgotten to say thanks. I agree with Glenn here.

That's great,I am really a big fans of emacs.First of all ,thanks you
all the works to emacs23.
Since I am UNIX programmer,  I hope the future release will include the cedet.
So we no need to down the package separately ,and  more guys will  join the
development of cedet. Cedet have walled a long time but  still have
many bugs in.
If you want working on the cedet,I really want to be one of the team.Thanks.
