Emacs 28.1 released

Emacs 28.1 released

[Eli Zaretskii]

Hi!

Version 28.1 of Emacs, the extensible text editor, should now
be available from your nearest GNU mirror:

   https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-28.1.tar.xz
   https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-28.1.tar.gz

The tarballs are signed; you can get the corresponding PGP signature
files at:

   https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-28.1.tar.xz.sig
   https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-28.1.tar.gz.sig

You can choose a mirror explicitly from the list at:
  https://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html

Mirrors may take some time to update; the main GNU ftp server is at:
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/

To verify that the downloaded tarball is intact, download both the
tarball and the corresponding .sig file, and run this command:

  gpg --verify emacs-28.1.tar.xz.sig

(and similarly for emacs-28.1.tar.gz, if you download that format).

If the GPG command fails because you don't have the required PGP
public key, run this command to import the key:

  gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys \
    17E90D521672C04631B1183EE78DAE0F3115E06B

Alternative keyservers to try are pgp.mit.edu and keys.openpgp.org.

You can also run sha1sum or sha256sum and confirm that these
checksums match:

SHA1 emacs-28.1.tar.gz
7af2566ff1d2a1b9b3c70e9517fa02a7137ad835
SHA1 emacs-28.1.tar.xz
a198d69dfa5a42c30cabe9a82edb101ac5ee423c

SHA256 emacs-28.1.tar.gz
1439bf7f24e5769f35601dbf332e74dfc07634da6b1e9500af67188a92340a28
SHA256 emacs-28.1.tar.xz
28b1b3d099037a088f0a4ca251d7e7262eab5ea1677aabffa6c4426961ad75e1

For a summary of changes in Emacs 28.1, see the etc/NEWS file in the
tarball; you can view it from Emacs by typing 'C-h n', or by clicking
Help->Emacs News from the menu bar.

For the complete list of changes and the people who made them, see the
various ChangeLog files in the source distribution.  For a summary of
all the people who have contributed to Emacs, see the etc/AUTHORS
file.

It is... indirectly. Spring broke out due to Emacs's release ;-)

Thanks, Eli. And all of you.

Thanks.  I wonder if anyone is still building the prebuilts hosted on
the DJGPP FTP server.  Perhaps they should be updated?

Wait a minute - half the planet just entered autumn, so release of Emacs
28.1 must mean winter is coming! 

Despite the threat of Wights over running us all, thanks to all those
who worked tirelessly to get out another fine Emacs release.

This was too provincial of me, right. OTOH, I could try to edge myself
out of the embarrasment by saying that, for that half of the planet,
it's harvest & thanksgiving :)

Phew.

This is a big release. I've been on the emacs-28 branch for a while now,
and it has been working great!

Sorry, I missed countless contributors who also have toiled hard to make
this beautiful thing. Many thanks to all the committers.

The display support is in v28, the handy interface for entering them
is v29 (although Lars did talk about packaging that for v28). In the
interim, you can use something like this:

(with-temp-buffer
  (activate-input-method "latin-prefix") ;; the input method has to be triggered for `quail-package-alist' to be non-nil
  (let ((quail-current-package (assoc "latin-prefix" quail-package-alist)))
    (quail-define-rules ((append . t))
                        (";)" ?😉)
                        (":]" ?😬)
                        ("8)" ?🥴)
                        (":|" ?😐)
                        (":/" ?😕)
                        (":(" ?😠)
                        ("X)" ?😵)
                        (":{" ?😦)
                        (">)" ?😈)
                        (";(" ?😢)
                        (":D" ?😀)
                        ("O)" ?😇)
                        (":)" ?🙂)
                        (":C" ?😼))))

(or you could define a completely separate "smiley" input method.)

Sorry, lazy use of English by me. The parenthetical expression was an
admonishment to me to remember to use the emoji (C-x 8 e e) interface
more often as I'm on v29... 😉

But thank you for the code snippet which will be useful to others!

The best way to thank us GNU developers is to join in and help.  Would
you be willing to do some volunteer work to help the GNU Project
and/or the free software movement?

See https://gnu.org/help for some of the kinds of work we need.

As long as people somewhere are still using nonfree software,
our mission is not accomplished.
