CVS contains no tags for 21.4, but it appears to have been created from EMACS_21_3 except for movemail.c. This is unfortunate, as we almost released 21.4 a year ago to fix a build problem with recent versions of GCC on Windows, and a few other "annoying bugs" that are fixed on the EMACS_21_1_RC branch. The discussion is here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-emacs-windows/2004-02/msg00028.html Instead, I think I tracked down an older copy of gcc to compile the release, and checked in the changes needed for recent versions of gcc in case there was a future release from the branch. I upgraded gcc again after that, and did not expect to need it again now that the bug is fixed in all current branches of CVS. I was not expecting an Ad-Hoc release to be made like this.
