Some of the FTP mirrors are still updating. The actual release announcement should be on info-gnu-emacs shortly. (BTW, Eli, what's the moderation/posting situation on that list?). The CVS tag for the release is EMACS_22_2. I've bumped the version number in the branch to 22.2.50. It's not clear to me whether we will make a 22.3 release, but until a decision is made, I'll start rolling the postphoned fixes listed in admin/FOR-RELEASE into the branch, over the next week or so. If someone wants to help, that'd be great. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Ouch! This is a very busy week for me, so I only now had time to install on the branch the change that fixes handling of foreign file names on MS-Windows. Perhaps in the future it would be a good idea to send a warning on the mailing list 24 hours before the tarball is made (I know you announced the plan before, but that was several days ago and I simply forgot). I don't know if it's fair to ask that a new tarball be uploaded now. Failing that, I hope at least those who prepare binary distributions for Windows will use the version of w32.c that is now on the branch. > The actual release > announcement should be on info-gnu-emacs shortly. (BTW, Eli, what's > the moderation/posting situation on that list?). The situation is good, thank you ;-) Seriously, what exactly did you want to know? I'm the moderator, if that's what you were asking (but you probably already know that, since mailman shows this fact). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Still, I had forgotten about the "Foreign file names on MS-Windows" thread, and I didn't check if the final patch got checked in after the discussion seemed to have concluded. So sorry about that. > I don't know if it's fair to ask that a new tarball be uploaded now. > Failing that, I hope at least those who prepare binary distributions > for Windows will use the version of w32.c that is now on the branch. Since this bug is not a regression from 22.1, let's leave it for 22.3 (assuming we do a 22.3). As for changing the Windows binary distribution, I don't have a strong opinion either way. Jason, if you are agreeable, please go ahead and make a new binary incorporating this change. No need to mark it as 22.3a or anything like that, IMO; just overwrite the existing file on the ftp server. Thanks. >> The actual release announcement should be on info-gnu-emacs >> shortly.

The source will be different, so it should have a different version number. This bug has been there forever, and noone complained until now. Users are not likely to use file names outside of their own locale, even though it is theoretically possible. Many tools have this same problem, especially command-line tools which tend to use the standard C library rather than the Windows APIs, let alone the Unicode version of the Windows APIs. But anyway, someone else will have to make the release, as my graphics card died this morning, and I'm currently surviving with a very old machine that took over half an hour just to zip up the files (I didn't time the build). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
