Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 12:26:36 -0400 To: info-gnu@gnu.org, info-gnu-emacs@gnu.org Subject: Emacs 20.7 released From: Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org> GNU Emacs 20.7 has been released. It is available on the GNU ftp sites at ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/ and the mirrors of that site (see below for a list.) Bug reports should go to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org. You can use the function M-x report-emacs-bug to do this. Emacs 20.7 is another bug-fix release. Please note that this release contains only the most important bug fixes. Many other fixes, for instance from bug-gnu-emacs, have only gone into our current development sources for Emacs 21. The two major fixes in 20.7 are 1. Emacs 20.7 contains a new unexelf.c, fixing problems on some recent GNU/Linux systems. 2. Emacs 20.7 adresses the recent RUS-CERT security advice. PTY-related changes have been made for GNU/Linux, thanks to NIIBE Yutaka <gniibe@mri.co.jp>. For the rest of the fixes, please see the change log entries in the sources. Most GNU software is compressed using the GNU `gzip' compression program. Source code is available on most sites distributing GNU software. Executables for various systems and information about using gzip can be found at the URL http://www.gzip.org. For information on how to order GNU software on CD-ROM and printed GNU manuals, see http://www.gnu.org/order/order.html or e-mail a request to: gnu@gnu.org By ordering your GNU software from the FSF, you help us continue to develop more free software. Media revenues are our primary source of support. Donations to FSF are deductible on US tax returns. The above software will soon be at these ftp sites as well. Please try them before ftp.gnu.org as ftp.gnu.org is very busy!
