Hi! The first pretest for what will be the 29.1 release of Emacs (the extensible text editor) is now available at:
https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-29.0.90.tar.xz The tarball is signed; you can get the PGP signature file at: https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-29.0.90.tar.xz.sig Please give it as much testing as you can. As always, if you encounter problems building or using Emacs, send a report to bug-gnu-em...@gnu.org with full details (if possible, use M-x report-emacs-bug). Thanks for helping to test Emacs. -------------------------------------- To verify that the tarball is intact, download both the .sig and the tarball, and run this command: gpg --verify emacs-29.0.90.tar.xz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys \ 17E90D521672C04631B1183EE78DAE0F3115E06B Alternative keyservers to try are keyserver.ubuntu.com and keys.openpgp.org. You can also run sha1sum or sha256sum and confirm that these checksums match: SHA1 emacs-29.0.90.tar.xz 2821bea77e8535447e9b98d9f61dde85d19bb8f1 SHA256 emacs-29.0.90.tar.xz a147fa5d7d3d621d24d55fa563dbf1f4ce940545b5c74d138ae00d0c3b3566b6 ---------------------------------------- For a summary of changes in Emacs 29, 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.
