I am pleased to announce the availability of the third release
candidate for Emacs Muse 3.03, namely: Emacs Muse 3.02.93.

Revision :: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/muse--main--0--patch-245=

Tarball  :: http://download.gna.org/muse-el/muse-3.02.93.tar.gz

Zip file :: http://download.gna.org/muse-el/muse-3.02.93.zip

The NEWS items for this release candidate (compared to Emacs Muse
3.02.8) are [[/static/dist/muse/NEWS-3.03][here]].

Here are some changes from the second release candidate.  For the
complete list, see the ChangeLog file.

 - Relative links to Muse pages are supported (i.e. "../", "./").
 - The infamous Emacs 22 bug is fixed.
 - Definition lists are now allowed to have some indentation on the
   second and greater lines.
 - Some tags (like <class> and <quote>) may now be nested inside of
   another tag of the same type.
 - Better description text for WikiNames in PDF output.
 - Remove C-c C-c keybinding so as not to conflict with Planner.
 - Better interaction of interwiki links inside of explicit links.
 - Handle links to non-Muse files inside of a Muse project directory.
 - Add support for importing Docbook and generic XML files into Muse,
   thanks to Elena Pomohaci.
 - Make muse-blosxom handle tags better, and implement support for
   #postdate, thanks to Sasha Kovar.
 - Protect WikiWords in headings for Texinfo output, thanks to Jim
   Ottaway.
 - Work better in situations where there are a lot of files in a
   project and implicit matching of filenames is desired in
   muse-wiki.el.

** The future

I will focus primarily on bringing the documentation up to par,
especially the `Projects' section of the manual and the QuickStart
guide (which is especially out-of-date).

I anticipate changing the license of the manual to the GFDL so that it
may more easily be included with Emacs, once Emacs 22 comes out.  The
QuickStart guide will be placed under the GPL, so that Debian users
can still have something to refer to on their local system.

Due to Debian's unfortunate and ill-advised decision (in my opinion)
to effectively remove all GFDL'd documentation from their
distribution, I will not distribute the Muse manual in Debian at all
once this licensing change is complete (I will absolutely forbid it,
to the extent that I am reasonably able, from being distributed as
part of Debian's "non-free" section).  I will, however, provide a
Ubuntu package that contains both the Muse source and the manual.
Again, this will happen in future releases and release candidates, and
not this particular release candidate.

Also, expect an interesting markup proposal from David Smith at some
point in the near future which might make it into the 3.03 release.
It would fill in a deficiency in the current Muse markup.

Finally, I still plan to fix any bugs that I have marked as
Blocker-level on the Muse bug-tracker.  Definite progress was made in
this release candidate, and nested list support (easily the most
difficult change I've implemented in 3.03) feels very polished at this
point.  Some bugs relating to the escaping of special characters have
me a bit worried, especially w.r.t. LaTeX.  I could use some help in
polishing this area of Muse.  Nonetheless, if this current rate of
development holds steady, we could easily finish 3.03 by the end of
the year.  I expect to make at least one more release candidate before
the 3.03 release.
