Emacs 20.0 is in the pretest phase. With any luck, it will be unleashed
in a couple of weeks (I have no influence on the release date, so don't
ask me when exactly).
This version has a lot of major changes. However, it seems that I'm the
only poor soul to test the DJGPP version on MS-DOS/MS-Windows.
Therefore, a probability that DOS- and Windows-specific bugs will remain
undetected is quite high.
I am asking DJGPP users to help me test this major new version.
If anybody out there has some time to spare, I'd appreciate if you write
to me (use private e-mail, do NOT post to the DJGPP news group or the
mailing list). I will tell you where to download the latest pretest and
send you a few patches that you will need to apply before building
Emacs. (Make sure you have 65MB of free disk space.)
Ideally, if you see a problem in the pretest version, you should debug it
and send the necessary patches to the Emacs maintainers. But even if you
cannot afford to debug the problems, just finding them and telling me
about them would be a great help.
Thanks in advance.
