Yesterday, Eli bumped the version of Emacs to 28.1. I wasn’t sure if there would be further release candidates coming but at the time the release had not appeared on any of the FTP servers nor had there been a release notice posted to emacs-dev so even though I wrote a post I was hesitant to publish before I knew what the status of the release was.
Today, the official announcement was posted to eval-devel and the tarballs are available in the usual places so Emacs 28 is finally with us. As usual, we all owe Eli and the other maintainers who contribute their time and skills to ensuring that Emacs is a living, up-to-date piece of software.
My project for this evening is the compile and install the new release. With any luck, tomorrow’s post will be brought to you by Emacs 28.
