Eli Zaretskii writes to announce that Emacs 29.1 has been released and is available in the usual places. As usual, I compiled it from source so I don’t know if the prebuilt distributions have been released yet.
In any event, this post is being written with the new version so there are no obvious nasty surprises. As usual, many thanks to Zaretskii and everyone else who worked so hard to bring this new release to us. These guys are heroes who don’t get nearly enough recognition for what they do. If you run into any of them, be sure to buy them a beer.
