Andrea Corallo has just announced that the first Emacs 30 pretest (30.0.91) is available for download and testing. You can check the NEWS file to see what’s new in the release.
As always, thanks to Eli, Andrea, and all the other devs who worked so hard to bring us this release and who keep Emacs a vital and thriving enterprise. The release of this pretest means that the release cycle for Emacs 30 is underway and we can expect the first release candidate sometime soon depending on how many errors are discovered in 30.0.91.
The developers depend on the Emacs community to help find those errors so if you can, please download and test the new version. It will help us all and move Emacs 30 closer to the official release.
