Stefan Kangas writes that the Emacs 30.1 release candidate 1 is available for download. This is one of, possibly the last, steps before the release of Emacs 30.1. There’s also a Windows binary available.
Kangas says that if there are no problems, Emacs 30.1 will be released on Sunday. Even if problems are found, the release of Emacs 30.1 is imminent.
As I always say at this stage of the development process, thanks to all the developers who volunteer their time and effort on the Emacs project. They really are heroes who don’t get nearly enough credit for their work on our behalf.
As I also always say at this juncture, it once again puts the lie to the claim that Emacs is an old, moribund technology that has been superseded by blingtastic editors like VS Code. Our editor’s development is ongoing and robust despite what the naysayers claim.
If you have the time and inclination, please download and test this release candidate.
