Sean Whitton writes to say that the Emacs development team is planning to start the Emac 31 release process next week. That means that they will cut the Emacs 31 branch and start the process of testing and refining it in preparation for the final Emacs 31 release.
I really like how the development time is handling releases lately. They plan on a major release about once a year and in between time issue updates to fix bugs or problems in the latest major release.
If you follow the Emacs Devel mailing list, you’d think that the developers’ full time job is Emacs and that they have no family. It’s incredible how much unpaid time these people devote to Emacs
for the benefit of us all. As I always say, if you find yourself in a bar with any of them, the drinks are on you. These guys really are heroes.
