GNU Emacs 21

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the overgrown-notepad dept.

Alex writes: "After a wait worthy of the Mozilla project, GNU Emacs 21 is finally released! Image support, colour syntax highlighting on terminals, nice scrollbars and tooltips, it's all there folks. Also, for the first time in it's long illustrious history (and a step forward for GNU Project development in general) it's now available via anonymous CVS on savannah. No more waiting a year for the latest features... Now all we need is a port to GTK/GNOME...." Other submitters point out that the changelog is available through CVS (this is a serious changelog!), and you might try the mirrors, or maybe some light reading while you download.

  1. Good god... don't like right to FTP or CVS web! by burtonator · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Here goes my karma!

    Michael? What the he** are you doing?

    You linked RIGHT to the GNU ftp server and *also* to the CVSweb CGI script. Are you *trying* to DoS GNU.org?

    I think we need to fix slashcode so that ignorant Slashdot editors don't like to this crap in the future.

    Way to go guys!

    ug....

    Now all we need is a port to GTK/GNOME....

    now i must say with the GREAT emacs together with the GREAT nautilus on gnome - by "GREAT" i mean bloatware, we finally measure up to microsoft software - as measured in clock cycle times and operations per CC!


    GNU Emacs 21 is finally released! Image support

    great... now emacs include "Image Support" - whatever that means - it sounds like it once again have followed the emacs trend - support of something that a text editor's not really suppose to support. i hope this isnt the terminal mode we're talking about... it wouldnt make sense anyway... yet

    You poor, poor, deluded children. God love you though, for your single-mindedness.

    Of course, we all know that emacs users are crazy, satanic liars and should be killed on sight. Never trust anyone who uses emacs over vi.

    Will it then start in just an instant like vi??

    Somehow I doubt it.
