*          XEmacs 21.5.31 "ginger" is released.
      "ginger" is the thirty-second in the VEGETABLE series.

The successor to XEmacs 21.5.30 "garlic", "ginger" adds NO NEW CODE.

"ginger" is a release for the purpose of providing a checkpoint and
fallback for the code base which will be licensed only under version 3
or later of the GNU General PUblic license.  We expect that there will
be a lot of churn in the code base as various developers synch
libraries to the most recent versions in GNU Emacs.

Sayonara, GPL v2!  You served us well for quite some time!

This is the development line.  The current series started with XEmacs
21.5.0 (an alias for XEmacs 21.4.0 "Solid Vapor", the first release in
the current stable line).  21.5 is the code base for introduction of
major new subsystems and fixes to design bugs that experience shows will
introduce instability.  So far the main effort has been on improved
support for Unicode, updates to the build infrastructure, and development
of new features in memory allocation.

* XEmacs 21.5.31 is "beta" software. 

The usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/COPYING, sections 10 and 11)
applies.  At this point in time, it is the version that most developers
are using for their daily work.  However, it is certain that many bugs
remain and new ones will be introduced as development proceeds.  Be sure
to take care to safe your work often and follow a regular backup regime.

See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/ for more information about building

If you already have a 21.5.30 source tree, a patchkit is available in
xemacs-21.5.30-21.5.31.patch.gz.  This does not update .elcs or .infos.
They will be rebuilt when you make XEmacs.  If you have an earlier
version, you can repeatedly apply patchkits.

Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see
