"stable release" has nothing to do with perceived stability. It merely refers to the last non-developmental release. You might perceive Emacs 22 as "stable" but it hasn't even been released yet. As it has been noted, if one wants to use an Emacs 22 pre-release version, grab emacs-snapshot from sid. (Emacs 22 looks a whole lot better when configured with --with-gtk than Emacs 21 too ;-) -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
