I am happy to announce the release of Zile 2.3.0, the tiny Emacs clone. This release continues the code cleanup and portability fixes started in 2.2.60. gnulib is now used extensively, and 2,000 lines of code, or about 20% of the code base, has been removed by refactoring, simplification, and use of gnulib. The new minor version number reflects the magnitude of the change.
To try to limit the number of bugs introduced as a result, and to aid future maintenance, a DejaGnu test suite has been added, which tests almost all the interactive commands. Many small bugs have been fixed, including cases where Zile did not behave like Emacs; some small limitations of Zile with respect to Emacs have been removed. Users are for the most part encouraged to upgrade, as this release is believed to be stable; however, cautious users may want to wait for further 2.3.x releases, or for a suitable length of time to elapse.
