This is to announce zile-2.6.3, a stable release. Zile is a minimal Emacs
clone, highly portable and quick to start. It does not offer most of the
features of Emacs, and you’re recommended to use Emacs instead wherever
possible!
This release fixes linking on some systems; there are no significant code
changes, so if you’re happy with an earlier release, there’s no need to
upgrade.
There have been 26 commits by 1 people in the 201 weeks since 2.6.2.
See the NEWS below for a brief summary.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed!

Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify zile-2.6.3.tar.gz.sig
The signature should match the fingerprint of the following key:
pub rsa2048 2013-12-11 [SC]
2409 3F01 6FFE 8602 EF44 9BB8 4C8E F3DA 3FD3 7230
uid Reuben Thomas
uid keybase.io/rrt
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
or that public key has expired, try the following commands to retrieve
or refresh it, and then rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
gpg --locate-external-key r...@sc3d.org
gpg --recv-keys 4C8EF3DA3FD37230
wget -q -O-
'https://savannah.gnu.org/project/release-gpgkeys.php?group=zile&download=1
' | gpg --import -
As a last resort to find the key, you can try the official GNU
keyring:
wget -q https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg
gpg --keyring gnu-keyring.gpg --verify zile-2.6.3.tar.gz.sig
This release is based on the zile git repository, available as

with commit ec638f5f6c6661247469eaadf171e4577e773ec1 tagged as v2.6.3.
