Thank you, and everyone involved in preparing the new pretest release.

I have patched the editors/emacs-devel port of FreeBSD to use the new
pretest tarball as the source/distfile. It builds successfully on both
FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64 without X11 support, with X11 support and
Lucid widgets, or with X11 support and GTK+ widgets.
I have also edited the installation message of the package to say:
This is a pretest snapshot of what will be the Emacs 23.1
release. As a result, there may be packaging errors in the
tarball, so please be on the lookout for problems with
installation.
Pretesters: please send an email to address@hidden
reporting success or failure on your systems. In addition,
please report bugs via M-x report-emacs-bugs, or send an email
to address@hidden For questions, please email

Emacs 23 contains many changes relative to Emacs 22. For
details, see the file etc/NEWS. A few particular notes for
those who have not been following Emacs CVS development:
- The RMAIL mail package was recently changed to use mbox
instead of Babyl for its internal format. This part of
Emacs may be less stable than others; for safety, please
back up your mail files before trying the new Rmail.
- The default toolkit is now GTK+. You can use WITHOUT_GTK
to build GNU Emacs with the Lucid toolkit.
There have been no problem reports so far, but the port was updated just
today. If I get any bug reports in my personal inbox that are not also
copied to the list, I will forward them to emacs-pretest-bug too.
Again, thanks to everyone who contributed work, time and effort to give
us the new release :-)
Regards,
Giorgos
