Re: Emacs 26.2 released

[Mathias Dahl]

Hi,

Thanks for this.

Seems to work nicely for me. I did not do any significant tests but starting up Emacs with my normal configuration showed no problems. I even tried my old hack Tumme, I mean Image Dired, and all worked nicely (thanks to everyone who have helped polish it since I have more or less abandoned it...)

So all good, from my end at least!

I'd welcome someone testing them independently, then I will promote.
