Binary distributions from the emacs-28 branch, along with source
archives as of the time of build and for the msys package dependencies
are now available from the GNU alpha FTP site, here:

https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/emacs-28/?C=M;O=D

Thanks for any help you can provide testing these. Please use
`report-emacs-bug', as usual, to let us know about problems you
experience.

Dieter (in CC) and I would be grateful to be copied directly when you
suspect the problem you are reporting is related to the packaging (vs
with Emacs 28, more generally).

Here are the files published, along with a brief description of each:

emacs-28.0.91-installer.exe - windows insttaller
emacs-28.0.91.zip - emacs + dependencies (unzip and go)
emacs-28.0.91-no-deps.zip - just emacs, BYO MSYS
emacs-28-deps.zip - dependencies (DLL files) only
emacs-28-deps-mingw-w64-src.zip - sources for dependancies
emacs-28.0.91-src.zip - from the emacs-28 branch

Emacs was built with the following configuration options:
  --with-json
  --without-dbus
  --with-native-compilation
  --without-compress-install
  CFLAGS="-O2"

In order to use the native compilation features included you must have
the MSYS bin folder on your windows path when starting Emacs.  You can
check by evaluating:
  (native-comp-available-p)

Dieter and I would like to thank Phil for tending this process for
many years as well as for providing us excellent tooling and a "warm
handoff".  Thanks also to Eli, Arash, and many others for patiently
nudging us along with emails, bug-reports, and miscellany.
