2024-10-28 Emacs news
| emacs, emacs-newsUPDATE: I'm moving Emacs News to the info-gnu-emacs mailing list instead of emacs-tangents. If you're subscribed to Emacs News through emacs-tangents, you may want to switch your subscriptions. Emacs News will also continue to be available on the web and through RSS. I'll post to both info-gnu-emacs and emacs-tangents for a little while.
