You can now get Emacs 18.59 by anonymous ftp from
pub/gnu/emacs-18.59.tar.Z on prep.ai.mit.edu.

Compressed diffs from version 18.58 are in
pub/gnu/emacs-18.58-18.59.diffs.Z.  They are about 500K.

The files first placed on prep had a trivial but important: they gave
the version number as just 18.59 instead of 18.59.0 which it should
be.  The result was that the Emacs built from them says it is version
18.60.  If you got the tar file or the diffs from prep before this
announcement, please get it again; or, if you know how to fix
version.el to say `18.59.0', just do that by hand.  Please discard all
copies of the broken distribution.

18.59 is a bug-fix release; it fixes several system-independent bugs
plus problems specific to Iris, SCO, HP/UX and NeXT systems and others.

Emacs 18.59 is available on distribution tapes from the FSF.  Please
order a tape if you will, because tape orders bring the FSF most of
the funds it uses to pay programmers and tech writers.  Ask
gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu for the order form, or contact the FSF office:

Free Software Foundation
675 Mass Ave
Cambridge, MA 02139
USA
1-617-876-3296

The order form is also in pub/gnu/GNUinfo/DISTRIB on prep.
