The first release candidate for what will be the 26.1 release of Emacs

You can get the PGP signature at

Please give it as much testing as you can.

As always, if you encounter problems building or using Emacs,

send a report to address@hidden with full details

(if possible, use M-x report-emacs-bug).

Thanks for helping to test Emacs.

Windows Binaries are available for RC1.

https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/

This includes both 64 and 32 bit versions and, by default, includes all

the dependencies for a full Emacs experience.

I haven't done any extensive testing on this Windows-build, but I'd just like to confirm it unpacks and runs nicely for a few select projects I have across various languages and third-party packages I use.

After fooling around a little, I still I haven't encountered any noteworthy issues.

So here's at least 1 user calling in, having completed some rudimentary smoke-testing. Which if nothing else, at least should be better than no testing at all :)
