    Mirror of GNU Emacs

  • Version 28.2 of Emacs, the extensible text editor, should now be available from your nearest GNU mirror: https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-28.2.tar.xz https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-28.2.tar.gz The tarball is signed; you can get the PGP signature file at: https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-28.2.tar.xz.sig https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-28.2.tar.gz.sig You can choose a mirror explicitly from the list at: https://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html Mirrors may take some time to update; the main GNU FTP server is at: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/ To verify that the downloaded tarball is intact, download both the tarball and the corresponding .sig file, and run this command: gpg --verify emacs-28.2.tar.xz.sig (and similarly for emacs-28.2.tar.gz, if you download that format). If the GPG command fails because you don't have the required PGP public key, run this command to import the key: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys \ CEA1DE21AB108493CC9C65742E82323B8F4353EE Alternative keyservers to try are keyserver.ubuntu.com and keys.openpgp.org. You can also run sha1sum or sha256sum and confirm that these checksums match: SHA1 emacs-28.2.tar.xz d61863db02b732547e6d6c77081e3348734458be SHA1 emacs-28.2.tar.gz b019ec832c73cd8548981fe2bc11a7d6e812ddb9 SHA256 emacs-28.2.tar.xz ee21182233ef3232dc97b486af2d86e14042dbb65bbc535df562c3a858232488 SHA256 emacs-28.2.tar.gz a6912b14ef4abb1edab7f88191bfd61c3edd7085e084de960a4f86485cb7cad8 Emacs 28.2 is a bug-fix release, with no new features with respect to Emacs 28.1. For the complete list of changes and the people who made them, see the various ChangeLog files in the source distribution. For a summary of all the people who have contributed to Emacs, see the etc/AUTHORS file. The online manuals and website will be updated shortly.

  • build-emacs-for-macos

    Somewhat hacky script to automate building of Emac.app on macOS.

  • I use https://github.com/jimeh/build-emacs-for-macos which makes the custom build really easy.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • idlwave

    IDL Emacs editing and shell mode

  • BTW, IDLWAVE currently has no active maintainer; if anyone is interested, get in touch! To this day it has a few features that blow away all the modern LSP/DAP/etc. constellation, like electric debug, deep help doc integration, robust shell communication, etc... all custom-crafted (for a niche language).

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
