New 0.99-17 snapshot available

["John E. Davis" <davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Today I found time to put together a new development snapshot of jed
0.99-17.  The source and windows binaries (linked to slang2) are
available from

   ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/jed/v0.99/pre-0.99-17/

In this directory, you will also find the latest version of slang 2. I
strongly encourage you to download slang2 and build jed against it. In
addition to the many slang 2 features, you will also be able to enjoy
jed's support for UTF-8.  Of course if you do not know what UTF-8 is,
then you can live without it.  But if you do, then please read
doc/txt/utf8.txt for the state of the UTF-8 support.  Another reason
for upgrading to slang2 is that I anticipate seeing slang code that
makes use of slang2 features that simply will not work with versions
of jed compiled with slang1.  

If you are a windows developer knowledgeable about Unicode
and UTF-8 under windows, then I would be most appreciative for any
UTF-8 specific patches for that platform.

Finally, keep in mind that this release is a development snapshot.
The bulk of my work on jed since the last stable release (0.99-16) has
involved using it as a test-bed for slang2.

Thanks,
--John
