From: Chuck Thompson <cthomp@xemacs.org>

As many (most) of you may have figured out by now, I'm stepping down
as the (a) XEmacs maintainer.  Steven Baur will be taking over most of
my duties.  This has been in the works for awhile now, though not as
long as it should have been.  I regret that I didn't accept the fact
that I no longer had the time, or really the interest, to do the work
on XEmacs that I had been doing.  The result of that has been this
extremely large delay in getting the next release, whatever it ends up
being, out to the rest of the world.  My apologies for that.

xemacs.org will continue to be hosted by the machine
xemacs.cs.uiuc.edu and I will continue to make sure that machine is up
and running.  Other than that, for the continue future I will be doing
no more than the lurking I've been doing for months now.

My thanks to everyone who helped make my tenure as the Keeper of the
Releases such a great experience.  Thanks especially to Steven for
taking over this task and to Martin for keeping things going in the
background.

Long Live XEmacs.
