Emacs.app 9.0-pre3 Released

This is the third release of Emacs.app, a Cocoa-based port of GNU Emacs to MacOS X and GNUstep based on Emacs on Aqua and its predecessors. Emacs.app is based on the "unicode-2" branch of GNU Emacs CVS, currently proposed to be released (eventually) as Emacs 23. This version of Emacs handles all text internally using Unicode, and should offer improved capabilities over other emacsen in multilingual environments. It differs from Aquamacs and other distributions in using the Cocoa APIs on OS X, and running on the GNUstep open source implementation. In addition it strives to provide a more consistent user experience relative to other Aqua applications.

In this release, keyboard handling has been redone, and most keyboards and system input methods should work (along with emacs's internal input methods). Native toolbar support has been added, and a function, 'ns-set-background-alpha' to aid in setting window transparency. Many bug fixes and minor enhancements are also included. This is the last "pre" release and the next one will be release candidate (beta) status.

Binary (PowerPC only) and source distributions are available.
