What is the latest version of Emacs?
Emacs 23.1 is the current version as of this writing. A version number with two components (e.g. ‘22.1’) indicates a released version; three components indicate a development version (e.g. ‘23.0.50’ is what will eventually become ‘23.1’). Emacs is under active development, hosted at Savannah. The source code can be retrieved anonymously following the instructions. The primary repository is CVS, but Arch and Git mirrors are also available. Because Emacs undergoes many changes before a release, the version number of a development version is not especially meaningful. It is better to refer to the date on which the sources were retrieved from the development repository. The following sections list some of the major new features in the last few Emacs releases.
