To get announcements of most new GNU releases, subscribe to the info-gnu mailing list: http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu. Nearly all GNU software is available from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/, or preferably one of its mirrors (http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html). You can use the url http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ to be automatically redirected to a (hopefully) nearby and up-to-date mirror.
This month we welcome Thien-Thi Nguyen as a new maintainer of alive (first release above) in addition to his work maintaining RCS, Jordi Hermoso as a new co-maintainer of Octave, and Thomas Young as the author of the new GNU package ccide.
Several GNU packages are looking for maintainers and other assistance. Please see http://www.gnu.org/server/takeaction.html#unmaint if you'd like to help. The general page on how to help GNU is at http://www.gnu.org/help/help.html. To submit new packages to GNU, see http://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
As always, please feel free to write to me, karl@gnu.org, with any GNUish questions or suggestions for future installments.

GNU Emacs 24.2 has been released

GNU Emacs 24.2 has been released. It is available on the GNU ftp site
at ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/. See http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html for a
list of mirrors.

The SHA1 check-sums for the tarballs are:

5fc4fe7797f821f2021ac415a81f5f

190c52c0b2 emacs-24.2.tar.gz
38e8fbc9573b70a123358b155cf55c274b5a56cf emacs-24.2.tar.bz2
330cb768136fb2e0d8dfd1b1f1d6848e10d35e41 emacs-24.2.tar.xz

Emacs 24.2 is a bugfix release. It fixes a security flaw which allowed
automatic code execution via file-local variables when the user option
`enable-local-variables' is changed from its default value to `:safe'
(CVE-2012-3479), plus many other bugs.

Please send bug reports to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org. You can use the
command M-x report-emacs-bug to do this.

Thanks.
