On NetBSD and OpenBSD, using emacs 29.4 I need to use gtk2 version. gtk3 will freeze X for a period of time, rarely forever when I try and use the menus.

Hoping that was fixed with this version :) But my guess the issue lies with gtk3, the NetBSD people had said in some cases gtk3 acts odd.

OpenBSD has the gtk2 compiled package, but on NetBSD I need to compile emacs/gtk2 myself via pkgsrc.

Outside of that all works great and waiting for 30.x to show up in packages. Congratulations.

So the Android work has been merged? Does this mean anything for Hu Jianwei's builds (of Emacs and Termux) at [1]? Having them in an obscure SourceForge repo seems less than optimal; getting Obtainium to understand the repo structure was not super fun...

With Emacs 30 I've stopped compiling from the master branch, preferring the tagged releases.

    GNU Emacs 30.0.92 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2024-12-03
It seems that most of the features I was eager to try from the master branch at various times (starting from native comp, then tree-sitter, use-package (although I've started using elpaca instead), modus themes, transient, etc.) have been merged. A lot of great features have been added to Emacs in recent years. Kudos to the maintainers!

Using your thread to ask: What recommendations do people have for a build that's best for heavy org-mode use? Of all emacsen which is the best drive for Org?

As a longtime Vim user, I’ve got to say, the "completion-preview-mode" caught my eye. It’s pretty cool how Emacs is tossing in this slick, built-in predictive typing thing—kinda like Company or Corfu, but using its own minibuffer magic. Honestly, it’s a chill move that keeps things smooth without overcomplicating the vibe. Emacs just keeps doing its thing, polishing the edges while staying true to its hardcore, customizable soul—gotta respect that, even if I’m still Team Vim.

Is there any risk of a website including a link using the Org URI scheme to load malware into your Emacs this way?
