    1 	GNU Emacs history, versions, and release dates

    5 Most of the development history of GNU Emacs is available in its
    6 source code repository <https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=emacs>.
    7 However, in the early days GNU Emacs was developed without using
    8 version control systems and was published via half-inch 9-track
    9 1600-bpi magnetic tape reels.  Although information about this early
   10 development is sketchy, the following text summarizes what is known.
   11 
   12 EMACS started out as a set of macros atop the TECO text editor, and
   13 was first operational in late 1976.  It was inspired by earlier work
   14 such as the E editor of Stanford, and was based on older TECO macro
   15 sets.  See: Stallman RM. EMACS: The Extensible, Customizable
   16 Self-Documenting Display Editor.  AI Memo 519a, MIT, 1981-03-26
   17 <http://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/5736/AIM-519A.pdf>.
   18 EMACS in turn inspired several similar editors.  For a summary of
   19 this history, see <https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/emacs-history>.
   20 
   21 In 1984, work began on GNU Emacs, a fresh implementation designed to
   22 run on GNU and GNU-like systems, with a full-featured Lisp at its
   23 core.  GNU Emacs 1.0 through 1.12 were released in early 1985.  The
   24 next version after 1.12 was 13; this was the initial public release.
   25 
   26 Here is a list of known GNU Emacs stable releases starting with the
   27 initial public release.  Entries in the list are of the form "GNU
   28 Emacs N (DATE) TAG", where N is the version number, DATE the release
   29 date, and TAG (if present) the corresponding tag in the source code
   30 repository.  Any commentary about the version starts on the next line.
   31 Dates are approximate in the following list; some are when the version
   32 was made, some are when it was announced.
