Emacs 30.1 released

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 24, 2025

Version 30.1 of Emacs, the extensible text editor, should now
be available from your nearest GNU mirror:


   https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-30.1.tar.xz
   https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-30.1.tar.gz


Emacs 30.1 includes security fixes for a shell injection vulnerability
in man.el (CVE-2025-1244), and for arbitrary code execution with
flymake (CVE-2024-53920).  We recommend upgrading immediately.


The tarballs are signed.  You can find the PGP signature files at:


   https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-30.1.tar.xz.sig
   https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-30.1.tar.gz.sig


You can choose a mirror explicitly from the list at:
  https://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html


Mirrors may take some time to update; the main GNU ftp server is at:
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/


--------------------------------------


To verify the integrity of the downloaded tarball, download both the
tarball and the corresponding .sig file, and run this command:


  gpg --verify emacs-30.1.tar.xz.sig


(and similarly for emacs-30.1.tar.gz, if you download that format).


If the GPG command fails because you don't have the required PGP
public key, run this command to import the key:


  gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys \
    CEA1DE21AB108493CC9C65742E82323B8F4353EE


Alternative keyservers include pgp.mit.edu and keys.openpgp.org.


You can also run sha1sum or sha256sum and confirm that these
checksums match:
