Emacs 24.4 release candidate 1

Looks like Emacs release candidate is out and that the official release will come in a few days.  In related news, Alexander Shukaev has posted on the help-gnu-emacs mailing lists about providing precompiled Emacs versions along with the DLLs for Windows.  It may save time for those of you who need specific features that are not compiled into the official release.  You should direct your queries to Alexander, on the list, I think, if you need any clarifications.

Emacs in the cloud and other news

On the Emacs 24.4 release date perennial question, well, it's not very soon.

A new blog post and some discussion on must have Emacs extensions can be found here and here.  Not all of them have links to the software.
