Emacs on Aqua is GNU Emacs ported to Mac OS X Cocoa, based on the earlier Rhapsody, OpenStep and NeXTstep versions.

This port offers superior platform support for the Aqua interface, including full desktop integration (dock, drag-and-drop, etc.), standard keybindings, use of standard Font, Color and File open/save panels, and support for Services. It also runs on other UNIX systems via GNUstep.

The port is based on GNU Emacs 20.7, which is one behind the latest major version. Emacs 21 added mostly UI enhancements, though some Lisp packages depend on 21-specific features. In many cases slightly older versions of these packages will work with Emacs-on-Aqua.

There are plans to update this port to version 21/22 once the GNU Emacs CVS codebase stabilizes.

What's New:
Correct rendering for wide characters during cursor movement.
Fix bungled hack in ispell bundling.
Window size now displayed on resizes under OS X.
