As someone running 29.0, Emacs development pace is amazing, if not little breakneck.
27.1 was a pretty big step-up, 28.1 is even larger. Native-compilation being the biggest improvement in probably a decade.
And yet, I find myself compiling latest master, even with occasional breakage, because it provides even bigger jump, with correct font weight selection, Pure-Gtk support, smooth-scrolling, Haiku port and more.
Being an Emacs user has probably never been more awesome.
I've been patiently waiting for this since the release branch was created back in September. I'll be upgrading all of my Emacsen across all the my devices soon.
Super excited about this! I've been using version 28 for native-comp for maybe six months now, it's great to see this make it into a mainstream release!

29.0.50 (master) is unstable though in frame edge rendering.
