2026-02-16 Emacs news ===================== Lots of cool stuff this week! I'm looking forward to checking out the new futur https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/futur.html library for async programming, and the developments around embedding graphics in a canvas in Emacs look interesting too (see the Multimedia section). Also, the discussion about making beginner configuration easier https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2026-02/msg00395.html could be neat once the wrinkles are ironed out. Enjoy!
