GNU Emacs 30.1 Released With Android Support, Emacs Lisp Native Compiler By Default

Written by Michael Larabel in GNU on 23 February 2025 at 01:15 PM EST. 21 Comments
GNU Emacs 30.1 is out today as the newest version of this extensible text editor.

With the GNU Emacs 30.1 release, Emacs has been ported to Android. Emacs can be cross-compiled now for Android with the Android NDK, SDK, and a Java compiler present.

Emacs 30.1 also now unconditionally enables native JSON support. Another big item with Emacs 30.1 is native compilation is now enabled by default for the Emacs Lisp native compiler, assuming libgccjit is detected and working on the system.

There is also a fix for a shell injection vulnerability, a new "trusted-content" user option to allow potentially dangerous features, Unicode 15.1 support, and many other improvements.
