Source code

Aquamacs tracks GNU Emacs, merging from the latest release branch. Aquamacs is not a fork. Aquamacs is designed to make it easy for users to get started with Emacs. It also makes it easy to switch between different programs on the Mac. Further, Aquamacs comes with many packages pre-installed and configured so that users can, for example, start editing LaTeX documents with AUCTeX or statistical programs in R using ESS-Mode. Many programming languages are supported, and sometimes Aquamacs provides, by default, other major modes for certain programming languages than what comes with GNU Emacs. Discussion about Aquamacs development takes place on the email list [email protected], or in issues filed at Aquamacs Emacs started in 2005. Until 2019, it was maintained by David Reitter, [email protected]. Aquamacs is currently maintained by Win Treese, [email protected].
