[ESS] New versions of Emacs Modified for (macOS|Windows)

[Vincent Goulet]

Hi all,

As you may have followed in the ESS 25.01.0 thread, I released updated versions of Emacs Modified for macOS and for Windows. 

	https://emacs-modified.gitlab.io/

An ever increasing number of Emacs extensions (including AUCTeX, ESS and polymode) are now distributed through package archives such as ELPA and MELPA. Emacs Modified is now built using the Emacs package system for many of its extensions. This means that by default the package system is active and the packages are initialized.

Version 29.4-modified-3 includes, among other goodies, ESS 25.01.1, AUCTeX 14.0.8, polymode 0.2.2 and Ramon Diaz-Uriarte's patch to make the latter two work correctly together for .Rnw files.

[BTW, I published a short article on the distributions in the latest issue (vol. 45, no. 3) of TUGBoat, the Communications of the TeX Users Group (https://tug.org/TUGboat/Contents/contents45-3.html). Online access is currently restricted to TUG members, but will become free once the next issue is out.]

Happy Emacsing,

v.
