https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-30.1-rc1.tar.xz

Please give it as much testing as you can. If no problems are reported, this will become Emacs 30.1 this Sunday.

Someone like me may want to know the background of the change, so here's the commit and the relevant discussion.

@4ffy any particular things of interest in 30? Any progress with the background garbage collection? More multi threading?

Emacs 30 is a more low-key release compared to heavy hitting features like native compilation in 28 and Tree-sitter in 29. Probably the headline change is replacing the libjansson based JSON parser with a homegrown one that is several times (~8x) faster, which will significantly benefit features like LSP. This will also mark the official release of the Android port, as well as the usual scattershot of improvements across the board. The NEWS file has the full changelog.

amazing release. i've been following the master branch for a while, but i'm still excited because there's so much good stuff in this one (especially android support)
