There is a new pretest available, in

  <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs.xtar.gz>
  <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/leim.xtar.gz>

(The directory containing the files isn't listable.)

20.6.90 is another bug-fix release, and it contains only the most
important bug fixes.  Many other fixes, for instance from
bug-gnu-emacs, have only gone into our current development sources for
Emacs 21.

The two major fixes in 20.6.90 are

1. This pretest contains a new unexelf.c again, due to problems on
some GNU/Linux systems.  If you are running a system that uses
unexelf.c, please try to build Emacs with all compilers you have
access to, esp. older versions of GCC and GCC 2.95.x.

2. 20.6.90 adresses the recent RUS-CERT security advice.  PTY-related
changed have been made for GNU/Linux, thanks to NIIBE Yutaka
<gniibe@xxxxxxxxx>.

For the rest of the fixes made, please see the change log entries
below.
