Emacs 31.1 RC1 is available

Hello everyone,

The first (and hopefully only) release candidate for Emacs 31.1, the
extensible text editor, is now available at:

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-31.1-rc1.tar.xz

The tarball is signed; you can get the PGP signature file at:

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-31.1-rc1.tar.xz.sig

Please give it as much testing as you can.

As always, if you encounter problems building or using Emacs,
send a report to [email protected] with full details
(if possible, use M-x report-emacs-bug).

Thanks for helping to test Emacs.

--------------------------------------

To verify that the tarball is intact, download both the .sig and
the tarball, and run this command:

  gpg --verify emacs-31.1-rc1.tar.xz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys \
    8DC2487E51ABDD90B5C4753F0F56D0553B6D411B

You can also run sha256sum or sha512sum and confirm that these checksums
match:
