Emacs 31.1 to release August 24 with tree-sitter ABI 15
Emacs 31.1 is scheduled for release on August 24, with the tree-sitter ABI bumped to 15 to fix compatibility with upstream grammars, and RC1 already posted.
WHY IT MATTERS
The tree-sitter ABI change means packages and grammars built against the previous ABI will need recompilation or updates, affecting users who rely on tree-sitter-based syntax highlighting. The release date gives developers a clear timeline for testing and upgrading their Emacs configurations.
