AquamacsEmacs comes with the latest version of AUCTeX, as well as a range of LaTeX-related configurations and packages (such as drag&drop support, close PDF viewer integration, etc.).

Unfortunately, nothing here says where the bug tracker is, so I can't report anything there. Should you happen to blow the stack trying to do color-theme-select, you might want to try this patch, which detects and suppresses such infinite recursions: https://gist.github.com/1259919

=== OS X Distributions with extras ===

Custom distributions contain startup routines and tweaks to make Emacs' UI behavior more "Mac-like". In addition to that, they typically include recent versions of popular packages.

* [http://homepage.mac.com/zenitani/emacs-e.html CarbonEmacsPackage] provides authentic look and feel of original Emacs, and is a Mac-friendly distribution based on GNU Emacs 22.3. It uses the ".emacs" file under an user's home directory, making the migration from/to a UNIX/Linux environment easy and straightforward. It comes with tons of extra packages (including AUCTeX, ColorTheme, EmacsMuse, EmacsSession, EmacsSpeaksStatistics, HaskellMode, HowmMode, [[Mew]], [NxhtmlMode nXhtml], PhpMode, PoMode, PsgmlMode, PythonMode, RubyMode etc.) Several Mac-friendly features are added; window-opacity, OSX keyboard shortcuts (MacKeyMode), cocoa-style print dialog (MacPrintMode) and support for filenames with accent signs. A Universal Binary application is available.

* [http://aquamacs.org AquamacsEmac]s is a convenient distribution based on GNU Emacs 23.2 and is based on Cocoa. Aquamacs comes preconfigured with a large number for packages and differs from other Emacsen in that it feels more like a Mac OS X application. OS X standard keyboard shortcuts are supported, files open in separate windows or tabs, nice fonts are available, and it has a convenient drag&drop installer. Hundreds of file types are supported (C, Java, HTML, Python, Ruby, AppleScript, XML, R (Splus), LaTeX (AUCTeX) etc.). All these extra modes come included and readily configured -- no InitFile hacking. Spell checking is easy to install (e.g., CocoAspell) and asian input methods are also supplied, and options to deal with the missing Meta key on Mac keyboards. A Universal App for PPC and Intel Macs that works well on Panther, Tiger and Leopard. Recommended for Mac users who want an Emacs that is tailored to the Mac.

Recommended for Mac users who want an Emacs that is tailored to the Mac. [http://aquamacs.org/nightlies.shtml Experimental versions] based on GNU Emacs 24 (in development) are also available.

* [http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/emacs/mac Emacs for OS X Modified] is a distribution based on the latest stable release of GNU Emacs with a few additions, most notably [CategoryESS ESS] and AUCTeX. Otherwise, this is a stock distribution of Emacs. Users of Emacs on other platforms will appreciate the similar look and feel of the application.

* [http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-xemacs/ XEmacs 21.5.18 *beta*], AndrewChoi. Also available via !DarwinPorts. Via patches from his home page, you can fix a number of issues, and the patches apply to XEmacs 21.5.22 (See AkochoiXEmacsGplCompliance).

=== OS 9 Binaries ===

The newest available version is 20.6. It does not support asynchronous processes or network connections, so Gnus and ViewMail do not work. A hack using AppleEvents has been used to make RMAIL interface with Eudora if it exists on the Macintosh.
=== OS X Binary Vanilla builds ===

The most recent available version of XEmacs is Pitts Jarvis's [http://homepage.mac.com/pjarvis/xemacs.html XEmacs 19.14].
These builds are based on the BZR version of GNU Emacs and do not contain any additional packages or patches. Popular Mac keyboard shortcuts are available though (e.g. Command-O for opening a file); these are mapped to the Super modifier (i.e., the Apple/Command key functions as Super).

* [http://emacsformacosx.com/ GNU Emacs 23.3 (Cocoa)]

Thanks to SebastienKirche, a precompiled development release of [http://sebastien.kirche.free.fr/emacs_stuff/en.html GNU Emacs 21.3.50] is available for Mac OS 9. The cut/copy/paste buffer is not shared with the OS, so no pasting from other applications. Drag and drop is not supported on the command line, but draging a text file to the application icon is. Also, it works when QuickTime 5.0.5 is installed, but not with 4.1.2 If you're missing QT5 you should be able to get it [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120132 here].
