+Subject: Mes 0.14 released
+
+I am pleased to announce the release of Mes 0.14, representing 93
+commits over 3 weeks.  Mes+MesCC now compiles a self-hosting tcc that
+has only been slightly patched.
+
+This means that we can now build a tcc that depends only on a 1MB
+ASCII M1 seed.  GuixSD currently uses a ~250MB binary seed to build
+gcc.
+
+Next targets are: build gcc using this almost full-source bootstrapped
+tcc, and reduce the 1MB ASCII M1 seed to a ~100KB almost source seed
+of M2 (a simple C-like language).
+
+* About
+
+    Mes[0] aims to help create full source bootstrapping for GuixSD[1]
+    as part of the bootstrappable builds[2] project.
+
+    It currently consists of a mutual self-hosting Scheme interpreter
+    prototype in C and a Nyacc-based C compiler in Scheme.  This C
+    prototype is being simplified to be transpiled by M2-Planet[3].
+
+    The Scheme interpreter prototype (mes.c) has a Garbage Collector,
+    a library of loadable Scheme modules-- notably Dominique Boucher's
+    LALR[4], pre-R6RS portable syntax-case[5] with R7RS ellipsis, Matt
+    Wette's Nyacc[6], Guile's PEG[7] --and test suite just barely
+    enough to support a simple REPL (repl.mes) and simple C-compiler
+    MesCC.
+
+    Mes+MesCC can compile a only slightly patched TinyCC[8] that is
+    self-hosting.  A GNU Ccc-compiled tcc is known[9] to compile GCC.
+
+    Mes is inspired by The Maxwell Equations of Software: LISP-1.5[10]
+    -- John McCarthy page 13, GNU Guix's source/binary packaging
+    transparency and Jeremiah Orians's stage0[11] ~300 byte self-hosting
+    hex assembler.
+
+* Download
+
+    git clone https://gitlab.com/janneke/mes
+
+    wget https://gitlab.com/janneke/mes/-/archive/v0.14/mes-0.14.tar.gz
+
+Mes runs from the source tree and can also be built, packaged and
+installed in Guix[SD] by the usual
+
+    guix package -f guix.scm
