New releases of the emacs, emacs-X11, and emacs-el packages, 23.1-10, are now available for those testing cygwin 1.7, leaving 21.2-13 as previous.
CYGWIN NEWS =========== There is a known bug in the cygwin build of emacs, which affects emacs functions like display-time. See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/emacs.README for details and a simple workaround. Install the emacs-X11 package if you want to use the X11 GUI. You can then type 'emacs&' in an xterm window, and emacs will start in a new window. If you run emacs in the cygwin console, be sure that your CYGWIN environment variable (http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/setup-env.html) contains tty. See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/emacs.README for further advice about running emacs in terminal windows. With this release, the command to run emacs is 'emacs' or '/usr/bin/emacs'. This will run, via symbolic links, either /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe or /usr/bin/emacs-nox.exe, depending on whether or not you have installed the emacs-X11 package. The X11 version works in terminal windows as well as under X. NEWS ==== This is a major new upstream release. See http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ for a summary of new features, and see /usr/share/emacs/23.1/etc/NEWS for a more detailed list. DESCRIPTION =========== Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting, modeless text editor. Emacs contains special code editing features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability to read mail, news, and more without leaving the editor.
