I suppose it means adapt config file accordingly, because apparently won't just ignore mystery options (no "nonstrict" option?). >From the changelog: https://www.nano-editor.org/dist/latest/ChangeLog Changes between v5.6.1 and v5.7: ... options: retire the obsolete 'smooth', 'morespace', and 'nopauses' Here we went from 4.9 to 8.0. Not yet the latest (8.4), an issue preventing a successful build has yet to be resolved. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
