GNU emacs 21.3.50-2 is available. This release is available as a "test" release in the Cygwin setup.exe installer program. It is compiled from the current official FSF CVS tree for those who want to try it out. I have compiled this version with Xaw3d scrollbars.
THIS RELEASE IS PROVIDED WITHOUT SUPPORT ON MY PART. Please go through normal GNU emacs bug channels to report bugs, keeping in mind that this is not an officially released version and you are essentially testing prereleased software... Execute "C-h n" to get a list of changes that have been made to emacs since 21.2. A couple things I noticed: - "tramp" is now included -- a package for remote file editing via ssh etc. - the emacs intro and emacs lisp manuals are now included - there is support for editing larger files (approx. 256 MB -- the limit used to be 128 MB) New users please be aware: - You will want "tty" included in your CYGWIN environment variable setting, and probably "binmode". Look at the following for some documentation: http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html Joe Buehler To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Base" and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.
