New releases of the emacs, emacs-X11, and emacs-el packages (23.3-3) are
now available, leaving 23.3-2 as previous. This fixes the problem with
memory management discussed starting at
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-08/msg00167.html (see also
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9273). In addition, all
executables have been made large address aware.
It would be good if people could test this release with a recent Cygwin
snapshot, since the problem mentioned above first showed up with the
2011-07-21 snapshot.
CYGWIN NOTES
============
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.
The script /usr/bin/make-emacs-shortcut can be used to create a shortcut
for starting emacs. The shortcut starts emacs under X if an X server is
running and in a mintty window otherwise. Edit the shortcut and/or the
script if you want different behavior.
You will need the cygutils package to run the script, and you will need
mintty and run2 to use the shortcut. In addition, the user who runs the
script needs to be able to write to /usr/local/bin.
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.
To update your installation, click on the "Update Cygwin" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page, and follow the instructions.
