Message-Id: From: Ken Brown To: cygwin@cygwin.com Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2016 09:04:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] emacs 25.1-1 X-PMX-Cornell-Gauge: Gauge=XXXXX X-PMX-CORNELL-AUTH-RESULTS: dkim-out=none; X-IsSubscribed: yes X-SW-Source: 2016-09/txt/msg00239.txt.bz2 The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution: * emacs-25.1-1 * emacs-el-25.1-1 * emacs-X11-25.1-1 * emacs-w32-25.1-1 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. This is an update to the latest upstream release. Browse the NEWS file ('C-h n' within emacs) for changes since the last release. CYGWIN NOTES ============ 1. The emacs, emacs-w32, and emacs-X11 packages each provide an Emacs binary. These are emacs-nox.exe, emacs-w32.exe, and emacs-X11.exe, respectively, in order of increasing priority. The postinstall scripts use the 'alternatives' system to create a symlink /usr/bin/emacs that resolves to the highest-priority binary that you have installed. Thus the command 'emacs' will start emacs-X11.exe if you've installed the emacs-X11 package; otherwise, it will start emacs-w32.exe if you've installed emacs-w32; otherwise, it will start emacs-nox.exe. Similar remarks apply to emacsclient. If you have installed both emacs-w32 and emacs-X11 and prefer to give higher priority to emacs-w32, run the script /usr/bin/set-emacs-default-w32.sh You can later restore emacs-X11 as the default by running /usr/bin/set-emacs-default-X11.sh 2. Install emacs-X11 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. 3. Install emacs-w32 if you want to use the native Windows GUI instead of X11. 4. If you have sshd running and want to be able to run emacs-X11 from a remote machine, you need to enable X11 forwarding by adding the following line to /etc/sshd_config: X11Forwarding yes You might also need to have the cygserver service running. 5. The script /usr/bin/make-emacs-shortcut can be used to create a shortcut for starting emacs. See /usr/share/doc/emacs/README.Cygwin for details.
