Message-Id: From: Ken Brown To: cygwin@cygwin.com Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2017 23:32:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] emacs 25.3-1 X-PMX-Cornell-Gauge: Gauge=XXXXX X-PMX-CORNELL-AUTH-RESULTS: dkim-out=none; X-IsSubscribed: yes X-SW-Source: 2017-09/txt/msg00132.txt.bz2 The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution: * emacs-25.3-1 * emacs-el-25.3-1 * emacs-X11-25.3-1 * emacs-w32-25.3-1 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. It is an emergency release to fix a security vulnerability. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu-emacs/2017-09/msg00000.html for details. 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 use the Emacs Rmail library, consider installing Cygwin's mailutils package. It provides a utility /usr/bin/movemail.exe that has more features and is more secure than the version provided by emacs (and installed under /usr/libexec/emacs). If you use the Emacs MH-E library, consider installing Cygwin's mailutils-mh package. To use it, put the line (load "mailutils-mh") in your site-start.el or ~/.emacs file. 5. 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. 6. 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.
