Emacs contains special code editing features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability to read mail, news, and more without leaving the editor. This release is a pretest for the upcoming emacs-24.3. It contains bugfixes as well as new features. Browse the NEWS file ('C-h n' within emacs) for information about upstream changes since emacs-24.2. emacs-X11 now supports GNOME's GSettings and GConf features. As a consequence, it is important that you have a D-Bus session daemon running before starting emacs under X11. (Otherwise, emacs will try to start one, and this can cause problems.) The simplest way to make sure that a D-Bus session daemon is running is to put the following line at the beginning of your ~/.startxwinrc file: eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax` See /usr/share/doc/emacs/README.Cygwin for more information. A second consequence is that you might see a GTK warning about gtk_window_parse_geometry; this can be ignored. 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 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. 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. 6. The default font for emacs-w32 is not very attractive in my opinion. See /usr/share/doc/emacs/README.Cygwin for hints as to how to change it.
