The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution as test
releases. Note that there have been some packaging changes, so that the package
names better reflect the package contents.
* emacs-28.1-1
This is now a virtual package that forces installation of one of the following
four "binary" packages. If you don't select one of these four, then emacs-basic
will be installed by default.
* emacs-basic-28.1-1
* emacs-w32-28.1-1
* emacs-gtk-28.1-1
* emacs-lucid-28.1-1
Each of these contains an emacs binary of the same name as the package. For
example, emacs-basic provides /usr/bin/emacs-basic.exe, formerly called
emacs-nox.exe. emacs-gtk used to be called emacs-X11. For backwards
compatibility, the old names /usr/bin/emacs-nox and /usr/bin/emacs-X11 can still
be used.
* emacs-common-28.1-1
This contains files needed by each of the four binaries.
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.
This release is a test release only because of the packaging changes. If no
problems are reported, it will be promoted from test to current in a week or so.
This has now been promoted to current.
Unlike the previous test release, this release was *not* built with the new
native compilation feature, which still needs more testing. Once 28.1-1 has
been promoted to current, I will make a new test release, 28.1-2, built with
native compilation.
I'll do this within the next few days, once I'm sure there are no glitches with
the new packaging.
