Hi,
Welcome to another release of the Nano package, the pico clone with many
extensions, all while remaining very small indeed. (For those a little lost
at this point, its a text editor, reasonably powerful given its size and
ease of use)
This is the first release of the stable 1.2 branch - and the majority of
changes since 1.1.10 are bug fixes.
However, new things I noted while packaging it up included:
- 3 new translations
- a nanorc man file
Also worth noting is the colour syntax highlighting is still not gauranteed
to make you happy (not many things are!), but the developers are much more
confident in it now. I still recommend any issues with this feature be
directed first to the nano developer mailing list.
Finally, I have no reason to believe that this program will function
properly without your cygwin enviroment variable being set to include "tty"
- please consult the cygwin users guide for details on how to do so. If you
have issues with Ctrl-C or any other ctrl character combination, this is the
place to start - before coming to the cygwin mailing list.
Regards,
Gareth - cygwin nano packager, hopes you pretend the hotmail tag isn't
there...
NSTALLATION:
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then,
run setup and update the nano package.
You will need to find a mirror which has this update.
In the US,
ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.
In the UK,
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/
is usually up-to-date within 48 hours.
If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you
can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.
If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing
list at: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com . I would appreciate if you would use this
mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
