A couple annoying bugs are fixed. Thank you for making a Cygwin version of emacs. This will be very useful. > Changes: > > - black on black is no longer the default color scheme Oh dear. I can see why this is necessary for emacs running in a "DOS box", but is ugly and should not be necessary when displayed in a rxvt or xterm window, or when using the X11 interface. I know I can change this back (I haven't found out how, but I'm sure a little investigation will find it: emacs -r isn't enough), but it would be cleanest to keep similar defaults as all other versions (not least because I have a common .emacs). Could I suggest that the reverse colours only be the default for the non-X11 interface, when run in a DOS box ($TERM=cygwin, I think)? One other minor point, is that I've noticed that describe-function doesn't always work, where it does in NT and RH7.2 Emacs 21.2, eg. (describe-function (quote cond)) says "cond is a special form. not documented".
