This release fixes a packaging error in 21.2-6 -- I forgot to ship the DOC file. So the built-in emacs lisp documentation should work now. There are no porting bugs that I am aware of. The last couple problems have been bugs in emacs itself. New users please be aware of a couple things: - You will want "tty" included in your CYGWIN environment variable setting, and probably "binmode". Look at the following for some documentation: http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html - Emacs sometimes fails to detect subprocess exit. This is a cygwin problem and should be fixed in the next release of cygwin. Joe Buehler *** INFORMATION ON UPDATING CYGWIN *** 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 answer all of the questions. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. 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. The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and will install newer packages automatically. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com . This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
