The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution as
test releases:
*** emacs-24.3.93-3
*** emacs-X11-24.3.93-3
*** emacs-w32-24.3.93-3
*** emacs-el-24.3.93-3
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 a pretest of the upcoming emacs-24.4, patched to make emacs
use Cygwin's malloc instead of the one provided by emacs. See
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=18222
for details.
This patch has been applied upstream in the emacs development trunk
but not in the emacs-24 branch, so it will not be included in the
official release of emacs-24.4. Nevertheless, I would like to include
it in the emacs-24.4 package for Cygwin if it gets enough testing to
convince me that it's reliable. Emacs users are strongly encouraged
to test it and report any problems.
