The announcement below (re: pretest of emacs 24.4) is starting to confuse me.
When I run cygcheck -c emacs emacs-X11 emacs-w32 emacs-el I get Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status emacs 24.3.93-1 OK emacs-el 24.3.93-1 OK emacs-w32 24.3.93-1 OK emacs-X11 24.3.93-1 OK And M-x emacs-version confirms that. However, (1) last Friday's update of Cygwin included the first emacs updates I've seen in a long time (consistent with the announcement of new emacs packages a week earlier), (2) NEWS contains announcements about 24.4 and (3) I am seeing new behaviors. FWIW The NEWS file has the following timestamps on it: Modify: 2014-07-21 02:17:21.000000000 -0400 Change: 2014-09-19 16:17:11.000548800 -0400 Birth: 2014-09-19 16:17:10.995548300 -0400 Do I have a mislabeled emacs? Are 24.4 updates in lisp packages being delivered?
