New releases of the emacs, emacs-X11, and emacs-el packages (23.2-2) are now
available as experimental packages.  These are rebuilds of the 23.2-1
packages, with D-BUS support.  You will need to install libdbus1_3 in order
to run the new binaries.  Please report any regressions.  If nothing serious
is reported, the new releases will be promoted to "current" in a few weeks.

I finally got around to installing this. I know it's the new version because it went looking for the D-BUS library that wasn't there.

Now that that's fixed, it still says:

   This is GNU Emacs 23.2.1
   of 2010-08-16

I assume that's the new version, why does it still say 23.2.1?

The '.1' at the end is added by Emacs. I don't know why. This has nothing to do with the fact that from Cygwin's point of view, it's release -2 of the emacs-23.2 package. You can see this with cygcheck:


$ cygcheck -cd emacs
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version
emacs                23.2-2
