> platform. The 2.7 release includes three user interfaces, 157

> that has a working Perl interpreter. The Windows installer includes a 
> slimmed-down version of the Cygwin environment. 
> 
> Windows users are encouraged to update as soon as possible. A 
> number of 
> improvements were made that should make the Windows
