Re: LilyDev version 4.0 released

[Paul Morris]

Hi Federico,

I’ve installed and used the new LilyDev 4 and am glad to report that everything 
is working well.  Thanks for updating it.  Here are a couple minor things I’ve 
noticed:

- gedit wasn't installed on my instance for some reason.

- nano is already set up as the default editor (which is great for those like 
myself who don’t have a clue about vi/vim) so it probably makes sense to edit 
the CG[1] to make it clearer that if you’re using LilyDev you don’t need to 
bother with setting nano as the editor with git config.

Thanks again,
-Paul
