+* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 23.4
+
+** EDE
+
+*** New variable `ede-project-directories'.
+EDE now refuses to automatically load a project file (Project.ede)

+project files. The commands `M-x ede-new' and `M-x ede' now offer to
+save directories to `ede-project-directories'.
