so we will look at it and add it to the manual.

+* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 24.4
+
++++
+** New function `ses-rename-cell' to give SES cells arbitrary names.
+
+\f
+* New Modes and Packages in Emacs 24.4
+** New nadvice.el package offering lighter-weight advice facilities.
+It is layered as:
+- add-function/remove-function which can be used to add/remove code on any
+ function-carrying place, such as process-filters or `<foo>-function' hooks.
+- advice-add/advice-remove to add/remove a piece of advice on a named function,
+ much like `defadvice' does.
+
+* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 24.4
+
+** `defadvice' does not honor the `freeze' flag and cannot advise
+special-forms any more.
+
+** `dolist' in lexical-binding mode does not bind VAR in RESULT any more.
+VAR was bound to nil which was not tremendously useful and just lead to
+spurious warnings about an unused var.
+
+* Lisp changes in Emacs 24.4
+
+** New function special-form-p.
+** Docstrings can be made dynamic by adding a `dynamic-docstring-function'
+text-property on the first char.
+
+** The `defalias-fset-function' property lets you catch calls to defalias
+and redirect them to your own function instead of `fset'.
+
+* Changes in Emacs 24.4 on non-free operating systems
+
++++
+** The "generate a backtrace on fatal error" feature now works on MS Windows.
+The backtrace is written to the 'emacs_backtrace.txt' file in the
+directory where Emacs was running.

* Installation Changes in Emacs 24.3
---
*** New function `completion-table-with-quoting' to handle completion
in the presence of quoting, such as file completion in shell buffers.
++++
*** New function `completion-table-subvert' to use an existing completion
table, but with a different prefix.
+++
*** Additional values recognized for option `window-combination-limit'.
-*** New macro `with-temp-buffer-window'.
++++
+*** New macro `with-temp-buffer-window', similar to
+`with-output-to-temp-buffer'.
+---
*** `temp-buffer-resize-mode' no longer resizes windows that have been
reused.
-*** New function `fit-frame-to-buffer' and new options
-`fit-frame-to-buffer' and `fit-frame-to-buffer-bottom-margin'.
++++
+*** New command `fit-frame-to-buffer' adjusts the frame height to
+fit the contents.
+
++++
+*** The command `fit-window-to-buffer' can adjust the frame height
+if the new option `fit-frame-to-buffer' is non-nil.
+
+++
*** New option switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point to restore a
window's point when switching buffers.
+++
*** New display action functions `display-buffer-below-selected',
and `display-buffer-in-previous-window'.
-
++++
*** New display action alist entry `inhibit-switch-frame', if non-nil,
tells display action functions to avoid changing which frame is
selected.
-
++++
*** New display action alist entry `pop-up-frame-parameters', if
non-nil, specifies frame parameters to give any newly-created frame.

on others. The affected functions are acos, asin, tan, exp, expt,
log, log10, sqrt, and mod.
-** Interpreted files are eagerly macro-expanded during load.
++++
+** Emacs tries to macroexpand interpreted (non-compiled) files during load.
This can significantly speed up execution of non-byte-compiled code,
-but can also bump into harmless and previously unnoticed cyclic
-dependencies. These should not be fatal: they will simply cause the
-macro-calls to be left for later expansion (as before), but will also
-result in a warning ("Eager macro-expansion skipped due to cycle")
-describing the cycle.
