15 with a prefix argument or by typing C-u C-h C-n.
19 +++ indicates that the appropriate manual has already been updated.
20 --- means no change in the manuals is called for.
21 When you add a new item, please add it without either +++ or ---
22 so we will look at it and add it to the manual.
25 * Installation Changes in Emacs 24.1
27 ** Configure links against libselinux if it is found.
28 You can disable this by using --without-selinux.
31 ** By default, the installed Info and man pages are compressed.
32 You can disable this by configuring --without-compress-info.
35 ** There are new configure options:
36 --with-mmdf, --with-mail-unlink, --with-mailhost.
37 These provide no new functionality, they just remove the need to edit
38 lib-src/Makefile by hand in order to use the associated features.
41 ** There is a new configure option --with-crt-dir.
42 This is only useful if your crt*.o files are in a non-standard location.
45 ** Emacs can be compiled against Gtk+ 3.0 if you pass --with-x-toolkit=gtk3
46 to configure. Note that other libraries used by Emacs, RSVG and GConf,
47 also depend on Gtk+. You can disable them with --without-rsvg and
50 ** There is a new configure option --enable-use-lisp-union-type.
51 This is only useful for Emacs developers to debug certain types of bugs.
52 This is not a new feature; only the configure flag is new.
55 ** New translation of the Emacs Tutorial in Hebrew is available
56 Type `C-u C-h t' to choose it in case your language setup doesn't
57 automatically select it.
60 * Startup Changes in Emacs 24.1
62 ** The --unibyte, --multibyte, --no-multibyte, and --no-unibyte
63 command line arguments no longer have any effect. (They were declared
64 obsolete in Emacs 23.)
67 * Changes in Emacs 24.1
69 ** emacsclient changes
71 *** New emacsclient argument --parent-id ID can be used to open a
72 client frame in parent X window ID, via XEmbed. This works like the
73 --parent-id argument to Emacs.
75 *** If emacsclient shuts down as a result of Emacs signalling an
76 error, its exit status is 1.
78 ** Completion can cycle, depending on completion-cycle-threshold.
80 ** auto-mode-case-fold is now enabled by default.
83 ** Emacs now supports display and editing of bidirectional text.
85 See the node "Bidirectional Editing" in the Emacs Manual for some
86 initial documentation.
88 To turn this on in any given buffer, set the buffer-local variable
89 `bidi-display-reordering' to a non-nil value. The default is nil.
91 The buffer-local variable `bidi-paragraph-direction', if non-nil,
92 forces each paragraph in the buffer to have its base direction
93 according to the value of this variable. Possible values are
94 `right-to-left' and `left-to-right'. If the value is nil (the
95 default), Emacs determines the base direction of each paragraph from
96 its text, as specified by the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm.
98 The function `current-bidi-paragraph-direction' returns the actual
99 value of paragraph base direction at point.
101 Reordering of bidirectional text for display in Emacs is a "Full
102 bidirectionality" class implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional
105 Note that some advanced display features, such as overlay strings and
106 `display' text properties, do not yet work correctly when
107 bidirectional text is reordered for display.
109 ** GTK scroll-bars are now placed on the right by default.
110 Use `set-scroll-bar-mode' to change this.
112 ** GTK tool bars can have just text, just images or images and text.
113 Customize `tool-bar-style' to choose style. On a Gnome desktop, the default
114 is taken from the desktop settings.
116 ** GTK tool bars can be placed on the left/right or top/bottom of the frame.
117 The frame-parameter tool-bar-position controls this. It takes the values
118 top, left, right or bottom. The Options => Show/Hide menu has entries
121 ** ImageMagick support.
122 It is now possible to use the ImageMagick library to load many new
123 image formats in Emacs. By default, Emacs links with the ImageMagick
124 libraries if they are present at build time. To disable this, use
125 the configure option `--without-imagemagick'.
127 The new function `imagemagick-types' returns a list of image file
128 extensions that your installation of ImageMagick supports. The
129 function `imagemagick-register-types' enables ImageMagick support for
130 these image types, minus those listed in `imagemagick-types-inhibit'.
132 See the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual for more information.
134 ** The colors for selected text (the region face) are taken from the GTK
135 theme when Emacs is built with GTK.
137 ** Emacs uses GTK tooltips by default if built with GTK. You can turn that
138 off by customizing x-gtk-use-system-tooltips.
140 ** Lucid menus and dialogs can display antialiased fonts if Emacs is built
143 ** On graphical displays, the mode-line no longer ends in dashes.
145 ** Basic SELinux support has been added.
146 This requires Emacs to be linked with libselinux at build time.
148 *** Emacs preserves the SELinux file context when backing up, and
149 optionally when copying files. To this end, copy-file has an extra
150 optional argument, and backup-buffer and friends include the SELinux
151 context in their return values.
153 *** The new functions file-selinux-context and set-file-selinux-context
154 get and set the SELinux context of a file.
156 *** Tramp offers handlers for file-selinux-context and set-file-selinux-context
157 for remote machines which support SELinux.
159 ** The function kill-emacs is now run upon receipt of the signals SIGTERM
160 and SIGHUP, and upon SIGINT in batch mode.
162 ** kill-emacs-hook is now also run in batch mode.
164 ** New scrolling commands `scroll-up-command' and `scroll-down-command'
165 (bound to C-v/[next] and M-v/[prior]) does not signal errors at top/bottom
166 of buffer at first key-press (instead moves to top/bottom of buffer)
167 when a new variable `scroll-error-top-bottom' is non-nil.
169 ** New scrolling commands `scroll-up-line' and `scroll-down-line'
170 scroll a line instead of full screen.
172 ** New property `scroll-command' should be set on a command's symbol to
173 define it as a scroll command affected by `scroll-preserve-screen-position'.
177 *** `delete-by-moving-to-trash' now only affects commands that specify
178 trashing. This avoids inadvertently trashing temporary files.
180 *** Calling `delete-file' or `delete-directory' with a prefix argument
181 now forces true deletion, regardless of `delete-by-moving-to-trash'.
183 ** New option `list-colors-sort' defines the color sort order
184 for `list-colors-display'.
186 ** An Emacs Lisp package manager is now included.
187 This is a convenient way to download and install additional packages,
190 *** `M-x list-packages' shows a list of packages, which can be
191 selected for installation.
193 *** New command `describe-package', bound to `C-h P'.
195 *** By default, all installed packages are loaded and activated
196 automatically when Emacs starts up. To disable this, set
197 `package-enable-at-startup' to nil. To change which packages are
198 loaded, customize `package-load-list'.
202 *** `M-x customize-themes' lists Custom themes which can be enabled.
204 *** New option `custom-theme-load-path' is the load path for themes.
205 Emacs no longer looks for custom themes in `load-path'. The default
206 is to search in `custom-theme-directory', followed by a built-in theme
207 directory named "themes/" in `data-directory'.
209 ** The user option `remote-file-name-inhibit-cache' controls whether
210 the remote file-name cache is used for read access.
213 * Editing Changes in Emacs 24.1
215 ** completion-at-point is now an alias for complete-symbol.
219 *** New option `delete-active-region'.
220 If non-nil, C-d, [delete], and DEL delete the region if it is active
221 and no prefix argument is given. If set to `kill', these commands
224 *** New command `delete-forward-char', bound to C-d and [delete].
225 This is meant for interactive use, and obeys `delete-active-region';
226 delete-char, meant for Lisp, does not obey `delete-active-region'.
228 *** `delete-backward-char' is now a Lisp function.
229 Apart from obeying `delete-active-region', its behavior is unchanged.
230 However, the byte compiler now warns if it is called from Lisp; you
231 should use delete-char with a negative argument instead.
233 *** The option `mouse-region-delete-keys' has been deleted.
235 ** Selection changes.
237 The default handling of clipboard and primary selections has been
238 changed to conform with other X applications.
240 The new behavior is that by default Emacs does not put selected text
241 into the clipboard, and does not add it to kill-ring, merely because
242 the text was selected. Only commands that kill text or copy it to the
243 kill-ring (C-w, M-w, C-k, etc.) put the killed text into the
244 clipboard. Selected text is put into the primary selection (on
245 systems, such as X, that support the primary selection separately from
248 Similarly, Emacs by default does not retrieve text from the clipboard
249 when the mouse (e.g., mouse-2) is used for pasting text selected in
250 another application. Mouse commands that paste text retrieve text
251 from the primary selection, on systems that support it separately from
252 the clipboard. Text from the clipboard is retrieved only by C-y, M-y
253 and other commands that yank text from the kill-ring.
255 In other words, the default behavior is that mouse gestures that
256 select and paste text work with the primary selection (on X), while
257 keyboard commands that kill/copy and paste text work with the
260 This change also means that the "Copy", "Cut", and "Paste" items of
261 the menu-bar "Edit" menu are now exactly equivalent to, respectively
264 To get back the previous behavior, whereby mouse gestures set the
265 clipboard and retrieve text from there, customize the variables
266 `mouse-drag-copy-region' and (on X only) `x-select-enable-primary' to
267 non-nil values. If you don't want Emacs to put the text into the
268 clipboard, only to the primary selection, additionally customize
269 `x-select-enable-clipboard' to nil.
271 These changes in the default behavior are reflected in the default
272 values of several variables:
274 *** `select-active-regions' now defaults to t, so active regions set
275 the primary selection. It was nil in previous versions.
277 It also accepts a new value, `only', which means to only set the
278 primary selection for temporarily active regions (usually made by
279 mouse-dragging or shift-selection).
281 *** `mouse-2' is now bound to `mouse-yank-primary'.
282 Previously, it was bound to `mouse-yank-at-click' (which is now
285 *** `x-select-enable-clipboard' now defaults to t on all platforms.
286 Thus, killing and yanking now use the clipboard (in addition to the
287 kill ring). Note that this variable was already non-nil by default on
288 MS-Windows, which does not support the primary selection between
291 *** `x-select-enable-primary' now defaults to nil.
292 This variable exists only on X; its default value was t in previous
295 *** `mouse-drag-copy-region' now defaults to nil.
296 Its previous default value was t.
298 *** Support for X cut buffers has been removed.
301 * Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 24.1
303 ** latex-electric-env-pair-mode keeps \begin..\end matched on the fly.
305 ** FIXME: xdg-open for browse-url and reportbug, 2010/08.
307 ** Archive Mode has basic support to browse 7z archives.
311 *** New vars `erc-autojoin-timing' and `erc-autojoin-delay'.
312 If the value of `erc-autojoin-timing' is 'ident, ERC autojoins after a
313 successful NickServ identification, or after `erc-autojoin-delay'
314 seconds. The default value, 'ident, means to autojoin immediately
317 ** In ido-mode, C-v is no longer bound to ido-toggle-vc.
318 The reason is that this interferes with cua-mode.
320 ** partial-completion-mode is now obsolete.
321 You can get a comparable behavior with:
322 (setq completion-styles '(partial-completion initials))
323 (setq completion-pcm-complete-word-inserts-delimiters t)
325 ** mpc.el: Can use pseudo tags of the form tag1|tag2 as a union of two tags.
327 ** Calendar, Diary, and Appt
330 *** The obsolete (since Emacs 22.1) method of enabling the appt package
331 by adding appt-make-list to diary-hook has been removed. Use appt-activate.
334 *** Some appt variables (obsolete since Emacs 22.1) have been removed:
335 appt-issue-message (use the function appt-activate)
336 appt-visible/appt-msg-window (use the variable appt-display-format)
339 *** Some diary function aliases (obsolete since Emacs 22.1) have been removed:
340 view-diary-entries, list-diary-entries, show-all-diary-entries
344 *** Customize buffers now contain a search field.
345 The search is performed using `customize-apropos'.
346 To turn off the search field, set custom-search-field to nil .
348 *** Custom options now start out hidden if at their default values.
349 Use the arrow to the left of the option name to toggle visibility.
351 *** custom-buffer-sort-alphabetically now defaults to t.
353 *** The color widget now has a "Choose" button, which allows you to
354 choose a color via list-colors-display.
358 *** dired-jump and dired-jump-other-window called with a prefix argument
359 read a file name from the minibuffer instead of using buffer-file-name.
361 ** VC and related modes
363 *** New VC commands: vc-log-incoming, vc-log-outgoing, vc-find-conflicted-file.
365 **** vc-log-incoming for Git runs "git fetch" so that the necessary
366 data is available locally.
368 **** vc-log-incoming and vc-log-outgoing for Git require version 1.7 (or newer).
370 *** New key bindings: C-x v I and C-x v O bound to vc-log-incoming and
371 vc-log-outgoing, respectively.
373 *** The 'g' key in VC diff, log, log-incoming and log-outgoing buffers
374 reruns the corresponding VC command to compute an up to date version
377 *** vc-dir for Bzr supports viewing shelve contents and shelving snapshots.
379 *** Special markup can be added to log-edit buffers.
380 The log-edit buffers are expected to have a format similar to email messages
381 with headers of the form:
382 Author: <author of this change>
383 Summary: <one line summary of this change>
384 Fixes: <reference to the bug fixed by this change>
385 Some backends handle some of those headers specially, but any unknown header
386 is just left as is in the message, so it is not lost.
388 **** vc-git handles Author: and Date:
389 **** vc-hg handles Author: and Date:
390 **** vc-bzr handles Author:, Date: and Fixes:
391 **** vc-mtn handles Author: and Date:
393 *** Pressing g in a *vc-diff* buffer reruns vc-diff, so it will
394 produce an up to date diff.
396 ** Directory local variables can apply to file-less buffers.
397 For example, adding "(diff-mode . ((mode . whitespace)))" to your
398 .dir-locals.el file, will turn on `whitespace-mode' for *vc-diff* buffers.
400 ** SQL Mode enhancements.
402 *** Several variables have been marked as safe local variables. The
403 variables `sql-product', `sql-user', `sql-server', `sql-database' and
404 `sql-port' can now be safely used as local variables.
406 *** `sql-dialect' is a synonym for `sql-product'.
408 *** Added ability to login with a port on MySQL and Postgres.
409 The custom variable `sql-port' can be specified for connection to
410 MySQL or Postgres servers. By default, the port is not listed in
411 either login parameter, but will be added to the command line if set
414 *** Dynamic selection of product in an SQL interactive session.
415 If you use `sql-product-interactive' to start an SQL interactive
416 session it uses the current value of `sql-product'. Preceding the
417 invocation with C-u will force it to ask for the product before
418 creating the session.
420 *** Renaming a SQL interactive buffer when it is created.
421 Prefixing the SQL interactive commands (`sql-sqlite', `sql-postgres',
422 `sql-mysql', etc.) with C-u will force a new interactive session to be
423 started and will prompt for the new name. This will reduce the need
424 for `sql-rename-buffer' is most common use cases.
426 *** Command continuation prompts in SQL interactive mode are suppressed.
427 Multiple line commands in SQL interactive mode, generate command
428 continuation prompts which needlessly confuse the output. These
429 prompts are now filtered out from the output. This change impacts
430 multiple line SQL statements entered with C-j between each line,
431 statements yanked into the buffer and statements sent with
432 `sql-send-*' functions.
434 *** Custom variables control prompting for login parameters.
435 Each supported product has a custom variable `sql-*-login-params'
436 which is a list of the parameters to be prompted for before a
437 connection is established.
439 The lists consist of the following five tokens: `user', `password',
440 `database', `server', and `port'. The order in which they appear is
441 the order in which they are prompted. The tokens symbols can be
442 replaced by a sublist starting with the token and followed by a plist
443 which control the prompting for values. The tokens `user',
444 `database', and `server' each can take a property of :default which
445 specifies the value to be used if no value is entered. The
446 `database', `server', and `port' tokens handle the :completion
447 property which restricts the entry to either one of the values in the
448 list or to one of the values returned by the function provided as the
449 property value. The `database' and `server' tokens also accept the
450 :file property whose value is a regexp to identify useful file names.
453 (database :default DEF
455 :completion COMPLETE)
458 :completion COMPLETE)
460 The FILEPAT when :file is specified is a regexp that will match valid
461 file names (without the directory portion). Generally these strings
462 will be of the form ".+\.SUF" where SUF is the desired file suffix.
464 When :completion is specified, the COMPLETE corresponds to the
465 PREDICATE argument to the `completing-read' function (a list of
466 possible values or a function returning such a list).
468 *** Added `sql-connection-alist' to record login parameter values.
469 An alist for recording different username, database and server
470 values. If there are multiple databases that you connect to the
471 parameters needed can be stored in this alist.
473 For example, the following might be set in the user's init.el:
475 (setq sql-connection-alist
476 '((dev (sql-product 'sqlite)
477 (sql-database "/home/mmaug/dev.db"))
478 (prd (sql-product 'oracle)
480 (sql-database "iprd2a"))))
482 This defines two connections named "dev" and "prd".
484 *** Added `sql-connect' to use predefined connections.
485 Sets the login parameters based on the values in the
486 `sql-connection-alist' and start a SQL interactive session. Any
487 values specified in the connection will not be prompted for.
489 In the example above, if the user were to invoke M-x sql-connect, they
490 would be prompted for the connection. The user can respond with
491 either "dev" or "prd". The "dev" connection would connect to the
492 SQLite database without prompting; the "prd" connection would prompt
493 for the users password and then connect to the Oracle database.
495 **** Added SQL->Start... submenu when connections are defined.
496 When connections have been defined, there is a submenu available that
497 allows the user to select one to start a SQLi session. The "Start
498 SQLi Session" item moves to the "Start..." submenu when cnnections
501 **** Added "Save Connection" menu item in SQLi buffers.
502 When a SQLi session is not started by a connection then
503 `sql-save-connection' will gather the login params specified for the
504 session and save them as a new connection.
506 *** List database objects and details.
507 Once a SQL interactive session has been started, you can get a list of
508 the objects in the database and see details of those objects. The
509 objects shown and the details available are product specific.
511 **** List all objects.
512 Using `M-x sql-list-all', `C-c C-l a' or selecting "SQL->List all
513 objects" will list all the objects in the database. At a minimum it
514 lists the tables and views in the database. Preceeding the command by
515 universal argument may provide additional details or extend the
516 listing to include other schemas objects. The list will appear in a
517 separate window in view-mode.
519 **** List Table details.
520 Using `M-x sql-list-table', `C-c C-l t' or selecting "SQL->List Table
521 details" will ask for the name of a database table or view and display
522 the list of columns in the relation. Preceeding the comand with the
523 universal argument may provide additional details about each column.
524 The list will appear in a separate window in view-mode.
526 *** Added option `sql-send-terminator'.
527 When set makes sure that each command sent with `sql-send-*' commands
528 are properly terminated and submitted to the SQL processor.
530 *** Added option `sql-oracle-scan-on'.
531 When set commands sent to Oracle's SQL*Plus are scanned for strings
532 starting with an ampersand and the user is asked for replacement text.
533 In general, the SQL*Plus option SCAN should always be set OFF under
534 SQL interactive mode and this option used in its place.
536 *** SQL interactive mode will replace tabs with spaces.
537 This prevents the comand interpretter for MySQL and Postgres from
538 listing object name completions when being sent text via
539 `sql-send-*' functions.
541 *** An API for manipulating SQL product definitions has been added.
543 ** s-region.el is now declared obsolete, superceded by shift-select-mode
544 enabled by default in 23.1.
548 *** GDB User Interface migrated to GDB Machine Interface and now
549 supports multithread non-stop debugging and debugging of several
550 threads simultaneously.
554 *** It is possible now, to access alternative buses than the default
555 system or session bus.
559 *** The following access methods are discontinued: "ssh1_old",
560 "ssh2_old", "scp1_old", "scp2_old" and "fish".
563 * New Modes and Packages in Emacs 24.1
565 ** New global minor modes electric-pair-mode and electric-indent-mode.
567 ** pcase.el provides the ML-style pattern matching macro `pcase'.
569 ** smie.el is a package providing a simple generic indentation engine.
571 ** secrets.el is an implementation of the Secret Service API, an
572 interface to password managers like GNOME Keyring or KDE Wallet. The
573 Secret Service API requires D-Bus for communication. The command
574 `secrets-show-secrets' offers a buffer with a visualization of the
577 ** notifications.el provides an implementation of the Desktop
578 Notifications API. It requires D-Bus for communication.
581 * Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 24.1
583 ** A backquote not followed by a space is now always treated as new-style.
585 ** Test for special mode-class was moved from view-file to view-buffer.
586 FIXME: This only says what was changed, but not what are the
587 programmer-visible consequences.
589 ** Passing a nil argument to a minor mode function now turns the mode
592 ** During startup, Emacs no longer adds entries for `menu-bar-lines'
593 and `tool-bar-lines' to `default-frame-alist' and
594 `initial-frame-alist'. With these alist entries omitted, `make-frame'
595 checks the value of the variable `menu-bar-mode'/`tool-bar-mode' to
596 determine whether to create a menu-bar or tool-bar, respectively.
597 If the alist entries are added, they override the value of
598 `menu-bar-mode'/`tool-bar-mode'.
600 ** Regions created by mouse dragging are now normal active regions,
601 similar to the ones created by shift-selection. In previous Emacs
602 versions, these regions were delineated by `mouse-drag-overlay', which
603 has now been removed.
605 ** cl.el no longer provides `cl-19'.
607 ** The following functions and aliases, obsolete since at least Emacs 21.1,
609 comint-kill-output, decompose-composite-char, outline-visible,
610 internal-find-face, internal-get-face, frame-update-faces,
611 frame-update-face-colors, x-frob-font-weight, x-frob-font-slant,
612 x-make-font-bold, x-make-font-demibold, x-make-font-unbold
613 x-make-font-italic, x-make-font-oblique, x-make-font-unitalic
614 x-make-font-bold-italic, mldrag-drag-mode-line, mldrag-drag-vertical-line,
615 iswitchb-default-keybindings, char-bytes, isearch-return-char,
618 ** The following variables and aliases, obsolete since at least Emacs 21.1,
620 checkdoc-minor-keymap, vc-header-alist, directory-sep-char,
621 font-lock-defaults-alist
623 ** The following files, obsolete since at least Emacs 21.1, have been removed:
624 sc.el, x-menu.el, rnews.el, rnewspost.el
627 * Lisp changes in Emacs 24.1
629 ** `image-library-alist' is renamed to `dynamic-library-alist'.
630 The variable is now used to load all kind of supported dynamic libraries,
631 not just image libraries. The previous name is still available as an
634 ** New variable syntax-propertize-function to set syntax-table properties.
635 Replaces font-lock-syntactic-keywords which are now obsolete.
636 This allows syntax-table properties to be set independently from font-lock:
637 just call syntax-propertize to make sure the text is propertized.
638 Together with this new variable come a new hook
639 syntax-propertize-extend-region-functions, as well as two helper functions:
640 syntax-propertize-via-font-lock to reuse old font-lock-syntactic-keywords
641 as-is; and syntax-propertize-rules which provides a new way to specify
644 ** New hook post-self-insert-hook run at the end of self-insert-command.
647 ** Syntax tables support a new "comment style c" additionally to style b.
648 ** frame-local variables cannot be let-bound any more.
649 ** prog-mode is a new major-mode meant to be the parent of programming mode.
650 ** define-minor-mode accepts a new keyword :variable.
652 ** `delete-file' and `delete-directory' now accept optional arg TRASH.
653 Trashing is performed if TRASH and `delete-by-moving-to-trash' are
654 both non-nil. Interactively, TRASH defaults to t, unless a prefix
655 argument is supplied (see Trash changes, above).
657 ** buffer-substring-filters is obsoleted by filter-buffer-substring-functions.
659 ** New completion style `substring'.
663 *** When the image type is one of listed in `image-animated-types'
664 and the number of sub-images in the image is more than one, then the
665 new function `create-animated-image' creates an animated image where
666 sub-images are displayed successively with the duration defined by
667 `image-animate-max-time' and the delay between sub-images defined
668 by the Graphic Control Extension of the image.
670 *** `image-extension-data' is renamed to `image-metadata'.
672 ** XML and HTML parsing
674 *** If Emacs is compiled with libxml2 support (which is the default),
675 two new Emacs Lisp-level functions are defined:
676 `xml-parse-html-string-internal' (which will parse "real world" HTML)
677 and `xml-parse-string-internal' (which parses XML). Both return an
678 Emacs Lisp parse tree.
680 FIXME: These should be front-ended by xml.el.
686 *** New hook `isearch-update-post-hook' that runs in `isearch-update'.
688 ** Progress reporters can now "spin".
689 The MIN-VALUE and MAX-VALUE arguments of `make-progress-reporter' can
690 now be nil, or omitted. This makes a "non-numeric" reporter. Each
691 time you call `progress-reporter-update' on that progress reporter,
692 with a nil or omitted VALUE argument, the reporter message is
693 displayed with a "spinning bar".
696 * Changes in Emacs 24.1 on non-free operating systems
698 ** New configure.bat option --enable-checking builds emacs with extra
701 ** New configure.bat option --distfiles to specify files to be
702 included in binary distribution
704 ** New make target `dist' to create binary disttribution for Windows
