(Help->More Manuals->Introduction to Emacs Lisp).
+** Support for Cygwin was added.

** Support for AIX 5.1 was added.
\f
* Changes in Emacs 21.4
+** Support for the SQLite interpreter has been added to sql.el by calling
+'sql-sqlite'.
+
+** BibTeX mode:
+*** New `bibtex-entry-format' option `required-fields', enabled by default.
+*** bibtex-maintain-sorted-entries can take values `plain',
+`crossref', and `entry-class' which control the sorting scheme used
+for BibTeX entries. `bibtex-sort-entry-class' controls the sorting
+scheme `entry-class'.
+
+** When display margins are present in a window, the fringes are now
+displayed between the margins and the buffer's text area, rather than
+at the edges of the window.
+
+** A window may now have individual fringe and scroll-bar settings,
+in addition to the individual display margin settings.
+
+Such individual settings are now preserved when windows are split
+horizontally or vertically, a saved window configuration is restored,
+or when the frame is resized.
+
+** Under X, mouse-wheel-mode is turned on by default.
+
+** The X resource useXIM can be used to turn off use of XIM, which may
+speed up Emacs with slow networking to the X server.
+
+** `describe-char' can show data from the Unicode database file. See
+user option `unicode-data'.
+
+** `undo-only' does an undo which does not redo any previous undo.
+
+** `uniquify-strip-common-suffix' tells uniquify to prefer
+`file|dir1' and `file|dir2' to `file|dir1/subdir' and `file|dir2/subdir'.
+
+** If the user visits a file larger than `large-file-warning-threshold',
+Emacs will prompt her for confirmation.
+
+** A UTF-7 coding system is available in the library `utf-7'.
+
+** GUD mode has its own tool bar for controlling execution of the inferior
+and other common debugger commands.
+
+** recentf changes.
+
+The recent file list is now automatically cleanup when recentf mode is
+enabled. The new option `recentf-auto-cleanup' controls when to do
+automatic cleanup.
+
+With the more advanced option: `recentf-filename-handler', you can
+specify a function that transforms filenames handled by recentf. For
+example, if set to `file-truename', the same file will not be in the
+recent list with different symbolic links.
+
+To follow naming convention, `recentf-keep-non-readable-files-flag'
+and `recentf-menu-append-commands-flag' respectively replace the
+misnamed options `recentf-keep-non-readable-files-p' and
+`recentf-menu-append-commands-p'. The old names remain available as
+aliases, but have been marked obsolete.
+
+** The default for the paper size (variable ps-paper-type) is taken
+from the locale.
+
** Init file changes
You can now put the init files .emacs and .emacs_SHELL under
~/.emacs.d or directly under ~. Emacs will find them in either place.
+** partial-completion-mode now does partial completion on directory names.
+
+** skeleton.el now supports using - to mark the skeleton-point without
+ interregion interaction. @ has reverted to only setting
+ skeleton-positions and no longer sets skeleton-point. Skeletons
+ which used @ to mark skeleton-point independent of _ should now use -
+ instead. The updated skeleton-insert docstring explains these new
+ features along with other details of skeleton construction.
+
** MH-E changes.

+** The utf-8/16 coding systems have been enhanced.
+By default, untranslatable utf-8 sequences (mostly representing CJK

** Pointing devices with more than 3 buttons are now supported on MS Windows.
The new variable `w32-pass-extra-mouse-buttons-to-system' controls
whether Emacs should handle the extra buttons itself (the default), or
pass them to Windows to be handled with system-wide functions.
+---
+** Emacs takes note of colors defined in Control Panel on MS-Windows.
+The Control Panel defines some default colors for applications in
+much the same way as wildcard X Resources do on X. Emacs now
+adds these colors to the colormap prefixed by System (eg SystemMenu
+for the default Menu background, SystemMenuText for the foreground),
+and uses some of them to initialize some of the default faces.

* New modes and packages in 21.4
+** GDB-Script-mode is used for files like .gdbinit.
+** GDB-UI is now part of the Emacs distribution.
+
+This mode acts as an enhanced graphical user interface to GDB. You can
+interact with GDB through the GUD buffer in the usual way, but there are also
+further buffers which control the execution and describe the state of your
+program. It separates the input/output of your program from that of GDB and
+displays expressions and their current values in their own buffers. It also
+uses features of Emacs 21 such as the display margin for breakpoints, and the
+tool bar.
+
+Use M-x gdba to start GDB-UI.

`cua-enable-cua-keys' variable.
+Note: This version of cua mode is not backwards compatible with older
+versions of cua.el and cua-mode.el. To ensure proper operation, you
+must remove older versions of cua.el or cua-mode.el as well as the
+loading and customization of those packages from the .emacs file.
+
** The new keypad setup package provides several common bindings for
the numeric keypad which is available on most keyboards. The numeric
keypad typically has the digits 0 to 9, a decimal point, keys marked
bindings on control characters--thus, C-c C-i C-b is the same as
C-c C-i b, and so on.
+** The printing package is now part of the Emacs distribution.
+
+If you enable the printing package by including (require 'printing) in
+the .emacs file, the normal Print item on the File menu is replaced
+with a Print sub-menu which allows you to preview output through
+ghostview, use ghostscript to print (if you don't have a PostScript

* Lisp Changes in Emacs 21.4
-** New function `optimize-char-coding-system-table' can be called
-after making changes to `char-coding-system-table'.
+** The kill-buffer-hook is now permanent-local.
+
+** The `local-map' property now also works at the ends of overlays and
+text-properties, according to their stickiness. This also means that it
+works with empty overlays. The same hold for the `keymap' property.
+
+** `select-window' takes a second optional argument `norecord', like
+`switch-to-buffer'. `with-selected-window' is a new macro that uses
+this to temporarily switch the selected window without impacting
+the order of buffer-list.
+
+** (map-keymap FUNCTION KEYMAP) applies the function to each binding
+in the keymap.
+
+** VC changes for backends:
+*** (vc-switches BACKEND OPERATION) is a new function for use by backends.
+*** The new `find-version' backend function replaces the `destfile'
+parameter of the `checkout' backend function.
+Old code still works thanks to a default `find-version' behavior that
+uses the old `destfile' parameter.
+
+** `minor-mode-list' now holds a list of minor mode commands.
+
+** The new command `modify-all-frames-parameters' modifies parameters
+for all (existing and future) frames.
+
+** `sit-for' can now be called with args (SECONDS &optional NODISP).
+
+** New standard font-lock face `font-lock-preprocessor-face'.
+
+** The macro `with-syntax-table' does not copy the table any more.
+
+** The variable `face-font-rescale-alist' specifies how much larger
+(or smaller) font we should use. For instance, if the value is
+'((SOME-FONTNAME-PATTERN . 1.3)) and a face requests a font of 10
+point, we actually use a font of 13 point if the font matches
+SOME-FONTNAME-PATTERN.
+
+** The function `number-sequence' returns a list of equally-separated
+numbers. For instance, (number-sequence 4 9) returns (4 5 6 7 8 9).
+By default, the separation is 1, but you can specify a different separation
+as the third argument. (number-sequence 1.5 6 2) returns (1.5 3.5 5.5).
+
+** `file-chase-links' now takes an optional second argument LIMIT which
+specifies the maximum number of links to chase through. If after that
+many iterations the file name obtained is still a symbolic link,
+`file-chase-links' returns it anyway.
+
+** `set-fontset-font', `fontset-info', `fontset-font' now operate on
+the default fontset if the argument NAME is nil..
+
+** The escape sequence \s is now interpreted as a SPACE character,
+unless it is followed by a `-' in a character constant (e.g. ?\s-A),
+in which case it is still interpreted as the super modifier.
+In strings, \s is always interpreted as a space.
+
+** New function `set-process-filter-multibyte' sets the multibyteness
+of a string given to a process's filter.
+
+** New function `process-filter-multibyte-p' returns t if
+a string given to a process's filter is multibyte.
+
+** A filter function of a process is called with a multibyte string if
+the filter's multibyteness is t. That multibyteness is decided by the
+value of `default-enable-multibyte-characters' when the process is
+created and can be changed later by `set-process-filter-multibyte'.
+
+** If a process's coding system is raw-text or no-conversion and its
+buffer is multibyte, the output of the process is at first converted
+to multibyte by `string-to-multibyte' then inserted in the buffer.
+Previously, it was converted to multibyte by `string-as-multibyte',
+which was not compatible with the behaviour of file reading.
+
+** New function `string-to-multibyte' converts a unibyte string to a
+multibyte string with the same individual character codes.
+
+** New variables `gc-elapsed' and `gcs-done' provide extra information
+on garbage collection.
+
+** New function `decode-coding-inserted-region' decodes a region as if
+it is read from a file without decoding.
+
+** New function `langinfo' accesses locale information.
** `save-selected-window' now saves and restores the selected window
of every frame. This way, it restores everything that can be changed
unbound. The test must be in exactly one of the above forms (after
macro expansion), but such tests may be nested. Note that `when' and
`unless' expand to `if', but `cond' doesn't.
-

If the form is not "ok to call", that means Emacs asks for
confirmation as before.
-** Controlling the left and right fringe widths.
+** Controlling the default left and right fringe widths.
-The left and right fringe widths can now be controlled by setting the

-specifying the width in pixels. Setting the width to 0 effectively
-removes the corresponding fringe.
+The default left and right fringe widths for all windows of a frame

-The actual fringe widths may deviate from the specified widths, since
-the combined fringe widths must match an integral number of columns.
-The extra width is distributed evenly between the left and right fringe.
-For force a specific fringe width, specify the width as a negative

Setting the width to nil (the default), restores the default fringe
width which is the minimum number of pixels necessary to display any
of the currently defined fringe bitmaps. The width of the built-in
fringe bitmaps is 8 pixels.
+** Per-window fringes settings
+
+Windows can now have their own individual fringe widths and position
+settings.
+
+To control the fringe widths of a window, either set the buffer-local

+
+To control the fringe position in a window, that is, whether fringes
+are positioned between the display margins and the window's text area,
+or at the edges of the window, either set the buffer-local variable
+`fringes-outside-margins' or call `set-window-fringes'.
+
+The function `window-fringes' can be used to obtain the current
+settings. To make `left-fringe-width', `right-fringe-width', and
+`fringes-outside-margins' take effect, you must set them before
+displaying the buffer in a window, or use `set-window-buffer' to force
+an update of the display margins.
+
+** Per-window vertical scroll-bar settings
+
+Windows can now have their own individual scroll-bar settings

+used to obtain the current settings. To make `scroll-bar-mode' and
+`scroll-bar-width' take effect, you must set them before displaying
+the buffer in a window, or use `set-window-buffer' to force an update
+of the display margins.

Thus, point can only go to one end of an invisible, intangible region, but
not the other one. This prevents C-f and C-b from appearing to stand still
on the screen.
+You should not set it up so that both the position before and the position
+after are unacceptable.
