* Installation Changes in Emacs 22.1
+---
+** Emacs comes with a new set of icons.
+These icons are displayed on the taskbar and/or titlebar when Emacs
+runs in a graphical environment. Source files for these icons can be
+found in etc/images/icons. (You can't change the icons displayed by
+Emacs by changing these files directly. On X, the icon is compiled
+into the Emacs executable; see gnu.h in the source tree. On MS
+Windows, see nt/icons/emacs.ico.)
+
---
** Emacs now supports new configure options `--program-prefix',
`--program-suffix' and `--program-transform-name' that affect the names of
Its name is `pt-br-refcard.tex'. The corresponding PostScript file is
also included.
-
---
** A French translation of the `Emacs Survival Guide' is available.
---
** Emacs Lisp source files are compressed by default if `gzip' is available.
+---
+** All images used in Emacs have been consolidated in etc/images and subdirs.
+See also the changes to `find-image', documented below.
+
\f
* Startup Changes in Emacs 22.1
all frames you create. A position specified with --geometry only
affects the initial frame.
+---
+** Emacs built for MS-Windows now behaves like Emacs on X does,
+wrt its frame position: if you don't specify a position (in your
+.emacs init file, in the Registry, or with the --geometry command-line
+option), Emacs leaves the frame position to the Windows' window
+manager.
+
+++
** Emacs can now be invoked in full-screen mode on a windowed display.
When Emacs is invoked on a window system, the new command-line options
modified buffers, it saves the abbrevs too if they have changed. It
can do this either silently or asking for confirmation first,
according to the value of `save-abbrevs'.
+
++++
+** If the environment variable EMAIL is defined, Emacs now uses its value
+to compute the default value of `user-mail-address', in preference to
+concatenation of `user-login-name' with the name of your host machine.
+
\f
* Incompatible Editing Changes in Emacs 22.1
C-h d runs apropos-documentation.
+C-h r visits the Emacs Manual in Info.
+
C-h followed by a control character is used for displaying files
that do not change:
- repaired retention of topic body hanging indent upon topic depth shifts
- refuse to create "containment discontinuities", where a
topic is shifted deeper than the offspring-depth of its' container
+ - auto-fill-mode is now left inactive when allout-mode starts, if it
+ already was inactive. also, `allout-inhibit-auto-fill' custom
+ configuration variable makes it easy to disable auto fill in allout
+ outlines in general or on a per-buffer basis.
+ - new hook `allout-mode-deactivate-hook', for coordinating with
+ deactivation of allout-mode.
- bulleting variation is simpler and more accommodating, both in the
default behavior and in ability to vary when creating new topics
- - many internal fixes and refinements
- - many module and function docstring clarifications
+ - mode deactivation now does cleans up effectively, more properly
+ restoring affected variables and hooks to former state, removing
+ overlays, etc.
+ - included a few unit-tests for interior functionality. developers can
+ have them automatically run at the end of module load by customizing
+ the option `allout-run-unit-tests-on-load'.
+ - many, many minor tweaks and fixes. many internal fixes and
+ refinements of docstrings.
- version number incremented to 2.2
** The variable `woman-topic-at-point' was renamed
The new keywords are def, newcommand, renewcommand, newenvironment and
renewenvironment.
+**** In C and derived languages, etags creates tags for #undef
+
*** Honor #line directives.
When Etags parses an input file that contains C preprocessor's #line

** MH-E changes.
-Upgraded to MH-E version 8.0.1. There have been major changes since
+Upgraded to MH-E version 8.0.2. There have been major changes since
version 5.0.2; see MH-E-NEWS for details.
** Calendar changes:
(defun PP (data) (insert (format "%S\n" data)))
(ewoc-create 'PP "start\n\n" "\n" t)
+** Locate changes
+
+---
+*** By default, reverting the *Locate* buffer now just runs the last
+`locate' command back over again without offering to update the locate
+database (which normally only works if you have root privileges). If
+you prefer the old behavior, set the new customizable option
+`locate-update-when-revert' to t.

* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 22.1
-** The function find-operation-coding-system accepts a cons (FILENAME
-. BUFFER) in an argument correponding to the target.
+** The function find-operation-coding-system may be called with a cons
+(FILENAME . BUFFER) in the second argument if the first argument
+OPERATION is `insert-file-contents', and thus a function registered in
+`file-coding-system-alist' is also called with such an argument.
---
** The variables post-command-idle-hook and post-command-idle-delay have
** The variable `memory-full' now remains t until
there is no longer a shortage of memory.
+** When Emacs receives a USR1 or USR2 signal, this generates
+an input event: usr1-signal or usr2-signal.
\f
* Lisp Changes in Emacs 22.1
`string-or-null-p' returns non-nil iff OBJECT is a string or nil.
`booleanp' returns non-nil iff OBJECT is a t or nil.
++++
+*** New hook `command-error-function'.
+
+By setting this variable to a function, you can control
+how the editor command loop shows the user an error message.
+
** Lisp code indentation features:
+++
** Input changes:
++++
+*** The functions `read-event', `read-char', and `read-char-exclusive'
+have a new optional argument SECONDS. If non-nil, this specifies a
+maximum time to wait for input, in seconds. If no input arrives after
+this time elapses, the functions stop waiting and return nil.
+
+++
*** An interactive specification can now use the code letter 'U' to get
the up-event that was discarded in case the last key sequence read for a
(kbd "C-x C-f") => "\^x\^f"
+Actually, this format has existed since Emacs 20.1.
+
*** Interactive commands can be remapped through keymaps.
This is an alternative to using `defadvice' or `substitute-key-definition'
keymap alist separate from `minor-mode-map-alist' by adding their
keymap alist to this list.
+*** The definition of a key-binding passed to define-key can use XEmacs-style
+key-sequences, such as [(control a)].
** Abbrev changes:
+++
*** `sit-for' can now be called with args (SECONDS &optional NODISP).
+++
-*** `sit-for' called with a negative SECONDS value now forces an
-immediate redisplay even if input is pending.
+*** Iconifying or deiconifying a frame no longer makes sit-for return.
+
++++
+*** New function `redisplay' causes an immediate redisplay if no input is
+available, equivalent to (sit-for 0). The call (redisplay t) forces
+an immediate redisplay even if input is pending.
+++
*** New function `force-window-update' can initiate a full redisplay of
** Face changes
++++
+*** The variable `facemenu-unlisted-faces' has been removed.
+Emacs has a lot more faces than in the past, and nearly all of them
+needed to be excluded. The new variable `facemenu-listed-faces' lists
+the faces to include in the face menu.
+
+++
*** The new face attribute condition `min-colors' can be used to tailor
the face color to the number of colors supported by a display, and
property over the second half of the command to force (deferred)
refontification of `bar' whenever the `e' is added/removed.
+*** `font-lock-extend-region-functions' makes it possible to alter the way
+the fontification region is chosen. This can be used to prevent rounding
+up to whole lines, or to extend the region to include all related lines
+of multiline constructs so that such constructs get properly recognized.
+
** Major mode mechanism changes:
