(from the bin and libexec directories, respectively). The former is
no longer relevant, the latter is replaced by lisp (in vc-sccs.el).
+** The configuration option '--enable-use-lisp-union-type' has been
+renamed to '--enable-check-lisp-object-type', as the resulting
+Lisp_Object type no longer uses a union to implement the compile time
+check that this option enables.

* Startup Changes in Emacs 24.2
*** Images displayed via ImageMagick now support transparency and the
:background image spec property.
+** Face underlining can now use a wave.
+See the "Face Attributes" section of the Elisp manual.
+
** String values for `initial-buffer-choice' also apply to emacsclient
frames, if emacsclient is only told to open a new frame without
specifying any file to visit or expression to evaluate.
** `goto-char' is now bound to `M-g c'.
+** New input method `vietnamese-vni'.

* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 24.2
The old `cl' is now deprecated and is nothing more than a bunch of aliases that
provide the old non-prefixed names.
+** Desktop
+
+*** `desktop-path' no longer includes the "." directory. Desktop
+files are now located in ~/.emacs.d by default.
+
+** A new mode for Python.
+This provides several new features, including:
+per-buffer shells, better indentation, Python 3 support, and improved
+shell-interaction compatible with iPython (and virtually any other
+text based shell).
+
+*** Some user options have been replaced/renamed:
+Old defcustom: | New defcustom:
+python-indent | python-indent-offset
+python-guess-indent | python-indent-guess-indent-offset
+python-pdbtrack-do-tracking-p | python-pdbtrack-activate
+python-use-skeletons | python-skeleton-autoinsert
+
+*** Some user options have been removed:
+
+**** `python-indent-string-contents': Strings are never indented.
+
+**** `python-honour-comment-indentation':
+Comments are never considered as indentation markers themselves.
+
+**** `python-continuation-offset': Indentation is automatically
+calculated in a pep8 compliant way depending on the context.
+
+**** `python-shell-prompt-alist', `python-shell-continuation-prompt-alist':
+Have no direct mapping as the shell interaction is completely different.
+
+**** `python-python-command', `python-jython-command':
+Replaced by `python-shell-interpreter'.
+
+**** `inferior-python-filter-regexp', `python-remove-cwd-from-path',
+`python-pdbtrack-minor-mode-string', `python-source-modes':
+No longer relevant.

+python-insert-try/finally | python-skeleton-try
+python-insert-while | python-skeleton-while
+python-find-function | python-nav-jump-to-defun
+python-next-statement | python-nav-forward-sentence
+python-previous-statement | python-nav-backward-sentence
+python-send-buffer | python-shell-send-buffer

\f
* Lisp changes in Emacs 24.2
+** The return value of `defalias' has changed and is now undefined.
+
** `defun' also accepts a (declare DECLS) form, like `defmacro'.
The interpretation of the DECLS is determined by `defun-declarations-alist'.
** New error type and new function `user-error'. Doesn't trigger the debugger.
** The functions get-lru-window, get-mru-window and get-largest-window
-now accept a third argument to avoid chosing the selected window.
+now accept a third argument to avoid choosing the selected window.
** Completion
Emacs now supports mouse highlight, help-echo (in the echo area), and
mouse-autoselect-window.
