+* Installation Changes in Emacs 24.5
+
++++
+** Building Emacs now requires GNU make.
+
+** By default, Emacs no longer works on IRIX.  We expect that Emacs
+users are not affected by this, as SGI stopped supporting IRIX in
+December 2013.  If you are affected, please send a bug report.  You
+should be able to work around the problem either by porting the Emacs
+undumping code to GCC under IRIX, or by configuring --with-wide-int,
+or by sticking with Emacs 24.4.

+The function `tty-run-terminal-initialization' consults this variable
+when deciding what terminal-specific initialization code to run.
+
+---
+** New variable `system-configuration-features', listing some of the
+main features that Emacs was compiled with.  This is mainly intended
+for use in Emacs bug reports.

+to delete or undelete multiple messages.

+protocols as well as for "telnet" and "ftp" are passed to Tramp.
