`--with-file-notification-no'. See below for file-notify features.
FIXME? This feature is not available for the Nextstep port. (?)
+** The configure option `without-compress-info' has been generalized,
+and renamed to `without-compress-install'. It now prevents compression
+of _any_ files during installation.
+
** The configure option --with-crt-dir has been removed.
It is no longer needed, as the crt*.o files are no longer linked
specially.
** Emacs for NS (OSX, GNUStep) can be built with ImageMagick support.
pkg-config is required to find ImageMagick libraries.
+** For OSX >= 10.5, the Core text based font backend from the Mac port is used.
+For GNUStep and OSX 10.4 the old backend is used.
+To use the old backend by default, do on the command line:
+% defaults write org.gnu.Emacs FontBackend ns

* Startup Changes in Emacs 24.4
** `initial-buffer-choice' can now specify a function to set up the
initial buffer.
+** The *Messages* buffer is created in a new major mode `messages-buffer-mode',
+and read-only. Code that might create the *Messages* buffer should
+call the function `messages-buffer' to do so and set the mode.
+
** `remember-notes' creates a buffer whose content is saved on kill-emacs.
You may think of it as a *scratch* buffer whose content is preserved.
In fact, it was designed as a replacement for *scratch* buffer and can
*** In VC directory mode, `L' lists the change log for the current VC
controlled tree in a window.
-*** `C-x v G' (globally) and `G' (in VC directory mode) ignores a
-file under current version control system.
+*** In VC directory mode, `I' shows a log of changes that will be
+received with a pull operation.
+
+*** `C-x v G' (globally) and `G' (in VC directory mode) ignores a file
+under current version control system. When called with a prefix
+argument, you can remove a file from the ignored file list.
+
+*** `cvs-append-to-ignore' has been renamed to `vc-cvs-append-to-ignore'
+because it is moved to vc-cvs.el.
** cl-lib
*** key bindings to navigate through and select the completions.
*** The icomplete-separator is customizable, and its default has changed.
*** Removed icomplete-show-key-bindings.
+*** Icomplete-mode by defaults applies to all forms of minibuffer completion.
+(setq icomplete-with-completion-tables '(internal-complete-buffer))
+will revert to the old behavior.
+
** Ido
*** Ido has a manual now.
`f' (`image-next-frame') and `b' (`image-previous-frame') visit the
next or previous frame. `F' (`image-goto-frame') shows a specific frame.
+*** New commands to speed up, slow down, or reverse animation.
+
---
*** The command `image-mode-fit-frame' deletes other windows.
When toggling, it restores the frame's previous window configuration.
** Tramp
+*** The experimental url syntax for remote file names is withdrawn.
+
+++
*** New connection method "adb", which allows to access Android
devices by the Android Debug Bridge. The variable `tramp-adb-program'
** `visited-file-modtime' now returns -1 for nonexistent files.
Formerly it returned a list (-1 LOW USEC PSEC), but this was ambiguous
in the presence of files with negative time stamps.
+
+** The cars of the elements in `interpreter-mode-alist' are now treated
+as regexps rather than literal strings. Technically this is an
+incompatible change, but unless you are using interpreter-mode-alist
+for something (not just adding elements to it), it ought not to affect you.

* Lisp Changes in Emacs 24.4
+** New bool-vector set operation functions:

+*** `bool-vector-union'
+*** `bool-vector-intersection'
+*** `bool-vector-set-difference'
+*** `bool-vector-not'
+*** `bool-vector-subset'

+*** `bool-vector-count-matches-at'
+
+** Comparison functions =, <, >, <=, >= now take many arguments.
+
+** The second argument of `eval' can now be a lexical-environment.
+
+** `with-demoted-errors' takes an additional argument `format'.
+++
** New function `define-error'.
*** New functions `image-current-frame' and `image-show-frame' for getting
and setting the current frame of a multi-frame image.
+*** You can change the speed of animated images.
+
** Changes in encoding and decoding of text
---
`preserve-extended-attributes' as it now handles both SELinux context
and ACL entries.
+** The `common-substring' argument of display-completion-list is obsolete.
+Either use `completion-all-completions' which already returns highlighted
+strings (including for partial or substring completion) or call
+`completion-hilit-commonality' to add the highlight.

* Changes in Emacs 24.4 on Non-Free Operating Systems
-** Emacs for MS-Windows can now be built by running the configure script
-using the MSYS environment and MinGW development tools.
-This is from now on the preferred method of building Emacs on
-MS-Windows. The Windows-specific configure.bat and makefile.w32-in
-files are deprecated. See the file nt/INSTALL.MSYS for detailed
-instructions.
+** The procedure for building Emacs on MS-Windows has changed.
+It is now built by running the same configure script as on all other
+platforms. This requires the MSYS environment and MinGW development
+tools. See the updated instructions in nt/INSTALL for details.
Using the Posix configure script and Makefile's also means a change in
the directory structure of the Emacs installation on Windows. It is
