 #include directives in a C file, we can open the included file when we
 select one of those items.
 
-* Emacs 19.34 is a bug-fix release with no user-visible changes.
-
-* Changes in Emacs 19.33.
-
-** Bibtex mode no longer turns on Auto Fill automatically.  (No major
-mode should do that--it is the user's choice.)
-
-** The variable normal-auto-fill-function specifies the function to
-use for auto-fill-function, if and when Auto Fill is turned on.
-Major modes can set this locally to alter how Auto Fill works.
-
-* Editing Changes in Emacs 19.32
-
-** C-x f with no argument now signals an error.
-To set the fill column at the current column, use C-u C-x f.
-
-** Expanding dynamic abbrevs with M-/ is now smarter about case
-conversion.  If you type the abbreviation with mixed case, and it
-matches the beginning of the expansion including case, then the
-expansion is copied verbatim.  Using SPC M-/ to copy an additional
-word always copies it verbatim except when the previous copied word is
-all caps.
-
-** On a non-windowing terminal, which can display only one Emacs frame
-at a time, creating a new frame with C-x 5 2 also selects that frame.
-
-When using a display that can show multiple frames at once, C-x 5 2
-does make the frame visible, but does not select it.  This is the same
-as in previous Emacs versions.
-
-** You can use C-x 5 2 to create multiple frames on MSDOS, just as on a
-non-X terminal on Unix.  Of course, only one frame is visible at any
-time, since your terminal doesn't have the ability to display multiple
-frames.
-
-** On Windows, set win32-pass-alt-to-system to a non-nil value
-if you would like tapping the Alt key to invoke the Windows menu.
-This feature is not enabled by default; since the Alt key is also the
-Meta key, it is too easy and painful to activate this feature by
-accident.
-
-** The command apply-macro-to-region-lines repeats the last defined
-keyboard macro once for each complete line within the current region.
-It does this line by line, by moving point to the beginning of that
-line and then executing the macro.
-
-This command is not new, but was never documented before.
-
-** You can now use Mouse-1 to place the region around a string constant
-(something surrounded by doublequote characters or other delimiter
-characters of like syntax) by double-clicking on one of the delimiting
-characters.
-
-** Font Lock mode
-
-*** Font Lock support modes
-
-Font Lock can be configured to use Fast Lock mode and Lazy Lock mode (see
-below) in a flexible way.  Rather than adding the appropriate function to the
-hook font-lock-mode-hook, you can use the new variable font-lock-support-mode
-to control which modes have Fast Lock mode or Lazy Lock mode turned on when
-Font Lock mode is enabled.
-
-For example, to use Fast Lock mode when Font Lock mode is turned on, put:
-
- (setq font-lock-support-mode 'fast-lock-mode)
-
-in your ~/.emacs.
-
-*** lazy-lock
-
-The lazy-lock package speeds up Font Lock mode by making fontification occur
-only when necessary, such as when a previously unfontified part of the buffer
-becomes visible in a window.  When you create a buffer with Font Lock mode and
-Lazy Lock mode turned on, the buffer is not fontified.  When certain events
-occur (such as scrolling), Lazy Lock makes sure that the visible parts of the
-buffer are fontified.  Lazy Lock also defers on-the-fly fontification until
-Emacs has been idle for a given amount of time.
-
-To use this package, put in your ~/.emacs:
-
- (setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)
-
-To control the package behaviour, see the documentation for `lazy-lock-mode'.
-
-** Changes in BibTeX mode.
-
-*** For all entries allow spaces and tabs between opening brace or
-paren and key.
-
-*** Non-escaped double-quoted characters (as in `Sch"of') are now
-supported.
-
-** Gnus changes.
-
-Gnus, the Emacs news reader, has undergone further rewriting.  Many new
-commands and variables have been added.  There should be no
-significant incompatibilities between this Gnus version and the
-previously released version, except in the message composition area.
-
-Below is a list of the more user-visible changes.  Coding changes
-between Gnus 5.1 and 5.2 are more extensive.
-
-*** A new message composition mode is used.  All old customization
-variables for mail-mode, rnews-reply-mode and gnus-msg are now
-obsolete.
-
-*** Gnus is now able to generate "sparse" threads -- threads where
-missing articles are represented by empty nodes.
-
-    (setq gnus-build-sparse-threads 'some)
-
-*** Outgoing articles are stored on a special archive server.
-
-    To disable this:  (setq gnus-message-archive-group nil)
-
-*** Partial thread regeneration now happens when articles are
-referred.
-
-*** Gnus can make use of GroupLens predictions:
-
-    (setq gnus-use-grouplens t)
-
-*** A trn-line tree buffer can be displayed.
-
-    (setq gnus-use-trees t)
-
-*** An nn-like pick-and-read minor mode is available for the summary
-buffers.
-
-    (add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook 'gnus-pick-mode)
-
-*** In binary groups you can use a special binary minor mode:
-
-    `M-x gnus-binary-mode'
-
-*** Groups can be grouped in a folding topic hierarchy.
-
-    (add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'gnus-topic-mode)
-
-*** Gnus can re-send and bounce mail.
-
-    Use the `S D r' and `S D b'.
-
-*** Groups can now have a score, and bubbling based on entry frequency
-is possible.
-
-    (add-hook 'gnus-summary-exit-hook 'gnus-summary-bubble-group)
-
-*** Groups can be process-marked, and commands can be performed on
-groups of groups.
-
-*** Caching is possible in virtual groups.
-
-*** nndoc now understands all kinds of digests, mail boxes, rnews news
-batches, ClariNet briefs collections, and just about everything else.
-
-*** Gnus has a new backend (nnsoup) to create/read SOUP packets.
-
-*** The Gnus cache is much faster.
-
-*** Groups can be sorted according to many criteria.
-
-    For instance: (setq gnus-group-sort-function 'gnus-group-sort-by-rank)
-
-*** New group parameters have been introduced to set list-address and
-expiration times.
-
-*** All formatting specs allow specifying faces to be used.
-
-*** There are several more commands for setting/removing/acting on
-process marked articles on the `M P' submap.
-
-*** The summary buffer can be limited to show parts of the available
-articles based on a wide range of criteria.  These commands have been
-bound to keys on the `/' submap.
-
-*** Articles can be made persistent -- as an alternative to saving
-articles with the `*' command.
-
-*** All functions for hiding article elements are now toggles.
-
-*** Article headers can be buttonized.
-
-    (add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-article-add-buttons-to-head)
-
-*** All mail backends support fetching articles by Message-ID.
-
-*** Duplicate mail can now be treated properly.  See the
-`nnmail-treat-duplicates' variable.
-
-*** All summary mode commands are available directly from the article
-buffer.
-
-*** Frames can be part of `gnus-buffer-configuration'.
-
-*** Mail can be re-scanned by a daemonic process.
-
-*** Gnus can make use of NoCeM files to filter spam.
-
-    (setq gnus-use-nocem t)
-
-*** Groups can be made permanently visible.
-
-    (setq gnus-permanently-visible-groups "^nnml:")
-
-*** Many new hooks have been introduced to make customizing easier.
-
-*** Gnus respects the Mail-Copies-To header.
-
-*** Threads can be gathered by looking at the References header.
-
-    (setq gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function
-          'gnus-gather-threads-by-references)
-
-*** Read articles can be stored in a special backlog buffer to avoid
-refetching.
-
-    (setq gnus-keep-backlog 50)
-
-*** A clean copy of the current article is always stored in a separate
-buffer to allow easier treatment.
-
-*** Gnus can suggest where to save articles.  See `gnus-split-methods'.
-
-*** Gnus doesn't have to do as much prompting when saving.
-
-    (setq gnus-prompt-before-saving t)
-
-*** gnus-uu can view decoded files asynchronously while fetching
-articles.
-
-    (setq gnus-uu-grabbed-file-functions 'gnus-uu-grab-view)
-
-*** Filling in the article buffer now works properly on cited text.
-
-*** Hiding cited text adds buttons to toggle hiding, and how much
-cited text to hide is now customizable.
-
-    (setq gnus-cited-lines-visible 2)
-
-*** Boring headers can be hidden.
-
-    (add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-article-hide-boring-headers)
-
-*** Default scoring values can now be set from the menu bar.
-
-*** Further syntax checking of outgoing articles have been added.
-
-The Gnus manual has been expanded.  It explains all these new features
-in greater detail.
-
-* Lisp Changes in Emacs 19.32
-
-** The function set-visited-file-name now accepts an optional
-second argument NO-QUERY.  If it is non-nil, then the user is not
-asked for confirmation in the case where the specified file already
-exists.
-
-** The variable print-length applies to printing vectors and bitvectors,
-as well as lists.
-
-** The new function keymap-parent returns the parent keymap
-of a given keymap.
-
-** The new function set-keymap-parent specifies a new parent for a
-given keymap.  The arguments are KEYMAP and PARENT.  PARENT must be a
-keymap or nil.
-
-** Sometimes menu keymaps use a command name, a symbol, which is really
-an automatically generated alias for some other command, the "real"
-name.  In such a case, you should give that alias symbol a non-nil
-menu-alias property.  That property tells the menu system to look for
-equivalent keys for the real name instead of equivalent keys for the
-alias.
-
-* Editing Changes in Emacs 19.31
-
-** Freedom of the press restricted in the United States.
-
-Emacs has been censored in accord with the Communications Decency Act.
-This includes removing some features of the doctor program.  That law
-was described by its supporters as a ban on pornography, but it bans
-far more than that.  The Emacs distribution has never contained any
-pornography, but parts of it were nonetheless prohibited.
-
-For information on US government censorship of the Internet, and what
-you can do to bring back freedom of the press, see the web site
-`http://www.vtw.org/'.
-
-** A note about C mode indentation customization.
-
-The old (Emacs 19.29) ways of specifying a C indentation style
-do not normally work in the new implementation of C mode.
-It has its own methods of customizing indentation, which are
-much more powerful than the old C mode.  See the Editing Programs
-chapter of the manual for details.
-
-However, you can load the library cc-compat to make the old
-customization variables take effect.
-
-** Marking with the mouse.
-
-When you mark a region with the mouse, the region now remains
-highlighted until the next input event, regardless of whether you are
-using M-x transient-mark-mode.
-
-** Improved Windows NT/95 support.
-
-*** Emacs now supports scroll bars on Windows NT and Windows 95.
-
-*** Emacs now supports subprocesses on Windows 95.  (Subprocesses used
-to work on NT only and not on 95.)
-
-*** There are difficulties with subprocesses, though, due to problems
-in Windows, beyond the control of Emacs.  They work fine as long as
-you run Windows applications.  The problems arise when you run a DOS
-application in a subprocesses.  Since current shells run as DOS
-applications, these problems are significant.
-
-If you run a DOS application in a subprocess, then the application is
-likely to busy-wait, which means that your machine will be 100% busy.
-However, if you don't mind the temporary heavy load, the subprocess
-will work OK as long as you tell it to terminate before you start any
-other DOS application as a subprocess.
-
-Emacs is unable to terminate or interrupt a DOS subprocess.
-You have to do this by providing input directly to the subprocess.
-
-If you run two DOS applications at the same time in two separate
-subprocesses, even if one of them is asynchronous, you will probably
-have to reboot your machine--until then, it will remain 100% busy.
-Windows simply does not cope when one Windows process tries to run two
-separate DOS subprocesses.  Typing CTL-ALT-DEL and then choosing
-Shutdown seems to work although it may take a few minutes.
-
-** M-x resize-minibuffer-mode.
-
-This command, not previously mentioned in NEWS, toggles a mode in
-which the minibuffer window expands to show as many lines as the
-minibuffer contains.
-
-** `title' frame parameter and resource.
-
-The `title' X resource now specifies just the frame title, nothing else.
-It does not affect the name used for looking up other X resources.
-It works by setting the new `title' frame parameter, which likewise
-affects just the displayed title of the frame.
-
-The `name' parameter continues to do what it used to do:
-it specifies the frame name for looking up X resources,
-and also serves as the default for the displayed title
-when the `title' parameter is unspecified or nil.
-
-** Emacs now uses the X toolkit by default, if you have a new
-enough version of X installed (X11R5 or newer).
-
-** When you compile Emacs with the Motif widget set, Motif handles the
-F10 key by activating the menu bar.  To avoid confusion, the usual
-Emacs binding of F10 is replaced with a no-op when using Motif.
-
-If you want to be able to use F10 in Emacs, you can rebind the Motif
-menubar to some other key which you don't use.  To do so, add
-something like this to your X resources file.  This example rebinds
-the Motif menu bar activation key to S-F12:
-
-   Emacs*defaultVirtualBindings:  osfMenuBar : Shift<Key>F12
-
-** In overwrite mode, DEL now inserts spaces in most cases
-to replace the characters it "deletes".
-
-** The Rmail summary now shows the number of lines in each message.
-
-** Rmail has a new command M-x unforward-rmail-message, which extracts
-a forwarded message from the message that forwarded it.  To use it,
-select a message which contains a forwarded message and then type the command.
-It inserts the forwarded message as a separate Rmail message
-immediately after the selected one.
-
-This command also undoes the textual modifications that are standardly
-made, as part of forwarding, by Rmail and other mail reader programs.
-
-** Turning off saving of .saves-... files in your home directory.
-
-Each Emacs session writes a file named .saves-... in your home
-directory to record which files M-x recover-session should recover.
-If you exit Emacs normally with C-x C-c, it deletes that file.  If
-Emacs or the operating system crashes, the file remains for M-x
-recover-session.
-
-You can turn off the writing of these files by setting
-auto-save-list-file-name to nil.  If you do this, M-x recover-session
-will not work.
-
-Some previous Emacs versions failed to delete these files even on
-normal exit.  This is fixed now.  If you are thinking of turning off
-this feature because of past experiences with versions that had this
-bug, it would make sense to check whether you still want to do so
-now that the bug is fixed.
-
-** Changes to Version Control (VC)
-
-There is a new variable, vc-follow-symlinks.  It indicates what to do
-when you visit a link to a file that is under version control.
-Editing the file through the link bypasses the version control system,
-which is dangerous and probably not what you want.
-
-If this variable is t, VC follows the link and visits the real file,
-telling you about it in the echo area.  If it is `ask' (the default),
-VC asks for confirmation whether it should follow the link.  If nil,
-the link is visited and a warning displayed.
-
-** iso-acc.el now lets you specify a choice of language.
-Languages include "latin-1" (the default) and "latin-2" (which
-is designed for entering ISO Latin-2 characters).
-
-There are also choices for specific human languages such as French and
-Portuguese.  These are subsets of Latin-1, which differ in that they
-enable only the accent characters needed for particular language.
-The other accent characters, not needed for the chosen language,
-remain normal.
-
-** Posting articles and sending mail now has M-TAB completion on various
-header fields (Newsgroups, To, CC, ...).
-
-Completion in the Newsgroups header depends on the list of groups
-known to your news reader.  Completion in the Followup-To header
-offers those groups which are in the Newsgroups header, since
-Followup-To usually just holds one of those.
-
-Completion in fields that hold mail addresses works based on the list
-of local users plus your aliases.  Additionally, if your site provides
-a mail directory or a specific host to use for any unrecognized user
-name, you can arrange to query that host for completion also.  (See the
-documentation of variables `mail-directory-process' and
-`mail-directory-stream'.)
-
-** A greatly extended sgml-mode offers new features such as (to be configured)
-skeletons with completing read for tags and attributes, typing named
-characters including optionally all 8bit characters, making tags invisible
-with optional alternate display text, skipping and deleting tag(pair)s.
-
-Note: since Emacs' syntax feature cannot limit the special meaning of ', " and
-- to inside <>, for some texts the result, especially of font locking, may be
-wrong (see `sgml-specials' if you get wrong results).
-
-The derived html-mode configures this with tags and attributes more or
-less HTML3ish.  It also offers optional quick keys like C-c 1 for
-headline or C-c u for unordered list (see `html-quick-keys').  Edit /
-Text Properties / Face or M-g combinations create tags as applicable.
-Outline minor mode is supported and level 1 font-locking tries to
-fontify tag contents (which only works when they fit on one line, due
-to a limitation in font-lock).
-
-External viewing via browse-url can occur automatically upon saving.
-
-** M-x imenu-add-to-menubar now adds to the menu bar for the current
-buffer only.  If you want to put an Imenu item in the menu bar for all
-buffers that use a particular major mode, use the mode hook, as in
-this example:
-
-    (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook
-              '(lambda () (imenu-add-to-menubar "Index")))
-
-** Changes in BibTeX mode.
-
-*** Field names may now contain digits, hyphens, and underscores.
-
-*** Font Lock mode is now supported.
-
-*** bibtex-make-optional-field is no longer interactive.
-
-*** If bibtex-maintain-sorted-entries is non-nil, inserting new
-entries is now done with a faster algorithm.  However, inserting
-will fail in this case if the buffer contains invalid entries or
-isn't in sorted order, so you should finish each entry with C-c C-c
-(bibtex-close-entry) after you have inserted or modified it.
-The default value of bibtex-maintain-sorted-entries is nil.
-
-*** Function `show-all' is no longer bound to a key, since C-u C-c C-q
-does the same job.
-
-*** Entries with quotes inside quote-delimited fields (as `author =
-"Stefan Sch{\"o}f"') are now supported.
-
-*** Case in field names doesn't matter anymore when searching for help
-text.
-
-** Font Lock mode
-
-*** Global Font Lock mode
-
-Font Lock mode can be turned on globally, in buffers that support it, by the
-new command global-font-lock-mode.  You can use the new variable
-font-lock-global-modes to control which modes have Font Lock mode automagically
-turned on.  By default, this variable is set so that Font Lock mode is turned
-on globally where the buffer mode supports it.
-
-For example, to automagically turn on Font Lock mode where supported, put:
-
- (global-font-lock-mode t)
-
-in your ~/.emacs.
-
-*** Local Refontification
-
-In Font Lock mode, editing a line automatically refontifies that line only.
-However, if your change alters the syntactic context for following lines,
-those lines remain incorrectly fontified.  To refontify them, use the new
-command M-g M-g (font-lock-fontify-block).
-
-In certain major modes, M-g M-g refontifies the entire current function.
-(The variable font-lock-mark-block-function controls how to find the
-current function.)  In other major modes, M-g M-g refontifies 16 lines
-above and below point.
-
-With a prefix argument N, M-g M-g refontifies N lines above and below point.
-
-** Follow mode
-
-Follow mode is a new minor mode combining windows showing the same
-buffer into one tall "virtual window".  The windows are typically two
-side-by-side windows.  Follow mode makes them scroll together as if
-they were a unit.  To use it, go to a frame with just one window,
-split it into two side-by-side windows using C-x 3, and then type M-x
-follow-mode.
-
-M-x follow-mode turns off Follow mode if it is already enabled.
-
-To display two side-by-side windows and activate Follow mode, use the
-command M-x follow-delete-other-windows-and-split.
-
-** hide-show changes.
-
-The hooks hs-hide-hooks and hs-show-hooks have been renamed
-to hs-hide-hook and hs-show-hook, to follow the convention for
-normal hooks.
-
-** Simula mode now has a menu containing the most important commands.
-The new command simula-indent-exp is bound to C-M-q.
-
-** etags can now handle programs written in Erlang.  Files are
-recognised by the extensions .erl and .hrl.  The tagged lines are
-those that begin a function, record, or macro.
-
-** MSDOS Changes
-
-*** It is now possible to compile Emacs with the version 2 of DJGPP.
-Compilation with DJGPP version 1 also still works.
-
-*** The documentation of DOS-specific aspects of Emacs was rewritten
-and expanded; see the ``MS-DOS'' node in the on-line docs.
-
-*** Emacs now uses ~ for backup file names, not .bak.
-
-*** You can simulate mouse-3 on two-button mice by simultaneously
-pressing both mouse buttons.
-
-*** A number of packages and commands which previously failed or had
-restricted functionality on MS-DOS, now work.  The most important ones
-are:
-
-**** Printing (both with `M-x lpr-buffer' and with `ps-print' package)
-now works.
-
-**** `Ediff' works (in a single-frame mode).
-
-**** `M-x display-time' can be used on MS-DOS (due to the new
-implementation of Emacs timers, see below).
-
-**** `Dired' supports Unix-style shell wildcards.
-
-**** The `c-macro-expand' command now works as on other platforms.
-
-**** `M-x recover-session' works.
-
-**** `M-x list-colors-display' displays all the available colors.
-
-**** The `TPU-EDT' package works.
-
-* Lisp changes in Emacs 19.31.
-
-** The function using-unix-filesystems on Windows NT and Windows 95
-tells Emacs to read and write files assuming that they reside on a
-remote Unix filesystem.  No CR/LF translation is done on any files in
-this case.  Invoking using-unix-filesystems with t activates this
-behavior, and invoking it with any other value deactivates it.
-
-** Change in system-type and system-configuration values.
-
-The value of system-type on a Linux-based GNU system is now `lignux',
-not `linux'.  This means that some programs which use `system-type'
-need to be changed.  The value of `system-configuration' will also
-be different.
-
-It is generally recommended to use `system-configuration' rather
-than `system-type'.
-
-See the file LINUX-GNU in this directory for more about this.
-
-** The functions shell-command and dired-call-process
-now run file name handlers for default-directory, if it has them.
-
-** Undoing the deletion of text now restores the positions of markers
-that pointed into or next to the deleted text.
-
-** Timers created with run-at-time now work internally to Emacs, and
-no longer use a separate process.  Therefore, they now work more
-reliably and can be used for shorter time delays.
-
-The new function run-with-timer is a convenient way to set up a timer
-to run a specified amount of time after the present.  A call looks
-like this:
-
-  (run-with-timer SECS REPEAT FUNCTION ARGS...)
-
-SECS says how many seconds should elapse before the timer happens.
-It may be an integer or a floating point number.  When the timer
-becomes ripe, the action is to call FUNCTION with arguments ARGS.
-
-REPEAT gives the interval for repeating the timer (measured in
-seconds).  It may be an integer or a floating point number.  nil or 0
-means don't repeat at all--call FUNCTION just once.
-
-*** with-timeout provides an easy way to do something but give
-up if too much time passes.
-
-  (with-timeout (SECONDS TIMEOUT-FORMS...) BODY...)
-
-This executes BODY, but gives up after SECONDS seconds.
-If it gives up, it runs the TIMEOUT-FORMS and returns the value
-of the last one of them.  Normally it returns the value of the last
-form in BODY.
-
-*** You can now arrange to call a function whenever Emacs is idle for
-a certain length of time.  To do this, call run-with-idle-timer.  A
-call looks like this:
-
-  (run-with-idle-timer SECS REPEAT FUNCTION ARGS...)
-
-SECS says how many seconds of idleness should elapse before the timer
-runs.  It may be an integer or a floating point number.  When the
-timer becomes ripe, the action is to call FUNCTION with arguments
-ARGS.
-
-Emacs becomes idle whenever it finishes executing a keyboard or mouse
-command.  It remains idle until it receives another keyboard or mouse
-command.
-
-REPEAT, if non-nil, means this timer should be activated again each
-time Emacs becomes idle and remains idle for SECS seconds The timer
-does not repeat if Emacs *remains* idle; it runs at most once after
-each time Emacs becomes idle.
-
-If REPEAT is nil, the timer runs just once, the first time Emacs is
-idle for SECS seconds.
-
-*** post-command-idle-hook is now obsolete; you shouldn't use it at
-all, because it interferes with the idle timer mechanism.  If your
-programs use post-command-idle-hook, convert them to use idle timers
-instead.
-
-*** y-or-n-p-with-timeout lets you ask a question but give up if
-there is no answer within a certain time.
-
-  (y-or-n-p-with-timeout PROMPT SECONDS DEFAULT-VALUE)
-
-asks the question PROMPT (just like y-or-n-p).  If the user answers
-within SECONDS seconds, it returns the answer that the user gave.
-Otherwise it gives up after SECONDS seconds, and returns DEFAULT-VALUE.
-
-** Minor change to `encode-time': you can now pass more than seven
-arguments.  If you do that, the first six arguments have the usual
-meaning, the last argument is interpreted as the time zone, and the
-arguments in between are ignored.
-
-This means that it works to use the list returned by `decode-time' as
-the list of arguments for `encode-time'.
-
-** The default value of load-path now includes the directory
-/usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/site-lisp In addition to
-/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp.  You can use this new directory for
-site-specific Lisp packages that belong with a particular Emacs
-version.
-
-It is not unusual for a Lisp package that works well in one Emacs
-version to cause trouble in another.  Sometimes packages need updating
-for incompatible changes; sometimes they look at internal data that
-has changed; sometimes the package has been installed in Emacs itself
-and the installed version should be used.  Whatever the reason for the
-problem, this new feature makes it easier to solve.
-
-** When your program contains a fixed file name (like .completions or
-.abbrev.defs), the file name usually needs to be different on operating
-systems with limited file name syntax.
-
-Now you can avoid ad-hoc conditionals by using the function
-convert-standard-filename to convert the file name to a proper form
-for each operating system.  Here is an example of use, from the file
-completions.el:
-
-(defvar save-completions-file-name
-        (convert-standard-filename "~/.completions")
-  "*The filename to save completions to.")
-
-This sets the variable save-completions-file-name to a value that
-depends on the operating system, because the definition of
-convert-standard-filename depends on the operating system.  On
-Unix-like systems, it returns the specified file name unchanged.  On
-MS-DOS, it adapts the name to fit the limitations of that system.
-
-** The interactive spec N now returns the numeric prefix argument
-rather than the raw prefix argument.  (It still reads a number using the
-minibuffer if there is no prefix argument at all.)
-
-** When a process is deleted, this no longer disconnects the process
-marker from its buffer position.
-
-** The variable garbage-collection-messages now controls whether
-Emacs displays a message at the beginning and end of garbage collection.
-The default is nil, meaning there are no messages.
-
-** The variable debug-ignored-errors specifies certain kinds of errors
-that should not enter the debugger.  Its value is a list of error
-condition symbols and/or regular expressions.  If the error has any
-of the condition symbols listed, or if any of the regular expressions
-matches the error message, then that error does not enter the debugger,
-regardless of the value of debug-on-error.
-
-This variable is initialized to match certain common but uninteresting
-errors that happen often during editing.
-
-** The new function error-message-string converts an error datum
-into its error message.  The error datum is what condition-case
-puts into the variable, to describe the error that happened.
-
-** Anything that changes which buffer appears in a given window
-now runs the window-scroll-functions for that window.
-
-** The new function get-buffer-window-list returns a list of windows displaying
-a buffer.  The function is called with the buffer (a buffer object or a buffer
-name) and two optional arguments specifying the minibuffer windows and frames
-to search.  Therefore this function takes optional args like next-window etc.,
-and not get-buffer-window.
-
-** buffer-substring now runs the hook buffer-access-fontify-functions,
-calling each function with two arguments--the range of the buffer
-being accessed.  buffer-substring-no-properties does not call them.
-
-If you use this feature, you should set the variable
-buffer-access-fontified-property to a non-nil symbol, which is a
-property name.  Then, if all the characters in the buffer range have a
-non-nil value for that property, the buffer-access-fontify-functions
-are not called.  When called, these functions should put a non-nil
-property on the text that they fontify, so that they won't get called
-over and over for the same text.
-
-** Changes in lisp-mnt.el
-
-*** The lisp-mnt package can now recognize file headers that are written
-in the formats used by the `what' command and the RCS `ident' command:
-
-;; @(#) HEADER: text
-;; $HEADER: text $
-
-in addition to the normal
-
-;; HEADER: text
-
-*** The commands lm-verify and lm-synopsis are now interactive.  lm-verify
-checks that the library file has proper sections and headers, and
-lm-synopsis extracts first line "synopsis'"information.
