+*** The new function 'frame-size-changed-p' can tell whether a frame has
+been resized since the last time 'window-size-change-functions' has been
+run.
+
++++
+*** The function 'frame-geometry' now also returns the width of a
+frame's outer border.
+
++++
+*** New frame parameters

+
++++
+**** 'min-width' and 'min-height' specify the absolute minimum size of a
+frame.
+
++++
+**** 'parent-frame' makes a frame the child frame of another Emacs
+frame.  The section "Child Frames" in the Elisp manual describes the
+intrinsics of that relationship.

+**** 'delete-before' triggers deletion of one frame before that of
+another.

++++
+**** 'mouse-wheel-frame' specifies another frame whose windows shall be
+scrolled instead.

+**** 'no-focus-on-map' avoids that a frame gets input focus when mapped.
+
++++
+**** 'no-accept-focus' means that a frame does not want to get input
+focus via the mouse.

+**** 'undecorated' removes the window manager decorations from a frame.

+frame.

+values now.
+

+*** The new function 'frame-list-z-order' returns a list of all frames
+in Z (stacking) order.
+
++++
+*** The function 'x-focus-frame' optionally tries to not activate its
+frame.
+
++++
+*** The variable 'focus-follows-mouse' has a third meaningful value
+'auto-raise' to indicate that the window manager automatically raises a
+frame when the mouse pointer enters it.

++++
+*** The new function 'frame-restack' puts a frame above or below
+another on the display.
