 * Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 22.1:
 
+** Changes in Hi Lock:
+
++++
+*** hi-lock-mode now only affects a single buffer, and a new function
+`global-hi-lock-mode' enables Hi Lock in all buffers.  By default, if
+hi-lock-mode is used in what appears to be the initialization file, a
+warning message suggests to use global-hi-lock-mode instead.  However,
+if the new variable `hi-lock-archaic-interface-deduce' is non-nil,
+using hi-lock-mode in an initialization file will turn on Hi Lock in all
+buffers and no warning will be issued (for compatibility with the
+behavior in older versions of Emacs).
