+** M-x move-to-column, if called interactively with no prefix arg, now
+prompts for a column number.

+** `mouse-avoidance-banish-position' can now be used to customize
+`mouse-avoidance-mode' further.
+
+** `C-M-f' and `C-M-b' will now move to the path name separator
+character when doing minibuffer filename prompts.

 * Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 24.2
 
+** which-function-mode now applies to all applicable major modes by default.

 ** Bidirectional editing
 
+*** Support reordering structured text
+Two important use cases: (1) comments and strings in program sources,
+and (2) text with markup, like HTML or XML.
+
+One idea is to invent a special text property that would instruct the
+display engine to reorder only the parts of buffer text covered by
+that property.  The display engine will then push its state onto the
+iterator stack, restrict the bidi iterator to accessing only the
+portion of buffer text covered by the property, reorder the text, then
+pop its state from stack and continue as usual.  This will require
+minor changes in the bidi_it structure.
+
+This design requires Lisp-level code to put the text properties on the
+relevant parts of the buffer text.  That could be done using JIT
+fontifications, or as a preliminary processing when the file is
+visited.  With HTML/XML, the code that puts text properties needs to
+pay attention to the bidi directives embedded in the HTML/XML stream.

+One problem is the header line, which is produced by the same routines
+as the mode line.  While it makes sense to have the mode-line
 direction controlled by a single global variable, header lines are
 buffer-specific, so they need a separate treatment in this regard.
