89** On window systems, lines which are exactly as wide as the window
90(not counting the final newline character) are no longer broken into
91two lines on the display (with just the newline on the second line).
92Instead, the newline now "overflows" into the right fringe, and the
93cursor will be displayed in the fringe when positioned on that newline.
94
95The new user option 'overflow-newline-into-fringe' may be set to nil to
96revert to the old behaviour of continuing such lines.
97
98** The buffer boundaries (i.e. first and last line in the buffer) may now
99be marked with bitmaps in the fringes. In addition, up and down
100arrow bitmaps may be shown at the top and bottom of the right fringe
101if the window can be scrolled in either direction.
102
103This behavior is activated by setting the buffer-local variable
104`indicate-buffer-boundaries' to a non-nil value. If value is t, both
105boundaries and scrolling arrows are shown; any other non-nil value
106shows only the buffer boundaries. The default value of this variable
107is found in `default-indicate-buffer-boundaries'.
