* Installation Changes in Emacs 24.4
-** Emacs can be compiled with ACL support.
+** Emacs can now be compiled with ACL support.
This happens by default if a suitable support library is found at
build time, like libacl on GNU/Linux. To prevent this, use the
configure option `--disable-acl'.
-** Emacs can be compiled with file notification support.
+** Emacs can now be compiled with file notification support.
This happens by default if a suitable system library is found at
build time. To prevent this, use the configure option
`--with-file-notification-no'. See below for file-notify features.
FIXME? This feature is not available for the Nextstep port. (?)
-** The configure option `without-compress-info' has been generalized,
-and renamed to `without-compress-install'. It now prevents compression
+---
+** The configure option `--without-compress-info' has been generalized,
+and renamed to `--without-compress-install'. It now prevents compression
of _any_ files during installation.
-** The configure option --with-crt-dir has been removed.
+---
+** The configure option `--with-crt-dir' has been removed.
It is no longer needed, as the crt*.o files are no longer linked
specially.
+---
** Directories passed to configure option `--enable-locallisppath' are
no longer created during installation.
-** Emacs can be compiled with zlib support. If this library is present
-(which it normally is on most systems), the function
-`zlib-decompress-region' becomes available, which can decompress gzip-
-and zlib-format compressed data.

** Emacs for NS (OSX, GNUStep) can be built with ImageMagick support.
will instead append, if the argument begins with `:' (or `;' on MS Windows;
i.e., `path-separator').
++++
+** If you use either site-load.el or site-init.el to customize the dumped
+Emacs executable, any changes to `load-path' that these files make
+will no longer be present after dumping. To affect a permanent change
+to `load-path', use the `--enable-locallisppath' option of `configure'.
+
++++
+** The user option `initial-buffer-choice' can now specify a function
+to set up the initial buffer.
+
\f
* Changes in Emacs 24.4
++++
+** New option `gnutls-verify-error', if non-nil, means that Emacs
+should reject SSL/TLS certificates that GnuTLS determines as invalid.
+(This option defaults to nil at present, but this is expected to change
+in a future release.)
+
+++
** Emacs now supports menus on text-mode terminals.
If the terminal supports a mouse, clicking on the menu bar, or on
(Typing M-` will always invoke `tmm-menubar', even if
`tty-menu-open-use-tmm' is nil.)
-** Key ? also describes prefix bindings like C-h.
-
-+++
-** `cache-long-line-scans' has been renamed to `cache-long-scans'
-because it affects caching of paragraph scanning results as well.
-
+++
-** `apropos-variable' is now `apropos-user-option'
-`apropos-user-option' shows all user options while `apropos-variable'
-shows all variables. When called with a universal prefix argument,
-the two commands swap their behaviors. When `apropos-do-all' is
-non-nil, they output the same results.
+** The *Messages* buffer is created in `messages-buffer-mode',
+a new major mode, with read-only status. Any code that might create
+the *Messages* buffer should call the function `messages-buffer' to do
+so and set up the mode.
-+++
-** `eval-defun' on an already defined defcustom calls the :set function,
-if there is one.
-
-** If the new variable `enable-dir-local-variables' is nil,
-directory local variables are ignored. May be useful for some modes
-that want to ignore directory-locals while still respecting file-locals.
-
-** The option `set-mark-default-inactive' has been deleted.
-This unfinished feature was introduced by accident in Emacs 23.1;
-simply disabling Transient Mark mode does the same thing.
-
-** `initial-buffer-choice' can now specify a function to set up the
-initial buffer.
-
-** The *Messages* buffer is created in a new major mode `messages-buffer-mode',
-and read-only. Code that might create the *Messages* buffer should
-call the function `messages-buffer' to do so and set the mode.
-
-** `remember-notes' creates a buffer whose content is saved on kill-emacs.
-You may think of it as a *scratch* buffer whose content is preserved.
-In fact, it was designed as a replacement for *scratch* buffer and can
-be used that way by setting `initial-buffer-choice' to `remember-notes'
-and `remember-notes-buffer-name' to "*scratch*". Without the second
-change, *scratch* buffer will still be there for notes that do not
-need to be preserved.
-
-** `write-region-inhibit-fsync' now defaults to t in batch mode.
-
-** ACL support has been added.
+** Emacs now supports ACLs (access control lists).
+++
*** Emacs preserves the ACL entries of files when backing up.
+++
libacl. On MS-Windows, the NT Security APIs are used to emulate the
POSIX ACL interfaces.
-** New option `scroll-bar-adjust-thumb-portion'.
-Available only on X, this option allows to control over-scrolling
-using the scroll bar (i.e. dragging the thumb down even when the end
-of the buffer is visible).
-
-** New function `add-face-text-property' has been added, which can be
-used to conveniently prepend/append new face attributes to text.
-
-** In compiled Lisp files, the header no longer includes a timestamp.
-
** Multi-monitor support has been added.
*** New functions `display-monitor-attributes-list' and
`x-display-pixel-width', `x-display-pixel-height', `display-mm-width',
`display-mm-height', `x-display-mm-width', and `x-display-mm-height'.
-** New macro `define-alternatives' can be used to define generic commands.
-Generic commands are interactive functions whose implementation can be
-selected among several alternatives, as a matter of user preference.
++++
+** The cursor stops blinking after 10 blinks (by default) on X and NS.
+You can change the default by customizing `blink-cursor-blinks'.
-** New hooks `focus-in-hook', `focus-out-hook'.
-These are normal hooks run when an Emacs frame gains or loses input focus.
++++
+** In keymaps where SPC scrolls forward, S-SPC now scrolls backward.
+This affects View mode, etc.
-** The blink cursor stops blinking after 10 blinks (default) on X and NS.
-You can change the default by customizing the variable blink-cursor-blinks.
-Also timers for blinking are stopped when no blinking is done, so Emacs does
-not consume CPU cycles.
+** Help changes
-** New command `frameset-to-register' is now bound to `C-x r f', replacing
-`frame-configuration-to-register'. It offers similar functionality, plus
-some enhancements, like the ability to restore deleted frames. Command
-`frame-configuration-to-register' is still available, but unbound.
++++
+*** The command `apropos-variable' is renamed to `apropos-user-option'.
+`apropos-user-option' shows all user options while `apropos-variable'
+shows all variables. When called with a universal prefix argument,
+the two commands swap their behaviors. When `apropos-do-all' is
+non-nil, they output the same results.
-** The command `quail-help' is deleted. Use `C-h C-\'
++++
+*** The key `?' now describes prefix bindings, like `C-h'.
+
+*** The command `quail-help' is deleted. Use `C-h C-\'
(`describe-input-method') instead.
+** ImageMagick
+
+*** ImageMagick images now support the :max-width and :max-height
+keywords.
+
+*** Some data types aren't auto-detected by ImageMagick. Adding
+:format to `create-image' may help if the content type is in the
+new variable `image-format-suffixes'.
+
+** Frame and window changes
+
++++
+*** New commands `toggle-frame-fullscreen' and `toggle-frame-maximized',
+bound to <f11> and M-<f10>, respectively.
+
+*** New command `frameset-to-register' is now bound to `C-x r f', replacing
+`frame-configuration-to-register'. It offers similar functionality,
+plus enhancements like the ability to restore deleted frames. The
+command `frame-configuration-to-register' still exists, but is unbound.
+
++++
+*** New hooks `focus-in-hook', `focus-out-hook'.
+These are normal hooks run when an Emacs frame gains or loses input focus.
+
+---
+*** `split-window' is now a non-interactive function, not a command.
+As a command, it was a special case of `C-x 2' (`split-window-below'),
+and as such superfluous. After being reimplemented in Lisp, its
+interactive form was mistakenly retained.
+
++++
+*** New option `scroll-bar-adjust-thumb-portion'.
+Available only on X, this option allows to control over-scrolling
+using the scroll bar (i.e. dragging the thumb down even when the end
+of the buffer is visible).
+
+** Lisp evaluation changes
++++
+*** `eval-defun' on an already defined defcustom calls the :set function,
+if there is one.
+
+*** A zero prefix arg of `eval-last-sexp' (`C-x C-e'),
+`eval-expression' (`M-:') and `eval-print-last-sexp' (`C-j') inserts
+a list with no limit on its length and level (by using nil values of
+`print-length' and `print-level'), and inserts additional formats for
+integers (octal, hexadecimal, and character).
+
+---
+** `write-region-inhibit-fsync' now defaults to t in batch mode.
+
++++
+** `cache-long-line-scans' has been renamed to `cache-long-scans'
+because it affects caching of paragraph scanning results as well.
+
+---
+** The option `set-mark-default-inactive' has been deleted.
+This unfinished feature was introduced by accident in Emacs 23.1;
+simply disabling Transient Mark mode does the same thing.
+
** The default value of `comment-use-global-state' is changed to t,
and this variable has been marked obsolete.
-** `fill-single-char-nobreak-p' prevents fill from breaking a line after
-a 1-letter word, which is an error according to Polish and
-Czech typography rules. To globally enable this feature, evaluate:
+** New user options:
- (add-hook 'fill-nobreak-predicate 'fill-single-char-nobreak-p)
+*** `read-regexp-defaults-function' defines a function to read regexps,
+used by commands like `rgrep', `lgrep' `occur', `highlight-regexp',
+etc. You can customize this to specify a function that provides a
+default value from the regexp last history element, or from the symbol
+found at point.
+
+*** `load-prefer-newer', affects how the `load' function chooses the
+file to load. If this is non-nil, then when both .el and .elc
+versions of a file exist, and the caller did not explicitly specify
+which one to load, then the newer file is loaded. The default, nil,
+means to always load the .elc file.
\f
* Editing Changes in Emacs 24.4
-** `electric-indent-mode' is enabled by default.
+** Indentation changes
-** Uniquify is enabled by default.
-
-** Command `rectangle-mark-mode' bound to C-x SPC makes a rectangular region.
-Most commands are still unaware of it, but kill/yank do work on the rectangle.
++++
+*** The behavior of `C-x TAB' (`indent-rigidly') has changed.
+When invoked without a prefix argument, it now activates a transient
+mode in which typing <left>, <right>, <S-left>, and <S-right> adjusts
+the text indentation in the region. Typing any other key resumes
+normal editing behavior.
-** C-x TAB enters a transient interactive mode.
-You can then use the left/right cursor keys to move the block of text.
+*** `electric-indent-mode' is enabled by default.
-** `tab-stop-list' is now implicitly extended to infinity by repeating
+*** `tab-stop-list' is now implicitly extended to infinity by repeating
the last step. Its default value is changed to nil which means a tab
stop every `tab-width' columns.
-** `split-window' is no longer a command, just a non-interactive function.
-As a command it was a special case of `split-window-below', and as such
-superfluous. After being reimplemented in Lisp, its interactive form
-was mistakenly retained.
+** Filling changes
-** New commands `toggle-frame-fullscreen' and `toggle-frame-maximized',
-bound to <f11> and M-<f10>, respectively.
+*** New command `cycle-spacing' cycles between spacing conventions:
+having just one space, no spaces, or reverting to the original
+spacing. Like `just-one-space', it can handle or ignore newlines and
+leave different number of spaces.
-** In keymaps where SPC scrolls, S-SPC now scrolls in the reverse direction.
-Eg View mode, etc.
+*** `fill-single-char-nobreak-p' prevents fill from breaking a line after
+a 1-letter word, which is an error according to Polish and
+Czech typography rules. To globally enable this feature, evaluate:
+
+ (add-hook 'fill-nobreak-predicate 'fill-single-char-nobreak-p)
+
++++
+** Uniquify is enabled by default with `post-forward-angle-brackets' style.
+
+** New command `C-x SPC' (`rectangle-mark-mode') makes a rectangular region.
+Most commands are still unaware of it, but kill/yank do work on the rectangle.
+++
** New option `visual-order-cursor-movement'.
left, <right> always moves to the right, disregarding the surrounding
bidirectional context.
-** All register commands can now show help with preview.
+** Register changes
-** New command `kmacro-to-register' to store keyboard macros in registers.
+*** All register commands can now show help with preview.
-** Shell Script mode
++++
+*** New command `C-x C-k x' (`kmacro-to-register') stores keyboard
+macros in registers.
-*** `sh-mode' now has the mode own `add-log-current-defun-function'.
-You can pick the name of the function and the variables with `C-x 4 a'.
+*** New command `C-x r f' (`frameset-to-register').
+See Changes in Emacs 24.4, above.
+
+** New command `delete-duplicate-lines'.
+When its arg ADJACENT is non-nil (when called interactively with C-u
+C-u) it works like the utility `uniq'. Otherwise by default it
+deletes duplicate lines everywhere in the region without regard to
+adjacency. When its arg KEEP-BLANKS is non-nil (when called
+interactively with C-u C-u C-u), duplicate blank lines are preserved.

* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 24.4
-** The backtrace debugger can display local vars with `v'.
-
-** prolog-use-smie has been removed, along with the non-SMIE indentation code.
-
-** SMIE indentation can be customized via `smie-config'.
-The customization can be guessed by Emacs by providing a sample indented
-file and letting SMIE learn from it.
-
-** sh-script now uses its SMIE indentation algorithm by default.
-
-** The debugger's `e' command evaluates the code in the context at point.
-This includes using the lexical environment at point, which means that
-`e' now lets you access lexical variables as well.
-
-** `eshell' now supports visual subcommands and options
-Eshell has been able to handle "visual" commands (interactive,
-non-line oriented commands such as top that require display
-capabilities not provided by eshell) by running them in an Emacs
-terminal emulator. See `eshell-visual-commands'.
-
-This feature has been extended to subcommands and options that make a
-usually line-oriented command a visual command. Typical examples are
-"git log" and "git <command> --help" which display their output in a
-pager by default. See `eshell-visual-subcommands' and
-`eshell-visual-options'.
-
-** If your Emacs is compiled with libxml2 support, you can use the new
-built-in web browser `eww'.
-
-** `remember' can now store notes in separates files
-You can use the new function `remember-store-in-files' within the
-`remember-handler-functions' option.
-
-See `remember-data-directory' and `remember-directory-file-name-format'
-for new options related to this function.
-
** More packages look for ~/.emacs.d/<foo> additionally to ~/.<foo>.
Affected files:
~/.emacs.d/timelog replaces ~/.timelog
~/.emacs.d/todo-done replaces ~/.todo-done
~/.emacs.d/todo-top replaces ~/.todo-top
+** Backtrace and debugger
-** Delphi mode is now called OPascal mode.
-*** All delphi-* variables and functions have been renamed to opascal-*.
-*** `delphi-newline-always-indents' is not supported any more.
-Use `electric-indent-mode' instead.
-*** `delphi-tab' is gone, replaced by `indent-for-tab-command'.
+*** The Lisp debugger's `e' command now includes the lexical environment
+when evaluating the code in the context at point. Hence, it now lets
+you access lexical variables.
-** Eldoc Mode works properly in the minibuffer.
-
-** jit-lock-debug-mode lets you use the debuggers on code run via jit-lock.
++++
+*** New command `v' (`debugger-toggle-locals') displays local vars.
-** completing-read-multiple's separator can now be a regexp.
-The default separator is changed to allow surrounding spaces around the comma.
+*** New minor mode `jit-lock-debug-mode' lets you use the debuggers on
+code run via JIT Lock.
** Battery
+---
*** Battery information via the BSD `apm' utility is now supported.
** Buffer Menu
** Calendar and Diary
-*** New faces: `calendar-weekday-header', `calendar-weekend-header',
-`calendar-month-header'.
+---
+*** New faces `calendar-weekday-header', `calendar-weekend-header',
+and `calendar-month-header'.
++++
*** New option `calendar-day-header-array'.
-*** The variable `calendar-font-lock-keywords' is obsolete.
-
+++
*** New variable `diary-from-outlook-function', used by the command
`diary-from-outlook'.
-** VC and related modes
-
-*** In VC directory mode, `D' displays diffs between VC-controlled
-whole tree revisions.
-
-*** In VC directory mode, `L' lists the change log for the current VC
-controlled tree in a window.
-
-*** In VC directory mode, `I' shows a log of changes that will be
-received with a pull operation.
-
-*** `C-x v G' (globally) and `G' (in VC directory mode) ignores a file
-under current version control system. When called with a prefix
-argument, you can remove a file from the ignored file list.
-
-*** `cvs-append-to-ignore' has been renamed to `vc-cvs-append-to-ignore'
-because it is moved to vc-cvs.el.
-
-** cl-lib
-
-*** New macro cl-tagbody.
-
-+++
-*** letf is now just an alias for cl-letf.
+---
+*** The variable `calendar-font-lock-keywords' is obsolete.
** Calc
*** Support for ISO 8601 dates.
+** CEDET
+
+*** EDE
+
+**** The cpp-root project now supports executing a compile command.
+It can be set through the new :compile-command slot or the
+buffer-local variable `compile-command'.
+
+**** Better selection of include directories for the 'linux' project.
+Include directories now support out-of-tree build directories and
+target architecture auto-detection.
+
+*** Semantic
+
+**** Improved detection of used namespaces in current scope in C++.
+
+**** Parsing of default values for variables and function arguments in C/C++.
+They are also displayed by the summarize feature in the modeline.
+
+**** Improved parsing of function pointers in C/C++.
+This also includes parsing of function pointers as function arguments.
+
+**** Parsing of C/C++ preprocessor macros which open new scope.
+For example, this enables parsing of macros which open new namespaces.
+
+**** Support for 'this' pointer in inline member functions in C++.
+
+** cl-lib
+
+*** New macro `cl-tagbody'.
+
++++
+*** letf is now just an alias for cl-letf.
+
+** CUA mode
+
+*** CUA mode now uses `delete-selection-mode' and `shift-select-mode'.
+Hence, you can now enable it independently from `transient-mark-mode',
+`delete-selection-mode', and `shift-select-mode'.
+
+*** `cua-highlight-region-shift-only' is now obsolete.
+You can disable `transient-mark-mode' to get the same result.
+
+*** CUA's rectangles can now be used via `cua-rectangle-mark-mode'.
+
+** CFEngine mode
+
+*** Support for completion, ElDoc, and Flycheck has been added.
+
+*** The current CFEngine syntax is parsed from "cf-promises -s json".
+There is a fallback syntax available if you don't have cf-promises or
+if it doesn't support that option.
+
+** Delete Selection mode can now be used without `transient-mark-mode'.
+
** Desktop
-*** `desktop-auto-save-timeout' defines the number of seconds between
-auto-saves of the desktop.
+*** `desktop-auto-save-timeout' defines the number of seconds idle time
+before auto-save of the desktop.
*** `desktop-restore-frames', enabled by default, allows saving and
restoring the frame/window configuration (frameset). Additional options
*** New minor mode `dired-hide-details-mode' hides details.
-** ERC
+** Eldoc Mode works properly in the minibuffer.
-*** New option `erc-accidental-paste-threshold-seconds'.
-If set to a number, this can be used to avoid accidentally paste large
-amounts of data into the ERC input.
+** Electric Pair mode
+*** New `electric-pair-preserve-balance' enabled by default.
+
+Pairing/skipping only kicks in when that help the balance of
+parentheses and quotes, i.e. the buffer should end up at least as
+balanced as before.
+
+You can further control this behavior by adjusting the predicates
+stored in `electric-pair-inhibit-predicate' and
+`electric-pair-skip-self'.
+
+*** New `electric-pair-delete-adjacent-pairs' enabled by default.
+
+In `electric-pair-mode', the commands `backward-delete-char' and
+`backward-delete-char-untabify' are now bound to electric variants
+that delete the closer when invoked between adjacent pairs.
+
+*** New `electric-pair-open-newline-between-pairs' enabled by default.
+
+In `electric-pair-mode', inserting a newline between adjacent pairs
+opens an extra newline after point, which is indented if
+`electric-indent-mode' is also set.
+
+*** New `electric-pair-skip-whitespace' enabled by default.
+
+Controls if skipping over closing delimiters should jump over any
+whitespace slack. Setting it to `chomp' makes it delete this
+whitespace. See also the variable
+`electric-pair-skip-whitespace-chars'.
+
+*** New variables control the pairing in strings and comments.
+
+You can customize `electric-pair-text-pairs' and
+`electric-pair-text-syntax-table' to tweak pairing behavior inside
+strings and comments.
** EPA
is `foo@bar.com', ignore that name as regards encryption.
This is useful to avoid a query when you have no key for that name.
+** ERC
+
+*** New option `erc-accidental-paste-threshold-seconds'.
+If set to a number, this can be used to avoid accidentally paste large
+amounts of data into the ERC input.
+
++++
+** ERT
+
+*** New macro `skip-unless' allows skipping ERT tests.
+See the ERT manual for details.
+
+** Eshell
+
++++
+*** `eshell' now supports visual subcommands and options
+Eshell has been able to handle "visual" commands (interactive,
+non-line oriented commands such as top that require display
+capabilities not provided by eshell) by running them in an Emacs
+terminal emulator. See `eshell-visual-commands'.
+
+This feature has been extended to subcommands and options that make a
+usually line-oriented command a visual command. Typical examples are
+"git log" and "git <command> --help" which display their output in a
+pager by default. See `eshell-visual-subcommands' and
+`eshell-visual-options'.
+
---
-** New F90 mode option `f90-smart-end-names'.
+*** Added Eshell-Tramp module
+External su and sudo commands are now the default; the internal,
+Tramp-using variants can still be used by enabling the eshell-tramp
+module.
+
+** F90 mode
+---
+*** New option `f90-smart-end-names'.
** Icomplete is a bit more like Ido.
+
*** key bindings to navigate through and select the completions.
+
*** The icomplete-separator is customizable, and its default has changed.
+
*** Removed icomplete-show-key-bindings.
+
*** Icomplete-mode by defaults applies to all forms of minibuffer completion.
(setq icomplete-with-completion-tables '(internal-complete-buffer))
will revert to the old behavior.
-
-** New features for Octave mode:
-*** Font locking for texinfo comments and new keywords
-*** Completion in Octave file buffers
-*** Eldoc support
-*** Jump to definition
-*** Documentation lookup/search
-*** Code cleanup and various bug fixes
-
** Ido
+
*** Ido has a manual now.
+
*** `ido-use-virtual-buffers' takes a new value 'auto.
+
*** `ido-decorations' has been slightly extended to give a bit more control.
** Image mode
++++
*** New commands `n' (`image-next-file') and `p' (`image-previous-file')
visit the next image file and the previous image file in the same
directory, respectively.
`f' (`image-next-frame') and `b' (`image-previous-frame') visit the
next or previous frame. `F' (`image-goto-frame') shows a specific frame.
-*** New commands to speed up, slow down, or reverse animation.
+*** New commands to speed up, slow down, or reverse animation.
+---
+*** The command `image-mode-fit-frame' deletes other windows.
+When toggling, it restores the frame's previous window configuration.
+It also has an optional frame argument, which can be used by Lisp
+callers to fit the image to a frame other than the selected frame.
+
+** Hi-Lock
+
+*** New option `hi-lock-auto-select-face'. When non-nil, hi-lock commands
+will cycle through faces in `hi-lock-face-defaults' without prompting.
+
++++
+*** New global command `M-s h .' (`highlight-symbol-at-point')
+highlights the symbol found near point without prompting,
+using the next face automatically.
+
+** Imenu
+
+*** New option `imenu-generic-skip-comments-and-strings'.
+
+** Info
+---
+*** New face `info-index-match' is used to highlight matches in index
+entries displayed by `Info-index-next', `Info-virtual-index' and
+`info-apropos'.
+
+** JS Mode
+
+*** Better indentation of multiple-variable declarations.
+If declaration spans several lines, variables on the following lines
+are lined up to the first one.
+
+*** We now recognize and better indent continuations in array
+comprehensions.
+
+*** New option `js-switch-indent-offset`.
+
+** MH-E has been updated to MH-E version 8.5.
+See MH-E-NEWS for details.

+
+** OPascal mode is the new name for Delphi mode.
+
+*** All delphi-* variables and functions have been renamed to opascal-*.
+*** `delphi-newline-always-indents' is not supported any more.
+Use `electric-indent-mode' instead.
+*** `delphi-tab' is gone, replaced by `indent-for-tab-command'.
+
+** Package
+
+*** The format of `archive-contents' files, generated by package
+repositories, has changed to allow a new (fifth) element in the data
+vectors, containing an associative list with extra properties.
+
+*** `describe-package' buffer uses the `:url' extra property to
+display a `Homepage' header, if it's present.
+
+*** In the buffer produced by `describe-package', there are now buttons
+listing the keywords related to that package. You can click on them
+to see other packages related to any given keyword.
+
+*** In the *Packages* buffer, `f' or the Package->Filter menu filters
+the packages by a keyword.
+
+** Prolog mode
+
+*** `prolog-use-smie' has been removed, along with the non-SMIE
+indentation code.
+
+** Remember
+
+*** The new command `remember-notes' creates a buffer which is saved
+on `kill-emacs'.
+
+You may think of it as a *scratch* buffer whose content is preserved.
+In fact, it was designed as a replacement for *scratch* buffer and can
+be used that way by setting `initial-buffer-choice' to
+`remember-notes' and `remember-notes-buffer-name' to "*scratch*".
+Without the second change, *scratch* buffer will still be there for
+notes that do not need to be preserved.
+
+*** The Remember package can now store notes in separates files.
+You can use the new function `remember-store-in-files' within the
+`remember-handler-functions' option.
+
+See `remember-data-directory' and `remember-directory-file-name-format'
+for new options related to this function.
+
+** Rmail
+
+*** Customize `rmail-mbox-format' to influence some minor aspects of
+how Rmail displays non-MIME messages.
---
-*** The command `image-mode-fit-frame' deletes other windows.
-When toggling, it restores the frame's previous window configuration.
-It also has an optional frame argument, which can be used by Lisp
-callers to fit the image to a frame other than the selected frame.
+*** The `unrmail' command now converts from BABYL to mboxrd format,
+rather than mboxo. Customize `unrmail-mbox-format' to change this.
-** Info
+** Ruby mode
-*** New face `info-index-match' is used to highlight matches in index
-entries displayed by `Info-index-next', `Info-virtual-index' and
-`info-apropos'.
+*** New option `ruby-encoding-magic-comment-style'.
-** Hi-Lock
+*** New option `ruby-custom-encoding-magic-comment-template'.
-*** New option `hi-lock-auto-select-face'. When non-nil, hi-lock commands
-will cycle through faces in `hi-lock-face-defaults' without prompting.
+*** New mode menu.
-+++
-*** New global command `M-s h .' (`highlight-symbol-at-point')
-highlights the symbol found near point without prompting,
-using the next face automatically.
+*** Improved syntax highlighting and indentation.
+
+*** Add more Ruby file types to `auto-mode-alist'.
+
+*** New option `ruby-align-to-stmt-keywords'.
+
+*** New `electric-indent-mode' integration.
** Search and Replace
++++
*** New global command `M-s .' (`isearch-forward-symbol-at-point')
starts a symbol (identifier) incremental search forward with the
symbol found near point added to the search string initially.
++++
*** `C-x 8 RET' in Isearch mode reads a character by its Unicode name
and adds it to the search string.
*** `query-replace' skips invisible text when `search-invisible' is nil,
and opens overlays with hidden text when `search-invisible' is `open'.
++++
+*** A negative prefix arg of replacement commands replaces backward.
+`M-- M-%' replaces a string backward, `M-- C-M-%' replaces a regexp
+backward, `M-s w words M-- M-%' replaces a sequence of words backward.
+
+++
*** By default, prefix arguments do not now terminate Isearch mode.
Set `isearch-allow-prefix' to nil to restore old behavior.
++++
*** More Isearch commands accept prefix arguments, namely
`isearch-printing-char', `isearch-quote-char', `isearch-yank-word',
`isearch-yank-line'.
++++
*** Word search now matches whitespace at the beginning/end
of the search string if it contains leading/trailing whitespace.
In an incremental word search or when using a non-nil LAX argument
The same rules are now applied to the symbol search with the difference
that it matches symbols, and non-symbol characters between symbols.
-** MH-E has been updated to MH-E version 8.5.

+** SES
----
-** The unrmail command converts from BABYL to mboxrd rather than mboxo.
-Customize `unrmail-mbox-format' to change this.
+*** New command `ses-rename-cell' allows assigning names to SES cells.
+** Shell
---
-** Similarly, customize `rmail-mbox-format' to influence some minor aspects
-of how Rmail displays non-MIME messages.
+*** `explicit-bash-args' now always defaults to use --noediting.
+During initialization, Emacs no longer expends a process to decide
+whether it is safe to use Bash's --noediting option. These days
+--noediting is ubiquitous; it was introduced in 1996 in Bash version 2.
-+++
-** New function `ses-rename-cell' to give SES cells arbitrary names.
+** Shell Script mode
-** trace-function was largely rewritten.
-New features include:
-- no prompting for the destination buffer, unless a prefix-arg was used.
-- additionally to prompting for a destination buffer, when a prefix-arg is
- used, the user can enter a "context", i.e. Lisp expression whose value at the
- time the function is entered/exited will be printed along with the function
- name and arguments. Useful to trace the value of (current-buffer) or
- (point) when the function is invoked.
+*** `sh-mode' now has the mode own `add-log-current-defun-function'.
+You can pick the name of the function and the variables with `C-x 4 a'.
-** New command `delete-duplicate-lines' has new types of operation:
-When its arg ADJACENT is non-nil (when called interactively with C-u C-u)
-it works like the utility `uniq'. Otherwise by default it deletes
-duplicate lines everywhere in the region without regard to adjacency.
-When its arg KEEP-BLANKS is non-nil (when called interactively with
-C-u C-u C-u), duplicate blank lines are preserved.
+*** The SMIE indentation engine is now used by default.
-** New `cycle-spacing' command allows cycling between having just one
-space, no spaces, or reverting to the original spacing. Like
-`just-one-space' command it can handle or ignore newlines and
-leave different number of spaces.
+** SMIE indentation can be customized via `smie-config'.
+The customization can be guessed by Emacs by providing a sample indented
+file and letting SMIE learn from it.
+
+** Term mode
+
+*** New option `term-suppress-hard-newline'.
** Todo mode has been rewritten and enhanced.
New features include:
later time with the provided conversion command. The old version of
todo-mode.el has been made obsolete and renamed otodo-mode.el.
+** trace-function was largely rewritten.
+New features include:
+- no prompting for the destination buffer, unless a prefix-arg was used.
+- additionally to prompting for a destination buffer, when a prefix-arg is
+ used, the user can enter a "context", i.e. Lisp expression whose value at the
+ time the function is entered/exited will be printed along with the function
+ name and arguments. Useful to trace the value of (current-buffer) or
+ (point) when the function is invoked.

** Tramp
*** The experimental url syntax for remote file names is withdrawn.
*** Handlers for `file-notify-add-watch' and `file-notify-rm-watch'
for remote machines which support filesystem notifications.
-** VHDL mode
+** New command `url-cookie-list' displays all the current cookies, and
+allows deleting selected cookies.

+*** In VC directory mode, `D' displays diffs between VC-controlled
+whole tree revisions.
-** Woman
++++
+*** In VC directory mode, `L' lists the change log for the current VC
+controlled tree in a window.
-*** The commands `woman-default-faces' and `woman-monochrome-faces'
-are obsolete. Customize the `woman-*' faces instead.
++++
+*** In VC directory mode, `I' shows a log of changes that will be
+received with a pull operation.
-** Eshell
++++
+*** `C-x v G' (globally) and `G' (in VC directory mode) ignores a file
+under current version control system. When called with a prefix
+argument, you can remove a file from the ignored file list.
-*** Added Eshell-Tramp module
-External su and sudo commands are now the default; the internal,
-Tramp-using variants can still be used by enabling the eshell-tramp
-module.
+---
+*** `cvs-append-to-ignore' has been renamed to `vc-cvs-append-to-ignore'
+because it is moved to vc-cvs.el.

** Obsolete packages:
*** The previous version of todo-mode.el is obsolete and renamed otodo-mode.el.
-*** xesam.el.
+*** xesam.el is obsolete, because the XESAM project has been canceled.
+++
*** yow.el is obsolete; use fortune.el or cookie1.el instead.
*** The Info-edit command is obsolete. Editing Info nodes by hand
has not been relevant for some time.

* New Modes and Packages in Emacs 24.4
-** New `superword-mode' in subword.el
+** New package `eww' is a built-in web browser.
+It is only available if Emacs is compiled with libxml2 support.
+
+** New minor mode `superword-mode', defined in subword.el
`superword-mode' overrides the default word motion commands to treat
symbol_words as a single word, similar to what `subword-mode' does and
using the same internal functions.
-** New nadvice.el package offering lighter-weight advice facilities.
+** New package nadvice.el offers lighter-weight advice facilities.
It is layered as:
- add-function/remove-function which can be used to add/remove code on any
function-carrying place, such as process-filters or `<foo>-function' hooks.
- advice-add/advice-remove to add/remove a piece of advice on a named function,
much like `defadvice' does.
-** New frameset.el package.
+** New package frameset.el.
It provides a set of operations to save a frameset (the state of all
or a subset of the existing frames and windows, somewhat similar to a
frame configuration), both in-session and persistently, and restore it
at some point in the future.

* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 24.4
+---
** `kill-region' lost its `yank-handler' optional argument.
++++
** `(input-pending-p)' no longer runs other timers which are ready to
run. The new optional CHECK-TIMERS param allows for the prior behavior.
++++
** `defvar' and `defcustom' in a let-binding affect the "external" default.
+---
** The syntax of ?» and ?« is now punctuation instead of matched parens.
Some languages match those as »...« and others as «...» so better stay neutral.
+---
+** In compiled Lisp files, the header no longer includes a timestamp.
+
++++
** The default file coding for Emacs Lisp files is now utf-8.
-(See file-coding-system-alist.) In most cases, this change is transparent, but
-files that contain unusual characters without specifying an explicit coding
-system may fail to load with obscure errors.
-You should either convert them to utf-8 or add an explicit `coding:' cookie.

-** overriding-terminal-local-map does not replace the local keymaps any more.
++++
+** `overriding-terminal-local-map' no longer replaces the local keymaps.
It used to disable the minor mode, major mode, and text-property keymaps,
whereas now it simply has higher precedence.
** Default process filters and sentinels are not nil any more.
Instead they default to a function which does what the nil value used to do.
++++
** `read-event' does not return decoded chars in ttys any more.
-Just as was the case in Emacs-22 and before, decoding of tty input according to
-keyboard-coding-system is not performed in read-event any more. But contrary
-to that past, it is still done before input-decode-map/function-key-map/...

+---
+** Removed `inhibit-local-menu-bar-menus'.
-** frame-local variables that affect redisplay do not work any more.
+---
+** Frame-local variables that affect redisplay do not work any more.
More specifically, the redisplay does not bother to check for a frame-local
value when looking up variables.
-** nil and "unbound" are indistinguishable in symbol-function.
-`symbol-function' never signals `void-function' any more.
-`fboundp' returns non-nil if the symbol was `fset' to nil.
++++
+** nil and "unbound" are indistinguishable in `symbol-function'.
+`symbol-function' does not signal a `void-function' error any more.
+To determine if a symbol's function definition is void, use `fboundp'.
++++
** `defadvice' does not honor the `freeze' flag and cannot advise
special-forms any more.
-** `dolist' in lexical-binding mode does not bind VAR in RESULT any more.
-VAR was bound to nil which was not tremendously useful and just lead to
-spurious warnings about an unused var.
+---
+** `dolist' no longer binds VAR while evaluating the RESULT form,
+when lexical binding is enabled. Previously, VAR was bound to nil,
+which often led to spurious unused-variable warnings.
++++
** The return value of `backup-buffer' has changed.
The second argument is no longer an SELinux context, instead it is an
alist of extended attributes as returned by the new function
`file-extended-attributes'. The attributes can be applied to another
file using `set-file-extended-attributes'.
++++
+** By default `copy-file' no longer copies file permission bits to an
+existing destination; and it sets the file permission bits of a newly
+created destination to those of the source, masked by the default file
+permissions. To copy the file permission bits, pass t as the
+PRESERVE-PERMISSIONS argument of `copy-file'.
+
++++
** `visited-file-modtime' now returns -1 for nonexistent files.
Formerly it returned a list (-1 LOW USEC PSEC), but this was ambiguous
in the presence of files with negative time stamps.
-** The cars of the elements in `interpreter-mode-alist' are now treated
-as regexps rather than literal strings. Technically this is an
-incompatible change, but unless you are using interpreter-mode-alist
-for something (not just adding elements to it), it ought not to affect you.

-** New hook `pre-redisplay-function'.
++++
+** New functions `special-form-p' and `macrop'.
+
+** New macro `define-alternatives' can be used to define generic commands.
+Generic commands are interactive functions whose implementation can be
+selected among several alternatives, as a matter of user preference.
+
+** The `defalias-fset-function' property lets you catch `defalias'
+calls, and redirect them to your own function, instead of `fset'.
+++
-** Functions that pop up menus and dialogs now work on all terminal types,
-including TTYs.
-This includes `x-popup-menu', `x-popup-dialog', `message-box',
-`yes-or-no-p', etc.
+** New variable `enable-dir-local-variables'.
+Directory-local variables are ignored if this is nil. This may be
+useful for modes that want to ignore directory-locals while still
+respecting file-local variables.
+
++++
+** New function `get-pos-property'.
+
+** Completion changes
+
+*** The separator for `completing-read-multiple' can now be a regexp.
+The default separator has been changed to allow surrounding spaces
+around the comma.
+
+*** The `common-substring' arg of `display-completion-list' is obsolete.
+Either use `completion-all-completions', which returns highlighted
+strings (including for partial or substring completion), or call
+`completion-hilit-commonality' to add the highlight.
+
+** New minor modes `prettify-symbols-mode' and `global-prettify-symbols-mode'
+let you enable symbol prettification (replacing a string like "lambda" with
+the Greek lambda character).
+
+** Terminal changes
+
++++
+*** Functions to pop up menus and dialogs now work on all terminals,
+including TTYs. This includes `x-popup-menu', `x-popup-dialog',
+`message-box', `yes-or-no-p', etc.
The function `display-popup-menus-p' will now return non-nil for a
display or frame whenever a mouse is supported on that display or
frame.
+*** New hook `tty-setup-hook'.
+
+** Window Handling
+
+*** New display action function `display-buffer-no-window' to not
+display the buffer in a window.
+
+*** New display action alist entry `allow-no-window' to indicate the
+caller of `display-buffer' is ready to handle the case of not
+displaying the buffer in a window.

*** `bool-vector-union'
*** `bool-vector-count-consecutive'
*** `bool-vector-count-population'

The few hooks that used with-wrapper-hook are replaced as follows:
*** `completion-in-region-function' obsoletes `completion-in-region-functions'.
*** `filter-buffer-substring-function' obsoletes `filter-buffer-substring-functions'.
++++
** `byte-compile-interactive-only-functions' is now obsolete.
-It has been replaced by the symbol property 'interactive-only.
+To specify that a command should only be called interactively, give it
+a non-nil `interactive-only' property.
++++
** `split-string' now takes an optional argument TRIM.
The value, if non-nil, is a regexp that specifies what to trim from
the start and end of each substring.
** New function `string-suffix-p'.
-** `get-upcase-table' is obsoleted by the new `case-table-get-table'.
+** File-handling changes
-** Support for filesystem notifications.
++++
+*** Support for filesystem notifications.
Emacs now supports notifications of filesystem changes, such as
creation, modification, and deletion of files. This requires the
`glib' API, or the 'inotify' API (on GNU/Linux systems only). On
MS-Windows systems, this is supported for Windows XP and newer
versions.
++++
+*** The 9th element returned by `file-attributes' is now unspecified.
+Formerly, it was t if the file's gid would change if file were deleted
+and recreated. This value has been inaccurate for years on many
+platforms, and nobody seems to have noticed or cared.
+
++++
+*** The 6th argument to `copy-file' has been renamed to
+PRESERVE-PERMISSIONS as it now handles ACL entries and the traditional
+Unix file permission bits as well as SELinux context.
+
++++
+*** The function `file-ownership-preserved-p' now has an optional
+argument GROUP which causes it check for file group too. This can be
+used in place of the 9th element of `file-attributes'.
+
+---
+*** The function `set-visited-file-modtime' now accepts a 0 or -1
+argument, with the same interpretation as the returned value of
+`visited-file-modtime'.
+
** Changes in autorevert.el
---
** Face changes
-*** The function `face-spec-set' is now analogous to `setq' for face specs.
-Its third arg now accepts values specifying exactly which face spec to
-set (defface, custom, or user spec), and it directly sets the relevant
-property using the supplied face spec.
+*** The function `face-spec-set' is now like `setq' for face specs.
+Its third arg now accepts values specifying a face spec type (defface,

+*** New function `add-face-text-property', which can be used to
+conveniently prepend/append new face properties.
*** Face specs set via Custom themes now replace the `defface' spec
rather than inheriting from it (as do face specs set via Customize).
*** New face characteristic (supports :underline (:style wave))
specifies whether or not the terminal can display a wavy line.
++++
*** New face spec attribute :distant-foreground
specifies foreground to use if background color is near the foreground
color that would otherwise have been used.
whether or not it specifies a frame delay.
+++
-*** When animating images that do not specify a frame delay,
-Emacs uses `image-default-frame-delay'.
+*** New variable `image-default-frame-delay' gives the frame delay for
+animated images which do not specify a frame delay.
+++
*** New functions `image-current-frame' and `image-show-frame' for getting
and setting the current frame of a multi-frame image.
-*** You can change the speed of animated images.

** Changes in encoding and decoding of text
`:coding-type' attribute and can be accessed by calling the
`coding-system-type' function.)
-** The function `set-visited-file-modtime' now accepts a 0 or -1 argument
-with the same interpretation as the returned value of `visited-file-modtime'.
-
-** time-to-seconds is not obsolete any more.
-** New functions special-form-p and macrop.
-** Docstrings can be made dynamic by adding a `dynamic-docstring-function'
-text-property on the first char.

-and redirect them to your own function instead of `fset'.
+** `time-to-seconds' is not obsolete any more.
** The lock for 'DIR/FILE' is now 'DIR/.#FILE' and may be a regular file.
When you edit DIR/FILE, Emacs normally creates a symbolic link
On file systems that do not support symbolic links, the lock is now a
regular file with contents being what would have been in the symlink.
-** The 9th element returned by `file-attributes' is now unspecified.
-Formerly, it was t if the file's gid would change if file were deleted
