For those users who live backwards in time, here is information about
-downgrading to Emacs version 19. We hope you will enjoy the greater
-simplicity that results from the absence of certain Emacs 20 features.
+downgrading to Emacs version 21.4. We hope you will enjoy the greater
+simplicity that results from the absence of many Emacs 22 features.
@itemize @bullet
+
@item
-The multibyte character and end-of-line conversion support have been
-eliminated entirely. (Some users consider this a tremendous
-improvement.) Character codes are limited to the range 0 through 255
-and files imported onto Unix-like systems may have a ^M at the end of
-each line to remind you to control MS-DOG type files.
+The buffer position and line number are now displayed at the end of
+the mode line, where they can be more easily seen.
@item
-Fontsets, coding systems and input methods have been eliminated as well.
+The mode line of the selected window is no longer displayed with a
+special face. All mode lines are created equal.
@item
-The mode line normally displays the string @samp{Emacs}, in case you
-forget what editor you are using.
+Clicking on a link with the left mouse button (@kbd{mouse-1}) will
+always set point at the position clicked, instead of following the
+link. If you want to follow the link, use the middle mouse button
+(@kbd{mouse-2}).
@item
-Scroll bars always appear on the right-hand side of the window.
-This clearly separates them from the text in the window.
+Emacs is tired of X droppings. If you drop a file or a piece of text
+onto an Emacs window, nothing will happen.
@item
-The @kbd{M-x customize} feature has been replaced with a very simple
-feature, @kbd{M-x edit-options}. This shows you @emph{all} the user
-options right from the start, so you don't have to hunt for the ones you
-want. It also provides a few commands, such as @kbd{s} and @kbd{x}, to
-set a user option.
+On an xterm, Emacs provides a more convincing simulation of a text
+terminal by not responding to mouse-clicks on the mode-line,
+header-line, or display margin.
@item
-The @key{DELETE} key does nothing special in Emacs 19 when you use it
-after selecting a region with the mouse. It does exactly the same thing
-in that situation as it does at all other times: delete one character
-backwards.
+For simplicity, windows always have fringes. We wouldn't want to
+in-fringe anyone's windows. Likewise, horizontal scrolling always
+works in the same automatic way.
@item
-@kbd{C-x C-w} no longer changes the major mode according to the new file
-name. If you want to change the mode, use @kbd{M-x normal-mode}.
+The horizontal-bar cursor shape has been removed.
@item
-In Transient Mark mode, each window displays highlighting for the region
-as it exists in that window.
+If command line arguments are given, Emacs will not display a splash
+screen, so that you can immediately get on with your editing. The
+command-line option @samp{--no-splash} is therefore obsolete, and has
+been removed.
@item
-Outline mode doesn't use overlay properties; instead, it hides a line by
-converting the preceding newline into code 015. Magically, however, if
-you save the file, the 015 character appears in the file as a newline.
+The command line options @samp{--color}, @samp{--fullwidth},
+@samp{--fullheight}, @samp{--fullscreen}, @samp{--no-blinking-cursor},
+@samp{--no-desktop}, and @samp{-Q} have also been removed.
@item
-There is now a clever way you can activate the minibuffer recursively
-even if @code{enable-recursive-minibuffers} is @code{nil}. All you have
-to do is @emph{switch windows} to a non-minibuffer window, and then use a
-minibuffer command. You can pile up any number of minibuffer levels
-this way, but @kbd{M-x top-level} will get you out of all of them.
+The @samp{--geometry} option applies only to the initial frame, and
+the @samp{-f} option will not read arguments for interactive
+functions.
@item
-We have removed the limit on the length of minibuffer history lists;
-they now contain all the minibuffer arguments you have used since the
-beginning of the session.
+Emacs now looks for @file{.emacs} and @file{.emacs_SHELL} in one
+standard location---your home directory. Don't put these files in
+@file{~/.emacs.d}; they won't be found.
@item
-Dynamic abbrev expansion now handles case conversion in a very simple
-and straightforward way. If you have requested preserving case, it
-always converts the entire expansion to the case pattern of the abbrev
-that you have typed in.
+Emacs will not read @file{~/.abbrev_defs} automatically. If you want
+to load abbrev definitions from a file, you must always do so
+explicitly.
@item
-The @code{compose-mail} command does not exist; @kbd{C-x m} now
-runs @code{mail} directly.
+When you are logged in as root, all files now give you writable
+buffers, reflecting the fact that you can write any files.
@item
-There is no way to quote a file name with special characters in it.
-What you see is what you get: if the name looks remote, it is remote.
+The maximum size of buffers and integer variables has been halved. On
+32-bit machines, the maximum buffer size is now 128 megabytes.
@item
-@kbd{M-x grep-find} has been eliminated, because @code{grep} has never
-been lost.
+An unquoted @samp{$} in a file name is now an error, if the following
+name is not recognized as an environment variable. Thus,
+the file name @file{foo$bar} would probably be an error. Meanwhile,
+the @code{setenv} command does not expand @samp{$} at all.
-@ignore
@item
-Truth in advertising: @kbd{M-x grep} by default uses @code{grep}, the
-whole @code{grep}, and nothing but the @code{grep}. If you want it to
-use @code{zgrep}, you'll have to edit the search command by hand.
-@end ignore
+Emacs will not query you if a command accumulates too much undo
+information. If Emacs runs out of memory as a result, it will handle
+this by crashing.
@item
-Some Dired commands have been rearranged: two-character sequences
-have been replaced with quick single-character commands:
+Many commands have been removed from the menus or rearranged.
+
+@item
+The @kbd{C-h} (help) subcommands have been rearranged---especially
+those that display specific files. Type @kbd{C-h C-h} to see a list
+of these commands; that will show you what is different.
+
+@item
+The @kbd{C-h v} and @kbd{C-h f} commands no longer show a hyperlink to
+the C source code, even if it is available. If you want to find the
+source code, grep for it.
-@itemize @bullet
@item
-For @code{dired-mark-executables}, type @kbd{*}.
+The apropos commands will not accept a list of words to match, in
+order to encourage users to be more specific. Also, the user option
+@code{apropos-sort-by-scores} has been removed.
+
@item
-For @code{dired-mark-directories}, type @kbd{/}.
+The minibuffer prompt is now displayed using the default face.
+The colon is enough to show you what part is the prompt.
+
@item
-For @code{dired-mark-symlinks}, type @kbd{@@}.
+Minibuffer completion commands always complete the entire minibuffer
+contents, just as if you had typed them at the end of the minibuffer,
+no matter where point is actually located.
+
@item
-For @code{dired-change-marks}, type @kbd{c}.
+The command @code{backward-kill-sexp} is now bound to @kbd{C-M-delete}
+and @kbd{C-M-backspace}. Be careful when using these key sequences!
+It may shut down your X server, or reboot your operating system.
+
@item
-For @code{dired-unmark-all-files}, type @kbd{C-M-?}.
+Commands to set the mark at a place away from point, including
+@kbd{M-@@}, @kbd{M-h}, etc., don't do anything special when you repeat
+them. In most cases, typing these commands multiple times is
+equivalent to typing them once. @kbd{M-h} ignores numeric arguments.
+
@item
-For @code{dired-unmark-all-marks}, type @kbd{C-M-? @key{RET}}.
-@end itemize
+If you want to repeat a jump to a previous mark, you should supply the
+prefix argument explicitly. So, instead of typing @kbd{C-u C-SPC
+C-SPC C-SPC}, type @kbd{C-u C-SPC C-u C-SPC C-u C-SPC}.
-But if you want to use @code{dired-flag-garbage-files}, @kbd{&}, you'll
-just have to stop living in the past.
+@item
+@kbd{C-@key{SPC} C-@key{SPC}} has no special meaning--it just sets the
+mark twice. Neither does @kbd{C-u C-x C-x}, which simply exchanges
+point and mark like @kbd{C-x C-x}.
+
+@item
+The function @code{sentence-end} has been eliminated in favor of a
+more straightforward approach: directly setting the variable
+@code{sentence-end}. For example, to end each sentence with a single
+space, use
+
+@lisp
+(setq sentence-end "[.?!][]\"')@}]*\\($\\|[ \t]\\)[ \t\n]*")
+@end lisp
+
+@item
+The variable @code{fill-nobreak-predicate} is no longer customizable,
+and it can only hold a single function.
+
+@item
+Non-breaking spaces and hyphens are displayed just like normal
+characters. The user option @code{show-nonbreak-escape} is therefore
+obsolete, and has been removed.
-@item
-In C mode, you can now specify your preferred style for block comments.
-If you want to use the style
+@item
+@kbd{C-w} in an incremental search always grabs an entire word
+into the search string. More precisely, it grabs text through
+the next end of a word.
-@example
-/*
-blah
-blah
-*/
-@end example
+@item
+Yanking now preserves all text properties that were in the killed
+text. The variable @code{yank-excluded-properties} has been removed.
-@noindent
-then you should set the variable @code{c-block-comments-indent-p} to
-@code{t}.
+@item
+Occur mode, Info mode, and Comint-derived modes now control
+fontification in their own way, and @kbd{M-x font-lock-mode} has
+nothing to do with it. To control fontification in Info mode, use the
+variable @code{Info-fontify}.
@item
-To customize faces used by Font Lock mode, use the variable
-@code{font-lock-face-attributes}. See its documentation string for
-details.
+The Grep package has been merged with Compilation mode. Many
+grep-specific commands and user options have thus been eliminated.
+Also, @kbd{M-x grep} never tries the GNU grep @samp{-H} option,
+and instead silently appends @file{/dev/null} to the command line.
@item
-For efficiency, Font Lock mode now uses by default the minimum supported
-level of decoration for the selected major mode.
+In Dired's @kbd{!} command, @samp{*} and @samp{?} now
+cause substitution of the file names wherever they appear---not
+only when they are surrounded by whitespace.
+
+@item
+When a file is managed with version control, the command @kbd{C-x C-q}
+(whose general meaning is to make a buffer read-only or writable) now
+does so by checking the file in or out. Checking the file out makes
+the buffer writable; checking it in makes the buffer read-only.
+
+You can still use @kbd{C-x v v} to do these operations if you wish;
+its meaning is unchanged. If you want to control the buffer's
+read-only flag without performing any version control operation,
+use @kbd{M-x toggle-read-only}.
@item
-If you kill a buffer, any registers holding saved positions in that
-buffer are changed to point into limbo.
+SGML mode does not handle XML syntax, and does not have indentation
+support.
@item
-The function @code{set-frame-font} has been renamed to
-@code{set-default-font}.
+Many Info mode commands have been removed. Incremental search in Info
+searches only the current node.
@item
-The variable @code{tex-main-file} doesn't exist. Of course, you can
-create the variable by setting it, but that won't do anything special.
+Many @code{etags} features for customizing parsing using regexps
+have been removed.
@item
-The @code{scroll-preserve-screen-position} variable has been eliminated;
-and so has the feature that it controls.
+The Emacs server now runs a small C program called @file{emacsserver},
+rather than trying to handle everything in Emacs Lisp. Now there can
+only be one Emacs server running at a time. The @code{server-mode}
+command and @code{server-name} user option have been eliminated.
@item
-We have eliminated the functions @code{add-untranslated-filesystem} and
-@code{remove-untranslated-filesystem}, and replaced them with a simpler
-function, @code{using-unix-filesystems}.
+The @file{emacsclient} program no longer accepts the @samp{--eval} and
+@samp{--display} command line options.
@item
-To keep up with decreasing computer memory capacity, many other
-functions and files have been eliminated in Emacs 19. There's no need
-to mention them all here. If you try to use one of them, you'll get an
-error message to tell you that it is undefined or unbound.
+The command @code{quail-show-key}, for showing how to input a
+character, has been removed.
+
+@item
+The default value of @code{keyboard-coding-system} is always
+@code{nil}, regardless of your locale settings. If you want some
+other value, set it yourself.
+
+@item
+Unicode support and unification between Latin-@var{n} character sets
+have been removed. Cutting and pasting X selections does not support
+``extended segments'', so there are certain coding systems it cannot
+handle.
+
+@item
+The input methods for Emacs are included in a separate distribution
+called ``Leim''. To use this, you must extract the Leim tar file on
+top of the Emacs distribution, into the same directory, before you
+build Emacs.
+
+@item
+The following input methods have been eliminated: belarusian,
+bulgarian-bds, bulgarian-phonetic, chinese-sisheng, croatian, dutch,
+georgian, latin-alt-postfix, latin-postfix, latin-prefix,
+latvian-keyboard, lithuanian-numeric, lithuanian-keyboard,
+malayalam-inscript, rfc1345, russian-computer, sgml, slovenian,
+tamil-inscript ucs, ukrainian-computer, vietnamese-telex, and welsh.
+
+@item
+The following language environments have been eliminated: Belarusian,
+Bulgarian, Chinese-EUC-TW, Croatian, French, Georgian, Italian,
+Latin-6, Latin-7, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malayalam, Russian, Russian,
+Slovenian, Swedish, Tajik, Tamil, UTF-8, Ukrainian, Ukrainian, Welsh,
+and Windows-1255.
+
+@item
+The @code{code-pages} library, which contained various 8-bit coding
+systems, has been removed.
+
+@item
+The Kmacro package has been replaced with a simple and elegant
+keyboard macro system. Use @kbd{C-x (} to start a new keyboard macro,
+@kbd{C-x )} to end the macro, and @kbd{C-x e} to execute the last
+macro.
+
+@item
+The Calc, CUA, GDB-UI, Ibuffer, Ido, Password, Printing, Reveal,
+Ruler-mode, SES, Table, Tramp, and URL packages have been removed.
+The Benchmark, Cfengine, Conf, Dns, Flymake, Python, Thumbs, and
+Wdired modes have also been removed.
+
+@item
+The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual and the Introduction to Programming in
+Emacs Lisp are now distributed separately, not in the Emacs
+distribution.
+
+@item
+On MS Windows, there is no longer any support for tooltips, images,
+sound, different mouse pointer shapes, or pointing devices with more
+than 3 buttons. If you want these features, consider switching to
+another operating system. But even if you don't want these features,
+you should still switch---for freedom's sake.
+
+@item
+Emacs will not use Unicode for clipboard operations on MS Windows.
+
+@item
+To keep up with decreasing computer memory capacity and disk space, many
+other functions and files have been eliminated in Emacs 21.4.
