-Calling a minor mode function from Lisp with a nil or omitted argument
+Calling a minor mode function from Lisp with a @code{nil} or omitted argument
does not enable the minor mode unconditionally; instead, it toggles
the minor mode---which is the straightforward thing to do, since that
is the behavior when invoked interactively. One downside is that it
Internal windows are no longer visible to Lisp; functions such as
@code{window-parent}, window parameters related to window arrangement,
and window-local buffer lists have all been removed. Functions for
-resizing windows can delete windows if when they become too small.

+The ``action function'' feature for controlling buffer display has
been removed, including @code{display-buffer-overriding-action} and
related variables, as well as the @var{action} argument to
@code{display-buffer} and other functions. The way to
programmatically control how Emacs chooses a window to display a
-buffer is to bind the right combination of
-@code{special-display-regexps}, @code{pop-up-frames}, and other
-variables.

The standard completion interface has been simplified, eliminating the
@code{completion-extra-properties} variable, the @code{metadata}
action flag for completion functions, and the concept of
-@dfn{completion categories}. Lisp programmers may now find the choice

of methods for tuning completion less bewildering, but if a package
finds the streamlined interface insufficient for its needs, it must
implement its own specialized completion feature.
The @var{cache} entry is used internally by Emacs to record equivalent
keyboard key sequences for invoking the same command; Lisp programs
should never use it.

-The @code{open-network-stream} function has been removed, and so has

Tool bars can no longer display separators, which frees up several
pixels of space on each graphical frame.
