** The configure option `--with-pkg-config-prog' has been removed.
Use './configure PKG_CONFIG=/full/name/of/pkg-config' if you need to.
+** The configure option '--enable-silent-rules' and the command
+'make V=0' now do a better job of suppressing chatter.

* Startup Changes in Emacs 24.5
hiding character but the default `.' can be used by let-binding the
variable `read-hide-char'.
+** The new functions `string-collate-lessp' and `string-collate-equalp'
+preserve the collation order as defined by the system's locale(1)
+environment. For the time being this is implemented for modern POSIX
+systems and for MS-Windows, for other systems they fall back to their
+counterparts `string-lessp' and `string-equal'.
+
+*** The ls-lisp package uses `string-collate-lessp' to sort file names.
+If you want the old, locale-independent sorting, customize the new
+option `ls-lisp-use-string-collate' to a nil value.
+
+*** The MS-Windows specific variable `w32-collate-ignore-punctuation',
+if set to a non-nil value, causes the above 2 functions to ignore
+symbol and punctuation characters when collating strings. This
+emulates the behavior of modern Posix platforms when the locale's
+codeset is "UTF-8" (as in "en_US.UTF-8"). This is needed because
+MS-Windows doesn't support UTF-8 as codeset in its locales.

* Editing Changes in Emacs 24.5
*** C-x C-x in rectangle-mark-mode now cycles through the four corners.
*** `string-rectangle' provides on-the-fly preview of the result.
++++
+** Macro `pcase' now supports vector qpattern.
+
** New font-lock functions font-lock-ensure and font-lock-flush, which
should be used instead of font-lock-fontify-buffer when called from Elisp.
+** Macro `minibuffer-with-setup-hook' takes (:append FUN) to mean
+appending FUN to `minibuffer-setup-hook'.
+
** Calendar and diary
+++
*** New custom variable `hide-ifdef-exclude-define-regexp' to define symbol
name patterns (e.x. all "FOR_DOXYGEN_ONLY_*") to be excluded.
+** TeX mode
+
+*** New custom variable `tex-print-file-extension' to help users who
+use PDF instead of DVI.
+
** Obsolete packages

* Lisp Changes in Emacs 24.5
+*** call-process-shell-command and process-file-shell-command
+don't take "&rest args" an more.
+
** New function `funcall-interactively', which works like `funcall'
but makes `called-interactively-p' treat the function as (you guessed it)
called interactively.
** Functions `rmail-delete-forward' and `rmail-delete-backward' take an
optional repeat-count argument.
+** Function `sort' can deal with vectors.
+

** New utilities in subr-x.el:
*** New macros `if-let' and `when-let' allow defining bindings and to
as the first or last argument of subsequent forms.

+* Changes in Frames and Windows Code in Emacs 24.5
+
+** Emacs can now draw horizontal scroll bars on some platforms that
+provide toolkit scroll bars, namely Gtk, Lucid, Motif and Windows.
+Horizontal scroll bars are turned off by default.
+*** New function `horizontal-scroll-bars-available-p' telling whether
+ horizontal scroll bars are available on the underlying system.
+*** New mode `horizontal-scroll-bar-mode' to toggle horizontal scroll
+ bars on all existing and future frames.
+*** New frame parameters `horizontal-scroll-bars' and
+ `scroll-bar-height' to set horizontal scroll bars and their height
+ for individual frames and in `default-frame-alist'.
+*** New function `frame-scroll-bar-height' to return the height of
+ horizontal scroll bars on a specific frame.
+*** `set-window-scroll-bars' now accepts five parameters where the last
+ two specify height and type of the window's horizontal scroll bar.
+
+** The height of a frame's menu and tool bar are no more counted in the
+frame's text height. This means that the text height stands only for
+the height of the frame's root window plus that of the echo area (if
+present). This was already the behavior for frames with external tool
+and menu bars (like in the Gtk builds) but has now been extended to all
+builds.
+
+** Frames now do not necessarily preserve the number of columns or lines
+they display when setting default font, menu bar, fringe width, or
+scroll bars. In particular, maximized and fullscreen frames are
+conceptually never resized if such settings change. For fullheight and
+fullwidth frames, the behavior may depend on the toolkit used.
+*** New option `frame-inhibit-implied-resize' if non-nil, means that
+ setting default font, menu bar, fringe width, or scroll bars of a
+ specific frame does not resize that frame in order to preserve the
+ number of columns or lines it displays.
