I wrote the following text in the Emacs FAQ (C-h C-f). Improvements
welcome.
| 4.5 What is different about Emacs 22?
| =====================================
|
| Font Lock mode, auto-compression mode, and file name shadow mode are now
| enabled by default. On graphics displays it is now possible to follow
| links with `mouse-1', and the modeline of the selected window is now
| highlighted. Window fringes are now customizable. The minibuffer
| prompt is now displayed in a distinct face.
|
| Emacs now reads abbrev definitions automatically at startup. The
| maximum size of buffers has been doubled and is now 256M on 32-bit
| machines. Grep mode is now separate from Compilation mode and has many
| new specific options and commands.
|
| The original Emacs macro system has been replaced by the new Kmacro
| package, which provides many new commands and features and a simple
| interface that uses the function keys F3 and F4. Macros are now stored
| in a macro ring, and can be debugged and edited interactively.
|
| The GUD (Grand Unified Debugger) package can now be used with a full
| graphical user interface to the debugger which provides many features
| found in traditional development environments, making it easy to
| manipulate breakpoints, add watch points, display the call stack, etc.
| Breakpoints are now displayed in the source buffer.
|
| Emacs can now be built with GTK+ widgets, and supports drag-and-drop
| operation on X. Mouse wheel support is now enabled by default.
|
| Many new modes and packages have been included in Emacs, such as
| Calc, Tramp and URL, as well as IDO, CUA, rcirc, ERC, conf-mode,
| python-mode, table, tumme, SES, ruler, Flymake, Org, PGG, wdired,
| t-mouse, longlines, dns-mode, savehist, Password, Printing, Reveal, etc.
|
| Leim is now part of Emacs. Unicode support has been much improved,
| and the following input methods have been added: 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.
|
| The following language environment have also been added: 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.
|
| Emacs 22 features support for GNU/Linux systems on S390 and x86-64
| machines, as well as support for the Mac OS X and Cygwin operating
| systems.
|
| In addition, Emacs 22 now includes the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual
| (*note Emacs Lisp documentation::) and the Emacs Lisp Intro.
|
| Many other changes have been made in Emacs 22, use `C-h n' to get a
| full list.
