  change group you start for any given buffer should be the last one
  finished.
  
! ** You can now use non-blocking connect to open network streams.
  
! The function open-network-stream has a new optional 7th argument.
! If non-nil, that function will initiate a non-blocking connect and
! return immediately before the connection is established.
! 
! It returns nil if the system does not support non-blocking connects;
! the caller may then make a normal (blocking) open-network-stream.
! 
! The filter and sentinel functions can now be specified as arguments
! to open-network-stream.  When the non-blocking connect completes, the
! sentinel is called with the status matching "open" or "failed".
  
  ** New function substring-no-properties.

  change group you start for any given buffer should be the last one
  finished.
  
! ** Enhanced networking support.
  
! *** There is a new `make-network-process' function which supports
! opening of stream and datagram connections to a server, as well as
! create a stream or datagram server inside emacs.
! 
! - A server is started using :server t arg.
! - Datagram connection is selected using :datagram t arg.
! - A server can open on a random port using :service t arg.
! - Local sockets are supported using :family 'local arg.
! - Non-blocking connect is supported using :nowait t arg.
! 
! *** Original open-network-stream is now emulated using make-network-process.
! 
! *** New function open-network-stream-nowait.
! 
! This function initiates a non-blocking connect and returns immediately
! before the connection is established.  The filter and sentinel
! functions can be specified as arguments to open-network-stream-nowait.
! When the non-blocking connect completes, the sentinel is called with
! the status matching "open" or "failed".
! 
! *** New function open-network-stream-server.
! 
! *** New functions process-datagram-address and set-process-datagram-address.
! 
! *** By default, the function process-contact still returns (HOST SERVICE)
! for a network process.  Using the new optional KEY arg, the complete list
! of network process properties or a specific property can be selected.
! 
! Using :local and :remote as the KEY, the address of the local or
! remote end-point is returned.  An Inet address is represented as a 5
! element vector, where the first 4 elements contain the IP address and
! the fifth is the port number.
! 
! *** Network processes can now be stopped and restarted with
! `stop-process' and `continue-process'.  For a server process, no
! connections are accepted in the stopped state.  For a client process,
! no input is received in the stopped state.
! 
! *** Function list-processes now has an optional argument; if non-nil,
! only the processes whose query-on-exit flag is set are listed.
! 
! *** New set-process-query-on-exit-flag and process-query-on-exit-flag
! functions.  The existing process-kill-without-query function is still
! supported, but new code should use the new functions.
  
  ** New function substring-no-properties.
