  * Changes in Emacs 21.4
  
+ +++
+ ** Help mode now only makes hyperlinks for faces when the face name is
+ preceded or followed by the word `face'.  It no longer makes
+ hyperlinks for variables without variable documentation, unless
+ preceded by one of the words `variable' or `option'.
+ 
  ** The max size of buffers and integers has been doubled.
  On 32bit machines, it is now 256M (i.e. 268435455).

  ** The new Lisp library fringe.el controls the apperance of fringes.
+ 
+ ** `cfengine-mode' is a major mode for editing GNU Cfengine
+ configuration files.
  
  * Lisp Changes in Emacs 21.4
  
+ +++
+ ** `split-string' now includes null substrings in the returned list if
+ the optional argument SEPARATORS is non-nil and there are matches for
+ SEPARATORS at the beginning or end of the string.  If SEPARATORS is
+ nil, or if the new optional third argument OMIT-NULLS is non-nil, all
+ empty matches are omitted from the returned list.
+ 
+ +++
+ ** `makehash' is now obsolete.  Use `make-hash-table' instead.
+ 
+ +++
+ ** If optional third argument APPEND to `add-to-list' is non-nil, a
+ new element gets added at the end of the list instead of at the
+ beginning.  This change actually occurred in Emacs-21.1, but was not
+ documented.
+ 
  ** Major modes can define `eldoc-print-current-symbol-info-function'
  locally to provide Eldoc functionality by some method appropriate to
  the language.

--- 2589,2595 ----
  ** Indentation of backquoted forms has been made customizable in the
  cl-indent package.  See the new user option `lisp-backquote-indentation'.
  
+ +++
  ** Already true in Emacs 21.1, but not emphasized clearly enough:
  
  Multibyte buffers can now faithfully record all 256 character codes

  3. For binary files where format conversion would be pointless and
  wasteful.
  
+ +++
  ** If text has a `keymap' property, that keymap takes precedence
  over minor mode keymaps.
  
+ +++
  ** A hex escape in a string forces the string to be multibyte.
  An octal escape makes it unibyte.
  
+ +++
  ** At the end of a command, point moves out from within invisible
  text, in the same way it moves out from within text covered by an
  image or composition property.

  (including `goto-char', ...) whereas this new code is only run after
  post-command-hook and thus does not care about intermediate states.
  
- ** Only one of the beginning or end of an invisible, intangible region is
- considered an acceptable value for point; which one is determined by
- examining how the invisible/intangible properties are inherited when new
- text is inserted adjacent to them.  (The `front-sticky' and `rear-sticky'
- properties control this.)
- 
- If the invisible/intangible would be inherited by any text inserted
- before this region, then the position before it is considered
- unacceptable, and point is forced to continue (if moving forwards, to
- the position following the invisible/intangible text; if moving
- backwards, to one position before).  If the properties would be
- inherited by any text inserted after, then the position after is
- considered unacceptable, and point is forced to keep moving (if moving
- backwards, to the position preceding the invisible/intangible text; if
- moving forwards, to one position later).
- 
- Thus, point can only go to one end of an invisible, intangible region, but
- not the other one.  This prevents C-f and C-b from appearing to stand still
- on the screen.
- 
- You should not set it up so that both the position before and the position
- after are unacceptable.

  ** field-beginning and field-end now accept an additional optional
  argument, LIMIT.

  GDB. You can interact with GDB through the GUD buffer in the usual way, but
  there are also further buffers which control the execution and describe the
  state of your program.  It separates the input/output of your program from
! that of GDB and displays expressions and their current values in their own
! buffers.  It also uses features of Emacs 21 such as the display margin for
! breakpoints, and the toolbar.
  
  Use M-x gdba to start GDB-UI.
