  * Changes in Emacs 21.4
  
+ ** Passing resources on the command line now works on MS Windows.
+ You can use --xrm to pass resource settings to Emacs, overriding any
+ existing values.  For example:
+ 
+   emacs --xrm "Emacs.Background:red" --xrm "Emacs.Geometry:100x20"
+ 
+ will start up Emacs on an initial frame of 100x20 with red background,
+ irrespective of geometry or background setting on the Windows registry.
+ 
  ** New features in evaluation commands
  
+ +++
  *** The function `eval-defun' (C-M-x) called on defface reinitializes
  the face to the value specified in the defface expression.

  ** New command `kill-whole-line' kills an entire line at once.
  By default, it is bound to C-S-<backspace>.
  
  ** Dired mode:
  
  *** New faces dired-header, dired-mark, dired-marked, dired-flagged,
  dired-ignored, dired-directory, dired-symlink, dired-warning
  introduced for Dired mode instead of font-lock faces.
  
! *** New Dired command `dired-compare-directories' to mark files with
! different file attributes in two dired buffers.
  
  +++
  *** In Dired's ! command (dired-do-shell-command), `*' and `?' now

  ** New command `kill-whole-line' kills an entire line at once.
  By default, it is bound to C-S-<backspace>.
  
+ ** New commands to operate on pairs of open and close characters:
+ `insert-pair', `delete-pair', `raise-sexp'.
+ 
+ ** A prefix argument of C-M-q in Emacs Lisp mode pretty-printifies the
+ list starting after point.

  ** Info mode:
  +++
  *** Info now hides node names in menus and cross references by default.
  If you prefer the old behavior, you can set the new user option
  `Info-hide-note-references' to nil.
  
- *** The new command `info-apropos' searches the indices of the known
- Info files on your system for a string, and builds a menu of the
- possible matches.
- 
  *** Images in Info pages are supported.
  Info pages show embedded images, in Emacs frames with image support.

  ** Info mode:
+ 
+ *** A numeric prefix argument of `info' selects an Info buffer
+ with the number appended to the *info* buffer name.
+ 
+ *** New command `Info-history' (bound to L) displays a menu of visited nodes.
+ 
+ *** New command `Info-toc' (bound to T) creates a node with table of contents
+ from the tree structure of menus of the current Info file.
+ 
+ *** New command `info-apropos' searches the indices of the known
+ Info files on your system for a string, and builds a menu of the
+ possible matches.
+ 
+ *** New command `Info-copy-current-node-name' (bound to w) copies
+ the current Info node name into the kill ring.  With a zero prefix
+ arg, puts the node name inside the `info' function call.
+ 
+ *** New command `Info-search-case-sensitively' (bound to S).
+ 
+ *** New command `Info-search-next' (unbound) repeats the last search
+ without prompting for a new search string.
+ 
+ *** New face `info-xref-visited' distinguishes visited nodes from unvisited
+ and a new option `Info-fontify-visited-nodes' to control this.
+ 
+ *** http and ftp links in Info are now operational: they look like cross
+ references and following them calls `browse-url'.

  ** The utf-8/16 coding systems have been enhanced.
! By default, untranslatable utf-8 sequences (mostly representing CJK
! characters) are simply composed into single quasi-characters.  User
! option `utf-translate-cjk' arranges to translate many utf-8 CJK
! character sequences into real Emacs characters in a similar way to the
! Mule-UCS system.  This uses significant space, so is not the default.
  You can augment/amend the CJK translation via hash tables
  `ucs-mule-cjk-to-unicode' and `ucs-unicode-to-mule-cjk'.  The utf-8
  coding system now also encodes characters from most of Emacs's

+ ** Cleaner way to enter key sequences.
+ 
+ You can enter a constant key sequence in a more natural format, the
+ same one used for saving keyboard macros, using the macro `kbd'.  For
+ example,
+ 
+ (kbd "C-x C-f") => "\^x\^f"

  position or for a given window pixel coordinate.
