* Installation Changes in Emacs 22.1
+** You can build Emacs with Gtk+ widgets by specifying `--with-x-toolkit=gtk'
+when you run configure. This requires Gtk+ 2.4 or newer. This port
+provides a way to display multilingual text in menus (with some caveats).
+
** Emacs comes with a new set of icons.
These icons are displayed on the taskbar and/or titlebar when Emacs
runs in a graphical environment. Source files for these icons can be
into the Emacs executable; see gnu.h in the source tree. On MS
Windows, see nt/icons/emacs.ico.)
-** Emacs now supports new configure options `--program-prefix',
-`--program-suffix' and `--program-transform-name' that affect the names of
-installed programs.
-
-** Emacs can now be built without sound support.

-
-** The `emacsserver' program has been removed, replaced with Lisp code.
-
-** The `yow' program has been removed.
-Use the corresponding Emacs feature instead.
-
-** By default, Emacs now uses a setgid helper program to update game
-scores. The directory ${localstatedir}/games/emacs is the normal
-place for game scores to be stored. You can control this with the
-configure option `--with-game-dir'. The specific user that Emacs uses
-to own the game scores is controlled by `--with-game-user'. If access
-to a game user is not available, then scores will be stored separately
-in each user's home directory.
-
-** Leim is now part of the Emacs distribution.
-You no longer need to download a separate tarball in order to build
-Emacs with Leim.
-
** The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is now part of the distribution.
The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual in Info format is built as part of the
item was added to the menu bar to make it easily accessible
(Help->More Manuals->Introduction to Emacs Lisp).
+** Leim is now part of the Emacs distribution.
+You no longer need to download a separate tarball in order to build
+Emacs with Leim.
+
** New translations of the Emacs Tutorial are available in the
following languages: Brasilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Chinese (both
with simplified and traditional characters), French, Russian, and
the supported image types and their associated dynamic libraries by
setting the variable `image-library-alist'.
-** Support for a Cygwin build of Emacs was added.
-
-** Support for FreeBSD/Alpha has been added.
+** Support for GNU/Linux systems on X86-64 machines was added.
** Support for GNU/Linux systems on S390 machines was added.

** Mac OS 9 port now uses the Carbon API by default. You can also
create a non-Carbon build by specifying `NonCarbon' as a target. See
the files mac/README and mac/INSTALL for build instructions.

types any more. Add -DUSE_LISP_UNION_TYPE if you want union types.
`inhibit-splash-screen' (which is also aliased as
`inhibit-startup-message').
-** The default is now to use a bitmap as the icon, so the command-line options
---icon-type, -i have been replaced with options --no-bitmap-icon, -nbi to turn
-the bitmap icon off.

* Incompatible Editing Changes in Emacs 22.1
+** You can now follow links by clicking Mouse-1 on the link.
+
+See below for more details.
+
** M-g is now a prefix key.
M-g g and M-g M-g run goto-line.
M-g n and M-g M-n run next-error (like C-x `).
When goto-line starts to execute, if there's a number in the buffer at
point then it acts as the default argument for the minibuffer.
+** M-o now is the prefix key for setting text properties;
+M-o M-o requests refontification.
+
** The old bindings C-M-delete and C-M-backspace have been deleted,
since there are situations where one or the other will shut down
the operating system or your X server.
-** line-move-ignore-invisible now defaults to t.
-
** When the undo information of the current command gets really large
(beyond the value of `undo-outer-limit'), Emacs discards it and warns
you about it.
-** `apply-macro-to-region-lines' now operates on all lines that begin
-in the region, rather than on all complete lines in the region.
-
-** A prefix argument is no longer required to repeat a jump to a
-previous mark if you set `set-mark-command-repeat-pop' to t. I.e. C-u
-C-SPC C-SPC C-SPC ... cycles through the mark ring. Use C-u C-u C-SPC
-to set the mark immediately after a jump.
-
-** The info-search bindings on C-h C-f, C-h C-k and C-h C-i
-have been moved to C-h F, C-h K and C-h S.
-
** In incremental search, C-w is changed. M-%, C-M-w and C-M-y are special.
See below under "incremental search changes".
+** When Emacs prompts for file names, SPC no longer completes the file name.
+This is so filenames with embedded spaces could be input without the
+need to quote the space with a C-q. The underlying changes in the
+keymaps that are active in the minibuffer are described below under
+"New keymaps for typing file names".
+
** C-x C-f RET (find-file), typing nothing in the minibuffer, is no longer
a special case.

-
** In Dired's ! command (dired-do-shell-command), `*' and `?' now
control substitution of the file names only when they are surrounded
by whitespace. This means you can now use them as shell wildcards
doublequotes make no difference in the shell, but they prevent
special treatment in `dired-do-shell-command'.

+
+** line-move-ignore-invisible now defaults to t.
+
** Adaptive filling misfeature removed.
It no longer treats `NNN.' or `(NNN)' as a prefix.
but does not switch to that frame. It's the multi-frame
analogue of C-x 4 C-o.
-** New commands to operate on pairs of open and close characters:
-`insert-pair', `delete-pair', `raise-sexp'.
-
** New command `kill-whole-line' kills an entire line at once.
By default, it is bound to C-S-<backspace>.
been changed to reflect those used in Text mode rather than those used
in Indented-Text mode.
+** New commands to operate on pairs of open and close characters:
+`insert-pair', `delete-pair', `raise-sexp'.
+
** M-x setenv now expands environment variable references.
Substrings of the form `$foo' and `${foo}' in the specified new value
*** `vertical-border' face is used for the vertical divider between windows.
-** ebnf2ps changes:
-
-*** New option `ebnf-arrow-extra-width' which specify extra width for arrow
-shape drawing.
-The extra width is used to avoid that the arrowhead and the terminal border
-overlap. It depends on `ebnf-arrow-shape' and `ebnf-line-width'.
-
-*** New option `ebnf-arrow-scale' which specify the arrow scale.
-Values lower than 1.0, shrink the arrow.
-Values greater than 1.0, expand the arrow.
-
-** Font-Lock changes:
+** Font-Lock (syntax highlighting) changes:
*** M-o now is the prefix key for setting text properties;
M-o M-o requests refontification.
The `lazy-lock' package is superseded by `jit-lock' and is considered
obsolete. `jit-lock' is activated by default; if you wish to continue
using `lazy-lock', activate it in your ~/.emacs like this:
-
(setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)
If you invoke `lazy-lock-mode' directly rather than through
`font-lock-support-mode', it now issues a warning:
-
"Use font-lock-support-mode rather than calling lazy-lock-mode"
-
** Menu support:
*** A menu item "Show/Hide" was added to the top-level menu "Options".
** Mouse changes:
-*** If you set the new variable `mouse-autoselect-window' to a non-nil
-value, windows are automatically selected as you move the mouse from
-one Emacs window to another, even within a frame. A minibuffer window
-can be selected only when it is active.
-
-*** On X, when the window manager requires that you click on a frame to
-select it (give it focus), the selected window and cursor position
-normally changes according to the mouse click position. If you set
-the variable x-mouse-click-focus-ignore-position to t, the selected
-window and cursor position do not change when you click on a frame
-to give it focus.
-
*** You can now follow links by clicking Mouse-1 on the link.
Traditionally, Emacs uses a Mouse-1 click to set point and a Mouse-2
You can customize the new Mouse-1 behavior via the new user options
`mouse-1-click-follows-link' and `mouse-1-click-in-non-selected-windows'.
+*** If you set the new variable `mouse-autoselect-window' to a non-nil
+value, windows are automatically selected as you move the mouse from
+one Emacs window to another, even within a frame. A minibuffer window
+can be selected only when it is active.

*** Emacs normally highlights mouse sensitive text whenever the mouse
is over the text. By setting the new variable `mouse-highlight', you
can optionally enable mouse highlighting only after you move the
mule-unicode-0100-24ff charsets) on decoding. Note that this mode
will often effectively clobber data with an iso-2022 encoding.
-*** There is support for decoding Greek and Cyrillic characters into
-either Unicode (the mule-unicode charsets) or the iso-8859 charsets,
-when possible. The latter are more space-efficient. This is
-controlled by user option utf-fragment-on-decoding.

*** The utf-8/16 coding systems have been enhanced.
By default, untranslatable utf-8 sequences are simply composed into
one-dimensional internal charsets, specifically the ISO-8859 ones.
The utf-16 coding system is affected similarly.
+*** A UTF-7 coding system is available in the library `utf-7'.

-subshells running inside Emacs. This supersedes the EMACS environment
-variable, which will be removed in a future Emacs release. Programs
-that need to know whether they are started inside Emacs should check
