* Changes in Emacs 21.4
+** The X resource useXIM can be used to turn off use of XIM, which may
+speed up Emacs with slow networking to the X server.
+
+** `describe-char' can show data from the Unicode database file. See
+user option `unicode-data'.
+
** `undo-only' (bound to C-x U) does an undo which does not redo any
previous undo.
** New function `decode-coding-inserted-region' decodes a region as if
it is read from a file without decoding.
-** New function `optimize-char-coding-system-table' can be called
-after making changes to `char-coding-system-table'.
-
** New function `langinfo' accesses locale information.
** `save-selected-window' now saves and restores the selected window
