Subject: [PATCH] ASCII-only etc/NEWS etc.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
* etc/NEWS, nextstep/README: Revert the recently-added curved
quotes, and stick to ASCII. This typically involves replacing
curved with straight quotes. Since etc/NEWS is viewed so often by
UTF-8-ignorant tools, rewrite its non-ASCII text to spell out
Unicode, e.g., replace âââ with âU+2012 (FIGURE DASH)â.

** Emacs can now load shared/dynamic libraries (modules).
A dynamic Emacs module is a shared library that provides additional
functionality for use in Emacs Lisp programs, just like a package
-written in Emacs Lisp would. The functions âloadâ, ârequireâ,
-âload-fileâ, etc. were extended to load such modules, as they do with
-Emacs Lisp packages. The new variable âmodule-file-suffixâ holds the

+Emacs Lisp packages. The new variable 'module-file-suffix' holds the
+system-dependent value of the file-name extension ('.so' on Posix
hosts) of the module files.
A module should export a C-callable function named
-âemacs_module_initâ, which Emacs will call as part of the call to
-âloadâ or ârequireâ which loads the module. It should also export a
-symbol named âplugin_is_GPL_compatibleâ to indicate that its code is
+'emacs_module_init', which Emacs will call as part of the call to
+'load' or 'require' which loads the module. It should also export a
+symbol named 'plugin_is_GPL_compatible' to indicate that its code is
released under the GPL or compatible license; Emacs will refuse to
-load modules that donât export such a symbol.
+load modules that don't export such a symbol.

+module's functions. User-ptr objects can also have associated
