** cplus-md.el has been removed to avoid problems with Custom.

** New package benchmark.el contains simple support for convenient
timing measurements of code (including the garbage collection component).

** 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

** If a command sets transient-mark-mode to `only', that 
enables Transient Mark mode for the following command, only.

+++
** Cleaner way to enter key sequences.

You can enter a constant key sequence in a more natural format, the

variable is used by read-file-name-internal to filter the completion list.

---
** The new variable `read-file-name-function' can be used by lisp code
to override the internal read-file-name function.

+++
** The new function `read-directory-name' can be used instead of
`read-file-name' to read a directory name; when used, completion
will only show directories.

it in that buffer.

---
** In `replace-match', the replacement text no longer inherits
properties from surrounding text.

+++
** New function `buffer-local-value'.

This function returns the buffer-local binding of VARIABLE (a symbol)

** cplus-md.el has been removed to avoid problems with Custom.

** New package benchmark.el contains simple support for convenient

** The new Lisp library fringe.el controls the appearance of fringes.

** `cfengine-mode' is a major mode for editing GNU Cfengine

* Lisp Changes in Emacs 21.4

** If a command sets transient-mark-mode to `only', that 
enables Transient Mark mode for the following command only.
During that following command, the value of transient-mark-mode
is `identity'.  If it is still `identity' at the end of the command,
it changes to nil.

---
** The new variable `read-file-name-function' can be used by lisp code
to override the internal read-file-name function.


** The new variable `read-file-name-completion-ignore-case' specifies
whether completion ignores case when reading a file name with the
`read-file-name' function.

** The new function `read-directory-name' can be used instead of
`read-file-name' to read a directory name; when used, completion
will only show directories.

** In `replace-match', the replacement text no longer inherits
properties from surrounding text.

+++
** `(match-data t)' will append the buffer as a final element of the
match data if the last match was on a buffer.  `set-match-data' will
accept this for restoring the match state.

** New function `buffer-local-value'.
