** A French translation of the Emacs Tutorial is available.


* Changes in Emacs 21.4

** BibTeX mode:
*** New `bibtex-entry-format' option `required-fields', enabled by default.
*** bibtex-maintain-sorted-entries can take values `plain',
`crossref', and `entry-class' which control the sorting scheme used

** The function `number-sequence' returns a list of equally-separated
numbers.  For instance, (number-sequence 4 9) returns (4 5 6 7 8 9).
By default, the separation is 1, but you can specify a different separation
as the third argument.  (number-sequence 1.5 6 2) returns (1.5 3.5 5.5).

** `file-chase-links' now takes an optional second argument LIMIT which 
specifies the maximum number of links to chase through.  If after that
many iterations the file name obtained is still a symbolic link,
`file-chase-links' returns it anyway.

** `set-fontset-font', `fontset-info', `fontset-font' now operate on

This makes it generally unnecessary to mark invisible text as intangible.
This is particularly good because the intangible property often has
unexpected side-effects since the property applies to everything
(including `goto-char', ...) whereas this new code is only run after
post-command-hook and thus does not care about intermediate states.
	
** Only one of the beginning or end of an invisible, intangible region is
considered an acceptable value for point; which one is determined by
examining how the invisible/intangible properties are inherited when new
text is inserted adjacent to them.  (The `front-sticky' and `rear-sticky'
properties control this.)
