* Installation Changes in Emacs 22.1

---
** Emacs now supports new configure options `--program-prefix',
`--program-suffix' and `--program-transform-name' that affect the names of
installed programs.

---

The Emacs terminal emulation in term.el now uses "eterm-color" as its
terminfo name, since term.el now supports color.

---
** Emacs Lisp source files are compressed by default if `gzip' is available.

`same-window'.

+++
** The default for the paper size (variable ps-paper-type) is taken
from the locale.

** The command `list-faces-display' now accepts a prefix arg.
When passed, the function prompts for a regular expression and lists
only faces matching this regexp.

** Mark command changes:

+++
*** A prefix argument is no longer required to repeat a jump to a

for pager-like scrolling.  Keys which normally move point by line or
paragraph will scroll the buffer by the respective amount of lines
instead and point will be kept vertically fixed relative to window
boundaries during scrolling.

** The file t-mouse.el is now part of Emacs and provides access to mouse
events from the console.  It still requires gpm to work but has been updated
for Emacs 22. In particular, the mode-line is now position sensitive.

* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 22.1:

See the file GNUS-NEWS or the node "Oort Gnus" in the Gnus manual for details.

---
** MH-E changes.

Upgraded to MH-E version 8.0.  There have been major changes since
version 5.0.2; see MH-E-NEWS for details.

** Calendar changes:

(defun PP (data) (insert (format "%S\n" data)))
(ewoc-create 'PP "start\n\n" "\n" t)


* Changes in Emacs 22.1 on non-free operating systems

This is like `window-height' but does not count the mode line or the
header line.

+++
*** New function `window-body-height'.

This is like `window-height' but does not count the mode line
or the header line.

+++
*** You can now make a window as short as one line.

A window that is just one line tall does not display either a mode
line or a header line, even if the variables `mode-line-format' and
`header-line-format' call for them.  A window that is two lines tall

It is like `remove-text-properties' except that it takes a list of
property names as argument rather than a property list.

** Face changes

+++
*** The new face attribute condition `min-colors' can be used to tailor
the face color to the number of colors supported by a display, and
define the foreground and background colors accordingly so that they

* Installation Changes in Emacs 22.1

---
** 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
found in etc/images/icons.  (You can't change the icons displayed by
Emacs by changing these files directly.  On X, the icon is compiled
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.

---

The Emacs terminal emulation in term.el now uses "eterm-color" as its
terminfo name, since term.el now supports color.

---
** Emacs Lisp source files are compressed by default if `gzip' is available.

---
** All images used in Emacs have been consolidated in etc/images and subdirs.
See also the changes to `find-image', documented below.

** Locate changes

---
*** By default, reverting the *Locate* buffer now just runs the last
`locate' command back over again without offering to update the locate
database (which normally only works if you have root privileges).  If
you prefer the old behavior, set the new customizable option
`locate-update-when-revert' to t.

** Face changes

+++
*** The variable `facemenu-unlisted-faces' has been removed.
Emacs has a lot more faces than in the past, and nearly all of them
needed to be excluded.  The new variable `facemenu-listed-faces' lists
the faces to include in the face menu.

+++
*** The new face attribute condition `min-colors' can be used to tailor
the face color to the number of colors supported by a display, and
define the foreground and background colors accordingly so that they
