* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 23.1

** A new `whitespace' package has been installed, and the pre-existing one
renamed to `old-whitespace'.
[FIXME someone explain why this is good, if it is...]

** In Change Log mode, the new function `change-log-find-file', bound to
C-c C-f, finds the file associated with the current log entry.

** abbrev was rewritten in Elisp and extended with more flexibility.
*** New functions: abbrev-get, abbrev-put, abbrev-table-get, abbrev-table-put,
    abbrev-table-p, abbrev-insert, abbrev-table-menu.
*** Special hook `abbrev-expand-functions' obsoletes `pre-abbrev-expand-hook'.

`C-h b' displays all isearch key bindings, `C-h k' displays the full
documentation of the given isearch key sequence, `C-h m' displays
documentation of isearch mode.  All the rest Help commands exit isearch mode
and execute their global definitions.

** smerge-refine highlights word-level details of changes in conflict.
It's used automatically as you move through conflicts, see smerge-auto-refine.

** Diff mode

*** diff-refine-hunk highlights word-level details of changes in a diff hunk.
It's used automatically as you move through hunks, see
diff-auto-refine.  It is bound to `C-c C-b'.

*** diff-add-change-log-entries-other-window iterates through the diff
buffer and tries to create ChangeLog entries for each change.
It is bound to `C-x 4 A'.

** archive-mode has basic support to browse Rar archives.

** talk.el has been extended for multiple tty support.

** Compile and grep modes

version-control systems such as Subversion, GNU Arch, Mercurial, Git
and Bzr.  VC will now pass a multiple-file commit to these systems as
a single changeset.

*** vc-dir is a new command that displays file names and their VC
status.  It allows to apply various VC operations to apply a file or a
set of files.

*** Clicking on the VC mode-line entry now pops the VC menu.

*** The VC mode-line entry now has a tooltip that explains the VC file status.

*** Log entries can be modified using the key "e" in log-view.
For now only CVS, RCS, SCCS and SVN support this functionality.
This is done by the `modify-change-comment' backend function.

** log-edit now has a command bound to C-c C-d to show the diff for
the files involved.

** sgml-electric-tag-pair-mode lets you simultaneously edit matched tag pairs.

** The appearance of superscript and subscript in TeX is more customizable.
See the documentation of the variables: tex-fontify-script,
