* Changes in Emacs 21.1

* The Strokes package has been updated.  If your Emacs has XPM
support, you can use it for pictographic editing.  In Strokes mode,
use C-mouse-2 to compose a complex stoke and insert it into the
buffer.  You can encode or decode a strokes buffer with new commands
M-x strokes-encode-buffer and M-x strokes-decode-buffer.  There is a
new command M-x strokes-list-strokes.

+++
* New command M-x describe-character-set reads a character set name
and displayes information about that.

* When an error is signaled during the loading of the user's init
file, Emacs now pops up the *Messages* buffer.

** Polish and German translations of Emacs' reference card have been
added.  They are named `pl-refcard.tex' and `de-refcard.tex'.
Postscript files are included.

* Lisp changes made after edition 2.6 of the Emacs Lisp Manual,
(Display-related features are described in a page of their own below.)

** In image specifications, `:heuristic-mask' has been replaced
with the more general `:mask' property.

** A `?' can be used in a symbol name without escaping it with a
backslash.
