`byte-compile-enable-warning.'

** `mode-name' is no longer guaranteed to be a string.
Use `(format-mode-line mode-name)' to ensure a string value.

** The feature `devanagari' and `devan-util' were removed, and all
devanagari-* and dev-* functions and variables were removed too.  They
were for displaying Devanagari script with a specific kind of font in
Emacs 22, and not necessary anymore because of OpenType font support.

** The feature `kannada' and `knd-util' were removed, and all
kannada-* and knd-* functions and variables are removed too.  They
were for displaying Kannada script with a specific kind of font in
Emacs 22, and not necessary anymore because of OpenType font support.

The concept of a charset has changed.  A single character may belong to
multiple charsets (e.g. a-grave, U+00E0, belongs to charsets unicode,
iso-8859-1, iso-8859-3, etc).

*** The new function `characterp' returns t if and only if the argument
is a character.

*** The new function `max-char' returns the maximum character code
(currently it is #x3FFFFF).

*** The functions `encode-char' and `decode-char' now accept any character sets.

*** The functions `modify-syntax-entry' and `modify-category-entry' now
accepts a cons of characters as the first argument, and modify all
entries in that range of characters.

*** The functions `char-bytes', `chars-in-region', and `char-valid-p' are
obsolete.

** Code conversion changes.

*** The new function `define-coding-system' should be used to define a
coding system instead of `make-coding-system' (which is now obsolete).
