* Changes in Emacs 23.1

** Support for multiple terminal devices and simultaneous graphical
and tty frames has been added.  You can test for the presence of this
feature in your Lisp code by testing for the `multi-tty' feature.

** Emacsclient has been extended to support opening a new terminal
frame.  Its behavior has been changed to open a new Emacs frame by
default.  Use the -c option to get the old behavior of opening files in
the currently selected Emacs frame.

** The refcards are now shipped as PDF files.

** Emacs now supports the SVG image format through librsvg2.

** The Gtk+ build now uses stock tool bar icons, so that a theme change

** C-z now invokes `suspend-frame', C-x C-c now invokes
`save-buffers-kill-terminal'.

* Lisp Changes in Emacs 23.1

** Changes related to multiple tty support.

*** The `window-system' variable has been made frame-local. The new
`initial-window-system' variable contains the `window-system' value
for the first frame.

*** You can specify a terminal device (`tty' parameter) and a terminal
type (`tty-type' parameter) to `make-terminal-frame'.

*** The new function `make-frame-on-tty' allows you to create a new
frame on another tty device interactively.

*** The function `make-frame-on-display' now works during a tty
session, and `make-frame-on-tty' works during a graphical session.

*** New functions: frame-tty-name, frame-tty-type, delete-tty,
suspend-tty, resume-tty, terminal-id, terminal-parameters,
terminal-parameter, set-terminal-parameter,
modify-terminal-parameters, environment, let-environment

*** New variables: local-key-translation-map, local-function-key-map

*** New frame parameters display-environment-variable and
term-environment-variable.

*** The `keyboard-translate-table' variable and the terminal and
keyboard coding systems have been made terminal-local.

*** In addition to the global key-translation-map and
function-key-map, Emacs has terminal-local local-key-translation-map
and local-function-key-map variables, and uses them instead of the
global keymaps to set up translations and function key sequences
relevant to a specific terminal device.


** The function invisible-p returns non-nil if the character
   after a specified position is invisible, or if its argument
   as an `invisible' property would make a character invisible.

** Non-breaking space now acts as whitespace.
