** Scrollbars follow the system theme on Windows XP and later.
Windows XP introduced themed scrollbars, but applications have to take
special steps to use them. Emacs now has the appropriate resources linked
in to make it use the scrollbars from the system theme.

** focus-follows-mouse defaults to nil on MS Windows
Previously this variable was incorrectly documented as having no effect
on MS Windows, and the default was inappropriate for the majority of
Windows installations. Users of software which modifies the behaviour of
Windows to cause focus to follow the mouse will now need to explicitly set
this variable.

** The command gdba has been removed as gdb works now for those cases where it
was needed.  In text command mode, if you have problems before execution has
started, use M-x gud-gdb.

* New Modes and Packages in Emacs 22.2

** bibtex-style-mode helps you write BibTeX's *.bst files.

** The new package css-mode.el provides a major mode for editing CSS files.

*** VC has some support for Git.

* Lisp Changes in Emacs 22.2.

** The command `repeat' no longer attempts to repeat a command bound
   to an input event.

** The function invisible-p returns non-nil if the character
   after a specified position is invisible.

+++
** inhibit-modification-hooks is bound to t while running modification hooks.
As a happy consequence, after-change-functions and before-change-functions
are not bound to nil any more while running an (after|before)-change-function.

** desktop.el now detects conflicting uses of the desktop file.
When loading the desktop, desktop.el can now detect that the file is already
in use.  The default behavior is to ask the user what to do, but you can
customize it with the new option `desktop-load-locked-desktop'.  When saving,
desktop.el warns about attempts to overwrite a desktop file if it determines
that the desktop being saved is not an update of the one on disk.

** Frame-local variables are deprecated and are slated for removal.
   Use frame parameters instead.
