** A French translation of the Emacs Tutorial is available.


* Changes in Emacs 21.4

+++
** Help mode now only makes hyperlinks for faces when the face name is
preceded or followed by the word `face'.  It no longer makes
hyperlinks for variables without variable documentation, unless

`grep-scroll-output' can be used to override the corresponding
compilation mode settings for grep commands.

*** Source line is temporarily highlighted when going to next match.

*** New key bindings in grep output window:  
SPC and DEL scrolls window up and down.  C-n and C-p moves to next and
previous match in the grep window.  RET jumps to the source line of
the current match.  `n' and `p' shows next and previous match in
other window, but does not switch buffer.  `{' and `}' jumps to the
previous or next file in the grep output.  TAB also jumps to the next

** `cfengine-mode' is a major mode for editing GNU Cfengine
configuration files.

* Lisp Changes in Emacs 21.4

** Mouse event enhancements:

*** Mouse clicks on fringes now generates left-fringe or right-fringes
events, rather than a text area click event.

+++
*** Mouse events may now include image object in addition to string object.

+++
*** Mouse events include relative x and y pixel coordinates relative to
the top left corner of the object (image or character) clicked on.  

*** New functions 'posn-object' and 'posn-object-x-y' return the image
or string object of a mouse click, and the x and y pixel coordinates
relative to the top left corner of that object.

** Major modes can define `eldoc-print-current-symbol-info-function'
locally to provide Eldoc functionality by some method appropriate to
the language.

** New coding system property `mime-text-unsuitable' indicates that
the coding system's `mime-charset' is not suitable for MIME text
parts, e.g. utf-16.

+++

---
** describe-vector now takes a second argument `describer' which is
called to print the entries' values.  It defaults to `princ'.

** defcustom and other custom declarations now use a default group
(the last group defined in the same file) when no :group was given.

+++
** emacsserver now runs pre-command-hook and post-command-hook when
it receives a request from emacsclient.

* Changes in Emacs 21.4

** New command `display-local-help' displays any local help at point
in the echo area.  It is bound to `C-h .'.  It normally displays the
same string that would be displayed on mouse-over using the
`help-echo' property, but, in certain cases, it can display a more
keyboard oriented alternative.

** New user option `help-at-pt-display-when-idle' allows to
automatically show the help provided by `display-local-help' on
point-over, after suitable idle time.  The amount of idle time is
determined by the user option `help-at-pt-timer-delay' and defaults
to one second.  This feature is turned off by default.

** New commands `scan-buf-next-region' and `scan-buf-previous-region'
move to the start of the next (previous, respectively) region with
non-nil help-echo property and display any help found there in the
echo area, using `display-local-help'.

* Lisp Changes in Emacs 21.4

** New function `get-char-property-and-overlay' accepts the same
arguments as `get-char-property' and returns a cons whose car is the
return value of `get-char-property' called with those arguments and
whose cdr is the overlay in which the property was found, or nil if
it was found as a text property or not found at all.

** Mouse event enhancements:

*** Mouse clicks on fringes now generates left-fringe or right-fringes
events, rather than a text area click event.
