*** The `mode-line-emphasis' face is used to highlight certain
mode-line information (e.g. waiting for a VC command to finish).
---
*** The mode-line tooltips have been improved to provide more details.

*** The VC, line/colum number and minor mode indicators on the mode
line are now interactive: mouse-1 can be used on them to pop up a menu.

** File deletion can make use of the Recycle Bin or system Trash folder.
Set `delete-by-moving-to-trash' non-nil to use this.  Deleted files

`pp-macroexpand-last-sexp' pretty-print macro expansions.

*** The new command `set-file-modes' allows to set file's mode bits.
The mode bits can be specified in symbolic notation, like with GNU
Coreutils, in addition to an octal number.

*** If you set find-file-confirm-nonexistent-file to t, then C-x C-f
requires confirmation before opening a non-existent file.

*** `next-error-recenter' specifies how next-error should recenter the
visited source file.  Its value can be a number (for example, 0 for

*** VC now supports applying VC operations to a set of files at a time.
This enables VC to work much more effectively with changeset-oriented
version-control systems such as Subversion, GNU Arch, Mercurial, Git
and Bzr.  VC will now pass a multiple-file commit to these systems as
a single changeset.

*** vc-dir is a new command that displays file names and their VC
status.  It allows to apply various VC operations to a file, a
directory or a set of files/directories.

*** Clicking on the VC mode-line entry now pops the VC menu.

*** The VC mode-line entry now has a tooltip that explains the VC file status.
+++
*** In VC Annotate mode, for VC systems that support changesets, you can
see the diff for the whole changeset (not only for the current file)
by typing the D key.  Using the "Show changeset diff of revision at

+++
*** In VC Annotate mode, you can type v to toggle the annotation visibility.
+++
*** In VC Annotate mode, you can type f to show the file revision on
the current line.

*** Asynchronous VC commands display [Waiting...] in the mode-line
of the corresponding buffer as long as the asynchronous process is
active.

*** Log entries can be modified using the key "e" in log-view.
For now only CVS, RCS, SCCS and SVN support this functionality.
This is done by the `modify-change-comment' backend function.

*** In log-view-mode, for VC systems that support changesets, you can
see the diff for the whole changeset (not only for the current file)
by typing the D key or using the "Changeset Diff" menu entry.

*** In Log Edit mode,  C-c C-d now shows the diff for the files involved.

*** vc-git supports the "git grep" command.

*** VC Support for Meta-CVS has been removed for lack of maintainer able
to update it to the new VC.

** Miscellaneous

** File handling changes

+++
*** set-file-modes is now interactive and can take the mode value in
symbolic notation thanks to auxiliary functions.

+++
*** file-local-variables-alist stores an alist of file-local
variables defined in the current buffer.
