** TAB now indents the region if the region is active and
`transient-mark-mode' is turned on.

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

** New command kill-matching-buffers kills buffers whose name matches a regexp.

** `interprogram-paste-function' can now return one string or a list
of strings.  In the latter case, Emacs puts the second and following
strings on the kill ring.

** Minibuffer changes:

*** In C-x d, if you type M-n you get the visited file name of the
current buffer.

variable as having been made within Custom.

** `frame-inherited-parameters' lets new frames inherit parameters from
the selected frame.

** New keymap `input-decode-map' overrides like key-translation-map, but
applies before function-key-map.  Also it is terminal-local contrary to
key-translation-map.  Terminal-specific key-sequences are generally added to
this map rather than to function-key-map now.

undefined functions.  The new `check-declare' package verifies that such
statements are accurate (i.e. the functions are actually defined in
the specified files).

** The new function `read-color' reads a color name using the minibuffer.

** Changes related to multiple tty support.

*** $TERM is now set to `dumb' for subprocesses.  If you want to know the
$TERM inherited by Emacs you will have to look inside initial-environment.

word at point.

** TAB now indents the region if the region is active and
`transient-mark-mode' is turned on.

** `use-empty-active-region' controls whether an empty active region
in Transient Mark mode should make commands operate on that empty region.

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

** New command kill-matching-buffers kills buffers whose name matches a regexp.

** You can disable kill ring commands from accessing the primary selection
by setting `x-select-enable-primary' to nil.

** If `select-active-regions' is t, setting the mark automatically
makes the new region into the primary selection (for interaction with
other window applications).  If you enable this, you might want to bind
`mouse-yank-primary' to Mouse-2.

** If `yank-pop-change-selection' is t, rotating the kill ring
also updates the selection or clipboard to the current yank,
just as M-w would do so with the text it copies to the kill ring.

** Minibuffer changes:

*** In C-x d, if you type M-n you get the visited file name of the
current buffer.

variable as having been made within Custom.

** `frame-inherited-parameters' lets new frames inherit parameters from
the selected frame.

** Commands should use `use-region-p' to test whether there is
an active region that they should operate on.

** `region-active-p' returns non-nil when Transient Mark mode
is enabled and there is an active region.  This is NOT the best function
to use to test whether a command should operate on the region instead
of the usual behavior -- for that, use `use-region-p'.

** New keymap `input-decode-map' overrides like key-translation-map, but
applies before function-key-map.  Also it is terminal-local contrary to
key-translation-map.  Terminal-specific key-sequences are generally added to
