so we will look at it and add it to the manual.


* Installation Changes in Emacs 23.2

** New configure options for Emacs developers
These are not new features; only the configure flags are new.
---
*** --enable-profiling builds Emacs with profiling enabled.
This might not work on all platforms.

** The bookmark menu has a narrowing search via bookmark-bmenu-search.

** LaTeX mode now provides completion (via completion-at-point).

---
** sym-comp.el is now declared obsolete, superceded by completion-at-point.

** lucid.el and levents.el are now declared obsolete.

** pcomplete provides a new command `pcomplete-std-completion' which
is similar to `pcomplete' but using the standard completion UI code.

** Calc

*** The new built-in commands `su' and `sudo' support Tramp.
That means, they change `default-directory' to the new users value,
and let commands run under that user permissions.  It works even when
`default-directory' is already remote.  Calling the external commands
is possible by `*su' or `*sudo', repectively.
---
*** When running in a new enough xterm (newer than version 242), Emacs
asks xterm what the background color is and it sets up faces
accordingly for a dark background if needed (the current default is to
consider the background light).

** Support for generating Emacs 18 compatible bytecode (by setting
the variable `byte-compile-compatibility') has been removed.

** In image-mode.el `image-mode-maybe' is obsolete.  Instead, you can
either use `image-mode' that displays an image file as the actual image
inititally, or `image-mode-as-text' when you want to display an image file
as text inititally.  `image-mode-as-text' is a combination of a non-image
mode from `auto-mode-alist' (or Fundamental mode) and `image-minor-mode'.
`image-minor-mode' provides `C-c C-c' key binding to toggle image display.
`image-toggle-display-text' removes image properties.
`image-toggle-display-image' adds image properties.
`image-toggle-display' toggles between `image-mode-as-text' and
