** New language environments `Polish', `Latin-8' and `Latin-9'.
Latin-8 and Latin-9 correspond respectively to the ISO character sets
8859-14 (Celtic) and 8859-15 (updated Latin-1, with the Euro sign).
GNU Intlfonts doesn't support these yet but recent X releases have
8859-15.  See etc/INSTALL for information on obtaining extra fonts.
There are new Latin-8 and Latin-9 prefix (only) and Polish slash input
methods in Leim.

extra private charsets, there is now only one slot free for a new
dimension-2 private charset.  User code which tries to add more than
one extra will fail unless you rebuild Emacs with some standard
charset(s) removed; that is probably inadvisable because it changes
the emacs-mule encoding.  Also, files stored in the emacs-mule
encoding using an Emacs 20 with additional private charsets defined
will probably not be read correctly by Emacs 21.

*** The functions `find-charset-region' and `find-charset-string' include
`eight-bit-control' and/or `eight-bit-graphic' in the returned list
when it finds 8-bit characters.  Previously, it included `ascii' in a
multibyte buffer and `unknown' in a unibyte buffer.

`string-as-unibyte' change the byte sequence of a buffer if it
contains a character from the `eight-bit-control' character set.

eight-bit-control is never exposed; this leads to an exception in the
emacs-mule coding system, which encodes everything else to the
buffer/string internal representation.
