* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 23.2

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

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

---

*** When `doc-view-continuous' is non-nil, scrolling a line
on the page edge advances to the next/previous page.

** GDB-UI

*** Toolbar functionality for reverse debugging.  Display of STL
collections as watch expressions.  These features require GDB 7.0
or later.

** Grep
+++
*** A new command `zrgrep' searches recursively in gzipped files.

*** vc-git changes

**** The short log format for git makes use of the graph display, so
it's not supported on git versions earlier than 1.5.

**** Support for operating with stashes has been added to vc-dir: the stash list is
displayed in the *vc-dir* header, stashes can be created, removed, applied and
their content displayed.

**** vc-dir displays the stash status

**** vc-dir requires at least git-1.5.5.

** CEDET (the Collection of Emacs Development Tools) is now in Emacs.
This is a collection of packages to aid with using Emacs as an IDE
(integrated development environment):

*** The Semantic package allows the use of parsers to intelligently
edit and navigate source code.  Parsers for C/C++, Java, Javascript,
and several other languages are included by default, and Semantic can
also interface with external tools such as GNU Global and GNU Idutils.

To enable Semantic, use the global minor mode `semantic-mode'.
See the Semantic manual for details.

*** EDE (Emacs Development Environment) is a package for managing code
projects, including features such as automatic Makefile generation.

To enable EDE, use the minor mode `global-ede-mode'.
See the EDE manual for details.

*** SRecode is a library for recoding Semantic tags back into source
code.  It is currently used by some parts of Semantic and EDE; in the
future, it may be used for code generation features.

*** The EIEIO library implements a subset of the Common Lisp Object
System (CLOS).  It is used by the other CEDET packages.

** mpc.el is a front end for the Music Player Daemon.  Run it with M-x mpc.

** htmlfontify.el turns a fontified Emacs buffer into an HTML page.

+++

---
** 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** In image-mode.el `image-mode-maybe' is obsolete.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
initially, or `image-mode-as-text' when you want to display an image file
as text initially.  `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
`image-mode'.
