* Changes in Emacs 21.4

** Control characters and escape glyphs are now shown in the new
escape-glyph face.

** Non-breaking space and hyphens are now prefixed with an escape
character, unless the new user variable `show-nonbreak-escape' is set

Hits are fontified in green, and hits in binary files in orange.  Grep buffers
can be saved and automatically revisited with the new Grep mode.

*** Grep commands now have their own submenu and customization group.

*** The new variables `grep-window-height', `grep-auto-highlight', and
`grep-scroll-output' can be used to override the corresponding
compilation mode settings for grep commands.

back the match can start; this is a way to keep it from taking too long.

** New functions `make-progress-reporter', `progress-reporter-update',
`progress-reporter-force-update' and `progress-reporter-done' provide
a simple and efficient way for a command to present progress messages
for the user.

** To manipulate the File menu using easy-menu, you must specify the
proper name "file".  In previous Emacs versions, you had to specify
"files", even though the menu item itself was changed to say "File"

* Changes in Emacs 21.4

** Emacs now responds to mouse-clicks on the mode-line, header-line and
display margin, when run in an xterm.

** M-SPC (just-one-space) when given a numeric argument N
converts whitespace around point to N spaces.

** Control characters and escape glyphs are now shown in the new
escape-glyph face.

** Non-breaking space and hyphens are now prefixed with an escape
character, unless the new user variable `show-nonbreak-escape' is set

Hits are fontified in green, and hits in binary files in orange.  Grep buffers
can be saved and automatically revisited with the new Grep mode.

*** Grep commands now have their own submenu and customization group.

+++
*** `grep-find' is now also available under the name `find-grep' where
people knowing `find-grep-dired' would probably expect it.

*** The new variables `grep-window-height', `grep-auto-highlight', and
`grep-scroll-output' can be used to override the corresponding
compilation mode settings for grep commands.

** `suppress-keymap' now works by remapping `self-insert-command' to
the command `undefined'.  (In earlier Emacs versions, it used
`substitute-key-definition' to rebind self inserting characters to
`undefined'.)
