C-down-mouse-3. Move concat change.

30338:410bf1054bbd

** There is a new configure option `--without-xim' that instructs
Emacs to not use X Input Methods (XIM), if they these are available.

* Changes in Emacs 21.1

** Variable `load-path' is no longer customizable because it contains
a version-dependent component.

** The <delete> function key is now bound to `delete-char' by default.

** The obsolete variables before-change-function and
after-change-function are no longer acted upon and have been removed.

** The function `apropos-mode' runs the hook `apropos-mode-hook'.


* Lisp changes in Emacs 21.1 (see following page for display-related features)

Note that +++ before an item means the Lisp manual has been updated.
--- means that I have decided it does not need to be in the Lisp manual.

0xA0..0xFF respectively.

+++
** If the APPEND argument of `write-region' is an integer, it seeks to
that offset in the file before writing.

** `concat' no longer accepts individual integer arguments, as
promised long ago.

** The function `add-minor-mode' has been added for convenience and
compatibility with XEmacs (and is used internally by define-minor-mode).

** The function `shell-command' now sets the default directory of the

property `:help FORM', FORM is evaluated to determine the help string.
For tool-bar items without a help form, the caption of the item is
used as help string.

The hook `show-help-function' can be set to a function that displays
help differently.  For example, enabling a tooltip window causes the
help display to appear there instead of in the echo area.

+++
** Vertical fractional scrolling.

The display of text in windows can be scrolled smoothly in pixels.

* Changes in Emacs 21.1

** C-down-mouse-3 is bound differently.  Now if the menu bar is not
displayed it pops up a menu containing the items which would be on the
menu bar.  If the menu bar is displayed, it pops up the major mode
menu or the Edit menu if there is no major mode menu.

** Variable `load-path' is no longer customizable because it contains
a version-dependent component.
