* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 23.3

---
** The appt-add command takes an optional argument for the warning time.
This can be used in place of the default appt-message-warning-time.

** Obsolete packages

+++
*** lmenu.el and cl-compat.el are now obsolete.

* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 23.3

---
** The appt-add command takes an optional argument for the warning time.
This can be used in place of the default appt-message-warning-time.

** VC and related modes

*** New VC commands: vc-log-incoming, vc-log-outgoing, vc-find-conflicted-file.

**** vc-log-incoming for Git runs "git fetch" so that the necessary
data is available locally.

**** vc-log-incoming and vc-log-outgoing for Git require version 1.7 (or newer).

*** New key bindings: C-x v I and C-x v O bound to vc-log-incoming and
vc-log-outgoing, respectively.

*** The 'g' key in VC diff, log, log-incoming and log-outgoing buffers
reruns the corresponding VC command to compute an up to date version
of the buffer.

*** vc-dir for Bzr supports viewing shelve contents and shelving snapshots.

*** Special markup can be added to log-edit buffers.
The log-edit buffers are expected to have a format similar to email messages
with headers of the form:
  Author: <author of this change>
  Summary: <one line summary of this change>
  Fixes: <reference to the bug fixed by this change>
Some backends handle some of those headers specially, but any unknown header
is just left as is in the message, so it is not lost.

**** vc-git handles Author: and Date:
**** vc-hg handles  Author: and Date:
**** vc-bzr handles Author:, Date: and Fixes:
**** vc-mtn handles Author: and Date:

*** Pressing g in a *vc-diff* buffer reruns vc-diff, so it will
produce an up to date diff.


** Obsolete packages
