** M-x view-file and commands that use it now avoid interfering
with special modes such as Tar mode.

** The apropos commands don't sort by scores unless they show scores.
The option apropos-show-scores controls both uses of scores.

since there are situations where one or the other will shut down
the operating system or your X server.

** New minor mode, Visible mode, toggles invisibility in the current buffer.
When enabled, it makes all invisible text visible.  When disabled, it
restores the previous value of `buffer-invisibility-spec'. 

** New command `kill-whole-line' kills an entire line at once.
By default, it is bound to C-S-<backspace>.

* Changes in Emacs 21.4

** sql changes.

*** The variable `sql-product' controls the highlightng of different
SQL dialects.  This variable can be set globally via Customize, on a
buffer-specific basis via local variable settings, or for the current
session using the new SQL->Product submenu.  (This menu replaces the
SQL->Highlighting submenu.)

The following values are supported:

    ansi	ANSI Standard (default)
    db2		DB2
    informix    Informix
    ingres      Ingres
    interbase	Interbase
    linter	Linter
    ms		Microsoft
    mysql	MySQL
    oracle	Oracle
    postgres	Postgres
    solid       Solid
    sqlite      SQLite
    sybase      Sybase

The current product name will be shown on the mode line following the
SQL mode indicator.

The technique of setting `sql-mode-font-lock-defaults' directly in
your .emacs will no longer establish the default highlighting -- Use
`sql-product' to accomplish this.

*** The function `sql-add-product-keywords' can be used to add
font-lock rules to the product specific rules.  For example, to have
all identifiers ending in "_t" under MS SQLServer treated as a type,
you would use the following line in your .emacs file:

  (sql-add-product-keywords 'ms
             '("\\<\\w+_t\\>" . font-lock-type-face))

*** Oracle support includes keyword highlighting for Oracle 9i.  Most
SQL and PL/SQL keywords are implemented.  SQL*Plus commands are
highlighted in `font-lock-doc-face'.

*** Microsoft SQLServer support has been significantly improved.
Keyword highlighting for SqlServer 2000 is implemented.
sql-interactive-mode defaults to use osql, rather than isql, because
osql flushes it's error stream more frequently.  Thus error messages
are displayed when they occur rather than when the session is
terminated.

If the username and password are not provided to `sql-ms', osql is
called with the -E command line argument to use the operating system
credentials to authenticate the user.

*** Imenu support has been enhanced to locate tables, views, indexes,
packages, procedures, functions, triggers, sequences, rules, and
defaults.

*** Added SQL->Start SQLi Session menu entry which calls the
appropriate sql-interactive-mode wrapper for the current setting of
`sql-product'.

** M-x view-file and commands that use it now avoid interfering
with special modes such as Tar mode.

** The apropos commands don't sort by scores unless they show scores.
The option apropos-show-scores controls both uses of scores.

since there are situations where one or the other will shut down
the operating system or your X server.
