Mention the removal of codepage related functions.

** New charset implementation with many new charsets.
See M-x list-character-sets.  New charsets can be defined conveniently
as tables of unicodes.

The dimension of a charset is now 0, 1, 2, or 3, and the size of each
dimension is no longer limited to 94 or 96.

A dynamic charset priority list is used to infer the charset of
characters for display.

** Emacs now supports local fonts (fonts installed in the same machine
as Emacs is running) by freetype and fontconfig libraries.  On X, they
are derived via Xft library with antialias support.  Fontconfig-like
font names (e.g. monospace-12) are also accepted.

** New language environments Chinese-GBK, Chinese-GB18030, and TaiViet.

** The following facilities are obsolete:

Minor modes: unify-8859-on-encoding-mode, unify-8859-on-decoding-mode

`canonical-combining-class', `bidi-class', `decomposition',
`decimal-digit-value', `digit-value', `numeric-value', `mirrored',
`old-name', `iso-10646-comment', `uppercase', `lowercase', and
`titlecase'.

** Thew new function `define-char-code-property' defines a character
code property.

** The new function `char-code-property-description' returns the
description string of a character code property.

that range have the same value.

** The value of the function `charset-id' is now always 0.

** The functions `register-char-codings' and `coding-system-spec' are deleted.
