** `movemail' defaults to supporting POP.  You can turn this off using
the --without-pop configure option, should that be necessary.

* Changes in Emacs 21.1

** New command M-x check-parens can be used to find unbalanced paren
groups and strings in buffers in Lisp mode (or other modes).

** You can now easily create new *Info* buffers using either M-x clone-buffer

- Mouse-2 on the buffer-name switches to the next buffer, and
M-mouse-2 switches to the previous buffer in the buffer list.

- Mouse-3 on the buffer-name displays a buffer menu.

- Mouse-1 on the read-only status in the mode line (`%' or `*')
toggles the read-only status.

- Mouse-3 on the mode name display a minor-mode menu.

** LessTif/Motif file selection dialog.

** Changes to Change Log mode

Change Log mode now adds a file's version number to change log entries
if user-option `change-log-version-info-enabled' is non-nil.

The search for a file's version number is performed based on regular

** A new command `view-emacs-problems' (C-h P) displays the PROBLEMS file.

** New modes and packages

*** bs.el is a new package for buffer selection similar to
list-buffers or electric-buffer-list.  Use M-x bs-show to display a
buffer menu with this package.  You can use M-x bs-customize to
customize the package.

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.
When you add a new item, please add it without either +++ or ---
so I will know I still need to look at it -- rms.

** Variables `beginning-of-defun' and `end-of-defun', can be used to
define handlers for the functions of the same names.  Major modes can
define these locally instead of rebinding M-C-a etc. if the normal
definitions of the functions are not appropriate for the mode.

* Changes in Emacs 21.1

** New user option `read-mail-command' specifies a command to use to
read mail from the menu etc.

** Changes in Outline mode.

There is now support for Imenu to index headings.  A new command
`outline-headers-as-kill' copies the visible headings in the region to
the kill ring, e.g. to produce a table of contents.

** New command M-x check-parens can be used to find unbalanced paren
groups and strings in buffers in Lisp mode (or other modes).

** Changes to Change Log mode and Add-Log functions

If you invoke `add-change-log-entry' from a backup file, it makes an
entry appropriate for the file's parent.  This is useful for making
log entries by comparing a version with deleted functions.

New command M-x change-log-merge merges another log into the current
buffer, fixing old-style date formats if necessary.

Change Log mode now adds a file's version number to change log entries
if user-option `change-log-version-info-enabled' is non-nil.

The search for a file's version number is performed based on regular

** A new command `view-emacs-problems' (C-h P) displays the PROBLEMS file.

** New modes and packages

*** `paragraph-indent-minor-mode' is a new minor mode supporting
paragraphs in the same style as `paragraph-indent-text-mode'.

*** bs.el is a new package for buffer selection similar to
list-buffers or electric-buffer-list.  Use M-x bs-show to display a
buffer menu with this package.  You can use M-x bs-customize to
customize the package.

** New function `keyword-p' is an efficient type predicate for keyword
symbols.

** Variables `beginning-of-defun' and `end-of-defun', can be used to
define handlers for the functions of the same names.  Major modes can
define these locally instead of rebinding M-C-a etc. if the normal
definitions of the functions are not appropriate for the mode.
