these properties are active.

alternative font registry names to try when looking for a font.

** Function `md5' calculates the MD5 "message digest"/"checksum",
currently using the `md5sum' program.

** Function `delete-frame' runs `delete-frame-hook' before actually
deleting the frame.  The hook is called with one arg, the frame
being deleted.

** `add-hook' now makes the hook local if called with a non-nil LOCAL arg.

+++
** The treatment of non-ASCII characters in search ranges has changed.
If a range in a regular expression or the arg of

message.

** The new macro `with-auto-compression-mode' allows evaluating an
expression with auto-compression-mode enabled.

** In image specifications, `:heuristic-mask' has been replaced
with the more general `:mask' property.

** Image specifications accept more `:algorithm's.

** A `?' can be used in a symbol name without escaping it with a
backslash.

- Function: remq ELT LIST

Return a copy of LIST with all occurences of ELT removed.  The
comparison is done with `eq'.

** The function `delete' now also works with vectors and strings.

** The meaning of the `:weakness WEAK' argument of make-hash-table
has been changed.

+++
** Function `aset' stores any multibyte character in any string
without signaling "Attempt to change char length of a string".  It may
convert a unibyte string to multibyte if necessary.

** The value of the `help-echo' text property is called as a function
or evaluated, if it is not a string already, to obtain a help string.

** Function `make-obsolete' now has an optional arg to say when the
function was declared obsolete.

** Function `plist-member' is renamed from `widget-plist-member' (which is
retained as an alias).

** Easy-menu's :filter now works as in XEmacs.
It takes the unconverted (i.e. XEmacs) form of the menu and the result

these properties are active.

** The change in the treatment of non_ASCII characters in search
ranges may affect some code.

** A non-nil value for the LOCAL arg of add-hook makes the hook
buffer-local even if `make-local-hook' hasn't been called, which might
make a difference to some code.
