must remove older versions of cua.el or cua-mode.el as well as the
loading and customization of those packages from the .emacs file.

** The new package dns-mode.el add syntax highlight of DNS master files.
The key binding C-c C-s (`dns-mode-soa-increment-serial') can be used
to increment the SOA serial.

the syntax of backslashes in F90 buffers.

selected window without impacting the order of `buffer-list'.

** Org mode is now part of the Emacs distribution

Org mode is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, and
doing project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system.
It also contains a plain-text table editor with spreadsheet-like
capabilities.

The Org mode table editor can be integrated into any major mode by
activating the minor Orgtbl-mode.

The documentation for org-mode is in a separate manual; within Emacs,
type "C-h i m org RET" to read that manual.  A reference card is
available in `etc/orgcard.tex' and `etc/orgcard.ps'.

** Reftex mode changes
+++
*** Changes to RefTeX's table of contents

The new command keys "<" and ">" in the TOC buffer promote/demote the
section at point or all sections in the current region, with full
support for multifile documents.

The new command `reftex-toc-recenter' (`C-c -') shows the current
section in the TOC buffer without selecting the TOC window.
Recentering can happen automatically in idle time when the option
`reftex-auto-recenter-toc' is turned on.  The highlight in the TOC
buffer stays when the focus moves to a different window.  A dedicated
frame can show the TOC with the current section always automatically
highlighted.  The frame is created and deleted from the toc buffer
with the `d' key.

The toc window can be split off horizontally instead of vertically.
See new option `reftex-toc-split-windows-horizontally'.

Labels can be renamed globally from the table of contents using the
key `M-%'.

The new command `reftex-goto-label' jumps directly to a label
location.

+++
*** Changes related to citations and BibTeX database files

Commands that insert a citation now prompt for optional arguments when
called with a prefix argument.  Related new options are
`reftex-cite-prompt-optional-args' and `reftex-cite-cleanup-optional-args'.

The new command `reftex-create-bibtex-file' creates a BibTeX database
with all entries referenced in the current document.  The keys "e" and
"E" allow to produce a BibTeX database file from entries marked in a
citation selection buffer.

The command `reftex-citation' uses the word in the buffer before the
cursor as a default search string.

The support for chapterbib has been improved.  Different chapters can
now use BibTeX or an explicit `thebibliography' environment.

The macros which specify the bibliography file (like \bibliography)
can be configured with the new option `reftex-bibliography-commands'.

Support for jurabib has been added.

+++
*** Global index matched may be verified with a user function

During global indexing, a user function can verify an index match.
See new option `reftex-index-verify-function'.

+++
*** Parsing documents with many labels can be sped up.

Operating in a document with thousands of labels can be sped up
considerably by allowing RefTeX to derive the type of a label directly
from the label prefix like `eq:' or `fig:'.  The option
`reftex-trust-label-prefix' needs to be configured in order to enable
this feature.  While the speed-up is significant, this may reduce the
quality of the context offered by RefTeX to describe a label.

+++
*** Miscellaneous changes

The macros which input a file in LaTeX (like \input, \include) can be
configured in the new option `reftex-include-file-commands'.

RefTeX supports global incremental search.

+++
** Prolog mode has a new variable `prolog-font-lock-keywords'
to support use of font-lock.

** HTML/SGML changes:

return window edges in units of pixels, rather than columns and lines.

+++
*** The new macro `with-selected-window' temporarily switches the
selected window without impacting the order of `buffer-list'.
It saves and restores the current buffer, too.

+++
*** `select-window' takes an optional second argument NORECORD.

This is like `switch-to-buffer'.

+++
*** `save-selected-window' now saves and restores the selected window
of every frame.  This way, it restores everything that can be changed
by calling `select-window'.  It also saves and restores the current
buffer.

+++
*** `set-window-buffer' has an optional argument KEEP-MARGINS.
