Update documentation status.

**** The dimension of a charset is now 1, 2, 3, or 4, 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.

*** There are new language environments for Chinese-GBK,
Chinese-GB18030, Khmer, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, Oriya, Telugu,
Sinhala, and TaiViet.

*** The minor modes unify-8859-on-encoding-mode and
unify-8859-on-decoding-mode are obsolete.

*** `ucs-insert' is bound to `C-x 8 RET' and in addition to hex numbers
accepts numbers in hash notation (e.g. #o21430 for octal, or #10r8984 for
decimal).  It also accepts Unicode character names with completion.

*** The `cyrillic-translit' input method supports many new characters.
Common typographical characters available from Unicode were added to
`cyrillic-translit': punctuation marks, accented characters, fractions,
and others.

Use the new function font-family-list (see Lisp Changes, below).

** Internationalization changes

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

*** The functions `register-char-codings' and `coding-system-spec'
have been removed.

*** The cpXXX coding systems are now supported automatically.
The functions cp-...-codepage, which you had to use in Emacs 22 to
enable support for these coding systems, have been deleted.

*** The following features have been removed.  They were used for
displaying various scripts with specific fonts, and are no longer
needed now that OpenType font support is available:

**** `devanagari' and `devan-util', and all associated devanagari-* and
