*** The option `mouse-region-delete-keys' has been deleted.

** Selection changes.

The way Emacs interacts with the clipboard and primary selection, by
default, is now similar to other X applications.  In particular, kill
and yank use the clipboard, in addition to the primary selection.

*** `select-active-regions' now defaults to t.

*** `x-select-enable-clipboard' now defaults to t.

*** `mouse-drag-copy-region' now defaults to nil.

*** `mouse-2' is now bound to `mouse-yank-primary'.
