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

** There are new configure options associated with the support for
images and toolkit scrollbars.  Use the --help option to list them.

** There is a new option `without-xim' that instructs Emacs to not
use X Input Methods (XIM), if they these are available.


* Changes in Emacs 21.1

** Item Save Options on the Options menu allows saving options set
using that menu.

Emacs automatically detects terminals that are able to display colors.
Faces with a weight greater than normal are displayed extra-bright, if
the terminal supports it.  Faces with a weight less than normal and
italic faces are displayed dimmed, if the terminal supports it.
Underlined faces are displayed underlined if possible.  Other face
attributes like overlines, strike-through, box are ignored.

** Sound support

Emacs supports playing sound files on GNU/Linux and the free BSDs
(Voxware driver and native BSD driver, aka as Luigi's driver).

you complete mail aliases in the text, analogous to
lisp-complete-symbol.

** Emacs now resizes mini-windows if appropriate.

If a message is longer than one line, or mini-buffer contents are
longer than one line, Emacs now resizes the mini-window unless it is
on a frame of its own.  You can control the maximum mini-window size
by setting the following variable:

- User option: max-mini-window-height

Maximum height for resizing mini-windows.  If a float, it specifies a
fraction of the mini-window frame's height.  If an integer, it

** New language environments `Polish', `Latin-8' and `Latin-9'.
Latin-8 and Latin-9 correspond respectively to the ISO character sets
8859-14 (Celtic) and 8859-15 (updated Latin-1, with the Euro sign).
There is currently no specific input method support for them.

** Fortran mode has a new command `fortran-strip-sqeuence-nos' to
remove text past column 72.  The syntax class of `\' in Fortran is now
appropriate for C-style escape sequences in strings.

** SGML mode's default `sgml-validate-command' is now `nsgmls'.
