** Building with -DENABLE_CHECKING does not automatically build with union
types any more.  Add -DUSE_LISP_UNION_TYPE if you want union types.


* Changes in Emacs 21.4

** You can now follow links by clicking Mouse-1 on the link.

Traditionally, Emacs uses a Mouse-1 click to set point and a Mouse-2
click to follow a link, whereas most other applications use a Mouse-1

** `cfengine-mode' is a major mode for editing GNU Cfengine
configuration files.

* Lisp Changes in Emacs 21.4

** Lisp code can now test if a given buffer position is inside a
clickable link with the new function `mouse-on-link-p'.  This is the
function used by the new `mouse-1-click-follows-link' functionality.

+++
** `load-history' can now have elements of the form (t . FUNNAME),
which means FUNNAME was previously defined as an autoload (before the
current file redefined it).

+++
** New Lisp library testcover.el works with edebug to help you determine
whether you've tested all your Lisp code.  Function testcover-start
instruments all functions in a given file.  Then test your code.  Function

** calculator.el now has radix grouping mode.  In this mode a
separator character is used between every few digits, making it
easier to indicate byte boundries etc.  See the documentation of
the `calculator-radix-grouping-mode' custom variable.
