@cindex Differences between Emacs 21 and Emacs 22
@cindex Emacs 22, new features in
@cindex Recently introduced features

@cindex Default features
Font Lock mode, auto-compression mode, and file name shadow mode are now
enabled by default.  On graphics displays it is now possible to follow
links with @kbd{mouse-1}, and the modeline of the selected window is now
highlighted.  Window fringes are now customizable.  The minibuffer
prompt is now displayed in a distinct face.

Emacs now reads abbrev definitions automatically at startup.  The
maximum size of buffers has been doubled and is now 256M on 32-bit
machines.  Grep mode is now separate from Compilation mode and has many
new specific options and commands.

The original Emacs macro system has been replaced by the new Kmacro
package, which provides many new commands and features and a simple
interface that uses the function keys F3 and F4.  Macros are now stored
in a macro ring, and can be debugged and edited interactively.

The GUD (Grand Unified Debugger) package can now be used with a full
graphical user interface to the debugger which provides many features
found in traditional development environments, making it easy to
manipulate breakpoints, add watch points, display the call stack, etc.
Breakpoints are now displayed in the source buffer.

@cindex GTK+ Toolkit
@cindex Drag-and-drop
@cindex Mouse wheel
Emacs can now be built with GTK+ widgets, and supports drag-and-drop
operation on X.  Mouse wheel support is now enabled by default.

Tramp and URL, as well as IDO, CUA, rcirc, ERC, conf-mode, python-mode,
table, tumme, SES, ruler, Flymake, Org, PGG, wdired, t-mouse, longlines,
dns-mode, savehist, Password, Printing, Reveal, etc.
