** New package benchmark.el contains simple support for convenient
timing measurements of code (including the garbage collection component).


* Lisp Changes in Emacs 21.4

** New function `string-to-multibyte' converts a unibyte string to a
multibyte string with the same individual character codes.

** New variables `gc-elapsed' and `gcs-done' provide extra information

* Lisp Changes in Emacs 21.4

** New function `set-process-filter-multibyte' sets the multibyteness
of a string given to a process's filter.

** New function `process-filter-multibyte-p' returns t if
a string given to a process's filter is multibyte.

** A filter function of a process is called with a multibyte string if
the filter's multibyteness is t.  That multibyteness is decided by the
value of `default-enable-multibyte-characters' when the process is
created and can be changed later by `set-process-filter-multibyte'.

** If a process's coding system is raw-text or no-conversion and its
buffer is multibyte, the output of the process is at first converted
to multibyte by `string-to-multibyte' then inserted in the buffer.
Previously, it was converted to multibyte by `string-as-multibyte',
which was not compatible with the behaviour of file reading.

multibyte string with the same individual character codes.
