*** The new command bibtex-complete completes word fragment before
point according to context (bound to M-tab).

*** The new commands bibtex-find-entry and bibtex-find-crossref
locate entries and crossref'd entries.  Crossref fields are clickable
(bound to mouse-2, RET).

*** In BibTeX mode the command fill-paragraph (bound to M-q) fills
individual fields of a BibTeX entry.

*** The new command bibtex-validate-globally checks for duplicate keys
in multiple BibTeX files.  See also the new variables bibtex-files
and bibtex-file-path.

*** The new command bibtex-find-entry-globally searches BibTeX entries
in multiple BibTeX files.

*** The new command bibtex-copy-summary-as-kill pushes summary
of BibTeX entry to kill ring (bound to C-c C-t).

** The file selection dialog for Gtk+, Mac, W32 and Motif/Lesstif can be
disabled by customizing the variable `use-file-dialog'.

+++
** For Gtk+ version 2.4, you can make Emacs use the old file dialog
by setting the variable `use-old-gtk-file-dialog' to t.  Default is to use
the new dialog.

+++
** Emacs can produce an underscore-like (horizontal bar) cursor.
The underscore cursor is set by putting `(cursor-type . hbar)' in

prompts for a year and a week number, and moves to the first
day of that ISO week.

---
** The functions `holiday-easter-etc' and `holiday-advent' now take
arguments, and only report on the specified holiday rather than all.
This makes customization of the variable `christian-holidays' simpler,
but existing customizations may need to be updated.

** The function `simple-diary-display' now by default sets a header line.
This can be controlled through the variables `diary-header-line-flag'
and `diary-header-line-format'.

** F90 mode now has support for hs-minor-mode (hideshow).
It cannot deal with every code format, but ought to handle a sizeable
majority.

---
** Prolog mode has a new variable `prolog-font-lock-keywords'
to support use of font-lock.

+++
** `special-display-buffer-names' and `special-display-regexps' now

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

---
** list-buffers-noselect now takes an additional argument, BUFFER-LIST.
If it is non-nil, it specifies which buffers to list.

---

+++
** The new function syntax-after returns the syntax code
of the character after a specified buffer position, taking account
of text properties as well as the character code.
It returns the value compatibly with char-syntax, except
that the value can be a list (SYNTAX . MATCHER) which says
what the matching character is.

+++
** The new primitive `get-internal-run-time' returns the processor
run time used by Emacs since start-up.

+++
** The new function `called-interactively-p' does what many people
have mistakenly believed `interactively-p' did: it returns t if the
calling function was called through `call-interactively'.
This should only be used when you cannot add a new "interactively"
argument to the command.

+++
** An interactive specification may now use the code letter 'U' to get
the up-event that was discarded in case the last key sequence read for a
previous 'k' or 'K' argument was a down-event; otherwise nil is used.

+++
** The new primitive `set-file-times' sets a file's access and
modification times.  Magic file name handlers can handle this
operation.

** file-remote-p now returns an identifier for the remote system,
if the file is indeed remote.  (Before, the return value was t in
this case.)

+++
** The display space :width and :align-to text properties are now
supported on text terminals.

** New macro with-local-quit temporarily sets inhibit-quit to nil for use
around potentially blocking or long-running code in timers
and post-command-hooks.

+++
** New face attribute `min-colors' can be used to tailor the face color
to the number of colors supported by a display, and define the
foreground and background colors accordingly so that they look best on
a terminal that supports at least this many colors.  This is now the

+++
** The new function `file-remote-p' tests a file name and returns
non-nil if it specifies a remote file (one that Emacs accesses using
its own special methods and not directly through the file system).

---
** When a Lisp file uses CL functions at run-time, compiling the file
now issues warnings about these calls, unless the file performs
(require 'cl) when loaded.

point according to context (bound to M-tab).

*** The new commands bibtex-find-entry and bibtex-find-crossref
locate entries and crossref'd entries (bound to C-c C-s and C-c C-x).
Crossref fields are clickable (bound to mouse-2, RET).

*** In BibTeX mode the command fill-paragraph (bound to M-q) fills
individual fields of a BibTeX entry.

*** The new variables bibtex-files and bibtex-file-path define a set
of BibTeX files that are searched for entry keys.

*** The new command bibtex-validate-globally checks for duplicate keys
in multiple BibTeX files.

*** The new command bibtex-copy-summary-as-kill pushes summary
of BibTeX entry to kill ring (bound to C-c C-t).

disabled by customizing the variable `use-file-dialog'.

+++
** For Gtk+ version 2.4, you can make Emacs use the old file dialog
by setting the variable `x-use-old-gtk-file-dialog' to t.  Default is to use
the new dialog.

+++
** Emacs can produce an underscore-like (horizontal bar) cursor.
The underscore cursor is set by putting `(cursor-type . hbar)' in

prompts for a year and a week number, and moves to the first
day of that ISO week.

---
** The functions `holiday-easter-etc' and `holiday-advent' now take
optional arguments, in order to only report on the specified holiday
rather than all. This makes customization of variables such as
`christian-holidays' simpler.

** The function `simple-diary-display' now by default sets a header line.
This can be controlled through the variables `diary-header-line-flag'
and `diary-header-line-format'.

** F90 mode now has support for hs-minor-mode (hideshow).
It cannot deal with every code format, but ought to handle a sizeable
majority.

---
** The new function `f90-backslash-not-special' can be used to change
the syntax of backslashes in F90 buffers.

---
** Prolog mode has a new variable `prolog-font-lock-keywords'
to support use of font-lock.

+++
** `special-display-buffer-names' and `special-display-regexps' now

** `cfengine-mode' is a major mode for editing GNU Cfengine
configuration files.

+++
** read-from-minibuffer now accepts an additional argument KEEP-ALL
saying to put all inputs in the history list, even empty ones.

+++
** The new variable search-spaces-regexp controls how to search
for spaces in a regular expression.  If it is non-nil, it should be a
regular expression, and any series of spaces stands for that regular
expression.  If it is nil, spaces stand for themselves.

Spaces inside of constructs such as [..] and *, +, ? are never
replaced with search-spaces-regexp.

---
** list-buffers-noselect now takes an additional argument, BUFFER-LIST.
If it is non-nil, it specifies which buffers to list.

** The new function syntax-after returns the syntax code
of the character after a specified buffer position, taking account
of text properties as well as the character code.

calling function was called through `call-interactively'.  This should
only be used when you cannot add a new "interactive" argument to the
command.

+++
** The new function `assoc-string' replaces `assoc-ignore-case' and
`assoc-ignore-representation', which are still available, but have
been declared obsolete.

+++
** An interactive specification may now use the code letter 'U' to get
the up-event that was discarded in case the last key sequence read for a
previous 'k' or 'K' argument was a down-event; otherwise nil is used.

+++
** The new primitive `set-file-times' sets a file's access and
modification times.  Magic file name handlers can handle this
operation.

** The display space :width and :align-to text properties are now
supported on text terminals.

** New macro with-local-quit temporarily sets inhibit-quit to nil for use
around potentially blocking or long-running code in timers
and post-command-hooks.

** An unconditional face specification in defface (one where the DISPLAY part
is just t) applies to all cases and does not override subsequent entries.

+++
** New face attribute `min-colors' can be used to tailor the face color
to the number of colors supported by a display, and define the
foreground and background colors accordingly so that they look best on
a terminal that supports at least this many colors.  This is now the
