`compilation-mode-font-lock-keywords' and it nicely handles all the checks
that configure outputs and -o options so you see at a glance where you are.

The new file etc/compilation.txt gives examples of each type of message.

** M-x grep has been adapted to new compile

Hits are fontified in green, and hits in binary files in orange.  Grep buffers
can be saved and automatically revisited with the new Grep mode.

** A new minor mode `next-error-follow-minor-mode' can be used in
compilation-mode, grep-mode, occur-mode, and diff-mode (i.e. all the
modes that can use `next-error').  In this mode, cursor motion in the
buffer causes automatic display in another window of the corresponding

** M-% typed in isearch mode invokes `query-replace' or
`query-replace-regexp' (depending on search mode) with the current
search string used as the string to replace.

+++
** Yanking text now discards certain text properties that can
be inconvenient when you did not expect them.  The variable
`yank-excluded-properties' specifies which ones.  Insertion
of register contents and rectangles also discards these properties.

from the file name or buffer contents.

+++
** `xml-mode' is now an alias for `sgml-mode', which has XML support.

+++
** New user option `isearch-resume-enabled'.
This option can be disabled, to avoid the normal behavior of isearch
which puts calls to `isearch-resume' in the command history.

---
** Lisp mode now uses font-lock-doc-face for the docstrings.

---
** Perl mode has a new variable `perl-indent-continued-arguments'.

+++
** New user option `inhibit-startup-buffer-menu'.
When loading many files, for instance with `emacs *', Emacs normally
displays a buffer menu.  This option turns the buffer menu off.

** Compilation mode enhancements:

*** New user option `compilation-environment'.
This option allows you to specify environment variables for inferior
compilation processes without affecting the environment that all
subprocesses inherit.

*** New options `next-error-highlight' and `next-error-highlight-no-select'
specify the method of highlighting of the corresponding source line
in new face `next-error'.

** Grep has been decoupled from compilation mode setup.

*** There's a new separate package grep.el.

*** Grep commands now have their own submenu and customization group.

*** The new variables `grep-window-height', `grep-auto-highlight', and
`grep-scroll-output' can be used to override the corresponding
compilation mode settings for grep commands.

*** New option `grep-highlight-matches' highlightes matches in *grep*
buffer.  It uses a special feature of some grep programs which accept
--color option to output markers around matches.  When going to the next
match with `next-error' the exact match is highlighted in the source
buffer.  Otherwise, if `grep-highlight-matches' is nil, the whole
source line is highlighted.

*** New key bindings in grep output window:
SPC and DEL scrolls window up and down.  C-n and C-p moves to next and
previous match in the grep window.  RET jumps to the source line of
the current match.  `n' and `p' shows next and previous match in
other window, but does not switch buffer.  `{' and `}' jumps to the
previous or next file in the grep output.  TAB also jumps to the next
file.

** Rmail now displays 5-digit message ids in its summary buffer.
