-show where coverage is lacking.  Command testcover-next-mark (bind it to
-a key!) will move point forward to the next spot that has a splotch.
-
-Normally, a red splotch indicates the form was never completely
-evaluated; a brown splotch means it always evaluated to the same
-value.  The red splotches are skipped for forms that can't possibly
-complete their evaluation, such as `error'.  The brown splotches are
-skipped for forms that are expected to always evaluate to the same
-value, such as (setq x 14).
-
-For difficult cases, you can add do-nothing macros to your code to
-help out the test coverage tool.  The macro `noreturn' suppresses a
-red splotch.  It is an error if the argument to `noreturn' does
-return.  The macro 1value suppresses a brown splotch for its argument.
-This macro is a no-op except during test-coverage -- then it signals
-an error if the argument actually returns differing values.

-** New `yank-handler' text property can be used to control how
-previously killed text on the kill-ring is reinserted.
-
-The value of the yank-handler property must be a list with one to four
-elements with the following format:
-  (FUNCTION PARAM NOEXCLUDE UNDO).
-
-The `insert-for-yank' function looks for a yank-handler property on
-the first character on its string argument (typically the first
-element on the kill-ring).  If a yank-handler property is found,
-the normal behavior of `insert-for-yank' is modified in various ways:
-
-  When FUNCTION is present and non-nil, it is called instead of `insert'
-to insert the string.  FUNCTION takes one argument--the object to insert.
-  If PARAM is present and non-nil, it replaces STRING as the object
-passed to FUNCTION (or `insert'); for example, if FUNCTION is
-`yank-rectangle', PARAM should be a list of strings to insert as a
-rectangle.
-  If NOEXCLUDE is present and non-nil, the normal removal of the
-yank-excluded-properties is not performed; instead FUNCTION is
-responsible for removing those properties.  This may be necessary
-if FUNCTION adjusts point before or after inserting the object.
-  If UNDO is present and non-nil, it is a function that will be called
-by `yank-pop' to undo the insertion of the current object.  It is
-called with two arguments, the start and end of the current region.
-FUNCTION can set `yank-undo-function' to override the UNDO value.
-
-*** The functions kill-new, kill-append, and kill-region now have an
-optional argument to specify the yank-handler text property to put on
-the killed text.
-
-*** The function yank-pop will now use a non-nil value of the variable
-`yank-undo-function' (instead of delete-region) to undo the previous
-yank or yank-pop command (or a call to insert-for-yank).  The function
-insert-for-yank automatically sets that variable according to the UNDO
-element of the string argument's yank-handler text property if present.
-
-*** The function `insert-for-yank' now supports strings where the
-`yank-handler' property does not span the first character of the
-string.  The old behavior is available if you call
-`insert-for-yank-1' instead.
-
-*** The new function insert-for-yank normally works like `insert', but
-removes the text properties in the `yank-excluded-properties' list.
-However, the insertion of the text can be modified by a `yank-handler'

-modification times.  Magic file name handlers can handle this
-operation.
-
-+++
-*** 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).
-The value in that case is an identifier for the remote file system.

-*** `auto-save-file-format' has been renamed to
-`buffer-auto-save-file-format' and made into a permanent local.

-+++
-*** Functions `file-name-sans-extension' and `file-name-extension' now
-ignore the leading dots in file names, so that file names such as
-`.emacs' are treated as extensionless.
-
-+++
-*** copy-file now takes an additional option arg MUSTBENEW.
-
-This argument works like the MUSTBENEW argument of write-file.
-
-+++
-*** If the second argument to `copy-file' is the name of a directory,
-the file is copied to that directory instead of signaling an error.
-
-+++
-*** `visited-file-modtime' and `calendar-time-from-absolute' now return
-a list of two integers, instead of a cons.
-
-+++
-*** `file-chase-links' now takes an optional second argument LIMIT which
-specifies the maximum number of links to chase through.  If after that
-many iterations the file name obtained is still a symbolic link,
-`file-chase-links' returns it anyway.
-
-+++
-*** The new hook `before-save-hook' is invoked by `basic-save-buffer'
-before saving buffers.  This allows packages to perform various final
-tasks, for example; it can be used by the copyright package to make
-sure saved files have the current year in any copyright headers.
-
-+++
-*** If a buffer sets buffer-save-without-query to non-nil,
-save-some-buffers will always save that buffer without asking
-(if it's modified).
-
-*** New function `locate-file' searches for a file in a list of directories.
-`locate-file' accepts a name of a file to search (a string), and two
-lists: a list of directories to search in and a list of suffixes to
-try; typical usage might use `exec-path' and `load-path' for the list
-of directories, and `exec-suffixes' and `load-suffixes' for the list
-of suffixes.  The function also accepts a predicate argument to
-further filter candidate files.
-
-One advantage of using this function is that the list of suffixes in
-`exec-suffixes' is OS-dependant, so this function will find
-executables without polluting Lisp code with OS dependancies.
-
----
-*** The precedence of file-name-handlers has been changed.
-Instead of blindly choosing the first handler that matches,
-find-file-name-handler now gives precedence to a file-name handler
-that matches near the end of the file name.  More specifically, the
-handler whose (match-beginning 0) is the largest is chosen.
-In case of ties, the old "first matched" rule applies.
-
-+++
-*** A file name handler can declare which operations it handles.
-
-You do this by putting an `operation' property on the handler name
-symbol.  The property value should be a list of the operations that
-the handler really handles.  It won't be called for any other
-operations.
-
-This is useful for autoloaded handlers, to prevent them from being
-autoloaded when not really necessary.
-
-** Input changes:
-
-+++
-*** An interactive specification can 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 interactive-specification `G' reads a file name
-much like `F', but if the input is a directory name (even defaulted),
-it returns just the directory name.
-
----
-*** Functions y-or-n-p, read-char, read-key-sequence and the like, that
-display a prompt but don't use the minibuffer, now display the prompt
-using the text properties (esp. the face) of the prompt string.
-
-+++
-*** (while-no-input BODY...) runs BODY, but only so long as no input
-arrives.  If the user types or clicks anything, BODY stops as if a
-quit had occurred.  while-no-input returns the value of BODY, if BODY
-finishes.  It returns nil if BODY was aborted.
-
-** Minibuffer changes:
-
-*** The new function `minibufferp' returns non-nil if its optional
-buffer argument is a minibuffer.  If the argument is omitted, it
-defaults to the current buffer.
-
-+++
-*** New function minibuffer-selected-window returns the window which
-was selected when entering the minibuffer.
-
-+++
-*** read-from-minibuffer now accepts an additional argument KEEP-ALL
-saying to put all inputs in the history list, even empty ones.
-
-+++
-*** The `read-file-name' function now takes an additional argument which
-specifies a predicate which the file name read must satify.  The
-new variable `read-file-name-predicate' contains the predicate argument
-while reading the file name from the minibuffer; the predicate in this
-variable is used by read-file-name-internal to filter the completion list.
-
----
-*** The new variable `read-file-name-function' can be used by lisp code
-to override the internal read-file-name function.
-
-+++
-*** The new variable `read-file-name-completion-ignore-case' specifies
-whether completion ignores case when reading a file name with the
-`read-file-name' function.
-
-+++
-*** The new function `read-directory-name' can be used instead of
-`read-file-name' to read a directory name; when used, completion
-will only show directories.
-
-** Searching and matching changes:
-
-+++
-*** New function `looking-back' checks whether a regular expression matches
-the text before point.  Specifying the LIMIT argument bounds how far
-back the match can start; this is a way to keep it from taking too long.
-
-+++
-*** 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.
-
-+++
-*** There are now two new regular expression operators, \_< and \_>,
-for matching the beginning and end of a symbol.  A symbol is a
-non-empty sequence of either word or symbol constituent characters, as
-specified by the syntax table.
-
-+++
-*** skip-chars-forward and skip-chars-backward now handle
-character classes such as [:alpha:], along with individual characters
-and ranges.
-
----
-*** In `replace-match', the replacement text no longer inherits
-properties from surrounding text.
-
-+++
-*** The list returned by `(match-data t)' now has the buffer as a final
-element, if the last match was on a buffer.  `set-match-data'
-accepts such a list for restoring the match state.
-
----
-*** rx.el has new corresponding `symbol-end' and `symbol-start' elements.
-
-+++
-*** The default value of `sentence-end' is now defined using the new
-variable `sentence-end-without-space', which contains such characters
-that end a sentence without following spaces.
-
-The function `sentence-end' should be used to obtain the value of the
-variable `sentence-end'.  If the variable `sentence-end' is nil, then
-this function returns the regexp constructed from the variables
-`sentence-end-without-period', `sentence-end-double-space' and
-`sentence-end-without-space'.
-
-+++
-** Enhancements to keymaps.
-
-*** Cleaner way to enter key sequences.
-
-You can enter a constant key sequence in a more natural format, the
-same one used for saving keyboard macros, using the macro `kbd'.  For
-example,
-
-(kbd "C-x C-f") => "\^x\^f"
-
-*** Interactive commands can be remapped through keymaps.
-
-This is an alternative to using defadvice or substitute-key-definition
-to modify the behavior of a key binding using the normal keymap
-binding and lookup functionality.
-
-When a key sequence is bound to a command, and that command is
-remapped to another command, that command is run instead of the
-original command.
-
-Example:
-Suppose that minor mode my-mode has defined the commands
-my-kill-line and my-kill-word, and it wants C-k (and any other key
-bound to kill-line) to run the command my-kill-line instead of
-kill-line, and likewise it wants to run my-kill-word instead of
-kill-word.
-
-Instead of rebinding C-k and the other keys in the minor mode map,
-command remapping allows you to directly map kill-line into
-my-kill-line and kill-word into my-kill-word through the minor mode
-map using define-key:
-
-   (define-key my-mode-map [remap kill-line] 'my-kill-line)
-   (define-key my-mode-map [remap kill-word] 'my-kill-word)
-
-Now, when my-mode is enabled, and the user enters C-k or M-d,
-the commands my-kill-line and my-kill-word are run.
-
-Notice that only one level of remapping is supported.  In the above
-example, this means that if my-kill-line is remapped to other-kill,
-then C-k still runs my-kill-line.
-
-The following changes have been made to provide command remapping:
-
-- Command remappings are defined using `define-key' with a prefix-key
-  `remap', i.e. `(define-key MAP [remap CMD] DEF)' remaps command CMD
-  to definition DEF in keymap MAP.  The definition is not limited to
-  another command; it can be anything accepted for a normal binding.
-
-- The new function `command-remapping' returns the binding for a
-  remapped command in the current keymaps, or nil if not remapped.
-
-- key-binding now remaps interactive commands unless the optional
-  third argument NO-REMAP is non-nil.
-
-- where-is-internal now returns nil for a remapped command (e.g.
-  kill-line if my-mode is enabled), and the actual key binding for
-  the command it is remapped to (e.g. C-k for my-kill-line).
-  It also has a new optional fifth argument, NO-REMAP, which inhibits
-  remapping if non-nil (e.g. it returns C-k for kill-line and
-  <kill-line> for my-kill-line).
-
-- The new variable `this-original-command' contains the original
-  command before remapping.  It is equal to `this-command' when the
-  command was not remapped.
-
-*** If text has a `keymap' property, that keymap takes precedence
-over minor mode keymaps.
-
-*** The `keymap' property now also works at the ends of overlays and
-text-properties, according to their stickiness.  This also means that it
-works with empty overlays.  The same hold for the `local-map' property.
-
-*** Dense keymaps now handle inheritance correctly.
-Previously a dense keymap would hide all of the simple-char key
-bindings of the parent keymap.

 change group you start for any given buffer should be the last one
 finished.
 
+** Buffer-related changes:
+
+---
+*** `list-buffers-noselect' now takes an additional argument, BUFFER-LIST.
+
+If it is non-nil, it specifies which buffers to list.
+
++++
+*** `kill-buffer-hook' is now a permanent local.
+
++++
+*** The new function `buffer-local-value' returns the buffer-local
+binding of VARIABLE (a symbol) in buffer BUFFER.  If VARIABLE does not
+have a buffer-local binding in buffer BUFFER, it returns the default
+value of VARIABLE instead.
+
+** Local variables lists:
+
++++
+*** Text properties in local variables.
+
+A file local variables list cannot specify a string with text
+properties--any specified text properties are discarded.
+
++++
+*** The variable `safe-local-eval-forms' specifies a list of forms that
+are ok to evaluate when they appear in an `eval' local variables
+specification.  Normally Emacs asks for confirmation before evaluating
+such a form, but if the form appears in this list, no confirmation is
+needed.
+
+---
+*** If a function has a non-nil `safe-local-eval-function' property,
+that means it is ok to evaluate some calls to that function when it
+appears in an `eval' local variables specification.  If the property
+is t, then any form calling that function with constant arguments is
+ok.  If the property is a function or list of functions, they are called
+with the form as argument, and if any returns t, the form is ok to call.
+
+If the form is not "ok to call", that means Emacs asks for
+confirmation as before.
+
+** Searching and matching changes:
+
++++
+*** New function `looking-back' checks whether a regular expression matches
+the text before point.  Specifying the LIMIT argument bounds how far
+back the match can start; this is a way to keep it from taking too long.
+
++++
+*** 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 inside loops such as
+`*', `+', and `?' are never replaced with `search-spaces-regexp'.
+
++++
+*** New regular expression operators, `\_<' and `\_>'.
+
+These match the beginning and end of a symbol.  A symbol is a
+non-empty sequence of either word or symbol constituent characters, as
+specified by the syntax table.
+
+---
+*** rx.el has new corresponding `symbol-end' and `symbol-start' elements.
+
++++
+*** `skip-chars-forward' and `skip-chars-backward' now handle
+character classes such as `[:alpha:]', along with individual
+characters and ranges.
+
+---
+*** In `replace-match', the replacement text no longer inherits
+properties from surrounding text.
+
++++
+*** The list returned by `(match-data t)' now has the buffer as a final
+element, if the last match was on a buffer.  `set-match-data'
+accepts such a list for restoring the match state.
+
++++
+*** The default value of `sentence-end' is now defined using the new
+variable `sentence-end-without-space', which contains such characters
+that end a sentence without following spaces.
+
+The function `sentence-end' should be used to obtain the value of the
+variable `sentence-end'.  If the variable `sentence-end' is nil, then
+this function returns the regexp constructed from the variables
+`sentence-end-without-period', `sentence-end-double-space' and
+`sentence-end-without-space'.
+
+** Undo changes:
+
++++
+*** `buffer-undo-list' can allows programmable elements.
+
+These elements have the form (apply FUNNAME . ARGS), where FUNNAME is
+a symbol other than t or nil.  That stands for a high-level change
+that should be undone by evaluating (apply FUNNAME ARGS).
+
+These entries can also have the form (apply DELTA BEG END FUNNAME . ARGS)
+which indicates that the change which took place was limited to the
+range BEG...END and increased the buffer size by DELTA.
+
++++
+*** If the buffer's undo list for the current command gets longer than
+`undo-outer-limit', garbage collection empties it.  This is to prevent
+it from using up the available memory and choking Emacs.
+
++++
+** New `yank-handler' text property can be used to control how
+previously killed text on the kill ring is reinserted.
+
+The value of the `yank-handler' property must be a list with one to four
+elements with the following format:
+  (FUNCTION PARAM NOEXCLUDE UNDO).
+
+The `insert-for-yank' function looks for a yank-handler property on
+the first character on its string argument (typically the first
+element on the kill-ring).  If a `yank-handler' property is found,
+the normal behavior of `insert-for-yank' is modified in various ways:
+
+  When FUNCTION is present and non-nil, it is called instead of `insert'
+to insert the string.  FUNCTION takes one argument--the object to insert.
+  If PARAM is present and non-nil, it replaces STRING as the object
+passed to FUNCTION (or `insert'); for example, if FUNCTION is
+`yank-rectangle', PARAM should be a list of strings to insert as a
+rectangle.
+  If NOEXCLUDE is present and non-nil, the normal removal of the
+`yank-excluded-properties' is not performed; instead FUNCTION is
+responsible for removing those properties.  This may be necessary
+if FUNCTION adjusts point before or after inserting the object.
+  If UNDO is present and non-nil, it is a function that will be called
+by `yank-pop' to undo the insertion of the current object.  It is
+called with two arguments, the start and end of the current region.
+FUNCTION can set `yank-undo-function' to override the UNDO value.
+
+*** The functions `kill-new', `kill-append', and `kill-region' now have an
+optional argument to specify the `yank-handler' text property to put on
+the killed text.
+
+*** The function `yank-pop' will now use a non-nil value of the variable
+`yank-undo-function' (instead of `delete-region') to undo the previous
+`yank' or `yank-pop' command (or a call to `insert-for-yank').  The function
+`insert-for-yank' automatically sets that variable according to the UNDO
+element of the string argument's `yank-handler' text property if present.
+
+*** The function `insert-for-yank' now supports strings where the
+`yank-handler' property does not span the first character of the
+string.  The old behavior is available if you call
+`insert-for-yank-1' instead.
+
+** Syntax table changes:
+
++++
+*** The macro `with-syntax-table' no longer copies the syntax table.
+
++++
+*** 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.
+
++++
+*** `syntax-class' extracts the class of a syntax code (as returned
+by `syntax-after').
+
+*** The new function `syntax-ppss' rovides an efficient way to find the
+current syntactic context at point.
+
+** File operation changes:
+
++++
+*** New vars `exec-suffixes' and `load-suffixes' used when
+searching for an executable or an Emacs Lisp file.
+
++++
+*** The new primitive `set-file-times' sets a file's access and
+modification times.  Magic file name handlers can handle this
+operation.
+
++++
+*** 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).
+The value in that case is an identifier for the remote file system.
+
++++
+*** `buffer-auto-save-file-format' is the new name for what was
+formerly called `auto-save-file-format'.  It is now a permanent local.
+
++++
+*** Functions `file-name-sans-extension' and `file-name-extension' now
+ignore the leading dots in file names, so that file names such as
+`.emacs' are treated as extensionless.
+
++++
+*** `copy-file' now takes an additional option arg MUSTBENEW.
+
+This argument works like the MUSTBENEW argument of write-file.
+
++++
+*** `visited-file-modtime' and `calendar-time-from-absolute' now return
+a list of two integers, instead of a cons.
+
++++
+*** `file-chase-links' now takes an optional second argument LIMIT which
+specifies the maximum number of links to chase through.  If after that
+many iterations the file name obtained is still a symbolic link,
+`file-chase-links' returns it anyway.
+
++++
+*** The new hook `before-save-hook' is invoked by `basic-save-buffer'
+before saving buffers.  This allows packages to perform various final
+tasks, for example; it can be used by the copyright package to make
+sure saved files have the current year in any copyright headers.
+
++++
+*** If `buffer-save-without-query' is non-nil in some buffer,
+`save-some-buffers' will always save that buffer without asking (if
+it's modified).
+
+*** New function `locate-file' searches for a file in a list of directories.
+`locate-file' accepts a name of a file to search (a string), and two
+lists: a list of directories to search in and a list of suffixes to
+try; typical usage might use `exec-path' and `load-path' for the list
+of directories, and `exec-suffixes' and `load-suffixes' for the list
+of suffixes.  The function also accepts a predicate argument to
+further filter candidate files.
+
+One advantage of using this function is that the list of suffixes in
+`exec-suffixes' is OS-dependant, so this function will find
+executables without polluting Lisp code with OS dependancies.
+
+---
+*** The precedence of file name handlers has been changed.
+
+Instead of choosing the first handler that matches,
+`find-file-name-handler' now gives precedence to a file name handler
+that matches nearest the end of the file name.  More precisely, the
+handler whose (match-beginning 0) is the largest is chosen.  In case
+of ties, the old "first matched" rule applies.
+
++++
+*** A file name handler can declare which operations it handles.
+
+You do this by putting an `operation' property on the handler name
+symbol.  The property value should be a list of the operations that
+the handler really handles.  It won't be called for any other
+operations.
+
+This is useful for autoloaded handlers, to prevent them from being
+autoloaded when not really necessary.
+
+** Input changes:
+
++++
+*** An interactive specification can 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 interactive-specification `G' reads a file name
+much like `F', but if the input is a directory name (even defaulted),
+it returns just the directory name.
+
+---
+*** Functions `y-or-n-p', `read-char', `read-key-sequence' and the like, that
+display a prompt but don't use the minibuffer, now display the prompt
+using the text properties (esp. the face) of the prompt string.
+
++++
+*** (while-no-input BODY...) runs BODY, but only so long as no input
+arrives.  If the user types or clicks anything, BODY stops as if a
+quit had occurred.  `while-no-input' returns the value of BODY, if BODY
+finishes.  It returns nil if BODY was aborted.
+
+** Minibuffer changes:
+
++++
+*** The new function `minibufferp' returns non-nil if its optional
+buffer argument is a minibuffer.  If the argument is omitted, it
+defaults to the current buffer.
+
++++
+*** New function `minibuffer-selected-window' returns the window which
+was selected when entering the minibuffer.
+
++++
+*** `read-from-minibuffer' now accepts an additional argument KEEP-ALL
+saying to put all inputs in the history list, even empty ones.
+
++++
+*** The `read-file-name' function now takes an additional argument which
+specifies a predicate which the file name read must satify.  The
+new variable `read-file-name-predicate' contains the predicate argument
+while reading the file name from the minibuffer; the predicate in this
+variable is used by read-file-name-internal to filter the completion list.
+
+---
+*** The new variable `read-file-name-function' can be used by Lisp code
+to override the built-in `read-file-name' function.
+
++++
+*** The new variable `read-file-name-completion-ignore-case' specifies
+whether completion ignores case when reading a file name with the
+`read-file-name' function.
+
++++
+*** The new function `read-directory-name' for reading a directory name.
+
+It is like `read-file-name' except that the defaulting works better
+for directories, and completion inside it shows only directories.
+
+** Completion changes:
+
++++
+*** The functions `all-completions' and `try-completion' now accept lists
+of strings as well as hash-tables additionally to alists, obarrays
+and functions.  Furthermore, the function `test-completion' is now
+exported to Lisp.  The keys in alists and hash tables can be either
+strings or symbols, which are automatically converted with to strings.
+
++++
+*** The new macro `dynamic-completion-table' supports using functions
+as a dynamic completion table.
+
+  (dynamic-completion-table FUN)
+
+FUN is called with one argument, the string for which completion is required,
+and it should return an alist containing all the intended possible
+completions.  This alist can be a full list of possible completions so that FUN
+can ignore the value of its argument.  If completion is performed in the
+minibuffer, FUN will be called in the buffer from which the minibuffer was
+entered.  `dynamic-completion-table' then computes the completion.
+
++++
+*** The new macro `lazy-completion-table' initializes a variable
+as a lazy completion table.
+
+  (lazy-completion-table VAR FUN &rest ARGS)
+
+If the completion table VAR is used for the first time (e.g., by passing VAR
+as an argument to `try-completion'), the function FUN is called with arguments
+ARGS. FUN must return the completion table that will be stored in VAR. If
+completion is requested in the minibuffer, FUN will be called in the buffer
+from which the minibuffer was entered. The return value of
+`lazy-completion-table' must be used to initialize the value of VAR.
+
++++
+** Enhancements to keymaps.
+
+*** Cleaner way to enter key sequences.
+
+You can enter a constant key sequence in a more natural format, the
+same one used for saving keyboard macros, using the macro `kbd'.  For
+example,
+
+(kbd "C-x C-f") => "\^x\^f"
+
+*** Interactive commands can be remapped through keymaps.
+
+This is an alternative to using `defadvice' or `substitute-key-definition'
+to modify the behavior of a key binding using the normal keymap
+binding and lookup functionality.
+
+When a key sequence is bound to a command, and that command is
+remapped to another command, that command is run instead of the
+original command.
+
+Example:
+Suppose that minor mode `my-mode' has defined the commands
+`my-kill-line' and `my-kill-word', and it wants C-k (and any other key
+bound to `kill-line') to run the command `my-kill-line' instead of
+`kill-line', and likewise it wants to run `my-kill-word' instead of
+`kill-word'.
+
+Instead of rebinding C-k and the other keys in the minor mode map,
+command remapping allows you to directly map `kill-line' into
+`my-kill-line' and `kill-word' into `my-kill-word' using `define-key':
+
+   (define-key my-mode-map [remap kill-line] 'my-kill-line)
+   (define-key my-mode-map [remap kill-word] 'my-kill-word)
+
+When `my-mode' is enabled, its minor mode keymap is enabled too.  So
+when the user types C-k, that runs the command `my-kill-line'.
+
+Only one level of remapping is supported.  In the above example, this
+means that if `my-kill-line' is remapped to `other-kill', then C-k still
+runs `my-kill-line'.
+
+The following changes have been made to provide command remapping:
+
+- Command remappings are defined using `define-key' with a prefix-key
+  `remap', i.e. `(define-key MAP [remap CMD] DEF)' remaps command CMD
+  to definition DEF in keymap MAP.  The definition is not limited to
+  another command; it can be anything accepted for a normal binding.
+
+- The new function `command-remapping' returns the binding for a
+  remapped command in the current keymaps, or nil if not remapped.
+
+- `key-binding' now remaps interactive commands unless the optional
+  third argument NO-REMAP is non-nil.
+
+- `where-is-internal' now returns nil for a remapped command (e.g.
+  `kill-line', when `my-mode' is enabled), and the actual key binding for
+  the command it is remapped to (e.g. C-k for my-kill-line).
+  It also has a new optional fifth argument, NO-REMAP, which inhibits
+  remapping if non-nil (e.g. it returns "C-k" for `kill-line', and
+  "<kill-line>" for `my-kill-line').
+
+- The new variable `this-original-command' contains the original
+  command before remapping.  It is equal to `this-command' when the
+  command was not remapped.
+
+*** If text has a `keymap' property, that keymap takes precedence
+over minor mode keymaps.
+
+*** The `keymap' property now also works at the ends of overlays and
+text properties, according to their stickiness.  This also means that it
+works with empty overlays.  The same hold for the `local-map' property.
+
+*** Dense keymaps now handle inheritance correctly.
+
+Previously a dense keymap would hide all of the simple-char key
+bindings of the parent keymap.
+
+*** `define-key-after' now accepts keys longer than 1.
+
+*** New function `current-active-maps' returns a list of currently
+active keymaps.
+
+*** New function `describe-buffer-bindings' inserts the list of all
+defined keys and their definitions.
+
+*** New function `keymap-prompt' returns the prompt string of a keymap.
+
+*** (map-keymap FUNCTION KEYMAP) applies the function to each binding
+in the keymap.
+
+*** New variable `emulation-mode-map-alists'.
+
+Lisp packages using many minor mode keymaps can now maintain their own
+keymap alist separate from `minor-mode-map-alist' by adding their
+keymap alist to this list.
+
+** Abbrev changes:
+
++++
+*** The new function `copy-abbrev-table' copies an abbrev table.
+
+It returns a new abbrev table that is a copy of a given abbrev table.
+
++++
+*** `define-abbrev' now accepts an optional argument SYSTEM-FLAG.
+
+If non-nil, this marks the abbrev as a "system" abbrev, which means
+that it won't be stored in the user's abbrevs file if he saves the
+abbrevs.  Major modes that predefine some abbrevs should always
+specify this flag.
+

+** The new library button.el implements simple and fast `clickable

+`widgets' implemented by widget.el, and can be used by lisp code that
+doesn't require the full power of widgets.  Emacs uses buttons for
+such things as help and apropos buffers.
+
+---
+** The new library tree-widget.el provides a widget to display a set
+of hierarchical data as an outline.  For example, the tree-widget is
+well suited to display a hierarchy of directories and files.
+
+** The new library bindat.el provides functions to unpack and pack
+binary data structures, such as network packets, to and from Lisp
+data structures.
+
+---
+** master-mode.el implements a minor mode for scrolling a slave
+buffer without leaving your current buffer, the master buffer.
+
+It can be used by sql.el, for example: the SQL buffer is the master
+and its SQLi buffer is the slave.  This allows you to scroll the SQLi
+buffer containing the output from the SQL buffer containing the
+commands.
+
+This is how to use sql.el and master.el together: the variable
+sql-buffer contains the slave buffer.  It is a local variable in the

+** The new library benchmark.el does timing measurements on Lisp code.
+
+This includes measuring garbage collection time.
+
++++
+** The new library testcover.el does test coverage checking.
+
+This is so you can tell whether you've tested all paths in your Lisp
+code.  It works with edebug.
+
+The function `testcover-start' instruments all functions in a given
+file.  Then test your code.  The function `testcover-mark-all' adds
+overlay "splotches" to the Lisp file's buffer to show where coverage
+is lacking.  The command `testcover-next-mark' (bind it to a key!)
+will move point forward to the next spot that has a splotch.
+
+Normally, a red splotch indicates the form was never completely
+evaluated; a brown splotch means it always evaluated to the same
+value.  The red splotches are skipped for forms that can't possibly
+complete their evaluation, such as `error'.  The brown splotches are
+skipped for forms that are expected to always evaluate to the same
+value, such as (setq x 14).
+
+For difficult cases, you can add do-nothing macros to your code to
+help out the test coverage tool.  The macro `noreturn' suppresses a
+red splotch.  It is an error if the argument to `noreturn' does
+return.  The macro `1value' suppresses a brown splotch for its argument.
+This macro is a no-op except during test-coverage -- then it signals
+an error if the argument actually returns differing values.
