 * Changes in Emacs 21.4
 
 +++
+** 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.
+
++++
+** New functions `make-progress-reporter', `progress-reporter-update',
+`progress-reporter-force-update' and `progress-reporter-done' provide
+a simple and efficient way of printing progress messages to the user.
+
++++
+** In Enriched mode, `set-left-margin' and `set-right-margin' are now
+by default bound to `C-c [' and `C-c ]' instead of the former `C-c C-l'
+and `C-c C-r'.

+** Vertical scrolling is now possible within incremental search.
+To enable this feature, customize the new user option
+`isearch-allow-scroll'.  User written commands which satisfy stringent
+constraints can be marked as "scrolling commands".  See the Emacs manual
+for details.
+
++++
 ** C-w in incremental search now grabs either a character or a word,
 making the decision in a heuristic way.  This new job is done by the
 command `isearch-yank-word-or-char'.  To restore the old behavior,
 bind C-w to `isearch-yank-word' in `isearch-mode-map'.
 
 +++
+** C-y in incremental search now grabs the next line if point is already
+at the end of a line.

++++
 ** C-M-w deletes and C-M-y grabs a character in isearch mode.
 Another method to grab a character is to enter the minibuffer by `M-e'
 and to type `C-f' at the end of the search string in the minibuffer.
