(whitespace-version): Update to 2.6 (whitespace-display-in-modeline): Add custom variable to control displaying the whitespace errors on the modeline based on suggestion from <[e-mail]> (whitespace-buffer): Now returns `t' if unclean and `nil' if clean, to enable using as a hook function, as suggested by Puneet Goel <[e-mail]> (whitespace-buffer): Fix a subtle bug that cleaned up only if quiet was not set, even with whitespace-auto-cleanup set. (whitespace-mode-line): Now uses less modeline real estate and shows whitespaces as W:<x>!<y> where <x> is any type of whitespace which is present in the file, and <y> is any type of whitespace whose check has been suppressed by setting `whitespace-check-<whitespace-type>' to nil. (whitespace-unchecked-whitespaces): New function to return the list of whitespaces for whom checks have been suppressed. (whitespace-display-unchecked-whitespaces): Renamed to `whitespace-update-modeline' to reflect its functionality. (whitespace-version): Update to 2.5

* Implement a clean way to use different major modes for
  different parts of a buffer.

* Give start-process the ability to direct standard-error
  output to a different filter.

* Make compile.el record the markers that point to error loci
  on text properties in the error message lines.

* Make desktop.el save the "frame configuration" of Emacs (in some
  useful sense).

* Make movemail work with IMAP.

* Add ANSI C prototype forward declarations to the source files,
  so that even the functions used within one file have prototypes.

* Replace finder.el with something that generates an Info file
  which gives the same information through a menu structure.

* Implement a variant of uncompress.el or jka-compr.el that
  works with GNU Privacy Guard for encryption.

* Save undo information in files, and reload it when needed
  for undoing.

* modify comint.el so that input appears in a special font.
  I can add a simple Emacs feature to help.

* Implement other text formatting properties.
** Footnotes that can appear either in place
  or at the end of the page.
** text property that says "don't break line in middle of this".
  Don't break the line between two characters that have the
  same value of this property.
** Discretionary hyphens that disappear at end of line.

* Implement use of mmap to allocate buffers, when mmap exists.

* Change the Windows NT menu code
  so that it handles the deep_p argument and avoids
  regenerating the whole menu bar menu tree except
  when the user tries to use the menubar.

  This requires the RIT to forward the WM_INITMENU message to
  the main thread, and not return from that message until the main
  thread has processed the menu_bar_activate_event and regenerated
  the whole menu bar.  In the mean time, it should process other messages.
