Major rewrite. Sections Tags, Emerge, Change Log and Authors moved to maintaining.texi. Some sections reordered. Node Misc for Programs moved to just before the language-specific sections. New node Defuns contains an intro plus the old Defuns node (now renamed Moving by Defuns) as well as Imenu, Which Function, and a node Left Margin Paren to explain the convention about this. New node Parentheses now documents M-x check-parens. It contains subnodes Expressions, Moving by Parens, and Matching. Expressions and Moving by Parens contain the material formerly in Lists and List Commands, but divided up differently. The section Balanced Editing has been deleted. Most of the C indentation customization (all except c-set-style), has been replaced with a reference to the C Modes manual. Documentation now is divided into three subsections. Some rewrites in the Program Indent section about C-u TAB and C-M-q.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h P in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
