+value of the hook variable; it remains even if you change major modes.
+
+** `frame-inherited-parameters' lets new frames inherit parameters from
+the selected frame.
+
+** New keymap `input-decode-map' overrides like key-translation-map, but
+applies before function-key-map.  Also it is terminal-local contrary to
+key-translation-map.  Terminal-specific key-sequences are generally added to
+this map rather than to function-key-map now.

+** `ignore-errors' is now a standard macro (does not require the CL package).

+** `interprogram-paste-function' can now return one string or a list
+of strings.  In the latter case, Emacs puts the second and following
+strings on the kill ring.

-recenter the visited source file.  Its value can be a number (for example,
-0 for top line, -1 for bottom line), or nil for no recentering.

+** `file-remote-p' has new optional parameters IDENTIFICATION and CONNECTED.
+IDENTIFICATION specifies which part of the remote identifier has to be
+returned.  With CONNECTED passed non-nil, it is checked whether a
+remote connection has been established already.
+
+** The new macro `declare-function' suppresses compiler warnings about
+undefined functions.
+
+** Changes to interactive function handling
+
+*** The new interactive spec code ^ says to first call
+handle-shift-selection if shift-select-mode is non-nil, before reading
+the command arguments.  This is used for shift-selection (see above).
+
+*** Built-in functions can now have an interactive specification that
+is not a prompt string.  If the `intspec' parameter of a `DEFUN'
+starts with a `(', the string is evaluated as a Lisp form.
+
+*** The interactive-form of a function can be added post-facto via the
+`interactive-form' symbol property.  Mostly useful to add complex
+interactive forms to subroutines.

+unshifted point motion command or mark deactivation.  Afterwards,

+** Changes related to multiple-terminal (multi-tty) support
 
 *** $TERM is now set to `dumb' for subprocesses.  If you want to know the
 $TERM inherited by Emacs you will have to look inside initial-environment.
 
 *** $DISPLAY is now dynamically inherited from the frame's `display'.
 
-*** The `window-system' variable has been made frame-local.  The new
+*** The `window-system' variable is now frame-local.  The new
 `initial-window-system' variable contains the `window-system' value
 for the first frame.  `window-system' is also now a function that
 takes a frame argument.
 
+*** The `keyboard-translate-table' variable and the terminal and
+keyboard coding systems are now terminal-local.
+
 *** You can specify a terminal device (`tty' parameter) and a terminal
 type (`tty-type' parameter) to `make-terminal-frame'.
 
-*** The new function `make-frame-on-tty' allows you to create a new
-frame on another tty device interactively.
-
 *** The function `make-frame-on-display' now works during a tty
 session, and `make-frame-on-tty' works during a graphical session.
 
-*** New functions: `delete-tty', `suspend-tty', `resume-tty'.
-
 *** A new data type for terminals with functions: `get-device-terminal',
 `terminal-parameters', `terminal-parameter', `set-terminal-parameter'.
 
-*** New hooks: `suspend-tty-functions' and `resume-tty-functions'
-are called after a tty frame has been suspended or resumed,
-respectively.  The functions are called with the terminal id of the frame
-being suspended/resumed as a parameter.
+*** Function key sequences are now mapped using `local-function-key-map',
+a new variable.  This inherits from the global variable function-key-map,
+which is not used directly any more.
+
+*** New hooks:
+
+**** `suspend-tty-functions' and `resume-tty-functions' are called
+after a tty frame has been suspended or resumed, respectively.  The
+functions are called with the terminal id of the frame being
+suspended/resumed as a parameter.
 
-*** New function: `environment'.
+**** The special hook `delete-terminal-functions' is called before
+deleting a terminal.
+
+*** New functions:
+
+**** `environment'
 
-*** New variable: `local-function-key-map'.
-This in addition to the global function-key-map variable that
-already existed.  The global variable is not used directly any more;
-instead, the local-function-key-map is initialized so as to inherit from
-function-key-map.
+**** `make-frame-on-tty' creates a new frame on another tty device.
+
+**** `delete-tty'
+
+**** `suspend-tty'
+
+**** `resume-tty'.
 
 *** `initial-environment' holds the environment inherited from Emacs's parent.
 
-*** The `keyboard-translate-table' variable and the terminal and
-keyboard coding systems have been made terminal-local.
+** Redisplay changes
 
-*** In addition to the global function-key-map, Emacs has terminal-local
-local-function-key-map variables, and uses them instead of the
-global keymaps to set up translations and function key sequences
-relevant to a specific terminal device.
+*** For underlined characters, the distance between the underline and
+the baseline is controlled by a new variable, `underline-minimum-offset'.
 
-*** `underline-minimum-offset' keeps the underline away from the baseline.
-
-** You can now also pass the value of the `invisible' property to invisible-p
-to check whether it would cause the text to be invisible.  Convenient when
-checking invisibility of text which has no buffer position
+*** You can now pass the value of the `invisible' property to
+invisible-p to check whether it would cause the text to be invisible.
+Convenient when checking invisibility of text with no buffer position
 (e.g. in before/after-strings).
 
-** Non-breaking space now acts as whitespace.
-
-+++
-** In `condition-case', a handler can specify "let the debugger run first".
+*** Non-breaking space is now displayed as whitespace.
 
-You do this by writing `debug' in the list of conditions to be handled,
-like this:
+*** `clear-image-cache' can be told to flush only images of a specific file.
 
-    (condition-case nil
-	(foo bar)
-      ((debug error) nil))
+** Miscellaneous new functions
 
-** The `require-match' argument to `completing-read' accepts a new value
-`confirm-only'.
+*** `format-seconds' converts a number of seconds into a readable
+string of days, hours, etc.
 
-+++
-** The regexp form \(?<num>:<regexp>\) specifies the group number explicitly.
+*** `apply-partially' performs a "curried" application of a function.
 
-** New function `window-full-width-p' returns t if a window is as wide
-as its frame.
+*** `read-shell-command' does what its name says, with completion.  It
+uses the minibuffer-local-shell-command-map for that.
 
-** The new function `split-string-and-unquote' does (what?)
-
-** The new function `combine-and-quote-strings' does (what?)
+*** `buffer-swap-text' swaps text between two buffers.  This can be
+useful for modes such as tar-mode, archive-mode, RMAIL.
 
-** The new function `image-refresh' refreshes all images associated
-with a given image specification.
+*** `read-color' reads a color name using the minibuffer.
 
-+++
-** New variable `user-emacs-directory'.
-Use this instead of "~/.emacs.d".
+*** `face-all-attributes' returns an alist describing all the basic
+attributes of a given face.
+
+*** `window-full-width-p' returns t if a window is as wide as its
+frame.
 
-+++
-** The new function `start-file-process' is similar to `start-process',
-but obeys file handlers.  The file handler is chosen based on
-`default-directory'.  The functions `start-file-process-shell-command'
-and `process-file-shell-command' are also new; they call internally
-`start-file-process' and `process-file', respectively.
+*** `split-string-and-unquote' does (what?)
+
+*** `combine-and-quote-strings' does (what?)
 
-** The new function `process-lines' executes an external program and
-returns its output as a list of lines.
+*** `image-refresh' refreshes all images associated with a given image
+specification.
 
-+++
-** `file-remote-p' has new optional parameters IDENTIFICATION and CONNECTED.
-IDENTIFICATION specifies which part of the remote identifier has to be
-returned.  With CONNECTED passed non-nil, it is checked whether a
-remote connection has been established already.
-
-** The two new functions `looking-at-p' and `string-match-p' can do
+*** The two new functions `looking-at-p' and `string-match-p' can do
 the same matching as `looking-at' and `string-match' without changing
 the match data.
 
-** The interactive-form of a function can be added post-facto via the
-`interactive-form' symbol property.  Mostly useful to add complex interactive
-forms to subroutines.
+** Miscellaneous new variables
+
+*** `this-command-keys-shift-translated' is non-nil if the key
+sequence invoking the current command was found by shift-translation.
+
+*** `window-point-insertion-type' determines the insertion-type of the
+marker used for window-point.
+
+*** bookmark provides `bookmark-make-record-function' so special major
+modes like Info can teach bookmark.el how to save and restore the
+relevant data.
+
+*** `next-error-recenter' specifies how next-error should recenter the
+visited source file.  Its value can be a number (for example, 0 for
+top line, -1 for bottom line), or nil for no recentering.
+
+*** `fill-forward-paragraph-function' specifies which function the
+filling code should use to find paragraph boundaries.
+
+*** `custom-note-var-changed' tells Custom to treat the change in a
+certain variable as having been made within Custom.
