  * 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'.
+ 
+ +++
  ** In processing a local variables list, Emacs strips the prefix and
  suffix are from every line before processing all the lines.
  
***************
*** 1162,1173 ****
--- 1177,1199 ----
    new-kill-line is on C-k
  
  +++
+ ** 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.

  attempt to construct a unique auto-save name (e.g. for remote files).
  
  +++
+ ** There is a new calendar package, icalendar.el, that can be used to
+ convert Emacs diary entries to/from the iCalendar format.
+ 
+ +++
  ** Diary sexp entries can have custom marking in the calendar.
  Diary sexp functions which only apply to certain days (such as
  `diary-block' or `diary-cyclic') now take an optional parameter MARK,

  year and day number, and moves to that date. Negative day numbers
  count backward from the end of the year.
  
+ +++
+ ** The new Calendar function `calendar-goto-iso-week' (g w)
+ prompts for a year and a week number, and moves to the first
+ day of that ISO week.
+ 
  ---
  ** The functions `holiday-easter-etc' and `holiday-advent' now take
  arguments, and only report on the specified holiday rather than all.
***************
*** 2483,2491 ****
  `define-fringe-bitmap', and FACE is an optional face name to be used
  for displaying the bitmap.
  
! *** New function `fringe-bitmaps-at-pos' returns a cons (LEFT . RIGHT)
! identifying the current fringe bitmaps in the display line at a given
! buffer position.  A nil value means no bitmap.
  
  ** Multiple overlay arrows can now be defined and managed via the new
  variable `overlay-arrow-variable-list'.  It contains a list of

  number of corresponding line in current buffer.
  
+ +++
  ** 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
