  ** New modes and packages
  
+ *** The new ido package is an extension of the iswitchb package
+ to do interactive opening of files and directories in addition to
+ interactive buffer switching.  Ido is a superset of iswitchb (with a
+ few exceptions), so don't enable both packages.
+ 
  *** The new cua package provides CUA-like keybindings using C-x for
  cut (kill), C-c for copy, C-v for paste (yank), and C-z for undo.
  With cua, the region can be set and extended using shifted movement

  *** The new keypad setup package provides simplified configuration
  of the numeric keypad which is available on most keyboards.
  
+ *** The new kmacro package provides a simpler user interface to
+ emacs' keyboard macro facilities.
+ 
+ Basically, it uses two function keys (default F7 and F8) like this:
+ F7 starts a macro, F8 ends the macro, and pressing F8 again executes
+ the last macro.  While defining the macro, F7 inserts a counter value
+ which automatically increments every time the macro is executed.
+ 
+ M-F7 edits the last macro, C-F7 sets the counter, and S-F7 sets the
+ counter format. S-F8 executes the previous macro (actuall the head of
+ the keyboard macro ring), and C-F8 cycles through the keyboard macro
+ ring. C-u F8 swaps the last macro with the head of the macro ring.

  *** Calc is now part of the Emacs distribution.

--- 1488,1497 ----
  
  *** The new package syntax.el provides an efficient way to find the
  current syntactic context (as returned by parse-partial-sexp).
+ 
+ *** The new package bindat.el provides functions to unpack and pack
+ binary data structures, such as network packets, to and from Lisp
+ data structures.
  
  *** The TCL package tcl-mode.el was replaced by tcl.el.
  This was actually done in Emacs-21.1, and was not documented.
