+ ** The new function `window-inside-edges' returns the edges of the
+ actual text portion of the window, not including the scroll bar or
+ divider line, the fringes, the display margins, the header line and
+ the mode line.
+ 
+ ** The new functions `window-pixel-edges' and `window-inside-pixel-edges'
+ return window edges in units of pixels, rather than columns and lines.
+ 
  ** The kill-buffer-hook is now permanent-local.
  
  ** The `local-map' property now also works at the ends of overlays and

  parameter of the `checkout' backend function.
  Old code still works thanks to a default `find-version' behavior that
  uses the old `destfile' parameter.
+ 
+ ** The new macro dynamic-completion-table supports using functions
+ as a dynamic completion table.
+ 
+   (dynamic-completion-table FUN)
+ 
+ FUN is called with one argument, the string for which completion is required,
+ and it should return an alist containing all the intended possible
+ completions. This alist may be a full list of possible completions so that FUN
+ can ignore the value of its argument. If completion is performed in the
+ minibuffer, FUN will be called in the buffer from which the minibuffer was
+ entered. dynamic-completion-table then computes the completion.
+ 
+ ** The new macro lazy-completion-table initializes a variable
+ as a lazy completion table.
+ 
+   (lazy-completion-table VAR FUN &rest ARGS)
+ 
+ If the completion table VAR is used for the first time (e.g., by passing VAR
+ as an argument to `try-completion'), the function FUN is called with arguments
+ ARGS. FUN must return the completion table that will be stored in VAR. If
+ completion is requested in the minibuffer, FUN will be called in the buffer
+ from which the minibuffer was entered. The return value of
+ `lazy-completion-table' must be used to initialize the value of VAR.
  
  ** `minor-mode-list' now holds a list of minor mode commands.
