  change group you start for any given buffer should be the last one
  finished.
  
+ ** You can now use non-blocking connect to open network streams.
+ 
+ The function open-network-stream has a new optional 7th argument.
+ If non-nil, that function will initiate a non-blocking connect and
+ return immediately before the connection is established.
+ 
+ It returns nil if the system does not support non-blocking connects;
+ the caller may then make a normal (blocking) open-network-stream.
+ 
+ The filter and sentinel functions can now be specified as arguments
+ to open-network-stream.  When the non-blocking connect completes, the
+ sentinel is called with the status matching "open" or "failed".
+ 
  ** New function substring-no-properties.
