* 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.
***************

`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
