  * New modes and packages in Emacs 22.1
  
  +++
+ ** The new package longlines.el provides a minor mode for editing text
+ files composed of long lines, based on the `use-hard-newlines'
+ mechanism.  The long lines are broken up by inserting soft newlines,
+ which are automatically removed when saving the file to disk or
+ copying into the kill ring, clipboard, etc.  By default, Longlines
+ mode inserts soft newlines automatically during editing, a behavior
+ referred to as "soft word wrap" in other text editors.  This is
+ similar to Refill mode, but more reliable.  To turn the word wrap
+ feature off, set `longlines-auto-wrap' to nil.

  ** The new package conf-mode.el handles thousands of configuration files, with
  varying syntaxes for comments (;, #, //, /* */ or !), assignment (var = value,

+ `delete-and-extract-region' when copying text into a user-accessible
+ data structure, like the kill-ring, X clipboard, or a register.  The
+ list of filter function is specified by the new variable
+ `buffer-substring-filters'.  For example, Longlines mode uses
+ `buffer-substring-filters' to remove soft newlines from the copied
+ text.

  ** An element of buffer-undo-list can now have the form (apply FUNNAME
  . ARGS), where FUNNAME is a symbol other than t or nil.  That stands
  for a high-level change that should be undone by evaluating (apply
