 * Introduction
 ==============
 This file presents some general information about XEmacs.  It is primarily
 about the evolution of XEmacs and its release history.
-There are five sections.
+There are three sections.
 Introduction................(this section) provides an introduction
 Using Outline Mode..........briefly explains how to use outline mode
-The History of XEmacs.......some historical notes
-What's Different?...........new or changed capabilities
 XEmacs Release Notes........details of the changes between releases
 New users should look at the next section on "Using Outline Mode".  You will
 be more efficient when you can navigate quickly through this file.  Users
 interested in some of the details of how XEmacs differs from GNU Emacs
-should read the section "What's Different?".  Users who would to know which
+should read the section "What's Different?".
-capabilities have been introduced in each release should look at the
-appropriate subsection of the "XEmacs Release Notes."
+Users who would like to know which capabilities have been introduced
+in each release should look at the appropriate subsection of the
+"XEmacs Release Notes."  Starting with version 20.0, XEmacs includes
+ChangeLogs, which can be consulted for a more detailed list of
+changes.
 N.B.  The term "FSF GNU Emacs" refers to any release of Emacs Version 19
 from the Free Software Foundation's GNU Project. (We do not say just
 "GNU Emacs" because Richard M. Stallman ["RMS"] thinks that this term
 is too generic; although we sometimes say e.g. "GNU Emacs 19.30" to refer
 RMS prefers, because that is clearly an even more generic term.) The term
 "XEmacs" refers to this program or to its predecessors "Era" and
 "Lucid Emacs".  The predecessor of all these program is called "Emacs 18".
 When no particular version is implied, "Emacs" will be used.
 * Using Outline Mode

 This file is in outline mode, a major mode for viewing (or editing)
 outlines.  It allows you to make parts of the text temporarily invisible so

+Invoke the customizations buffer using the menus (Customize is at the

+`M-x customize-variable' and `M-x customize-face'.  Customize can save

+Customize is now the preferred way to change XEmacs settings.  Tens of
+packages have been converted to take advantage of the Customize
+features, including Gnus, Message, Supercite, Psgml, Comint, W3,
+cc-mode (and many other programming language modes), ispell.el,
+ps-print.el, id-select.el, most of the programming language modes, and
+many many more.
+See the "Lisp Changes" section later for a short description of why
+and how to add custom support to your Lisp packages.  Custom is also
+documented in the XEmacs info manuals.
+** W3-3.0.80, courtesy of William Perry
+Version 3 of Emacs/W3, the Emacs World Wide Web browser, has been
+included.  It is significantly faster than any of the previous
+versions, and contains numerous new features.
+** AUCTeX-9.7k, courtesy of Per Abrahamsen
+AUC TeX is a comprehensive customizable integrated environment for
+writing input files for LaTeX using GNU Emacs.
+AUC TeX lets you run TeX/LaTeX and other LaTeX-related tools, such as
+a output filters or post processor from inside Emacs.  Especially
+`running LaTeX' is interesting, as AUC TeX lets you browse through the
+errors TeX reported, while it moves the cursor directly to the
+reported error, and displays some documentation for that particular
+error.  This will even work when the document is spread over several
+files.
+AUC TeX automatically indents your `LaTeX-source', not only as you
+write it -- you can also let it indent and format an entire document.
+It has a special outline feature, which can greatly help you `getting
+an overview' of a document.
+Apart from these special features, AUC TeX provides an large range of
+handy Emacs macros, which in several different ways can help you write
+your LaTeX documents fast and painless.
+** redo.el-1.01, courtesy of Kyle Jones
+redo.el is a package that implements true redo mechanism in XEmacs
+buffers.  Once you load it from your `.emacs', you can bind the `redo'
+command to a convenient key to use it.
+Emacs' normal undo system allows you to undo an arbitrary number of
+buffer changes.  These undos are recorded as ordinary buffer changes
+themselves.  So when you break the chain of undos by issuing some
+other command, you can then undo all the undos.  The chain of recorded
+buffer modifications therefore grows without bound, truncated only at
+garbage collection time.
+The redo/undo system is different in two ways:
+*** The undo/redo command chain is only broken by a buffer modification.
+You can move around the buffer or switch buffers and still come back
+and do more undos or redos.
+*** The `redo' command rescinds the most recent undo without
+recording the change as a _new_ buffer change.
+It completely reverses the effect of the undo, which includes making
+the chain of buffer modification records shorter by one, to counteract
+the effect of the undo command making the record list longer by one.
+** edmacro.el-3.09, courtesy of Dave Gillespie, ported to XEmacs by
+Hrvoje Niksic.
+Edmacro is a utility that provides easy editing of keyboard macros.
+Originally written by Dave Gillespie, it has been mostly rewritten by
+Hrvoje Niksic, in order to make it distinguish characters and integer,
+as well as to adapt it to XEmacs keysyms.
+Press `C-x C-k' to invoke the `edit-kbd-macro' command that lets you
+edit old as well as define new keyboard macros.  You can also edit the
+last 100 keystrokes and insert them into a macro to be bound to a key
+or named as a command.  The recorded/edited macros can be dumped to
+`.emacs' file.
+** xmine.el-1.7, courtesy of Jens Lautenbacher
+XEmacs now includes a minesweeper game with a full-featured graphics
+and mouse interface.  Invoke with `M-x xmine'.
+** efs-1.15 courtesy of Andy Norman and Michael Sperber
+EFS is now integrated with XEmacs, and replaces the old ange-ftp.  It
+has many more features, including info documentation, support for many
+different FTP servers, and integration with dired.

+* Lisp and internal changes in XEmacs 20.1
+==========================================
+** `defcustom' and `defgroup' can now be used to specify types and
+placement of the user-settable variables.
+You can now specify the types of user-settable variables in your Lisp
+packages to be customized by users.  To do so, use `defcustom' as a
+replacement for `defvar'.

 (otherkey . (foo-doit))
 (thirdkey . [1 2 3]))

+===========================================
 XEmacs 20.0 is the first public release to have support for MULE
 (Multi-Lingual Emacs).  The --with-mule configuration flag must be
 used to enable Mule support.
