+@item
+Parser did not recognise the use of @samp{\def} to create La@TeX{}

+@samp{<Frederic.Devernay@@sophia.inria.fr>}.
+@item
+Minor cleanup in some error messages.
+@item
+Fixed bug in @code{TeX-comment-paragraph} when called with a negative

+@item
+Don't move point in master file when running a command on the region in
+an included file.  Thanks to Karl Wilhelm Langenberger
+@samp{<wlang@@rs6000.mri.akh-wien.ac.at>} for the patch.
+@item
+@code{LaTeX-math-mode} no longer works on Emacs 18 or older Lucid
+versions.  This change allowed me to unbundle @file{min-map.el}.
+@item
+Made @kbd{C-c C-e} more robust, especially when applied on an empty
+active region.  Reported by Andrew Senior @samp{<aws@@eng.cam.ac.uk>}.
+@item
+@kbd{C-c C-m section RET} and @kbd{M-@key{tab}} should work now in
+@TeX{}info mode.  @kbd{C-c C-b} and @kbd{C-c C-r} removed, since they
+did not work.  Reported by Karl Eichwalder
+@samp{<karl@@pertron.central.de>}.
+@item
+Made @kbd{M-q} skip block comments.  Sugested by Peter Whaite
+@samp{<peta@@cim.mcgill.ca>}.
+@item
+Code cleanup:  Renamed @samp{-format-} functions to @samp{-fill-}.
+@item
+Made @kbd{,} and @kbd{.} remove any preceding italic correction.
+@item
+Changes in math mode: @samp{setminus} moved to @key{\}, @samp{not} moved
+to @key{/}, and @samp{wedge}, @samp{vee}, and @samp{neg} installed on
+@key{&}, @kbd{|}, and @kbd{!} to make writing logic easier for C
+programmers.
+@item
+Renamed @file{auc-tex.el} to @file{auc-old.el} to make it less likely
+that new users load it by mistake.
+@item
+Changed name of @file{easymenu.el} to @file{auc-menu.el} to avoid
+conflict with RMS's version.  Updated it to handle the Lucid
+@code{:keys} keyword argument.  Defines a popup menu for both FSF and
+Lucid emacs, although it is only installed in Lucid Emacs.  Added David
+Aspinall's @samp{<da@@dcs.edinburgh.ac.uk>} patch to handle an empty
+menu bar under Lucid Emacs.  The interface is still a superset of
+@file{easymenu.el}.  This version should no longer prevent the sharing
+of byte compiled files between FSF and Lucid emacs.
+@item
+Marking a section or environment now highlight it in Lucid Emacs.  It
+already worked in GNU Emacs.  Thanks to Andreas Ernst
+@samp{ernst_a@@maths.uwa.edu.au}.

+@item
+Fixed position of @samp{\label} in environments.  Reported by Richard
+Stanton @samp{<stanton@@haas.berkeley.edu>}.
+@item
+Made the name of the AUC @TeX{} menu mode specific.
+@item
+More reliable guesses with @kbd{C-c C-r}.  Thanks to Lawrence R. Dodd
+@samp{<dodd@@roebling.poly.edu>}.
+@item
+Insert newline before inserting local variable section.  Thanks to
+Rajeev Gore' @samp{<rpg@@cs.man.ac.uk>}.
+@item
+Fixes to Japanese version.  Thanks to Kobayashi Shinji
+@samp{<koba@@flab.fujitsu.co.jp>}.

+Shinji @samp{<koba@@flab.fujitsu.co.jp>} and Masayuki Kuwada
+<kuwada@@axion-gw.ee.uec.ac.jp>.

+@item
+Some Emacs 18 compatibility changes.  Thanks to Fran E. Burstall
+@samp{<F.E.Burstall@@maths.bath.ac.uk>}.
+@item
+Use nonrecursive function to determine the current environment.  This
+should solve problems with exceeding lisp max depth. Contributed by
+David Aspinall @samp{<da@@dcs.edinburgh.ac.uk>}.
+@item
+Fixed documentation for @kbd{` ~} in @file{math-ref.tex}.  Thanks to
+Morten Welinder @samp{<terra@@diku.dk>}.
+@item
+Made @code{LaTeX-math-mode} work better with FSF Emacs 19 in the case
+where you press something undefined, in particular function keys.
+Requested by several.
+@item
+Inserting an itemize environment around the active region now insert the
+first item inside the environment.  Thanks to Berwin A. Turlach
+@samp{<berwin@@core.ucl.ac.be>} for reporting this.
+@item
+Fixed bug in right button menu under Lucid.  Reported by Frederic

+Fixed problem with @file{filladapt} defeating La@TeX{} mode's own
+indentation algorithm.  Thanks to Piet van Oostrum
+@samp{<piet@@cs.ruu.nl>}.
+@item
+Made environments and sections selectable from the menu bar.
+@item
+Support Emacs comment conventions.  Comments starting with a single
+@samp{%} are indented at @code{comment-column}.  Comments starting with
+@samp{%%%} are indented at column 0.  Comments starting with
+@samp{%%} are indented like ordinary text.  You can set the variables
+@code{LaTeX-right-comment-regexp} and @code{LaTeX-left-comment-regexp}
+to nil to disable this.  See also @code{LaTeX-ignore-comment-regexp}.
+Rewrote it from Christoph Wedler @samp{<wedler@@fmi.uni-passau.de>} from
+original code.
+@item
+@key{tab} and @key{lfd} will not indent code in @samp{verbatim}
+environment if you set @code{LaTeX-indent-environment-check} to non-nil.
+This was also first implemented by Christoph Wedler
+@samp{<wedler@@fmi.uni-passau.de>}.
+@item
+You can now get get custom indentation for various environments.  See
+@code{LaTeX-indent-environment-list}.
+@item
+@kbd{C-c C-m left @key{ret}} new automatically inserts a matching
+@samp{\right}.  See variables @code{TeX-left-right-braces},
+@code{TeX-braces-default-association}, and
+@code{TeX-braces-user-association}.  This feature was suggested by Jesse
+@samp{<jes@@math.msu.edu>} and implemented by Berwin Turlach
+@samp{<berwin@@core.ucl.ac.be>}.
+@item
+Don't automatically display the compilation buffer unless
+@code{TeX-show-compilation} in non-nil.  Suggested by Stefan Schoef
+@samp{Stefan.Schoef@@arbi.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de}.
+@item
+Bundled @file{ltx-help.el}.  Press @kbd{C-h C-l} to get the
+documentation for a LaTeX command.
+@item
+Fixed indentation of @samp{\left} and @samp{\right}.  Thanks to
+Christoph Wedler @samp{<wedler@@fmi.uni-passau.de>}.
+@item
+Installation procedure changed.  @file{tex-site.el} is now intended to
+survive AUC @TeX{} upgraded.  The distribution version only contains
+autoloads (eliminating the need for @file{tex-load.el} , the
+customization variables are moved to @file{tex.el}.  You should copy
+those variables you need to customize from @file{tex.el} to
+@file{tex-site.el}.
+@item
+Made it possible to use absolute paths when including bibliographies or
+style files.
+@item
+Fixed problem with parsing errors after running La@TeX{} on the region
+from the menu.  Thanks to Peter Barth @samp{<barth@@mpi-sb.mpg.de>} for
+finding this one.
+@item
+The file @file{doc/ref-card.texi} has been renamed to
+@file{doc/tex-ref.texi} to avoid confusion with the reference card for
+GNU Emacs.  Suggested by Michelangelo Grigni @samp{<mic@@cs.ucsd.edu>}.
+@item
+The @file{README}, @file{CHANGES} and @file{INSTALLATION} files are now
+generated from chapters of this manual, to ensure they stay in sync.
+@item
+@kbd{M-@key{tab}} will now complete some macro arguments in addition to
+macro names.  In particular, if you press @kbd{M-@key{tab}} after
+@samp{\cite@{} or @samp{\ref@{} you will get completion for bibitems and
+labels, respectively.
+@item
+Merged a number of files.  The major files are now @file{tex.el} for
+plain @TeX{} and common support, @file{tex-buf.el} for running external
+commands, and @file{latex.el} for La@TeX{} support.
+@item
+Unbundled @file{outln-18.el}.  Users of Emacs 18 or Lucid Emacs 19.9 or
+earlier must get @file{outln-18.el} and install it as @file{outline.el}
+if they want the outline commands to work.
+@item
+No longer bind @kbd{C-c @key{tab}} to @code{TeX-complete-symbol}.  Use
+@kbd{M-@key{tab}} instead.
+@item
+Cleaned up the parser and parameterizedd it.  Now you can add now types
+of information to be maintained by the parser simply by calling
+@code{TeX-auto-add-type}.  You still need to install the regexps with
+@code{TeX-auto-add-regexp}.
+@item
+Disable the automatic insertion of empty braces after macros with no
+arguments in @code{LaTeX-math-mode}.  Added a variable
+@code{TeX-insert-braces} to disable it everywhere.
+@item
+Now complete with existing labels when asking for a label in a La@TeX{}
+environment.  Suggested by Berwin Turlach
+@samp{<berwin@@core.ucl.ac.be>}.
+@item
+The variables @code{TeX-private-macro}, @code{TeX-private-auto}, and
+@code{TeX-private-style} are now initialized from the @samp{TEXINPUTS}
+and @samp{BIBINPUTS} environment variables.
+@item
+@kbd{C-c C-f} and @kbd{C-c C-e} will now put the template around the
+region if the region is active.
+@item
+Fixed @kbd{C-u C-c C-e} to handle environments ending with a star
+(@samp{*}).  Reported by Berwin Turlach
+@samp{<berwin@@core.ucl.ac.be>}.
+@item
+Don't use @code{with-output-to-temp-buffer} for compilation buffer.
+Fixed by Frederic Devernay @samp{<Frederic.Devernay@@sophia.inria.fr>}.
+@item
+New function @code{TeX-command-buffer} (@kbd{C-c C-b}) to run a command
+on the (visible part of) the current buffer.  Requested by several
+people.
+@item
+Bundled the latest @file{reporter.el}, added
+@code{TeX-submit-bug-report} to menus.
+@item
+@code{TeX-insert-braces} now takes an argument like
+@code{insert-parentheses}.  Thanks to Lawrence R. Dodd
+@samp{<dodd@@roebling.poly.edu>}.
+@item
+Fixed bug in @samp{\put} and @samp{\multiput} macros.  Thanks to Kevin
+Scott @samp{<scottkj@@prl.philips.co.uk>}.
+@item
+Deleted @code{ams-latex-mode}, @code{slitex-mode}, and
+@code{foiltex-mode}.  Instead, use @code{LaTeX-command-style} to
+determine the name of the external command to use.
+@item
+Deleted @code{latex2e-mode}.  Instead set the @code{LaTeX-version}
+variable.  This may be done automatically if you use
+@samp{\documentclass} in the future.
+@item
+Fixed Lucid Emacs menu for @TeX{}info mode.  Thanks to Frederic Devernay
+@samp{<Frederic.Devernay@@sophia.inria.fr>},
+@item
+Added support for @file{harvard.sty} by Berwin Turlach
+@samp{<berwin@@core.ucl.ac.be>}.
+@item
+Filling will not let display math equations @samp{\[ ... \]} be on a
+line by themselves.  Reported by Matthew Morley
+@samp{<Matthew.Morley@@gmd.de>}.
+@item
+Made @code{words-include-escapes} default to nil.
+@item
+Made @code{TeX-expand-list} expansions case sensitive.  Thanks to Havard
+Rue @samp{<Havard.Rue@@sima.sintef.no>}.
+@item
+Fixed error in calculating indentation for lines starting with a brace.
+Thanks to Piet van Oostrum @samp{<piet@@cs.ruu.nl>}.
+@item
+Fixed bug in the @samp{addcontentsline}, @samp{newtheorem}, and
+@samp{pagenumbering} macros reported by Berwin Turlach
+@samp{<berwin@@core.ucl.ac.be>}.
+@item
+Doc fixes by Lawrence R. Dodd @samp{<dodd@@roebling.poly.edu>}.
+@item
+Indentation no longer fooled by @samp{\\@{},  Thanks to Peter Thiemann
+@samp{<thiemann@@provence.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>}.
+@item
+Bind @kbd{M-C-e} and @kbd{M-c-a} to @code{LaTeX-find-matching-end} and
+@code{LaTeX-find-matching-begin}.  Suggested by Lawrence R. Dodd
+@samp{<dodd@@roebling.poly.edu>}.
+@item
+Added variable @code{TeX-quote-after-quote} which causes
+@code{TeX-insert-quote} to insert literal @samp{"} except when after
+another @samp{"}, in which case it will expand to @code{TeX-open-quote}
+or @code{TeX-close-quote}.  This code was contributed by Piotr Filip
+Sawicki @samp{<pfs@@mimuw.edu.pl>}.
+@item
+Added support for Polish style files @file{plfonts.sty} and
+@file{plhb.sty}, contributed by Piotr Filip
+Sawicki @samp{<pfs@@mimuw.edu.pl>}.
+@item
+Added section with suggestions for how to handle European
+character sets.
+@item
+Created workaround for bug in the regexp handler in some Emacs 18
+versions and older versions of Lucid Emacs.  The workaround
+means you cannot use space in the documentstyle command in Emacs and
+Lucid Emacs earlier than version 19.9.
+@item
+@file{powerkey.el} is removed since the functionality is integrated in
+GNU Emacs
+@item
+@kbd{C-u "} now inserts four literal @samp{"}, not just one.  To insert
+a single @samp{"} either press @key{"} twice or use @kbd{C-q "}.
+@item
+Allow non-string value for @code{outline-minor-map-prefix}.  Reported by
+David Smith @samp{<maa507@@comp.lancs.ac.uk>}.
+@item
+Make the use of @code{write-file-hooks} more safe, and use
+@code{local-write-file-hooks} when possible.  Suggested by David Smith
+@samp{<maa507@@comp.lancs.ac.uk>}.
+@item
+Don't indent @samp{\begin@{verbatim@}} and @samp{\end@{verbatim@}},
+since any space before @samp{\end@{verbatim@}} is significant.  Thanks to
+Peter Thiemann @samp{<thiemann@@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>} for the
+patch.
+@item
+Show available fonts when you try to insert an non-existing font.
+Suggested by David Smith @samp{<maa507@@comp.lancs.ac.uk>}.
+@item
+The @code{member} function in @file{tex-18.el} does not depend on
+@code{TeX-member} now.  Thanks to Piet van Oostrum
+@samp{<piet@@cs.ruu.nl>}.
+@item
+Do not overwrite any global binding of @kbd{M-@kbd{ret}}.  Suggested by
+Jens Petersen @samp{<J.Petersen@@qmw.ac.uk>}.
+@item
+Major modes for writing text are supposed to rebind @kbd{M-@kbd{tab}} to
+@code{ispell-complete-word}.  Reported by Jens Petersen
+@samp{<J.Petersen@@qmw.ac.uk>}.
+@item
+Fixed problems with @TeX{}info menus.  Thanks to David Smith
+@samp{<maa507@@comp.lancs.ac.uk>} for reporting this.
+@item
+Code cleanup.   Removed the @file{format} directory, as it did not make
+it easier to add new @TeX{} modes, quite the contrary.
+@item
+Fixed name conflict in @file{auc-tex.el}, reported by Rik Faith
+@samp{<faith@@cs.unc.edu>}.
+@item
+Fixed some spelling errors.  Thanks to Lawrence R. Dodd

+@item
+All minor modes unbundled.  You can find them from ftp at
+@samp{ftp.iesd.auc.dk} in the directory @file{/pub/emacs-lisp}.  Removed
+information about minor modes from this document.
+@item
+New hooks for changing ispell directory, see @file{tex-site.el} for

+@item
+La@TeX{}2e mode now supported.  Insert
+@lisp
+(setq TeX-default-mode 'latex2e-mode)
+@end lisp
+in your @file{.emacs} file to get documentclass instead of documentstyle
+per default.  The parser recognizes documentclass, usepackage, and

+Added functions to hide (@code{LaTeX-hide-environment}) and show
+(@code{LaTeX-show-environment}) the current environment.
+@item
+@kbd{C-u C-c C-e} will now modify the current environment instead of
+inserting a new environment.  This is like the optional argument to the
+font commands.
+@item
+Added nabla to LaTeX Math Mode.  Suggested by Bill Reynolds

+@item
+Added commands for running @TeX{} and La@TeX{} interactively.  Thanks to
+David Carlisle @samp{<carlisle@@computer-science.manchester.ac.uk>}.
+@item
+The external commands will now insert there output @emph{before} point
+in the output buffers.  This allows you to follow the progress by
+putting point at the end of the file.  Suggested by Jak Kirman
+@samp{<jak@@cs.brown.edu>}.
+@item
+When invoking an external command from a menu, the document will be
+automatically saved.
+@item
+There are now a printer menu for emacs 19.
+@item
+Redesigned dependency checking.  Now only checks dependencies for files
+loaded in the current emacs session.  This is much faster, but will not
+catch files that are edited outside this emacs session, or files edited
+in killed buffers.  @strong{@code{TeX-check-path} must at least contain
+@file{.} for saving to work}.  If you have set @samp{TeX-check-path}
+in your @file{.emacs} file, remove it.  The default value is fast enough
+now.
+@item
+New variable @code{TeX-save-query} control if AUC @TeX{} will query you
+for each modified buffer when you save the document.  Set it to nil to
+get rid of these questions.  Setting this variable also affect the
+automatic saving of the document that happens each time you start an
+external command.
+@item
+New command @code{TeX-save-document} will save all files in the current
+document, i.e. the document associated with the current buffer.
+@item
+Cleaned up all minor modes, also made them use @file{min-map.el} or
+@file{min-mode.el} instead of @file{min-bind.el}.
+@item
+Cleaned up release management.
+@item
+AUC TeX will not longer be confused when you rewrite a file under a new
+name.
+@item
+Lots of code cleanup, involving reformatting the source and renaming all
+@samp{-hook} variables and functions to conform with the Emacs 19
+guidelines.
+@item
+Can now parse Japanese characters in labels and macros when you use
+Japanese @TeX{}.  Thanks to Shinji Kobayashi
+@samp{<koba@@flab.fujitsu.co.jp>}.
+@item
+Made it safe to quit when AUC @TeX{} asks for the name of the master
+file.  It will simply assume the file itself is the master, and continue
+without inserting any file local variables.
+@item
+Support for @code{epsf} and @code{psfig} style files.  Thanks to Marc
+Gemis @samp{<makke@@wins.uia.ac.be>}.
+@item
+Support for La@TeX{}info.  Thanks to Marc Gemis
+@samp{<makke@@wins.uia.ac.be>}.
+@item
+Only examine the first 10000 bytes to find out what @TeX{} mode to use.
+@item
+Added @code{TeX-submit-bug-report} command to submit bug reports.  It
+uses the @file{reporter.el} distributed with SuperCite, so it may not be
+available in some Emacs 18 installations.
+@item
+Speeded up parsing significantly by using a simpler regexp.
+@item
+Added variable @code{TeX-auto-untabify}.  Set it to nil to prevent
+untabifying the buffer when it is saved.  Several people wanted this.
+@item
+Changed defaults to @emph{not} do any automatic parsing, nor prompt for
+a master file.  @xref{Parsing Files}, @ref{Multifile}, for information
+about how ot correct this.  In short, insert the following in your
+@file{.emacs} file.
+@lisp
+(setq TeX-auto-save t)
+(setq TeX-parse-self t)
+(setq-default TeX-master nil)
+@end lisp
+@item
+Some grammatical fixes to the @file{PROBLEMS} file.  Thanks to Lawrence
+R. Dodd @samp{<dodd@@roebling.poly.edu>}.
+@item
+No longer install a separate @code{outline-minor-mode} by default, as
+the FSF Emacs 19.19 @code{outline-minor-mode} is adequate.  The included
+file @file{outln-18.el} emulates the FSF Emacs 19.19 mode under Emacs 18.
+The FSF Emacs 19.19 @code{outline-minor-mode} use the @kbd{C-c} prefix
+instead of @kbd{C-c C-o} by default, and does not bind as many keys as
+the @code{outline-minor-mode} distributed with earlier versions of AUC
+@TeX{} did.  You can get the keybindings back together with other
+goodies by inserting
+@example
+(require 'out-xtra)
+@end example
+in your @file{.emacs} file.  @file{out-xtra.el} will probably be
+unbundled from AUC @TeX{} in the future.
+@item
+Some fixes to AmS-@TeX{} mode by Ulf Juergens

+@item
+Make @samp{plain-TeX-mode-menu} work in Lucid Emacs.  Thanks to Anthony

+@item
+First cut on a @TeX{}info mode.
+@item
+More strict about parsing @samp{\bibitem}'s and Bib@TeX{} entries.

+@item
+Make last value default for @code{TeX-insert-macro}.  Suggested by Matt
+Fairtlough @samp{<M.Fairtlough@@dcs.sheffield.ac.uk>}.
+@item
+Renamed info file to @samp{auc-info} in order to fill DOS file limits.

+New keymap.
+The keymap has been changed in order to make it more intuitive to new
+users, and because the old bindings did not work well with the new
+buffer manipulation commands in tex-buf.el.  To use the new bindings,
+load @file{tex-init.el} instead of @file{auc-tex.el}.
+The file @file{auc-tex.el} is still available and implements the old
+keybindings on top of the new code.
+Print out the reference card (@file{doc/tex-ref.tex}) to see the new
+bindings.
+@item
+Completely redesigned the buffer handling.
+No part of the interface or the customization variables remain the same,
+unless you use the compatibility functions in @file{auc-tex.el}.  In
+that case the interactive commands remain similar in spirit, but the
+customization interface is still changed.
+The file @file{tex-buf.el} has been completely rewritten, and there are
+major cleanup in @file{tex-dbg.el}, however the basic functionality
+remains the same in this file.  The code for both @file{tex-buf.el} and
+@file{tex-dbg.el} should be much simpler now and easier to extent.
+@file{auc-tex.el} and @file{tex-site.el} was updated to support the new
+interface.  I actually believe the moral equivalent to @code{TeX-region}
+to work now @t{:-)}, at least I understand the code now.
+The two major functions are now @code{TeX-command-master} and
+@code{TeX-command-region}.  Each function will prompt you for the
+command to execute.  AUC @TeX{} will make an educated guess on what
+command you want to run, and make that the default.  The available
+commands are defined in the variable @code{TeX-command-list}.
+@code{TeX-command-master} will run the specified command on the buffers
+master file.  You can have one command running for each master file.
+@code{TeX-command-region} will run the specified command on the current
+region, getting the header on trailer from the master file.
+You can have exactly one region command running, independent on how many
+master file commands that are running.  Commands that operate on the
+active process (like @code{TeX-next-error}) will chose the process
+associated with buffers master file, unless the last region process is
+more recent than all master file processes.
+AUC @TeX{} now insist on knowing the master file for a buffer.  If you
+do not specify it in the file variable section, and it is not obviously
+a master file itself, it will ask you.  It will also add the master file
+name to the file variables, unless you disable this feature by setting
+@code{TeX-add-local} to nil.  Furthermore, it will convert @samp{%%
+Master:} lines to file variables, unless you disable it by setting
+@code{TeX-convert-master} to nil.
+@vindex TeX-convert-master
+Functionality removed (for now, it might appear again latter) include
+all other functions to start a command (e.g. @code{LaTeX-BibTeX}), and
+alternative ways to specify headers and trailers.  The only place to get
+the header and trailer is from the master file (I can easily change
+that, if anyone have such needs).
+@item
+Style specific code isolated.
+You can now add style specific information to AUC TeX by writing a
+style file somewhere in TeX-style-path.
+The main code is now organized around this principle.
+@item
+Automatically generate style files.
+AUC @TeX{} can now automatically extract information from a @TeX{} file,
+and will do this when you save a buffer.
+@item
+Sli@TeX{} mode.
+Just like La@TeX{} mode, except that the default command to format run
+on the buffer is @samp{slitex}.
+@item
+@code{LaTeX-section} completely general.
+Rewrote @file{ltx-sec.el}.
+@itemize @minus
+@item
+Sectioning level, toc, and title queries can be individually turned off.
+@item
+Label query can be turned on or off for selected sectioning levels.

+@item
+@code{TeX-insert-macro} much smarter.
+It will now prompt for the symbol with completions, and for many symbols
+it will also prompt for each argument.  There are also completion on
+some of the arguments.
+@item
+Fixed center in figure environment.
+Thanks to Thomas Koenig @samp{<ig25@@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>}.
+@item
+Changed @code{\M-} to @code{\e} in all keybindings in order to better
+support 8-bit input on some GNU Emacs. Thanks to Peter Dalgaard
+@samp{<pd@@kubism.ku.dk>}.
+Please, implementors of 8-bit input extensions to GNU Emacs.
+@code{\M-x} does @emph{not} means @dfn{@kbd{x} with the 8-bit set}.  It
+means @dfn{pressing @kbd{x} while holding down the @key{meta} key}.
+Some systems (such as X11) are able to tell the different.  Thus, even
+if you implement 256 byte keymaps, @code{\M-x} should still expand
+@code{meta-prefix-char} followed by an @kbd{x} in the keymap.  This
+allows you to distinguish pressing @kbd{x} while holding down the
+@key{meta} key from entering a literal 8-bit character.
+@item
+Made the outline commands aware of the document style.
+That is, if the document style is @samp{article}, @samp{\section} will
+be one level below the @samp{\documentstyle}, while if the style is
+@samp{book}, @samp{\section} will be three levels below
+@samp{\documentstyle}.  This will make @code{show-children} work better
+at the top level.
+@item
+The makefiles are closer to GNU coding standard.
+They now understand `prefix' and some other macros.
+@item
+Added hooks to be run after list of environments or list of completion
+names are updated, and also added a hook to be called after each file
+has been loaded. Thanks to Piet van Oostrum @samp{<piet@@cs.ruu.nl>}.
+@item
+Added @samp{*} to lot of @code{(interactive)} declarations.
+@item
+The outline commands are now always accessible from La@TeX{} mode.
+@item
+Generalized the keyboard remapping and double modes.
+These are found in the file @file{min-key.el}.
+@item
+Smart Comments.
+Not really, but there are now two comment functions which use their
+arguments to determine what to do, instead of four functions ignoring
+their arguments.
+@item
+Add outline headers.
+It is now possible to add extra outline headers, by setting the variable
+@code{TeX-outline-extra}.
+@item
+Smart quotes even smarter.
+If you press @kbd{"} twice, it will insert an real double quote instead
+of two (or four) single quotes.  This is consistent with how remapping
+in @file{min-key.el} is done.
+@item
+Automatically untabify buffer when you save it.
+Hands up, everyone who have produced a `last revision' paper containing
+an unreadable list of data in the back, because @TeX{} does not
+understands tabs.
+@item
+Call show-all when you change major mode.
+Thanks to Inge Frick's @samp{<inge@@nada.kth.se>} @file{kill-fix.el}
+enhancement, outline minor mode can now guarantee that all text is shown
+when you leave the minor mode, even if you leave the minor mode by
+changing the major mode.
+@item
+Updated documentation for 7.0.
+Also added key, variable, function, and concept indexes, as well as this
+history section and a new chapter on multifile documents
+(@pxref{Multifile}).@refill

+The origin of AUC @TeX{} is @file{tex-mode.el} from Emacs 16.  Lars
+Peter Fischer @samp{<fischer@@iesd.auc.dk>} wrote the first functions to
+insert font macros and Danish characters back in 1986.  Per Abrahamsen
+@samp{<abraham@@iesd.auc.dk>} wrote the functions to insert environments
+and sections, to indent the text, and the outline minor mode in 1987.
+Kresten Krab Thorup @samp{<krab@@iesd.auc.dk>} wrote the buffer handling
+and debugging functions, the macro completion, and much more, including
+much improved indentation and text formatting functions.  He also made
+the first public release in 1991, and was the main author and
+coordinator of every release up to and including 6.0.
+Thanks should also go to all the people who have been a great help
+developing the AUC @TeX{} system.  Especially all the people on the
+@samp{auc-tex} mailing list, who have been very helpful commenting and
+pointing out weak points and errors.
