 * Changes in XEmacs 20.2
 ========================
 
+** configure no longer defaults to using --with-xim=motif if Motif libraries
+are linked.
+
+There are many bugs in the Xlib XIM support in X11R6.3.
+
+** Why XEmacs 20.1 is called 20.2
+
 Testing of XEmacs 20.1 revealed a number of showstopping bugs at the
 very final moment.  Instead of confusing the version numbers further,
 the `20.1' designation was abandoned, and the release was renamed to
 `20.2'.
 
-** The `C-z' key now iconifies only the current X frame.  You can use
-`C-x C-z' to get the old behavior.
-
-On the tty frames `C-z' behaves as before.
-
-** Several Egg/Wnn-related crashes were fixed.
-
-** lib-complete.el was MULE-ized.
-
-The commands `find-library', `find-library-other-window' and
-`find-library-other-frame' now take an optional coding system
-argument.
+** Delete/backspace keysyms have been separated
+
+The Delete and Backspace keysyms are now no longer identical.  A better
+version of delbackspace.el has been added called delbs.el.
 
 ** XEmacs 20.0 MULE API supported for backwards compatibilty
 
 XEmacs 20.2 primarily supports the MULE 3 API.  It now also supports
 the XEmacs 20.0 MULE API.
