 * Changes in XEmacs 20.3

-** Autoconf 2 is supported.
+** XEmacs runs on Windows NT.
+
+Thanks to David Hobley <davidh@wr.com.au> and Marc Paquette
+<marcpa@cam.org>, XEmacs now runs on Windows NT.
+
+For now, you need an X server to be able to run it, but Marc is
+working on a port that implements a native NT device.  We need *your*
+help.

+current buffer and deletes the selected window.  It asks for
+confirmation first.
+
+** XEmacs can now save the minibuffer histories from various
+minibuffers.  To use this feature, add the line:
+
+   (savehist-load)
