+*** Multiline macros are now handled, both as they affect indentation,

+*** A new style "user" which captures all non-hook-ified

+Style "cc-mode" is an alias for "user" and is deprecated.  "gnu" style

+** In Info mode, dir files can be automatically rebuilt  
+when they do not exist or get out of date with respect to the info files
+in the same directory.
+
+The default behaviour is to ask the user if he wants to rebuild an
+outdated info file when doing so would overwrite the file.  When the
+user has no write access to an outdated info file or to an info
+directory containing no dir file, a temporary dir file is built and used
+instead without asking the user but issuing a warning.

+This behaviour can be customized, look for `Info-rebuild-outdated-dir'
