-    N.B.  The term "GNU Emacs" refers to any release of Emacs Version
-    19 from the Free Software Foundation's GNU Project.  (We do not
-    say just "Emacs" as Richard M. Stallman ["RMS"] prefers, because
-    it is clearly a more generic term.)  The term "XEmacs" refers to
-    this program or sometimes 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.

+* Changes in XEmacs 21.5
+========================
+
+** Summary of user-visible changes:
+
+  -- Bignums have been implemented.
+  -- Windows users have benefit of the full Win32 Unicode API.
+  -- (in process) Xft provides antialiased fonts on X11.
+
+** Bignum implementation.
+
+Integer computations no longer overflow, rational arithmetic "just
+works", and very precise floating point calculation is available.
+This also means that large buffers (over 2^30 = 1GB) can be
+manipulated.
