* Changes in XEmacs 21.2
========================
+** The functions in rect.el have been almost completely rewritten...
+to avoid inserting undesirable spaces, notably at the end of lines.
+Two typical examples of this old behavior are `string-rectangle', which filled
+all lines up to the right side of the rectangle, and `clear-rectangle', which
+filled even empty lines up to the left side.
+
+This is not the case any more. All these functions have been rewritten to
+avoid inserting unwanted spaces, and an optional prefix now allows them to
+behave the old way.
+
+As a side effect, `move-to-column' now also accepts 'coerce as its second
+argument, meaning that the line shouldn't be filled if its too short to reach
+the desired column.
+
+** You can now customize and save comments for faces and variables.
+
+In Custom buffers, a new menu entry allows you to add and edit a comment.
+Comments for variables can also be assigned by calling
+`customize-set-(value|variable)' with a prefix argument.

** XEmacs now locates the early package hierarchy at ~/.xemacs/packages.
This has changed from simply ~/.xemacs.
backward. If set to non-nil, the "Delete" key will delete forward,
except on keyboards where a "Backspace" key is not provided.

+Unless our implementation has bugs, the only reason why you would want
to set `delete-key-deletes-forward' to nil is if you want to use the
Delete key to delete backwards, despite the presence (according to
Xlib) of a BackSpace key on the keyboard.

** Interactive searching and matching case improvements.
Case sensitiveness in searching operations is normally controlled by
searching). This mechanism has now been slightly improved for
interactive searches: if the search string (or regexp) contains
uppercase characters, the searching is forced to be case-sensitive,
-`case-fold-search'.
+`case-fold-search'.
The new behavior affects all functions performing interactive
searches, like `zap-to-char', `list-matching-lines', `tags-search'
** The font-menu is now available under MS-Windows
+** MS-Windows support for selection is much more robust
+
+Generally selection should now do what you would expect under
+MS-Windows: the middle mouse button will paste your current selection
+or the clipboard; conversions from different types of selection to the
+clipboard can be made; the kill-ring and friends will be updated as
+per X.
+
+The only thing selection doesn't do is set the clipboard automatically
+as this would break the MS-Windows model. If you want this behaviour
+then set `selection-sets-clipboard' to t
