+ in Japanese mail files, but increases the chance that autosave
+ files will contain garbage (because the buffer contents cannot be
+ saved correctly in the current coding system).
+-- Failure to save certain customizations fixed.
+-- Ability to customize fonts improved, especially the "cannot
+ customize italic" bug
+-- Window loop now properly iterates over multiple devices; some
+ problems with wrong window being selected (eg, with gnuclient)
+ resolved.

+-- Make `truncate-partial-width-windows' effect buffer-local.
+-- Suppress bogus focus changes.
+-- Fix custom's handling of font size and family.
+-- Fix comboreloc crash (common on Linux when making first frame).
+-- Default --with-ipv6-cname=no.
+-- From 21.4.5 "Civil Service (Windows)":
+ -- Fixed a scrollbar problem when selecting the frame with focus.
+ -- Fixed `mswindows-shell-execute' under cygwin.
+ -- Added a new function `mswindows-cygwin-to-win32-path' for JDE.
+ -- Added support for dialog-based directory selection.
+ -- The installer version has been updated to the 21.5 netinstaller. The
+ 21.5 installer now does proper dde file association and adds uninstall
+ capability.
+ -- Handle leak fix from Mike Alexander.
+ -- New release build script.
+
+to XEmacs 21.4.5 "Civil Service"
+
+-- Now installs arch-specific files relative to $execdir, not $prefix.
+-- New configure.ac guards against autoconf 2.5x, not yet supported.
+-- (**) configure.ac added to auto-mode-alist.

+-- Add GTK defaults in several places.
+-- Fix Lisp syntax in several files.
+-- call-process-internal reads files as 'binary, now writes 'binary too.
+-- FAQ corrections.
+-- Many typo fixes.
+-- Correct case for XEmacs file names under msw (Cygwin is pedantic).
+-- Fix progress gauge flashing under OpenMotif.
+-- Texinfo syntax corrections in Info sources.
+-- Bug reporting now politically correct.
+-- Now detects xpm-nox on Cygwin.
+-- Conditionalize `-msw.c against Cygwin and MSVC5 deficiencies.

+-- Fix "gc in window proc" and "setitimer" crashes on msw.
+-- Quote null arguments correctly on msw.
+-- Fix pty allocation on SCO Unix.
+-- Eliminate a few warnings.
