-** `user-init-file' and `user-init-directory' are now absolute
-file/directory names. Previously, both variables used to be relative
-to (concat "~" init-file-user). This turned out to be too complicated
-for most packages (and some core Lisp files) to use correctly. Also,
-the `init-file-user' variable has been obsoleted in the process.
+** A new Windows installer, netinstall ported from Cygwin.
+
+Nearly complete automation of the XEmacs install process from
+ftp.xemacs.org. Includes selection of Lisp packages to install, etc.
+
+** Syntax tables may now be specified for a part of a buffer by
+attaching the `syntax-table' property to an extent. For compatibility
+with GNU Emacs, you may use the text-property interface to achieve the
+same result.
+
+** Case translation now supports international characters.
+
+*** Instead of being lists of 256-character strings, case tables are
+now opaque objects. The interface to access them is almost the same,
+except it now works for international characters, and you can set the
+case pairs using `put-case-table-pair'. `set-case-table' and friends
+still support the old list/string based interface for backward
+compatibility.
+
+*** As a consequence of this change, functions `downcase' and `upcase'
+as well as all the case-transformation commands now work with
+non-ASCII characters. Built-in tables cover all the Latin character
+sets that we support. If your language has a distinction between
+upper and lower case that is not handled by XEmacs/Mule, please let us
+know.
+
+*** The code that implements case-insensitive search has been modified
+to respect the case table settings. This also applies to regexp
+search.
+
+** Values of variables `user-init-file' and `user-init-directory' are
+now absolute file/directory names. Previously, both variables used to
+be relative to `(concat "~" init-file-user)'. This turned out to be
+too complicated for most packages (and some core Lisp files) to use
+correctly. Also, the `init-file-user' variable has been obsoleted in
+the process.
