+- Update to to emacs version 23.2
+  * The command-line option -Q (--quick) also inhibits loading X resources.
+  * The new variable `inhibit-x-resources' shows whether X resources
+    were loaded.
+  * New command-line option -mm (--maximized) maximizes the initial frame.
+  * The default value of `trash-directory' is now nil.
+  * The pointer now becomes invisible when typing.
+    Customize `make-pointer-invisible' to disable this feature.
+  * Emacs can use the system default monospaced font in Gnome.
+    To enable this feature, set `font-use-system-font' to non-nil (it is
+    nil by default).
+  * On X11, Emacs reacts to Xft changes made by configuration tools,
+    via the XSETTINGS mechanism.  This includes antialias, hinting,
+    hintstyle, RGBA, DPI and lcdfilter changes.
+  * Killing a buffer with a running process now asks for confirmation.
+  * Unibyte sessions are now considered obsolete.
+  * Function arguments in *Help* buffers are now shown in upper-case.
+    Customize `help-downcase-arguments' to t to show them in lower-case.
+  * New command `async-shell-command', bound globally to `M-&'.
+  * When running in a new enough xterm (newer than version 242), Emacs
+    asks xterm what the background color is and it sets up faces
+    accordingly for a dark background if needed
+  * If `select-active-regions' is t, any active region automatically
+    becomes the primary selection (for interaction with other window
+    applications).  If you enable this, you might want to bind
+    `mouse-yank-primary' to Mouse-2.
+  * When `save-interprogram-paste-before-kill' is non-nil, the kill
+    commands save the interprogram-paste selection into the kill ring
+    before doing anything else.  This avoids losing the selection.
+  * When `kill-do-not-save-duplicates' is non-nil, identical
+    subsequent kills are not duplicated in the `kill-ring'.
+  * The new command `completion-at-point' provides mode-sensitive completion.
+  * tab-always-indent set to `complete' lets TAB do completion as well.
+  * The new completion-style `initials' is available.
+    For instance, this can complete M-x lch to list-command-history.
+  * The new variable `completions-format' determines how completions
+    are displayed in the *Completions* buffer.  If you set it to
+    `vertical', completions are sorted vertically in columns.
+  * The default value of `blink-matching-paren-distance' is increased.
+  * M-n provides more default values in the minibuffer for commands
+    that read file names.  These include the file name at point (when ffap
+    is loaded without ffap-bindings), the file name on the current line
+    (in Dired buffers), and the directory names of adjacent Dired windows
+    (for Dired commands that operate on several directories, such as copy,
+    rename, or diff).
+  * M-r is bound to the new `move-to-window-line-top-bottom'.
+    This moves point to the window center, top and bottom on successive
+    invocations, in the same spirit as the C-l (recenter-top-bottom)
+    command.
+  * The new variable `recenter-positions' determines the default
+    cycling order of C-l (`recenter-top-bottom').
+  * The abbrevs file is now a file named abbrev_defs in
+    user-emacs-directory; but the old location, ~/.abbrev_defs, is used if
+    that file exists.
+  * The bookmark menu has a narrowing search via bookmark-bmenu-search.
+  * The Calc settings file is now a file named calc.el in
+    user-emacs-directory; but the old location, ~/.calc.el, is used if
+    that file exists.
+  * Graphing commands (`g f' etc.) now work on MS-Windows, if you have
+    the native Windows port of Gnuplot version 3.8 or later installed.
+  * Fancy diary display is now the default.
+    If you prefer the simple display, customize `diary-display-function'.
+  * The diary's fancy display now enables view-mode.
+  * The command `calendar-current-date' accepts an optional argument
+    giving an offset from today.
+  * The default value for `desktop-buffers-not-to-save' is nil.
+    This means Desktop will try restoring all buffers, when you restart
+    your Emacs session.  Also, `desktop-buffers-not-to-save' is only
+    effective for buffers that have no associated file.  If you want to
+    exempt buffers that do correspond to files, customize the value of
+    `desktop-files-not-to-save' instead.
+  * The new variable `dired-auto-revert-buffer', if non-nil, causes
+    Dired buffers to be reverted automatically on revisiting them.
+  * When `doc-view-continuous' is non-nil, scrolling a line
+    on the page edge advances to the next/previous page.
+  * Elint now uses compilation-mode.
+  * Elint can now scan individual files and whole directories,
+    and can be run in batch mode.
+  * Elint does a more thorough initialization, and recognizes more built-in
+    functions and variables.  Customize `elint-scan-preloaded' if you want
+    to sacrifice some accuracy for a faster startup.
+  * Elint attempts some basic understanding of featurep and (f)boundp tests.
+  * Customize `elint-ignored-warnings' to suppress some warnings.
+  * Toolbar functionality for reverse debugging.  Display of STL
+    collections as watch expressions.  These features require GDB 7.0 or later.
+  * A new command `zrgrep' searches recursively in gzipped files.
+  * The new command `Info-virtual-index' bound to "I" displays a menu of
+    matched topics found in the index.
+  * The new command `info-finder' replaces finder.el with a virtual Info
+    manual that generates an Info file which gives the same information
+    through a menu structure.
+  * LaTeX mode now provides completion (via completion-at-point).
+  * Message mode is now the default mode for composing mail.
+  * If the user has not customized mail-user-agent, `compose-mail'
+    checks for Mail mode customizations, and issues a warning if these
+    customizations are found.  This alerts users who may otherwise be
+    unaware that their mail configuration has changed.
+    To disable this check, set compose-mail-user-agent-warnings to nil.
+  * The default value of mail-interactive is t, since Emacs 23.1.
+    (This was not announced at the time.)  It means that when sending mail,
+    Emacs will wait for the process sending mail to return.  If you
+    experience delays when sending mail, you may wish to set this to nil.
+  * nXML mode is now the default for editing XML files.
+  * pcomplete provides a new command `pcomplete-std-completion' which
+    is similar to `pcomplete' but using the standard completion UI code.
+  * M-s is no longer bound to `comint-next-matching-input'.
+  * M-r is now bound to `comint-history-isearch-backward-regexp'.
+    This starts an incremental search of the comint/shell input history.
+  * ansi-color is now enabled by default in Shell mode.
+    To disable it, set ansi-color-for-comint-mode to nil.
+  * New connection methods "rsyncc", "imap" and "imaps".
+    On systems which support GVFS-Fuse, Tramp offers also the new
+    connection methods "dav", "davs", "obex" and "synce".
+  * When using C-x v v or C-x v i on a unregistered file that is in a
+    directory not controlled by any VCS, ask the user what VC backend to
+    use to create a repository, create a new repository and register the
+    file.
+  * New command `vc-root-print-log', bound to `C-x v L'.
+    This displays a `*vc-change-log*' buffer showing the history of the
+    version-controlled directory tree as a whole.
+  * New command `vc-root-diff', bound to `C-x v D'.
+  * `C-x v l' and `C-x v L' do not show the full log by default.
+  * vc-annotate supports annotations through file copies and renames,
+    it displays the old names for the files and it can show logs/diffs for
+    the corresponding lines.  Currently only Git and Mercurial take
+    advantage of this feature.
+  * The log command in vc-annotate can display a single log entry
+    instead of redisplaying the full log.  The RCS, CVS and SCCS VC
+    backends do not support this.
+  * When a file is not found, VC will not try to check it out of RCS anymore.
+  * Diff and log operations can be used from Dired buffers.
+  * The short log format for git makes use of the graph display,
+    so it's not supported on git versions earlier than 1.5.6.
+  * vc-dir uses the --relative option of git, and so requires at least
+    git version 1.5.5.
+  * Support for operating with stashes has been added to vc-dir:
+    the stash list is displayed in the *vc-dir* header, stashes can be
+    created, removed, applied and their content displayed.
+  * vc-bzr supports operating with shelves: the shelve list is
+    displayed in the *vc-dir* header, shelves can be created, removed and applied.
+  * log-edit-strip-single-file-name controls whether or not single filenames
+    are stripped when copying text from the ChangeLog to the *VC-Log* buffer.
+  * Interactively `multi-isearch-buffers' and `multi-isearch-buffers-regexp'
+    read buffer names to search, one by one, ended with RET.  With a prefix
+    argument, they ask for a regexp, and search in buffers whose names match
+    the specified regexp.  Interactively `multi-isearch-files' and
+    `multi-isearch-files-regexp' read file names to search, one by one,
+    ended with RET.  With a prefix argument, they ask for a wildcard, and
+    search in file buffers whose file names match the specified wildcard.
+  * The new eshell built-in commands `su' and `sudo' support Tramp.
+    Thus, they change `default-directory' to reflect the new user id, and
+    let commands run under that user's permissions.  This works even when
+    `default-directory' is already remote.  Calling the external commands
+    is possible via `*su' or `*sudo', respectively.
+  * Obsolete packages
+  * sym-comp.el is now obsolete, superseded by completion-at-point.
+  * lucid.el and levents.el are now obsolete.
+  * CEDET (the Collection of Emacs Development Tools) is now in Emacs.
+    This is a collection of packages to aid with using Emacs as an IDE
+    (integrated development environment):
+  * The Semantic package allows the use of parsers to intelligently
+    edit and navigate source code.  Parsers for C/C++, Java, Javascript,
+    and several other languages are included by default, and Semantic can
+    also interface with external tools such as GNU Global and GNU Idutils.
+  * EDE (Emacs Development Environment) is a package for managing code
+    projects, including features such as automatic Makefile generation.
+  * SRecode is a library for recoding Semantic tags back into source
+    code.  It is currently used by some parts of Semantic and EDE; in the
+    future, it may be used for code generation features.
+  * The EIEIO library implements a subset of the Common Lisp Object
+    System (CLOS).  It is used by the other CEDET packages.
+  * mpc.el is a front end for the Music Player Daemon.  Run it with M-x mpc.
+  * htmlfontify.el turns a fontified Emacs buffer into an HTML page.
+  * js.el is a new major mode for JavaScript files.
+  * imap-hash.el is a new library to address IMAP mailboxes as hashtables.
+  * read-file-name-predicate is obsolete.
+  * `delete-directory' has an optional parameter RECURSIVE.
+  * New function `copy-directory', which copies a directory recursively.
+  * called-interactively-p now takes one argument and replaces interactive-p
+    which is now marked obsolete.
+  * New function set-advertised-calling-convention makes it possible
+    to obsolete arguments as well as make some arguments mandatory.
+  * You can control which binding is preferentially shown in menus and
+    docstrings by adding a `:advertised-binding' property to the corresponding
+    command's symbol.  That property can hold a single binding or a list
+    of bindings.
+  * start-process-shell-command and start-file-process-shell-command
+    now only take a single `command' argument.
+  * The new variable `process-file-side-effects' should be set to nil
+    if a `process-file' call does not change a remote file.  This allows
+    file name handlers such as Tramp to optimizations.
+  * make-network-process can now also create `seqpacket' Unix sockets.
+  * eval-next-after-load is obsolete.
+  * New hook `after-load-functions' run after loading an Elisp file.
+  * Changing the file-names generated by byte-compilation by redefining
+    the function `byte-compile-dest-file' before loading bytecomp.el is obsolete.
+    Instead, customize byte-compile-dest-file-function.
+  * `byte-compile-warnings' has new members, `constants' and `suspicious'.
+  * New macro with-silent-modifications to tweak text properties without
+    affecting the buffer's modification state.
+  * Hash tables have a new printed representation that is readable.
+    The feature `hashtable-print-readable' identifies this new
+    functionality.
+  * Face aliases can now be marked as obsolete, using the macro
+    `define-obsolete-face-alias'.
