@c Update the emacs.texi Antinews menu entry with the above version number.
For those users who live backwards in time, here is information

+about downgrading to Emacs version 23.4. We hope you will enjoy the
greater simplicity that results from the absence of many Emacs
@value{EMACSVER} features.
@itemize @bullet
-
address@hidden
-We have switched to a character representation specially designed for
-Emacs. Rather than forcing all the widely used scripts into artificial
-alignment, as Unicode does, Emacs treats them all equally, giving
-each one a place in the space of character codes. We have eliminated
-the confusing practice, in Emacs 23, whereby one character can belong
-to multiple character sets. Now each script has its own variant, and
-they all are different as far as Emacs is concerned. For example,
-there's a Latin-1 c-cedilla character, and there's a Latin-2
-c-cedilla; searching a buffer for the Latin-1 variant only finds that
-variant, but not the others.
-
address@hidden
-Emacs now uses its own special internal encoding for address@hidden
-characters, known as @samp{emacs-mule}. This was imperative to
-support several different variants of the same character, each one
-belonging to its own script: @samp{emacs-mule} marks each character
-with its script, to better discern them from one another.
-
address@hidden
-For simplicity, the functions @code{encode-coding-region} and
address@hidden no longer accept an argument saying where
-to store the result of their conversions. The result always replaces
-the original, so there's no need to look for it elsewhere.
-
address@hidden
-Emacs no longer performs font anti-aliasing. If your fonts look ugly,
-try choosing a larger font and increasing the screen resolution.
-Admittedly, this becomes difficult as you go further back in time,
-since available screen resolutions will decrease.
-
address@hidden
-The Fontconfig font library is no longer supported. To specify a
-font, you must use an XLFD (X Logical Font Descriptor). The other
-ways of specifying fonts---so-called ``Fontconfig'' and ``GTK'' font
-names---are redundant, so they have been removed.
-
address@hidden
-Transient Mark mode is now disabled by default. Furthermore, some
-commands that operate specifically on the region when it is active and
-Transient Mark mode is enabled (such as @code{fill-paragraph}
address@hidden, and @code{indent-for-tab-command}), no longer do
-so.
-
address@hidden
-Holding @key{shift} while typing a motion command no longer creates a
-temporarily active region, since that's inconsistent with how Emacs
-normally handles keybindings. The variable @code{shift-select-mode}
-has been deleted. You can, however, still create temporarily active
-regions by dragging the mouse.
-
address@hidden
-The line motion commands, @kbd{C-n} and @kbd{C-p}, now move by logical
-text lines, not screen lines. Even if a long text line is continued
-over multiple screen lines, @kbd{C-n} and @kbd{C-p} treat it as a
-single line, because that's ultimately what it is.
-
address@hidden
-Visual Line mode, which provides ``word wrap'' functionality, has been
-removed. You can still use Long Lines mode to gain an approximation
-of word wrapping, though this has some drawbacks---for instance,
-syntax highlighting often doesn't work well on wrapped lines.
-
address@hidden
address@hidden now runs @code{recenter} instead of
address@hidden This always sets the current line at the
-center of the window, instead of cycling through the center, top, and
-bottom of the window on successive invocations. This lets you type
address@hidden C-l C-l C-l} to be @emph{absolutely sure} that you have
-recentered the line.
-
address@hidden
-The way Emacs generates possible minibuffer completions is now much
-simpler to understand. It matches alternatives to the text before
-point, ignoring the text after point; it also does not attempt to
-perform partial completion if the first completion attempt fails.
-
address@hidden
-Typing @kbd{M-n} at the start of the minibuffer history list no longer
-attempts to generate guesses of possible minibuffer input. It instead
-does the straightforward thing, by issuing the message @samp{End of
-history; no default available}.
-
address@hidden
-Individual buffers can no longer display faces specially. The text
-scaling commands @kbd{C-x C-+}, @kbd{C-x C--}, and @kbd{C-x C-0} have
-been removed, and so has the buffer face menu bound to
address@hidden
-
address@hidden
-VC no longer supports fileset-based operations on distributed version
-control systems (DVCSs) such as Arch, Bazaar, Subversion, Mercurial,
-and Git. For instance, multi-file commits will be performed by
-committing one file at a time. As you go further back in time, we
-will remove DVCS support entirely, so you should migrate your projects
-to CVS.
-
address@hidden
-Rmail now uses a special file format, Babyl format, specifically designed
-for storing and editing mail. When you visit a file in Rmail, or get new
-mail, Rmail converts it automatically to Babyl format.
-
address@hidden
-Emacs can no longer display frames on X windows and text terminals
-(ttys) simultaneously. If you start Emacs as an X application, it
-can only create X frames; if you start Emacs on a tty, it can only use
-that tty. No more confusion about which type of frame
address@hidden will use in any given Emacs session!
-
address@hidden
-Emacs can no longer be started as a daemon. You can be sure that if
-you don't see Emacs, then it's not running.
-
address@hidden
-Emacs has added support for many soon-to-be-non-obsolete platforms,
-including VMS, DECstation, SCO Unix, and systems lacking alloca.
-Support for Sun windows has been added.

Resources are grouped into named classes. For instance, the
address@hidden class contains both the @samp{borderWidth} resource

- The most common way to customize the GTK widgets Emacs uses (menus,
-dialogs tool bars and scroll bars) is by choosing an appropriate
-theme, for example with the GNOME theme selector.
-
-You can also do Emacs specific customization by inserting GTK style
-directives in the file @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}, but only if you have a
-Gtk+ version earlier than 3 (i.e.@: 2). Some GTK themes ignore
-customizations in @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc} so not everything works with
-all themes. To customize Emacs font, background, faces, etc., use the
-normal X resources (@pxref{Resources}). We will present some examples
-of customizations here, but for a more detailed description, see the
-online manual
-
- The first example is just one line. It changes the font on all GTK widgets
-to courier with size 12:
-
address@hidden
-gtk-font-name = "courier 12"
address@hidden smallexample
-
- The thing to note is that the font name is not an X font name, but a
-Pango font name. A Pango font name is basically of the format "family
-style size", where the style is optional as in the case above. A name
-with a style could be for example:
-
address@hidden
-gtk-font-name = "helvetica bold 10"
address@hidden smallexample
-
- To customize widgets you first define a style and then apply the style to
-the widgets. Here is an example that sets the font for menus, but not
-for other widgets:
-
address@hidden
-# @r{Define the style @samp{menufont}.}
-style "menufont"
address@hidden
- font_name = "helvetica bold 14" # This is a Pango font name
address@hidden
-
-# @r{Specify that widget type @samp{*emacs-menuitem*} uses @samp{menufont}.}
-widget "*emacs-menuitem*" style "menufont"
address@hidden smallexample
-
-The widget name in this example contains wildcards, so the style will be
-applied to all widgets that match "*emacs-menuitem*". The widgets are
-named by the way they are contained, from the outer widget to the inner widget.
-So to apply the style "my_style" (not shown) with the full, absolute name, for
-the menubar and the scroll bar in Emacs we use:
-
address@hidden
-widget "Emacs.pane.menubar" style "my_style"
-widget "Emacs.pane.emacs.verticalScrollBar" style "my_style"
address@hidden smallexample
-
-But to avoid having to type it all, wildcards are often used. @samp{*}
-matches zero or more characters and @samp{?} matches one character. So "*"
-matches all widgets.
-
- Each widget has a class (for example GtkMenuItem) and a name
(emacs-menuitem).
-You can assign styles by name or by class. In this example we have used the
-class:
-
address@hidden
-style "menufont"
address@hidden
- font_name = "helvetica bold 14"
address@hidden
-
-widget_class "*GtkMenuBar" style "menufont"

- GTK absolute names are quite strange when it comes to menus
-and dialogs. The names do not start with @samp{Emacs}, as they are
-free-standing windows and not contained (in the GTK sense) by the
-Emacs GtkWindow. To customize the dialogs and menus, use wildcards like this:
-

-widget "*emacs-dialog*" style "my_dialog_style"
-widget "*emacs-filedialog* style "my_file_style"
-widget "*emacs-menuitem* style "my_menu_style"
address@hidden smallexample
-
- If you specify a customization in @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}, then it
-automatically applies only to Emacs, since other programs don't read
-that file. For example, the drop down menu in the file dialog can not
-be customized by any absolute widget name, only by an absolute class
-name. This is because the widgets in the drop down menu do not
-have names and the menu is not contained in the Emacs GtkWindow. To
-have all menus in Emacs look the same, use this in
address@hidden/.emacs.d/gtkrc}:
-
address@hidden
-widget_class "*Menu*" style "my_menu_style"
address@hidden smallexample

-

-customization file, @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0}, or with the Emacs specific
-file @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}. We recommend that you use

-
- Some GTK themes override these mechanisms, which means that using

+ The following sections describe how to customize GTK+ resources for

+file changes the font on all GTK+ widgets to @samp{courier-12}:
+
address@hidden
+gtk-font-name = "courier 12"

+Note that in this case the font name must be supplied as a GTK font
