Yes, this makes perfect sense, a list is much more readable. The text in the FAQ is now the following: | 4.5 What is different about Emacs 22? | ===================================== | | * Emacs can be built with GTK+ widgets, and supports drag-and-drop | operation on X. | | * Font Lock mode, Auto Compression mode, and File Name Shadow Mode | are enabled by default. | | * The maximum size of buffers has been doubled and is 256M on | 32-bit machines. | | * Links can be followed with `mouse-1'. | | * Mouse wheel support is enabled by default. | | * Window fringes are customizable. | | * The mode line of the selected window is now highlighted. | | * The minibuffer prompt is displayed in a distinct face. | | * Abbrev definitions are read automatically at startup. | | * Grep mode is separate from Compilation mode and has many new | options and commands specific to grep. | | * The original Emacs macro system has been replaced by the new | Kmacro package, which provides many new commands and features | and a simple interface that uses the function keys F3 and F4. | Macros are stored in a macro ring, and can be debugged and | edited interactively. | | * The Grand Unified Debugger (GUD) can be used with a full | graphical user interface to GDB; this provides many features | found in traditional development environments, making it easy to | manipulate breakpoints, add watch points, display the call | stack, etc. Breakpoints are visually indicated in the source | buffer. | | * Many new modes and packages have been included in Emacs, such as | Calc, TRAMP, URL, IDO, CUA, ERC, rcirc, Table, Tumme, SES, | Ruler, Org, PGG, Flymake, Password, Printing, Reveal, wdired, | t-mouse, longlines, savehist, Conf mode, Python mode, DNS mode, | etc. | | * Leim is now part of Emacs. Unicode support has been much | improved, and the following input methods have been added: | belarusian, bulgarian-bds, bulgarian-phonetic, chinese-sisheng, | croatian, dutch, georgian, latin-alt-postfix, latin-postfix, | latin-prefix, latvian-keyboard, lithuanian-numeric, | lithuanian-keyboard, malayalam-inscript, rfc1345, | russian-computer, sgml, slovenian, tamil-inscript, ucs, | ukrainian-computer, vietnamese-telex, and welsh. | | The following language environments have also been added: | Belarusian, Bulgarian, Chinese-EUC-TW, Croatian, French, | Georgian, Italian, Latin-6, Latin-7, Latvian, Lithuanian, | Malayalam, Russian, Slovenian, Swedish, Tajik, Tamil, UTF-8, | Ukrainian, Welsh, and Windows-1255. | | * Emacs 22 features support for GNU/Linux systems on S390 and | x86-64 machines, as well as support for the Mac OS X and Cygwin | operating systems. | | * In addition, Emacs 22 now includes the Emacs Lisp Reference | Manual (*note Emacs Lisp documentation::) and the Emacs Lisp | Intro. | | Many other changes have been made in Emacs 22, use `C-h n' to get a | full list.
