I've learned how to load isp files like longlines.el, and I've started learning how to set up my .emacs file to customize Emacs to be just the way I like it. I'm even posting this message from Gnus. I'm interested in version 22, but I'm also very confused by what I'm reading on the emacs web page. I go to the page, and it says, "The next release will have __many new features__, but no one specific essential feature." Fine. That means that the next version is a series of refinements. But, what I click on "many new features" the page takes me to a "news" page on a CVS server. The news makes little sense to me as a newbie, there are "empty log messages" and "update for CVS" messages. The information on that page has nothing to do with "many new features" and everything to do with a development log. I've been looking for a while, but haven't found a concise list of new features in Emacs 22. I saw some new features mentioned in the thread above, "Emacs 21 or Snapshot?" Is there a better list somewhere? Is it possible to list the improvements? Any help would be appreciated. Regards, -Drew
