My understanding is that, whatever features the latest version of Emacs has, changes to earlier versions are recorded in the NEWS file (even if those changes are eventually removed) i.e it's a chronology. Actually I've not made any changes to the NEWS file yet because I've noticed that while some features (e.g Info-scroll-prefer-subnodes) are in the RC branch (21.2) and HEAD, their documentation (in info.texi, in this case) has not been merged into HEAD. The appropriate documentation really needs to be merged at the same time as the NEWS file. I'll will try to do this if you like but there might be someone better qualified. Nick
