+*** hi-lock-mode now only affects a single buffer, and a new function

-** CC mode changes.
+
+*** The CC Mode manual has been extensively revised.
+The information about using CC Mode has been separated from the larger
+and more difficult chapters about configuration.
+
+*** Changes in Key Sequences
+**** c-toggle-auto-hungry-state is no longer bound to C-c C-t.
+
+**** c-toggle-hungry-state is no longer bound to C-c C-d.
+This binding has been taken over by c-hungry-delete-forwards.
+
+**** c-toggle-auto-state (C-c C-t) has been renamed to c-toggle-auto-newline.
+c-toggle-auto-state remains as an alias.
+
+**** The new commands c-hungry-backspace and c-hungry-delete-forwards
+have key bindings C-c C-DEL (or C-c DEL, for the benefit of TTYs) and
+C-c C-d (or C-c C-<delete> or C-c <delete>) respectively.  These
+commands delete entire blocks of whitespace with a single
+key-sequence.  [N.B. "DEL" is the <backspace> key.]
+
+**** The new command c-toggle-electric-mode is bound to C-c C-l.
+
+**** The new command c-subword-mode is bound to C-c C-w.
+
+*** C-c C-s (`c-show-syntactic-information') now highlights the anchor
+position(s).
+
+*** New Minor Modes
+**** Electric Minor Mode toggles the electric action of non-alphabetic keys.
+The new command c-toggle-electric-mode is bound to C-c C-l.  Turning the
+mode off can be helpful for editing chaotically indented code and for
+users new to CC Mode, who sometimes find electric indentation
+disconcerting.  Its current state is displayed in the mode line with an
+'l', e.g. "C/al".
+
+**** Subword Minor Mode makes Emacs recognize word boundaries at upper case
+letters in StudlyCapsIdentifiers.  You enable this feature by C-c C-w.  It can
+also be used in non-CC Mode buffers.  :-) Contributed by Masatake YAMATO.
+
+*** New clean-ups
+
+**** `comment-close-slash'.
+With this clean-up, a block (i.e. c-style) comment can be terminated by
+typing a slash at the start of a line.
+
+**** `c-one-liner-defun'
+This clean-up compresses a short enough defun (for example, an AWK
+pattern/action pair) onto a single line.  "Short enough" is configurable.
