+Release notes for AUCTeX 11.89 with preview-latex
+=================================================
+
+AUCTeX provides by far the most wide-spread and sophisticated
+environment for editing LaTeX, TeX, ConTeXt and Texinfo documents with
+Emacs or XEmacs. Combined with packages like RefTeX, flyspell and
+others it is pretty much without peer as a comprehensive authoring
+solution for a large variety of operating system platforms and TeX
+distributions. It supports document-dependent completion and syntax
+highlighting, easily accessible menus, jumping to error locations in
+the source file, a number of editing shortcuts, intelligent
+indentation and filling of text during entry, and WYSIWYG previews of
+graphical elements like math formulas right in the Emacs source
+buffer, by virtue of its preview-latex component.
+
+One part of the preview-latex subsystem is the central `preview.sty'
+file that is independently useful for a number of applications and is
+available in unbundled form from CTAN.[1]
+
+AUCTeX needs volunteers in particular for non-programming tasks:
+documentation writing, tutorials, translations, reference material,
+sleuth work, testing.
+
+
+New features and fixed bugs in this release
+-------------------------------------------
+
+You can now run all commands needed to compile a document and then
+open the viewer with a single command: 'TeX-command-run-all', bound
+to 'C-c C-a'.
+
+Commands such as LaTeX and View can now be executed conveniently on
+the current section (or part, chapter, subsection, etc). See
+'LaTeX-command-section' and 'LaTeX-command-section-change-level'.
+
+Forward and backward search with Evince now also work when only a
+region of the document is compiled/viewed.
+
+To open the PDF output file you can now use also PDF Tools, a
+document viewer for Emacs. With it, as a plus, forward and
+backward search is accurate at word level.
+
+With new option 'TeX-PDF-via-dvips-ps2pdf' it is possible to
+compile a document to DVI and then convert it to PDF using
+'dvips'-'ps2pdf' before viewing it.
+
+New option 'TeX-file-line-error' allows to select file:line:error
+style for error messages.
+
+Indent '\[...\]' math mode as a regular environment by default.
+
+Now AUCTeX suggests to run 'makeindex' when appropriate.
+
+'TeX-view-program-list' can contain, as third optional element of
+each item, the name of the executable(s) needed to open the viewer.
+
+'TeX-expand-list' variable has been split into 'TeX-expand-list'
+and 'TeX-expand-list-builtin'. Only the former is intended to be
+customized by the user, the latter contains built-in expanders.
+You might want to keep in 'TeX-expand-list' only new expansion
+strings.
+
+When new option 'TeX-check-engine' is non-nil, before running LaTeX
+commands AUCTeX will check whether the correct engine has been set,
+based upon known restrictions posed by LaTeX packages.
+
+Basic support to ConTeXt Mark IV has been added. Users can now
+select the Mark version to be used with new option
+'ConTeXt-Mark-version', and AUCTeX is able to catch error messages
+in the output log of a Mark IV document.
+
+Support for tons of LaTeX packages has been addedd.
+
+Numbers of bugs have been fixed, many minor features have been
+addedd.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+It is required that you use at least GNU Emacs 21 or XEmacs 21.4.
+XEmacs requires at least version 1.84 of the xemacs-base package
+(released on 01/27/2004) or a sumo tarball dated 02/02/2004 or newer
+for compiling AUCTeX: please use the XEmacs package system for
+upgrading if necessary.
+
+The preview-latex subsystem requires image support. This is available
+with GNU Emacs 21.3 under the X window system. For Windows[2], Mac OS
+X (Carbon, Cocoa)[3] or native GTK+ toolkit support, at least version
+22.1 of GNU Emacs is required. Emacs 22 and later is the recommended
+platform for AUCTeX in general. If you prefer XEmacs, it will work in
+version 21.4.10 or later.
+
+You'll also need a working LaTeX installation and Ghostscript.
+dvipng[4] (version 1.4 or later), a very fast DVI converter, can be
+used to speed up the conversion.
+
+Availability
+------------
+
+AUCTeX can be downloaded in various formats from
+<URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>. At release time, we provide the
+source tarball, a precompiled version for Emacs on Windows, and a
+platform-independent XEmacs package file (which you have to install
+yourself using XEmacs' own package system, after using it for removing
+the previous version of AUCTeX). The easiest way for using AUCTeX, of
+course, is using versions of Emacs that already include AUCTeX or a
+software package management system for your operating system which
+provides you with the latest release.
+
+The XEmacs package file can be discerned by `pkg' in its name. It is
+usually more recent than what gets distributed from XEmacs servers and
+as part of the Sumo tarball.
+
+A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the
+tarball, such as ChangeLog, printable manuals, and a reference sheet.
+The download area is mirrored to the directory support/auctex on CTAN.
+AUCTeX is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.
+
+You'll find more information at the web site of AUCTeX
+<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>, including its mailing list
+addresses.
+
+
+Future development and additional information
+---------------------------------------------
+
+AUCTeX is proceeding as a GNU project with the long-term intent of
+merging it into Emacs. For that reason, all new contributors need to
+assign copyright to their contributions to the FSF (the usual
+procedure for Emacs contributors). The same holds for past
+contributors. The principal authors and maintainers have already done
+so, but it would require a diligent and diplomatic volunteer to find
+and ask the rest.
+
+Current project manager is David Kastrup. Paypal contributions to
+<URL:mailto:auctex@gnu.org> would be appreciated in order to
+compensate for time, money and hardware required for presenting AUCTeX
+at conferences. Extensions may be commissioned: enquire on the
+developer list (see above). Other than that, volunteering for tasks
+remains the most effective way of helping AUCTeX development.
