+Release notes for AUCTeX 11.92 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
+-------------------------------------------
+
+preview-latex is compatible with Ghostscript 9.22 where the
+operator '.runandhide' is removed. All occurrences of
+'.runandhide' in preview-latex are replaced by alternative code
+making it work with Ghostscript 9.22 again.
+
+AUCTeX has a new customize option
+'TeX-math-input-method-off-regexp'. When you begin to input a math
+formula, the current input method is turned off if its name matches
+this regular expression.
+
+In fact this variable was introduced long before, but has not been
+documented in info files nor turned into a customize option with
+'defcustom' until this release.
+
+The window system focus is pulled back to Emacs when viewing with
+evince-compatible viewers if a new customize option
+'TeX-view-evince-keep-focus' is non-nil.
+
+The usual dose of bug fixes was administered.
+
+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.
+
+NOTE: This will be the last release in the 11 series. Version 12 of
+AUCTeX, which is due to come in a few days, will support only GNU
+Emacs 24 or higher.
+
+Availability
+------------
+
+The easiest way for getting AUCTeX, for users running Emacs 24.1 or
+higher, is installing it with GNU ELPA, see
+<URL:https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html> for more information.
+Other download options are available at
+<URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>. At release time, we provide the
+source tarball, 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). You can also
+use 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 AUCTeX managers are Arash Esbati, Mosè Giordano, and Tassilo
+Horn. Everybody is welcome to contribute to the project by reporting
+bugs and suggesting improvements, but the most effective way of
+helping AUCTeX development remains volunteering for tasks.
+
+The following people contributed to this release series (in
+alphabetical order): Ivan Andrus, Ralf Angeli, Masayuki Ataka, Fabrice
+Ben Hamouda, Thomas Baumann, Vincent Belaïche, Berend de Boer, Uwe
+Brauer, Ken Brown, Joshua Buhl, Patrice Dumas, Arash Esbati, Werner
