Here are some new features of Emacs 23. See etc/NEWS for a complete

- Font rendering with Fontconfig and Xft.
- Support for using X displays and text terminals in one session,
and for running as a daemon.
- Shift-selection.
- Smarter minibuffer completion.
- Per-buffer text scaling.
- Directory-local variables.
- New packages for:

Please send bug reports to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org. You can use the
function M-x report-emacs-bug to do this. Mac OS X users should note
that the Carbon port has been removed; see the file nextstep/README for
information about the new Cocoa port.
Many thanks to the rest of the Emacs development team for their hard
work; and to the numerous users who contributed suggestions and bug
reports. Happy hacking.
