 This option allows you to specify environment variables for inferior
 compilation processes without affecting the environment that all
 subprocesses inherit.

+*** Grep commands now have their own submenu and customization group.

+*** The new variables `grep-window-height', `grep-auto-highlight', and
+`grep-scroll-output' can be used to override the corresponding
+compilation mode settings for grep commands.
+
+*** Source line is temporarily highlighted when going to next match.

+*** New key bindings in grep output window:  
+SPC and DEL scrolls window up and down.  C-n and C-p moves to next and
+previous match in the grep window.  RET jumps to the source line of
+the current match.  `n' and `p' shows next and previous match in
+other window, but does not switch buffer.  `{' and `}' jumps to the
+previous or next file in the grep output.  TAB also jumps to the next
+file.

+** Mouse event enhancements:

+*** Mouse clicks on fringes now generates left-fringe or right-fringes
+events, rather than a text area click event.

+*** Mouse events now includes buffer position for all event types.

+*** Function `mouse-set-point' now works for events outside text area.

+text area).

+*** New function `posn-actual-col-row' returns actual glyph coordinates.

+** New function `force-window-update' can initiate a full redisplay of
+one or all windows.  Normally, this is not needed as changes in window
+contents are detected automatically.  However, certain implicit
+changes to mode lines, header lines, or display properties may require
+forcing an explicit window update.
+
+** New function `redirect-debugging-output' can be used to redirect
+debugging output on the stderr file handle to a file.
