Version 9.0-pre3 of Emacs

Release Notes: A major upgrade was made to keyboard handling: system-selected compositional input methods should now work, as well as more keys and keyboards. XPM, toolbar, and tooltip support were added. Some improvements were made to scrollbars, zooming, italic rendering, pasting, and the color panel. The ns-set-background-alpha function was added to work around the inability to customize with numeric colors.

Release Notes: Emacs 22 has gained fully functional ports for Windows, Mac OS X, and GTK+. Unicode support was improved. The defaults were changed. More integrated packages (Leim, calc, tramp) were added, and lots of other improvements were made.

Release Notes: Font handling and text rendering were reworked to use Kenichi Handa's new font back-end system. The old system can still be used if you start up with "--disable-font-backend", but this will be removed in a future release. Font sets are now supported and automatically created when a font is selected. Recent X11 colors were added to Emacs.clr (but you must remove ~/Library/Colors/Emacs.clr to pick it up). ns-option-modifier, ns-control-modifier, and ns-function-modifier customization variables were added. The menus were updated to Emacs 21+ conventions. The right mouse button now generates mouse-3 events. Various bugfixes and rendering improvements were made.
