+* Changes in MH-E 7.90
+
+Version 7.90 is the first 8.0 beta release and is a release that has
+finally broken away from some unfortunate legacy decisions in favor of
+something that will be easier to use and support. Many bugs were fixed
+and many features were added, including making the pick search
+equivalent to the other types of searches.
+
+The rewrite of the manual accelerated dramatically in recent months
+and drove the changes in this release. In order to make the
+manual--and hence the software--better, clearer, more consistent, more
+predictable, and easier to understand, many variables and functions
+were renamed. The changes to the user-visible variables are listed
+here. It is our hope that you, dear MH-E user, will embrace the
+changes for the better and forgive us from making so many incompatible
+changes.
+
+If you use undocumented functionality, be sure to read the ChangeLog
+for changes that might affect you.
+
+** New Features in MH-E 7.90
+
+*** Entry Points Have Moved
+
+Emacs 21 users must now add `(require 'mh-autoloads)' because the
+entry points (such as `mh-rmail' and `mh-smail') have moved to
+different files which have made the autoloads that come with Emacs
+inaccurate. This change was necessary because the code was reorganized
+to remove circular dependencies, to make the code more stable and
+maintainable, and to reduce the time to load MH-E.
+
+*** MH-E No Longer Calls install-mh
+
+The new variant detection code makes use of `mhparam' which assumes
+that your MH environment has already been set up. The code to call
+`install-mh', which could no longer be run anyway, was removed.
+
+*** Use run-hook-with-args
+
+We use normal hooks whenever possible and do not use
+`run-hook-with-args' (with one documented exception) (closes SF
+#643702).
+
+*** Merge mh-index.el and mh-pick.el
+
+We merged `mh-index.el' and `mh-pick.el' into a new file
+`mh-search.el'. As part of this process, the old `F s' behavior of
+adding messages to the search sequence has been removed. The `F i'
+keybinding was then renamed to `F s' (`mh-search'). The mode of the
+search-pattern buffer was renamed from MH-Pick to MH-Search. Within
+the MH-Search buffer, the command `C-c C-p' (`mh-pick-do-search') now
+runs pick on the given folder recursively and displays the results in
+a search folder like the other search methods (closes SF #829207).
+
+*** Improve Security of mh-fetch-x-image-url
+
+The default has been changed to "Never Fetch." Those of you who like
+the value of "Ask Before Fetching" will have to customize this option
+(closes SF #831278).
+
+*** Remove Emacs 20 Support
+
+As it turns out, we had already added some code that didn't work on
+Emacs 20. However, now we've formalized it and removed code that was
+present solely for Emacs 20 support (closes SF #1359240).
+
+*** Derive mh-letter-mode from mail-mode
+
+MH-Letter mode is now derived from `mail-mode'. We were able to delete
+a lot of code. In return, there are a few `mail-mode' commands that
+are available that may or may not be useful and the `mail-mode-hook'
+is run (closes SF #1385571).
+
+*** Add Choices to mh-to-field-choices
+
+In MH-Letter mode, you can use the "C-c C-f (mh-to-field)" prefix to
+go to and insert fields. The fields "Reply-To:", "Mail-Reply-To:",
+"Mail-Followup-To:" can now be created via the "C-r", "C-a" (for
+author), and "C-l" keys respectively. The key for the "From:" field
+has been renamed from "C-r" to "C-m" for consistency with `mail-mode'
+(closes SF #1400139).
+
+*** MH-Folder Keymap Changes
+
+The function `mh-ps-print-toggle-mime' was never implemented and the
+functionality in `mh-ps-print-msg-show' was better afforded by
+`mh-ps-print-msg' and `mh-ps-print-msg-file'.

+P M          mh-ps-print-toggle-mime       -
+P s          mh-ps-print-msg-show          -
+
+*** MH-Letter Keymap Changes
+
+The change where `mh-letter-mode' derives from `mail-mode' adds a few
+keybindings. Some are interesting; experiment! Most of the changes
+have to do with the renaming of the functions with "mhn" in them to
+"mh" because nmh doesn't use `mhn'. The names were also made
+consistent with the the family of "mml" functions.

+
+*** MH-Search Keymap Changes
+
+These are the changes associated with the new search mode. The command
+`C-c C-c' (`mh-index-do-search') now performs the standard indexed
+search, while `C-c C-p' (`mh-pick-do-search') runs pick as before,
+only better!

+
+** New Variables in MH-E 7.90
+
+*** mh-after-commands-processed-hook
+
+Hook run by `x' (`mh-execute-commands') after performing outstanding
+refile and delete requests.
+
+*** mh-before-commands-processed-hook
+
+Renamed from `mh-folder-updated-hook'. It wasn't clear whether
+`mh-folder-updated-hook' was run before or after the commands were
+executed. We now provide both with clear names.
+
+*** mh-highlight-citation-style
+
+Renamed from `mh-highlight-citation-p' since it wasn't a boolean. The
+new name is also more descriptive.
+
+*** mh-insert-signature-hook
+
+Renamed from `mh-letter-insert-signature-hook' since most of the other
+hooks do not carry the mode in the prefix and because the new name is
+equally clear.
+
+*** mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hooks
+
+Renamed from `mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook'. By convention,
+abnormal hooks, which this is, either have a -function or -hooks
+suffix.
+
+*** mh-mhl-format-file
+
+Renamed from `mhl-formfile' to put it in the MH-E namespace and to be
+consistent with other similar options.
+
+*** mh-mh-to-mime-hook
+
+Renamed from `mh-edit-mhn-hook'. We have a family of `mh-mml-to-mime'
+functions and variables; the older mhn functions and variables were
+renamed to have a consistent `mh-mh-to-mime' prefix.
+
+*** mh-new-messages-folders
+
+Renamed from `mh-index-new-messages-folders' for clarity.
+
+*** mh-path
+
+Additional list of directories to search for MH.
+
+*** mh-redist-full-contents-flag
+
+On means the `dist' command needs entire letter for redistribution.
+This was previously a variable. It's now an option.
+
+*** mh-search-mode-hook
+
+Renamed from `mh-pick-mode-hook' as part of the
+`mh-index.el'/`mh-pick.el' merge into `mh-search.el'.
+
+*** mh-search-program
+
+Renamed from `mh-index-program' as part of the
+`mh-index.el'/`mh-pick.el' merge into `mh-search.el'.
+
+*** mh-sortm-args
+
+Additional arguments for `sortm'. This was previously an internal
+variable. It's now an user-customizable option.
+
+*** mh-speed-update-interval
+
+Renamed from `mh-speed-flists-interval' for clarity.
+
+*** mh-ticked-messages-folders
+
+Renamed from `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders' for clarity.
+
+*** mh-xemacs-tool-bar-position
+
+Renamed from `mh-xemacs-toolbar-position' per GNU Emacs naming conventions.
+
+*** mh-xemacs-use-tool-bar-flag
+
+Renamed from `mh-xemacs-use-toolbar-flag' per GNU Emacs naming conventions.
+
+*** mh-yank-behavior
+
+Renamed from `mh-yank-from-start-of-msg' for clarity.
+
+** Variables Deleted in MH-E 7.90
+
+*** mail-citation-hook
+
+This is already defined in `sendmail.el'.
+
+*** mh-edit-mhn-hook
+
+Renamed to `mh-mh-to-mime-hook'.
+
+*** mh-folder-updated-hook
+
+Renamed to `mh-before-commands-processed-hook'.
+
+*** mh-highlight-citation-p
+
+Renamed to `mh-highlight-citation-style'.
+
+*** mh-index-new-messages-folders
+
+Renamed to `mh-new-messages-folders'.
+
+*** mh-index-program
+
+Renamed to `mh-search-program'.
+
+*** mh-index-ticked-messages-folders
+
+Renamed to `mh-ticked-messages-folders'.
+
+*** mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook
+
+Renamed to `mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hooks'.
+
+*** mh-letter-insert-signature-hook
+
+Renamed to `mh-insert-signature-hook'.
+
+*** mhl-formfile
+
+Renamed to `mh-mhl-format-file'.
+
+*** mh-pick-mode-hook
+
+Renamed to `mh-search-mode-hook'.
+
+*** mh-speed-flists-interval
+
+Renamed to `mh-speed-update-interval'.
+
+*** mh-speed-run-flists-flag
+
+Deleted since setting `mh-speed-flists-interval' to 0 accomplishes the
+same thing.
+
+*** mh-xemacs-toolbar-position
+
+Renamed to `mh-xemacs-tool-bar-position'.
+
+*** mh-xemacs-use-toolbar-flag
+
+Renamed to `mh-xemacs-use-tool-bar-flag'.
+
+*** mh-yank-from-start-of-msg
+
+Renamed to `mh-yank-behavior'.
+
+** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.90
+
+*** Error Message When Trying to Send Using MH-E
+
+This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1002103).
+
+*** "Args out of range" Error in Displaying Message
+
+This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1227504).
+
+*** Front-and-back Truncation in mailto: Rendering
+
+This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1227510).
+
+*** Completions Offered by mh-refile-message Are Not Sorted
+
+This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #698734).
+
+*** Add Message-ID to Outgoing Messages
+
+If you replied to a message in your `+outbox', an `In-Reply-To:'
+header field was created that broke threading at the recipient's end.
+We now add a `Message-ID:' to outgoing messages which fixes this
+(closes SF #725425).
+
+*** Speedbar Creating New Folders Instead of Visiting Existing 
+
+This was actually fixed in 7.4.3 (closes SF #792300).
+
+*** Args Out of Range
+
+This compilation error was actually fixed in 7.4.3 (closes SF
+#806577).
+
+*** Initialization Fails If ~/Mail Exists
+
+MH-E no longer calls `install-mh' so this issue has gone away (closes
+SF #835192).
+
+*** RETURN Causes Infinite Loop in mh-letter
+
+This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #887346).
+
+*** Missing Headers When Replying to All
+
+User needed to edit `replgroupcomps' (closes SF #918194).
+
+*** mh-find-path Doesn't Use mhparam
+
+MH-E no longer peeks into the MH profile `~/.mh_profile' directly. It
+uses `mhparam' instead (closes SF #1016027).
+
+*** mh-index-previous-folder Does Not Work Correctly
+
+If your cursor was on an item below a folder heading and you used
+`M-TAB' (`mh-index-previous-folder'), you would move to the previous
+folder heading. This has been fixed (closes SF #1126188).
+
+*** XEmacs Compile Fails
+
+Compiling produced a "Symbol's value as variable is void: require"
+error on all files. This has been fixed. As a bonus, warnings have
+been reduced from hundreds to just a few (closes SF #1127595).
+
+*** buffer-offer-save Permanent Local
+
+There was a movement to make `buffer-offer-save' a permanent local
+which would have meant that we could not set it in `mh-letter-mode'.
+However, this movement was fraught with issues and was postponed
+(closes SF #1184756).
+
+*** Better Handling of Empty cur Sequence
+
+If you refiled a message into a folder and then used `F r'
+(`mh-rescan-folder') in that folder, your cursor would be taken to the
+first message. The cursor now stays where it was (closes SF #1207247).
+
+*** Name of the Draft File in mh-comp.el
+
+MH is documented to use the draft file. If you use a draft file for
+something else (like Sylpheed), then use draft folders (closes SF
+#1231483).
+
+*** Use Standard Default Notation in Prompts
+
+Emacs changed their defaults in prompts from "Prompt: [value]" to
+"Prompt (default value): ". All MH-E prompts have been updated to
+comply with the new standard (closes SF #1275933).
+
+*** Msg Display Broken After Displaying Msg with Inline Image
+
+Messages with inline images no longer trim certain message header
+fields (closes SF #1306141).
+
+*** mh-visit-folder Munges font-lock-keywords
+
+MH-E broke highlighting in Gnus buffers. This was actually a problem
+in CVS Emacs 22 and has been fixed there (closes SF #1393879).
+
+*** Illegal Filename Chars for W32 Filesystems
+
+Windows users who view `X-Image-URL:' images could not cache the
+images since the cached image file names had illegal characters. This
+has been fixed (closes SF #1396499).
+
+*** mh-send Doesn't Handle mml Insertions Via mail-user-agent
+
+Can now forward messages in Gnus if MH-E is your `mail-user-agent'
+(closes SF #1399307).
