Changes---1.3 rc1a

     * Bug fix: On OS X 10.5 ``Leopard'', Aquamacs consumed a lot of  
CPU power in certain rare circumstances.
     * The minibuffer history is now retained between Aquamacs sessions.
     * LaTeX editing: better support for jumping from and to the PDF  
if Skim.app is installed and used. No configuration is necessary. You  
can jump from Aquamacs to Skim with Shift-Command-Click, or with the  
AUCTeX command ``Jump to PDF'' (enter C-c C-c J RET) and back. You  
will need to \usepackage{pdfsync} in your document preamble and re- 
compile before you can use the feature.
     * Press Command-E to use the region (selected text) for the next  
search operation (Command-F). Suggested by Mathieu Godart.
     * When using Frame Appearance Styles (especially with One Buffer  
One Frame Mode switched off), frames should (mostly) retain their  
original sizes now. Less jumping around!
     * Aquamacs now remembers the positions of frames containing  
*Help*, *Messages* and other buffers.
     * Improved frame positioning and sizing. In particular, *Help*  
frames should be more sensibly sized.
     * Frames can now be tiled (horizontally/vertically) and scattered  
(automatic placement) with functions in the Buffers menu. Tiling code  
by Drew Adams.
     * Spanish keyboards are now better supported (Emulate Spanish  
Keyboard Mode. See Options / Option Key menu.) Patch by Elias Baixas.
     * File names with non-ASCII characters such as German Umlauts or  
accented characters will be displayed and dealt with correctly.  
Reported by Ted Roden.
     * Longlines mode (Soft wrap) has been improved
     * ESS Info file updated from 5.3.0 to 5.3.6
     * Cedet was missing a file and produced errors (JDE Mode).  
Reported by Nick Frolov.
     * ACT-R support fixed.
     * Loading of preferences files revised once more. Preferences.el  
and customizations.el are now loaded along with the user's .emacs, and  
changes to `after-init-hook' should work (e.g. to use the `desktop'  
package) just fine. Based on an issue reported by Phil Kime.

     * The Aquamacs application icon has been revised to look better  
in Leopard's Dock.

     * Many thanks for your donations since the last version was  
published. If you haven't done so lately, please consider making a  
donation to the project at http://aquamacs.org/donate. Your donations  
are essential in keeping the project going--we have no other source of  
income from Aquamacs. We'd like to do great things with Aquamacs, but  
that'll only happen with your support.
