These are the changes since release 7.5.0:
@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Release 7.5.9 adds the @sc{imail} mail reader; @sc{imail} is a new
+@sc{rmail}-like mail reader that supports @sc{imap} and @sc{mime}.
+Edwin's mail-sending support has also been enhanced to understand
+@sc{mime}, so that it is now possible to send @sc{mime} attachments.
+Numerous changes to the runtime system and to Edwin have been made to
+support these changes.
+
+Additional changes:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Edwin now has rudimentary support for a mouse wheel.
+
+@item
+Edwin buffer-menu now does better job aligning its columns.
+
+@item
+In Edwin, M-x vc-version-other-window now defaults the version if
+unspecified.
+
+@item
+STRING->DECODED-TIME (and consequently other procedures that convert
+RFC-822 time strings) now accepts two-digit years, pivoting around 1970.
+This is a crock, but we have seen recent email messages utilizing such
+strings.
+
+@item
+New procedure SET-STRING-MAXIMUM-LENGTH!.

Release 7.5.8 fixes a nasty uninitialized-memory bug in the Win32
event-handling code. No other system is affected.
