Highlights of this release include:
Generalized variables are now in core Emacs Lisp.
An update for the Common Lisp emulation library.
A new major mode for Python.

There are many more changes; for a summary see the etc/NEWS file,
which you can view from Emacs with `C-h n'.

various ChangeLog files in the source distribution.


Printed copies of the Emacs manual are available for purchase from the
Free Software Foundation's online store at:

The version on sale is updated for Emacs 24.2, but the changes in
Emacs 24.3 are relatively minor, so this is still a great reference
book for current Emacs, and buying a copy is a great way to support
the work of the FSF.
