auto-overlays.el -- Announcing new release

[Toby Cubitt]

The Automatic Overlays package allows you to define overlays that are
created (and updated and destroyed) automatically when text in a
buffer matches a regular expression.

Various classes of automatic overlay are provided, to make it easy to
define matches for different text regions: words, lines, regions
enclosed by start and end tags, or regions enclosed by delimiters. You
can also define your own custom classes.
