Package: emacs
Version: 24.0.90

frame-auto-hide-function has no NEWS entry, and is missing a :version tag.

It needs a NEWS entry (which should contain some mention of "iconify")
because it changes existing behaviour.

Example: I like my diff buffers in a separate frame, so I use:

emacs -Q --eval "(setq special-display-regexps '(\".*diff\\*\"))"

C-x C-f /path/to/modified/file/under/vcs
C-x v =
   -> diff buffer pops up in new frame

Now using "C-x k" to kill the diff buffer iconifies the associated
frame. It used to just delete it (which I think was better, but YMMV).

Ouch!  Someone (TM) is (still) on the wrong track...

I agree: delete, don't iconify.

Will be done as soon as I have fixed some bugs ...

... like this - the argument KILL of `window--delete' is unused.

martin, who feels sorry for the inconvenience

Should be all fixed now.  Closing.
