The RTL sources indicate that they are only available when you compile  
your application using Delphi (-Mdelphi or {$mode delphi}) or ObjFPC (- 
Mobjfpc or {$mode objfpc}) syntax modes.

In terms of what has been added: the various "whatsnew.txt" files in  
the releases, or from svn-web: http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/tags/release_2_4_0/install/doc/whatsnew.txt 
  (that one also contains the "whatsnew" info from previous releases)

In terms of things that may require you to change code or which may  
affect the usage of the compiler: http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_2.4.0 
  (and similar pages for previous releases, linked from the first  
paragraph).
