-* Installation Changes in Emacs 27.1
-
-** Emacs now uses GMP, the GNU Multiple Precision library.
-By default, if 'configure' does not find a suitable libgmp, it
-arranges for the included mini-gmp library to be built and used.
-The new 'configure' option '--without-libgmp' uses mini-gmp even if a
-suitable libgmp is available.
-
-** Emacs can now use HarfBuzz as its shaping engine.
-The new configure option '--with-harfbuzz' adds support for the
-HarfBuzz text shaping engine. It is on by default; use './configure
---without-harfbuzz' to build without it. The HarfBuzz text shaping is
-available via new font backend drivers 'xfthb' and 'ftcrhb' for Xft
-and Cairo drawings, respectively, and via the 'harfbuzz' backend on
-MS-Windows. The Harfbuzz text shaping is preferred to the previously
-supported ones, so the font backends that use older shaping engines
-(FLT on GNU and Unix systems and Uniscribe on MS-Windows) are not
-enabled by default; they can be enabled via the 'font-backend' frame
-parameter or via X resources.
-
-** The new configure option '--with-json' adds support for JSON using
-the Jansson library. It is on by default; use './configure
---with-json=no' to build without Jansson support. The new JSON
-functions 'json-serialize', 'json-insert', 'json-parse-string', and
-'json-parse-buffer' are typically much faster than their Lisp
-counterparts from json.el.
-
-** The configure option '--with-cairo' is no longer experimental.
-This builds Emacs with Cairo drawing, and supports built-in printing
-when Emacs is built with GTK+.
-
-** Emacs no longer defaults to using ImageMagick to display images,
-due to security and stability concerns. To override the default, use
-'configure --with-imagemagick'.
-
-** Several configure options now accept an option-argument 'ifavailable'.
-For example, './configure --with-xpm=ifavailable' now configures Emacs
-to attempt to use libxpm but to continue building even if libxpm is
-absent. The other affected options are '--with-gif', '--with-gnutls',
-'--with-jpeg', '--with-png', and '--with-tiff'.
-
-** The etags program now uses the C library's regular expression matcher
-when possible, and a compatible regex substitute otherwise. This will
-let developers maintain Emacs's own regex code without having to also
-support other programs. The new configure option '--without-included-regex'
-forces etags to use the C library's regex matcher even if the regex
-substitute ordinarily would be used to work around compatibility problems.
-
-** Emacs has been ported to the '-fcheck-pointer-bounds' option of GCC.
-This causes Emacs to check bounds of some arrays addressed by its
-internal pointers, which can be helpful when debugging the Emacs
-interpreter or modules that it uses. If your platform supports it you
-can enable it when configuring, e.g., './configure CFLAGS="-g3 -O2
--mmpx -fcheck-pointer-bounds"' on Intel MPX platforms.
-
-** Emacs now normally uses a C pointer type instead of a C integer
-type to implement Lisp_Object, which is the fundamental machine word
-type internal to the Emacs Lisp interpreter. This change aims to
-catch typos and supports '-fcheck-pointer-bounds'. The 'configure'
-option '--enable-check-lisp-object-type' is therefore no longer as
-useful and so is no longer enabled by default in developer builds,
-to reduce differences between developer and production builds.
-
-+++
-** Emacs now uses a "portable dumper" instead of unexec.
-This improves compatibility with memory allocation on modern systems,
-and in particular better supports the Address Space Layout
-Randomization (ASLR) feature, a security technique used by most modern
-operating systems.
-
-When built with the portable dumping support (which is the default),
-Emacs looks for the 'emacs.pdmp' file, generated during the build, in
-its data directory at startup, and loads the dumped state from there.
-The new command-line argument '--dump-file=FILE' allows to specify a
-non-default '.pdmp' file to load the state from; see the node "Initial
-Options" in the Emacs manual for more information.
-
-An Emacs started via a dump file can create a new dump file only if it
-was invoked with the '-batch' option.
-
-Although the portable dumper has been tested, it may have a bug on
-unusual platforms. If you require traditional unexec dumping you can
-use the configure-time option '--with-dumping=unexec'; however, please
-file a bug report describing the situation, as unexec dumping is
-deprecated.
-
-+++
-** The new configure option '--enable-checking=structs' attempts to
-check that the portable dumper code has been updated to match the last
-change to one of the data structures that it relies on.
-
-+++
-** The configure options '--enable-checking=conslist' and
-'--enable-checking=xmallocoverrun' have been withdrawn. The former
-made Emacs irredeemably slow, and the latter made it crash. Neither
-option was useful with modern debugging tools such as AddressSanitizer.
-(See etc/DEBUG for the details of using the modern replacements of the
-removed configure options.)
-
-+++
-** The distribution tarball now has test cases; 'make check' runs them.
-This is intended mostly to help developers.
-
----
-** Emacs now requires GTK 2.24 and GTK 3.10 for the GTK 2 and GTK 3
-builds respectively.
-
-** New make target 'help' shows a summary of common make targets.
-
-** Emacs now builds with dynamic module support by default. Pass
-'--without-modules' to 'configure' to disable dynamic module support.
-
-
-* Startup Changes in Emacs 27.1
-
-+++
-** Emacs now uses the XDG convention for init files.
-For example, it looks for init.el in "~/.config/emacs/init.el", and
-similarly for other init files.
-
-The XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable (which defaults to "~/.config")
-specifies the parent directory of these and other configuration files,
-and will override their traditional locations (the home directory,
-"~/.emacs.d", etc.).
-
-Emacs will still look for init files in their traditional locations if
-XDG_CONFIG_HOME does not exist, so invoking Emacs with
-XDG_CONFIG_HOME='/nowhere' might be useful if your new-location init
-files are scrambled, or if you want to force Emacs to ignore files
-under XDG_CONFIG_HOME for some other reason.
-
-+++
-** Emacs can now be configured using an early init file.
-The file is called 'early-init.el', in 'user-emacs-directory'. It is
-loaded very early in the startup process: before graphical elements
-such as the tool bar are initialized, and before the package manager
-is initialized. The primary purpose is to allow customizing how the
-package system is initialized given that initialization now happens
-before loading the regular init file (see below).
-
-We recommend against putting any customizations in this file that
-don't need to be set up before initializing installed add-on packages,
-because the early init file is read too early into the startup
-process, and some important parts of the Emacs session, such as
-'window-system' and other GUI features, are not yet set up, which could
-make some customization fail to work.
-
-+++
-** Installed packages are now activated *before* loading the init file.
-As a result of this change, it is no longer necessary to call
-'package-initialize' in your init file.
-
-Previously, a call to 'package-initialize' was automatically inserted
-into the init file when Emacs was started. This call can now safely
-be removed. Alternatively, if you want to ensure that your init file
-is still compatible with earlier versions of Emacs, change it to:
-
-(when (< emacs-major-version 27)
- (package-initialize))
-
-However, if your init file changes the values of 'package-load-list'
-or 'package-user-dir', or sets 'package-enable-at-startup' to nil then
-it won't work right without some adjustment:
-- You can move that code to the early init file (see above), so those
- settings apply before Emacs tries to activate the packages.
-- You can use the new 'package-quickstart' so activation of packages
- does not need to pay attention to 'package-load-list' or
- 'package-user-dir' any more.
-
----
-** Emacs now notifies systemd when startup finishes or shutdown begins.
-Units that are ordered after 'emacs.service' will only be started
-after Emacs has finished initialization and is ready for use.
-(If your Emacs is installed in a non-standard location and you copied the
-emacs.service file to eg "~/.config/systemd/user/", you will need to copy
-the new version of the file again.)
-
-
-* Changes in Emacs 27.1
-
-+++
-** 'next/previous-multiframe-window' have been renamed.
-The new names are as follows:
-
- 'next-multiframe-window' -> 'next-window-any-frame'
- 'previous-multiframe-window' -> 'previous-window-any-frame'
-
-The old function names are maintained as aliases for backward
-compatibility.
-
-** emacsclient
-
-+++
-*** emacsclient now supports an 'EMACS_SOCKET_NAME' environment variable.
-The command-line argument '--socket-name' overrides it.
-(The same behavior as for the pre-existing 'EMACS_SERVER_FILE' variable.)
-
-+++
-*** Emacs and emacsclient now default to "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/emacs"
-as the directory for client/server sockets, if Emacs is running
-on a platform or environment that sets the 'XDG_RUNTIME_DIR'
-environment variable to indicate where session sockets should go.
-To get the old, less-secure behavior, you can set the
-'EMACS_SOCKET_NAME' environment variable to an appropriate value.
-
----
-*** When run by root, emacsclient no longer connects to non-root sockets.
-(Instead you can use Tramp methods to run root commands in a non-root Emacs.)
-
-+++
-** New user option 'what-cursor-show-names'.
-When non-nil, 'what-cursor-position' will show the name of the character
-in addition to the decimal/hex/octal representation. Default nil.
-
-+++
-** New function 'network-lookup-address-info'.
-This does IPv4 and/or IPv6 address lookups on hostnames.
-
-+++
-** 'network-interface-list' can now return IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
-IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are now returned by default if available,
-optionally including netmask/broadcast address information.
-
----
-** Control of the threshold for using the 'distant-foreground' color.
-The threshold for color distance below which the 'distant-foreground'
-color of the face will be used instead of the foreground color can now
-be controlled via the new variable 'face-near-same-color-threshold'.
-The default value is 30000, as the previously hard-coded threshold.
-
-+++
-** The function 'read-passwd' uses "*" as default character to hide passwords.
-
-** The function 'read-answer' now accepts not only single character
-answers, but also function keys like F1, character events such as C-M-h,
-and control characters like C-h.
-
-** Lexical binding is now used when evaluating interactive Elisp forms.
-More specifically, lexical-binding is now used for 'M-:', '--eval', as
-well as in the "*scratch*" and "*ielm*" buffers.
-
----
-** The new user option 'tooltip-resize-echo-area' avoids truncating
-tooltip text on GUI frames when tooltips are displayed in the echo
-area. Instead, it resizes the echo area as needed to accommodate the
-full tool-tip text.
-
----
-** Show mode line tooltips only if the corresponding action applies.
-Customize the user option 'mode-line-default-help-echo' to restore the
-old behavior where the tooltip text is also shown when the
-corresponding action does not apply.
-
-+++
-** New hook 'server-after-make-frame-hook'.
-This hook is a convenient place to perform initializations in daemon
-mode which require GUI features to be available. One example is
-restoration of the previous session using the desktop.el package: put
-the call to 'desktop-read' in this hook, if you want the GUI settings
-to be restored, or if desktop.el needs to interact with you during
-restoration of the session.
-
-+++
-** The functions 'set-frame-height' and 'set-frame-width' are now
-commands, and will set the currently selected frame to the height/
-width specified by the numeric prefix.
-
-+++
-** New function 'logcount' calculates an integer's Hamming weight.
-
-+++
-** New function 'libxml-available-p'.
-This function returns non-nil if libxml support is both compiled in
-and available at run time. Lisp programs should use this function to
-detect built-in libxml support, instead of testing for that
-indirectly, e.g., by checking that functions like
-'libxml-parse-html-region' return nil.
-
-+++
-** 'libxml-parse-xml-region' and 'libxml-parse-html-region' take
-a parameter that's called DISCARD-COMMENTS, but it really only
-discards the top-level comment. Therefore this parameter is now
-obsolete, and the new utility function 'xml-remove-comments' can be
-used to remove comments before calling the libxml functions to parse
-the data.
-
-+++
-** A new DOM (the XML/HTML document structure returned by functions
-such as 'libxml-parse-html-region') traversal function has been added:
-'dom-search', which takes a DOM and a predicate and returns all nodes
-that match.
-
-+++
-** The Network Security Manager now allows more fine-grained control
-of what checks to run via the 'network-security-protocol-checks'
-user option.
-
-+++
-** TLS connections have their security tightened by default.
-Most of the checks for outdated, believed-to-be-weak TLS algorithms
-and ciphers are now switched on by default. (In addition, several new
-TLS weaknesses are now warned about.) By default, the NSM will
-flag connections using these weak algorithms and ask users whether to
-allow them. To get the old behavior back (where certificates are
-checked for validity, but no warnings about weak cryptography are
-issued), you can either set 'network-security-protocol-checks' to nil,
-or adjust the elements in that user option to only happen on the 'high'
-security level (assuming you use the 'medium' level).
-
----
-** New user option 'nsm-trust-local-network'.
-Allows skipping Network Security Manager checks for hosts on your
-local subnet(s). It defaults to nil. Usually, there should be no
-need to set this non-nil, and doing that risks opening your local
-network connections to attacks. So be sure you know what you are
-doing before changing the value.
-
-+++
-** Native GnuTLS connections can now use client certificates.
-Previously, this support was only available when using the external
-'gnutls-cli' command. Call 'open-network-stream' with
-':client-certificate t' to trigger looking up of per-server
-certificates via 'auth-source'.
-
-+++
-** New user option 'network-stream-use-client-certificates'.
-When non-nil, 'open-network-stream' performs lookups of client
-certificates using 'auth-source' as if ':client-certificate t' were
-specified iff there is no explicit ':client-certificate' parameter.
-Defaults to nil.
-
-+++
-** New function 'fill-polish-nobreak-p', to be used in
'fill-nobreak-predicate'.
-It blocks line breaking after a one-letter word, also in the case when
-this word is preceded by a non-space, but non-alphanumeric character.
-
-+++
-** The limit on repetitions in regexps has been raised to 2^16-1.
-It was previously limited to 2^15-1. For example, the following
-regular expression was previously invalid, but is now accepted:
-
- x\{32768\}
-
----
-** The German prefix and postfix input methods now support Capital sharp S.
-
----
-** New input methods 'hawaiian-postfix' and 'hawaiian-prefix'.
-
----
-** New input methods 'georgian-qwerty' and 'georgian-nuskhuri'.
-
----
-** New input methods for several variants of the Sami language.
-The Sami input methods include: 'norwegian-sami-prefix',
-'bergsland-hasselbrink-sami-prefix', 'southern-sami-prefix',
-'ume-sami-prefix', 'northern-sami-prefix', 'inari-sami-prefix',
-'skolt-sami-prefix', and 'kildin-sami-prefix'.
-
-+++
-** In Japanese environments that do not specify encodings and are not
-based on MS-Windows, the default encoding is now utf-8 instead of
-japanese-iso-8bit.
-
-+++
-** New function 'exec-path'.
-This function by default returns the value of the corresponding
-user option, but can optionally return the equivalent of 'exec-path'
-from a remote host.
-
-+++
-** The function 'executable-find' supports an optional argument REMOTE.
-This triggers to search the program on the remote host as indicated by
-'default-directory'.
-
-+++
-** New user option 'auto-save-no-message'.
-When set to t, no message will be shown when auto-saving (default
-value: nil).
-
----
-** The value of 'make-cursor-line-fully-visible' can now be a function.
-In addition to nil or non-nil, the value can now be a predicate
-function. Follow mode uses this to control scrolling of its windows
-when the last screen line in a window is not fully visible.
-
-+++
-** New variable 'emacs-repository-branch'.
-It reports the git branch from which Emacs was built.
-
-+++
-** New user option 'switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions'.
-When non-nil, 'switch-to-buffer' uses 'pop-to-buffer-same-window' that
-respects display actions specified by 'display-buffer-alist' and
-'display-buffer-overriding-action'.
-
-+++
-** The option 'switch-to-visible-buffer' is now obsolete.
-Customize 'switch-to-prev-buffer-skip' instead.
-
-+++
-** New option 'switch-to-prev-buffer-skip'.
-This option allows to specify the set of buffers that may be shown by
-'switch-to-prev-buffer' and 'switch-to-next-buffer' more stringently
-than the now obsolete 'switch-to-visible-buffer'.
-
-** New 'flex' completion style
-An implementation of popular "flex/fuzzy/scatter" completion which
-matches strings where the pattern appears as a subsequence. Put
-simply, makes "foo" complete to both "barfoo" and "frodo". Add 'flex'
-to 'completion-styles' or 'completion-category-overrides' to use it.
-
-** The 'completion-common-part' face is now visible by default.
-
-+++
-** New face attribute ':extend' to control face extension at EOL.
-The new face attribute ':extend' controls whether to use the face for
-displaying the empty space beyond end of line (EOL) till the edge of
-the window. By default, this attribute is non-nil only for a small
-number of faces, notably, 'region'; any other face that crosses end of
-line will not affect the display of the empty space at EOL. This is
-to make Emacs behave more like other GUI applications with respect to
-displaying faces that cross line boundaries.
-
-This attribute behaves specially when theme definitions are applied:
-if the theme doesn't specify an explicit value of this attribute for a
-face, the value from the original face definition is inherited.
-Consequently, a theme generally shouldn't specify this attribute
-unless it has a good reason to do so.
-
-** Connection-local variables
-
-+++
-*** Connection-local variables are applied by default like file-local
-and directory-local variables.
-
-+++
-*** The macro 'with-connection-local-variables' has been renamed from
-'with-connection-local-profiles'. No argument PROFILES needed any longer.
-
----
-** New user option 'next-error-verbose' controls when 'next-error'
-outputs a message about the error locus.
-
----
-** New user option 'grep-search-path' defines the directories searched for
-grep hits (this used to be controlled by 'compilation-search-path').
-
----
-** New user option 'emacs-lisp-compilation-search-path' defines the
-directories searched for byte-compiler error messages (this used to
-be controlled by 'compilation-search-path').
-
-** Multicolor fonts such as "Noto Color Emoji" can be displayed on
-Emacs configured with Cairo drawing and linked with cairo >= 1.16.0.
-
-+++
-** Emacs now optionally displays a fill column indicator.
-
-This is similar to what 'fill-column-indicator' package provides, but
-much faster and compatible with 'show-trailing-whitespace'.
-
-Customize the buffer-local user options 'display-fill-column-indicator'
-and 'display-fill-column-indicator-character' to activate the
-indicator.
-
-The indicator is not displayed at all in minibuffer windows and
-in tooltips, as it is not useful there.
-
-There are 2 new buffer local variables and 1 face to customize this
-mode they are described in the manual "(emacs) Display".
-
-+++
-** 'progress-reporter-update' accepts a suffix string to display.
-
----
-** New user option 'xref-file-name-display' controls the display of
-file names in xref buffers.
-
-** New user option 'byte-count-to-string-function'.
-It is used for displaying file sizes and disk space in some cases.
-
-+++
-** Emacs now interprets RGB triplets like HTML, SVG, and CSS do.
-
-The X convention previously used differed slightly, particularly for
-RGB triplets with a single hexadecimal digit per component.
-
----
-** The toolbar now shows the equivalent key binding in its tooltips.
-
----
-** The File menu-bar menu was re-arranged: Print menu items moved to
-submenu, and also added the new entries for tabs.
-
----
-** 'scroll-lock-mode' is now bound to the 'Scroll_Lock' key globally.
-Note that this key binding will not work on MS-Windows systems if
-'w32-scroll-lock-modifier' is non-nil.
-
----
-** 'global-set-key', called interactively, now no longer downcases a
-key binding with an upper case letter - if you can type it, you can
-bind it.
-
-+++
-** 'read-from-minibuffer' now works with buffer-local history variables.
-The HIST argument of 'read-from-minibuffer' now works correctly with
-buffer-local variables. This means that different buffers can have
-their own separated input history list if desired.
-
-** 'backup-by-copying-when-privileged-mismatch' applies to file gid, too.
-In addition to checking the file owner uid, Emacs also checks that the
-group gid is not greater than backup-by-copying-when-privileged-mismatch;
-if so, backup-by-copying-when-mismatch will be forced on.
-
-
-* Editing Changes in Emacs 27.1
-
-+++
-** 'zap-to-char' now uses history of characters you used to zap to.
-'zap-to-char' uses the new 'read-char-from-minibuffer' function to allow
-navigating through the history of characters that have been input.
-This is mostly useful for characters that have complex input methods
-where inputting the character again may involve many keystrokes.
-
-+++
-** 'save-some-buffers' now has a new action in the prompt: 'C-f' will
-exit the command and switch to the buffer currently being asked about.
-
-+++
-** The new 'amalgamating-undo-limit' variable can be used to control
-how many changes should be amalgamated when using the 'undo' command.
-
----
-** The 'newline-and-indent' command (commonly bound to 'RET' in many
-modes) now takes an optional numeric argument to specify how many
-times is should insert newlines (and indent).
-
-+++
-** New command 'make-empty-file'.
-
----
-** New variable 'x-wait-for-event-timeout'.
-This controls how long Emacs will wait for updates to the graphical
-state to take effect (making a frame visible, for example).
-
-+++
-** New user option 'electric-quote-replace-double'.
-This option controls whether '"' is replaced in 'electric-quote-mode',
-in addition to other quote characters. If non-nil, ASCII double-quote
-characters that quote text "like this" are replaced by double
-typographic quotes, “like this”, in text modes, and in comments in
-non-text modes.
-
----
-** New user option 'flyspell-case-fold-duplications'.
-This option controls whether Flyspell mode considers consecutive words
-to be duplicates if they are not in the same case. If non-nil, the
-default, words are considered to be duplicates even if their letters'
-case does not match.
-
----
-** 'write-abbrev-file' now includes special properties.
-'write-abbrev-file' now writes special properties like ':case-fixed'
-for abbrevs that have them.
-
-+++
-** 'write-abbrev-file' skips empty tables.
-'write-abbrev-file' now skips inserting a 'define-abbrev-table' form for
-tables which do not have any non-system abbrevs to save.
-
-+++
-** The new functions and commands 'text-property-search-forward' and
-'text-property-search-backward' have been added. These provide an
-interface that's more like functions like 'search-forward'.
-
----
-** More commands support noncontiguous rectangular regions, namely
-'upcase-dwim', 'downcase-dwim', 'capitalize-dwim', 'capitalize-region',
-'upcase-initials-region', 'replace-string', 'replace-regexp', and
-'delimit-columns-region'.
-
-+++
-** When asked to visit a large file, Emacs now offers visiting it literally.
-Previously, Emacs would only ask for confirmation before visiting
-large files. Now it also offers a third alternative: to visit the
-file literally, as in 'find-file-literally', which speeds up
-navigation and editing of large files.
-
----
-** 'add-dir-local-variable' now uses dotted pair notation syntax to
-write alists of variables to ".dir-locals.el". This is the same
-syntax that you can see in the example of a ".dir-locals.el" file in
-the node "(emacs) Directory Variables" of the user manual.
-
-+++
-** Network connections using 'local' can now use IPv6.
-'make-network-process' now uses the correct loopback address when
-asked to use ':host 'local' and ':family 'ipv6'.
-
-+++
-** The new function 'replace-region-contents' replaces the current
-region using a given replacement-function in a non-destructive manner
-(in terms of 'replace-buffer-contents').
-
-+++
-** The command 'replace-buffer-contents' now has two optional
-arguments mitigating performance issues when operating on huge
-buffers.
-
-+++
-** Dragging 'C-M-mouse-1' now marks rectangular regions.
-
-+++
-** The command 'delete-indentation' now operates on the active region.
-If the region is active, the command joins all the lines in the
-region. When there's no active region, the command works on the
-current and the previous or the next line, as before.
-
-
-* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 27.1
-
----
-** New HTML mode skeleton 'html-id-anchor'.
-This new command (which inserts an <a id="foo">_</a> skeleton) is
-bound to 'C-c C-c #'.
-
-+++
-** New command 'font-lock-refontify'.
-This is an interactive convenience function to be used when developing
-font locking for a mode. It recomputes the font locking data and then
-re-fontifies the buffer.
-
----
-** Font Lock is smarter about fontifying unterminated strings and comments.
-When you type a quote that starts a string, or a comment delimiter
-that starts a comment, font-lock will not immediately refontify the
-following characters in font-lock-string-face or
-font-lock-comment-face. Instead, it will delay the fontification
-beyond the current line to give you a chance to close the string or
-comment. This is controlled by the new customizable variable
-'jit-lock-antiblink-grace', which specifies the delay in seconds. The
-default is 2 seconds; set to nil to get back the old behavior.
-
----
-** The 'C' command in 'tar-mode' will now preserve the timestamp of
-the extracted file if the new user option 'tar-copy-preserve-time' is
-non-nil.
-
----
-** 'autoconf-mode' is now used instead of 'm4-mode' for the
-acinclude.m4/aclocal.m4/acsite.m4 files.
-
----
-** On GNU/Linux, 'M-x battery' will now list all batteries, no matter
-what they're named, and the 'battery-linux-sysfs-regexp' variable has
-been removed.
-
-** The 'list-processes' command now includes port numbers in the
-network connection information (in addition to the host name).
-
-** The 'cl' package is now officially deprecated in favor of 'cl-lib'.
-
----
-** desktop
-*** When called interactively with a prefix arg 'C-u', 'desktop-read'
-now prompts the user for the directory containing the desktop file.
-
-+++
-** display-line-numbers-mode
-
-*** New faces 'line-number-major-tick' and 'line-number-minor-tick',
-and user options 'display-line-numbers-major-tick' and
-'display-line-numbers-minor-tick' can be used to highlight the line
-numbers of lines multiple of certain numbers.
-
-*** New variable 'display-line-numbers-offset', when non-zero, adds
-an offset to absolute line numbers.
-
-+++
-** winner
-*** A new user option, 'winner-boring-buffers-regexp', has been added.
-
-** table
-** 'table-generate-source' and friends now support outputting wiki and
-mediawiki format tables.
-
----
-** telnet-mode
-*** Reverting a buffer in 'telnet-mode' will restart a closed connection.
-
-** goto-addr
-*** A way to more conveniently specify what URI address schemes that
-should be ignored have been added via the
-'goto-address-uri-schemes-ignored' variable.
-
-+++
-** tex-mode
-*** 'latex-noindent-commands' controls indentation of certain commands.
-You can use this new user option to control indentation of arguments of
-\emph, \footnote, and similar commands.
-
-** byte compiler
-*** 'byte-compile-dynamic' is now obsolete.
-This is because on the one hand it suffers from misbehavior in corner
-cases that have plagued it for years, and on the other experiments indicated
-that it doesn't bring any measurable benefit.
-
----
-*** The 'g' keystroke in *Compile-Log* buffers has been bound to a new
-command that will recompile the file previously compiled with 'M-x
-byte-compile-file' and the like.
-
-** compile.el
----
-*** In 'compilation-error-regexp-alist', 'line' (and 'end-line') can
-be functions.
-+++
-*** 'compilation-context-lines' can now take the value t; this is like
-nil, but instead of scrolling the current line to the top of the
-screen when there is no left fringe, it inserts a visible arrow before
-column zero.
----
-*** The new 'compilation-transform-file-match-alist' user option can
-be used to transform file name matches compilation output, and remove
-known false positives being recognized as warnings/errors.
-
-** cl-lib.el
-+++
-*** 'cl-defstruct' has a new ':noinline' argument to prevent inlining
-its functions.
-
-+++
-*** 'cl-defstruct' slots accept a ':documentation' property.
-
----
-*** 'cl-values-list' will now signal an error if its argument isn't a list.
-
-** doc-view.el
-*** New commands 'doc-view-presentation' and 'doc-view-fit-window-to-page'.
-*** Added support for password-protected PDF files
-
-*** A new user option 'doc-view-pdftotext-program-args' has been added
-to allow controlling how the conversion to text is done.
-
-** Ido
-*** New user option 'ido-big-directories' to mark directories whose
-names match certain regular expressions as big. Ido won't attempt to
-list the contents of such directories when completing file names.
-
-** Minibuffer
-
-+++
-*** A new user option, 'minibuffer-beginning-of-buffer-movement', has
-been introduced to allow controlling how the 'M-<' command works in
-the minibuffer. If non-nil, point will move to the end of the prompt
-(if point is after the end of the prompt).
-
-+++
-*** When the minibuffer is active, echo-area messages are displayed at
-the end of the minibuffer instead of hiding the minibuffer by the echo
-area display. The new option 'minibuffer-message-clear-timeout'
-controls how messages displayed in this situation are removed from the
-minibuffer.
-
----
-*** Minibuffer now uses 'minibuffer-message' to display error messages
-at the end of the active minibuffer.
-
-+++
-*** 'y-or-n-p' now uses the minibuffer to read 'y' or 'n' answer.
-
-*** Some commands that previously used read-char-choice now read
-a character using the minibuffer by read-char-from-minibuffer.
-
-** map.el
-*** Now also understands plists.
-*** Now defined via generic functions that can be extended via 'cl-defmethod'.
-*** Deprecate the 'map-put' macro in favor of a new 'map-put!' function.
-*** 'map-contains-key' now returns a boolean rather than the key.
-*** Deprecate the 'testfn' args of 'map-elt' and 'map-contains-key'.
-*** New generic function 'map-insert'.
-
-+++
-*** The 'type' arg can be a list '(hash-table :key1 VAL1 :key2 VAL2 ...)'
-
-** seq.el
-New convenience functions 'seq-first' and 'seq-rest' give easy access
-to respectively the first and all but the first elements of sequences.
-
-The new predicate function 'seq-contains-p' should be used instead of
-the now obsolete 'seq-contains'.
-
----
-** Follow mode
-In the current follow group of windows, "ghost" cursors are no longer
-displayed in the non-selected follow windows. To get the old behavior
-back, customize 'follow-hide-ghost-cursors' to nil.
-
-+++
-** New variable 'warning-fill-column' for 'display-warning'.
-
-** Windmove
-
-*** 'windmove-create-window' when non-nil makes a new window on moving off
-the edge of the frame.
-
-*** Windmove supports directional window display and selection.
-The new command 'windmove-display-default-keybindings' binds default
-keys with provided modifiers (by default, Shift-Meta) to the commands
-that display the next buffer in the window at the specified direction.
-This is like 'windmove-default-keybindings' that binds keys to commands
-that select the window in the specified direction, but additionally it
-displays the buffer from the next command in that window. For example,
-'S-M-right C-h i' displays the "*Info*" buffer in the right window,
-creating the window if necessary. A special key can be customized to
-display the buffer in the same window, for example, 'S-M-0 C-h e'
-displays the "*Messages*" buffer in the same window. 'S-M-t C-h C-n'
-displays NEWS in a new tab.
-
-*** Windmove also supports directional window deletion.
-The new command 'windmove-delete-default-keybindings' binds default
-keys with provided prefix (by default, 'C-x') and modifiers (by default,
-'Shift') to the commands that delete the window in the specified
-direction. For example, 'C-x S-down' deletes the window below.
-With a prefix arg 'C-u', also kills the buffer in that window.
-With 'M-0', deletes the selected window and selects the window
-that was in the specified direction.
-
-*** New command 'windmove-swap-states-in-direction' binds default keys
-to the commands that swap the states of the selected window with the
-window in the specified direction.
-
-*** Windmove code no longer used is now obsolete. That includes the
-user option 'windmove-window-distance-delta' and the functions
-'windmove-coord-add', 'windmove-constrain-to-range',
-'windmove-constrain-around-range', 'windmove-frame-edges',
-'windmove-constrain-loc-for-movement', 'windmove-wrap-loc-for-movement',
-'windmove-reference-loc' and 'windmove-other-window-loc'.
-
-** Octave mode
-The mode is automatically enabled in files that start with the
-'function' keyword.
-
-** project.el
-
-*** New commands 'project-search' and 'project-query-replace-regexp'.
-
-*** New user option 'project-read-file-name-function'.
-
-** Etags
-
-+++
-*** 'next-file' is now an obsolete alias of 'tags-next-file'.
-
-*** 'tags-loop-revert-buffers' is an obsolete alias of
-'fileloop-revert-buffers'.
-
-*** The 'tags-loop-continue' function along with the
-'tags-loop-operate' and 'tags-loop-scan' variables are now obsolete;
-use the new 'fileloop-initialize' and 'fileloop-continue' functions
-instead.
-
-+++
-*** etags is now able to read Zstandard-compressed files.
-
-** bibtex
-
----
-*** New commands 'bibtex-next-entry' and 'bibtex-previous-entry'.
-In 'bibtex-mode-map', 'forward-paragraph' and 'backward-paragraph' are
-remapped to these, respectively.
-
-** Dired
-
----
-*** On systems that support suid/guid files, Dired now fontifies the
-permissions of such files with a special face 'dired-set-id'.
-
-+++
-*** New command 'dired-create-empty-file'.
-
-+++
-*** New command and keystroke 'dired-number-of-marked-files' bound to
-'* N'.
-
-*** The marking commands now report how many files were marked by the
-command itself, not how many files are marked in total.
-
----
-*** A new face, 'dired-special', is used to highlight sockets, named
-pipes, block devices and character devices.
-
-+++
-*** The new user option 'dired-create-destination-dirs' controls whether
-'dired-do-copy' and 'dired-rename-file' should create non-existent
-directories in the destination.
-
-+++
-*** 'dired-dwim-target' can be customized to prefer either the next window,
-or one of the most recently visited windows with a Dired buffer.
-
-*** When the new user option 'dired-vc-rename-file' is non-nil,
-Dired performs file renaming using underlying version control system.
-
-** Find-Dired
-
-*** New user option 'find-dired-refine-function'.
-The default value is 'find-dired-sort-by-filename'.
-
-*** New sorting options for the user option 'find-ls-option'.
-
----
-*** Zstandard compression is now supported for 'dired-do-compress' and
-'dired-do-compress-to'.
-
-** Change Logs and VC
-
----
-*** New user option 'vc-tor'.
-When non-nil, this option causes the VC commands to communicate with
-the repository via Tor's proxy, using the 'torsocks' wrapper script.
-The default is nil.
-
-+++
-*** New command 'log-edit-generate-changelog-from-diff', bound to 'C-c C-w'.
-This generates ChangeLog entries from the VC fileset diff.
-
-*** 'vc-dir' now shows a button allowing you to hide the stash list.
-Controlled by user option 'vc-git-show-stash'. Default t means show
-the entire list as before. An integer value limits the list length
-(but still allows you to show the entire list via the button).
-
-*** Recording ChangeLog entries doesn't require an actual file.
-If a ChangeLog file doesn't exist, and if the new user option
-'add-log-dont-create-changelog-file' is non-nil (which is the
-default), commands such as 'C-x 4 a' will add log entries to a
-suitable named temporary buffer. (An existing ChangeLog file will
-still be used if it exists.) Set the user option to nil to get the
-previous behavior of always creating a buffer that visits a ChangeLog
-file.
-
-*** New user option 'vc-find-revision-no-save'.
-With non-nil, 'vc-find-revision' doesn't write the created buffer to file.
-
----
-*** 'vc-dir-ignore' now takes a prefix argument to ignore all marked files.
-
-*** New user option 'vc-git-grep-template'.
-This new user option allows customizing the default arguments passed to
-'git-grep' when 'vc-git-grep' is used.
-
-*** Command 'vc-git-stash' now respects marks in the "*vc-dir*" buffer.
-When some files are marked, only those are stashed.
-When no files are marked, all modified files are stashed, as before.
-
-*** 'vc-git-stash' has now been bound to the 'C' keystroke in the
-stash headers.
-
-*** Some stash keybindings are now available in the stash button.
-'vc-git-stash' and 'vc-git-stash-snapshot' can now be run using 'C'
-and 'S' respectively, including when there are no stashes.
-
-*** The new hook 'vc-retrieve-tag-hook' runs after retrieving a tag.
-
----
-*** 'vc-hg' now invokes 'smerge-mode' when visiting files.
-Code that attempted to invoke 'smerge-mode' when visiting an Hg file
-with conflicts existed in earlier versions of Emacs, but incorrectly
-never detected a conflict due to invalid assumptions about cached
-values.
-
-+++
-*** The Hg (Mercurial) back-end now supports 'vc-region-history'.
-The 'C-x v h' command now works in buffers that visit files controlled
-by Hg.
-
-+++
-*** The Hg (Mercurial) back-end now prompts for revision to merge when
-you invoke 'C-x v m' ('vc-merge').
-
----
-*** The Hg (Mercurial) back-end now use tags, branches and bookmarks
-instead of revision numbers as completion candidates when it prompts
-for a revision.
-
-+++
-*** 'C-u C-x v D' ('vc-root-version-diff') prompts for two revisions
-and compares their entire trees.
-
-*** New user option 'vc-hg-revert-switches' specifies switches to pass
-to Hg revert.
-
-*** 'C-x v M D' ('vc-diff-mergebase') and 'C-x v M L' ('vc-log-mergebase')
-print diffs and logs between the merge base (common ancestor) of two
-given revisions.
-
-+++
-*** The new 'd' command ('vc-dir-clean-files') in 'vc-dir-mode'
-buffers will delete the marked files (or if no files are marked, the
-file under point). This command does not notify the VC backend, and
-is mostly useful for unregistered files.
-
-*** New command 'vc-log-search' asks for a pattern, searches it
-in the revision log, and displays matched log entries in the
-log buffer. For example, 'M-x vc-log-search RET bug#36644 RET'
-displays all entries whose log messages match the bug number.
-With a prefix argument asks for a command, so for example,
-'C-u M-x vc-log-search RET git log -1 f302475 RET' will display
-just one log entry found by its revision number.
-
-+++
-*** It is now possible to display a specific revision given by its ID.
-If you invoke 'C-x v L' ('vc-print-root-log') with a numeric argument
-of 1, as in 'C-1 C-x v L' or 'C-u 1 C-x v L', it asks for a revision
-ID, and shows its log entry together with the diffs introduced by the
-revision's commit. (For some less capable VCSes, only the log entry
-is shown.)
-
-*** 'C-x v =' can now mimic Magit's diff format.
-Set the new user option 'diff-font-lock-prettify' to t for that, see
-below under "Diff mode".
-
----
-*** The 'diff' function arguments OLD and NEW may each be a buffer
-rather than a file, in non-interactive calls. This change was made in
-Emacs 24.1, but wasn't documented until now.
-
-+++
-*** New command 'diff-buffers' interactively diffs two buffers.
-
-** Diff mode
-+++
-*** Hunks are now automatically refined by font-lock.
-To disable refinement, set the new user option 'diff-refine' to nil.
-To get back the old behavior where hunks are refined as you navigate
-through a diff, set 'diff-refine' to the symbol 'navigate'.
-
-+++
-*** 'diff-auto-refine-mode' is deprecated in favor of 'diff-refine'.
-It is no longer enabled by default and binding it no longer has any
-effect.
-
-+++
-*** Better syntax highlighting of Diff hunks.
-Fragments of source in Diff hunks are now by default highlighted
-according to the appropriate major mode. Customize the new user
-option 'diff-font-lock-syntax' to nil to disable this.
-
-*** File headers can be shortened, mimicking Magit's diff format.
-To enable it, set the new user option 'diff-font-lock-prettify' to t.
-On GUI frames, this option also displays the insertion and deletion
-indicators on the left fringe.
-
-+++
-*** Prefix arg of 'diff-goto-source' means jump to the old revision
-of the file under version control if point is on an old changed line,
-or to the new revision of the file otherwise.
-
-** Texinfo
-
-+++
-*** New function for inserting '@pxref', '@xref', or '@ref' commands.
-The function 'texinfo-insert-dwim-@ref', bound to 'C-c C-c r' by
-default, inserts one of three types of references based on the text
-surrounding point, namely '@pxref' near a parenthesis, '@xref' at the
-start of a sentence or at '(point-min)', else '@ref'.
-
-** Browse-url
-
-*** The function 'browse-url-emacs' can now visit a URL in selected window.
-It now treats the optional 2nd argument to mean that the URL should be
-shown in the currently selected window.
-
-*** A new function, 'browse-url-add-buttons' can be used to add clickable
-links to most ordinary special-mode buffers that display text that
-have URLs embedded. 'browse-url-button-regexp' controls what's
-considered a button.
-
-*** A new user option, 'browse-url-secondary-browser-function', has been added.
-
-** Comint
-
-+++
-*** 'send-invisible' is now an obsolete alias for 'comint-send-invisible'.
-Also, 'shell-strip-ctrl-m' is declared obsolete.
-
-+++
-*** 'C-c .' ('comint-insert-previous-argument') no longer interprets '&'.
-This feature caused problems when '&&' was present in the previous
-command. Since this command emulates 'M-.' in Bash and zsh, neither
-of which treats '&' specially, the feature was removed for
-compatibility with these shells.
-
-+++
-*** 'comint-insert-previous-argument' can now count arguments from the end.
-By default, invoking 'C-c .' with a numeric argument N would copy the
-Nth argument, counting from the first one. But if the new user option
-'comint-insert-previous-argument-from-end' is non-nil, it will copy
-the Nth argument counting from the last one. Thus 'C-c .' can now
-better emulate 'M-.' in both Bash and zsh, since the former counts
-from the beginning of the arguments, while the latter counts from the
-end.
-
-+++
-*** 'comint-run' can now accept a list of switches to pass to the program.
-'C-u M-x comint-run' will prompt for the switches interactively.
-
-*** Abnormal hook `comint-password-function' has been added.
-This hook permits a derived mode to supply a password for the
-underlying command interpreter without prompting the user. For
-example, in sql-mode, the password for connecting to the database may
-be stored in the connection wallet and may be passed on the command
-line to start the SQL interpreter. This is a potential security flaw
-that could expose user's database passwords on the command line
-through the use of a process list (Bug#8427). With this hook, it is
-possible to not pass the password on the command line and wait for the
-program to prompt for the password. When it does so, the password cam
-be supplied to the SQL interpreter without involving the user just as
-if it had been supplied on the command line.
-
-** SQL
-
-*** SQL Indent Minor Mode
-SQL Mode now supports the ELPA 'sql-indent' package for assisting
-sophisticated SQL indenting rules. Note, however, that SQL is not
-like other programming languages like C, Java, or Python where code is
-sparse and rules for formatting are fairly well established. Instead
-SQL is more like COBOL (from which it came) and code tends to be very
-dense and line ending decisions driven by syntax and line length
-considerations to make readable code. Experienced SQL developers may
-prefer to rely upon existing Emacs facilities for formatting code but
-the 'sql-indent' package provides facilities to aid more casual SQL
-developers layout queries and complex expressions.
-
-**** 'sql-use-indent-support' (default t) enables SQL indention support.
-The 'sql-indent' package from ELPA must be installed to get the
-indentation support in 'sql-mode' and 'sql-interactive-mode'.
-
-**** 'sql-mode-hook' and 'sql-interactive-mode-hook' changed.
-Both hook variables have had 'sql-indent-enable' added to their
-default values. If you have existing customizations to these variables,
-you should make sure that the new default entry is included.
-
-*** Connection Wallet
-Database passwords can now by stored in NETRC or JSON data files that
-may optionally be encrypted. When establishing an interactive session
-with the database via 'sql-connect' or a product specific function,
-like 'sql-mysql' or 'my-postgres', the password wallet will be
-searched for the password. The 'sql-product', 'sql-server',
-'sql-database', and the 'sql-username' will be used to identify the
-appropriate authorization. This eliminates the discouraged practice of
-embedding database passwords in your Emacs initialization.
-
-See the 'auth-source' module for complete documentation on the file
-formats. By default, the wallet file is expected to be in the
-'user-emacs-directory', named 'sql-wallet' or '.sql-wallet', with
-'.json' (JSON) or no (NETRC) suffix. Both file formats can optionally
-be encrypted with GPG by adding an additional '.gpg' suffix.
-
-** Term
-
----
-*** 'term-read-noecho' is now obsolete, use 'read-passwd' instead.
-
-+++
-*** 'serial-term' now takes an optional parameter to leave the
-emulator in line mode.
-
-** Flymake
-
-+++
-*** The variable 'flymake-diagnostic-types-alist' is obsolete.
-You should instead set properties on known diagnostic symbols, like
-':error' and ':warning', as demonstrated in the Flymake manual.
-
-*** New user option 'flymake-start-on-save-buffer'.
-Control whether Flymake starts checking the buffer on save.
-
-*** Flymake and backend functions may exchange hints about buffer changes.
-This enables more efficient backends. See the docstring of
-'flymake-diagnostic-functions' or the Flymake manual for details.
-
-+++
-*** 'flymake-start-syntax-check-on-newline' is now obsolete,
-use 'post-self-insert-hook' to check on newline.
-
-** Ruby
-
-*** The Rubocop Flymake diagnostic function will only run Lint cops if
-it can't find the config file.
-
-*** Rubocop is called with 'bundle exec' if Gemfile mentions it.
-
-*** New command 'ruby-find-library-file' bound to 'C-c C-f'.
-
-** Package
-
-*** Warn if "footer line" is missing, but still install package.
-package.el used to refuse to install a package without the so-called
-"footer line", which appears at the very end of the file:
-
-;;; FILENAME ends here
-
-package.el will now install packages without this line, but it will
-issue a warning. To avoid this warning, packages should keep the
-"footer line".
-
-Note that versions of Emacs older than 27.1 will not only refuse to
-install packages without such a line -- they will be unable to parse
-package data. It is therefore recommended to keep this line.
-
-*** Change of 'package-check-signature' for packages with multiple sigs
-In previous Emacsen, 't' checked that all signatures are valid.
-Now 't' only checks that at least one signature is valid and the new 'all'
-value needs to be used if you want to enforce that all signatures
-are valid. This only affects packages with multiple signatures.
-
-+++
-*** The meaning of 'allow-unsigned' in 'package-check-signature' has
-changed slightly: If a usable OpenPGP configuration can't be found
-(for instance, if gpg isn't installed), it now has the same meaning as
-nil.
-
-*** New function 'package-get-version' lets packages query their own version.
-Example use in auctex.el: '(defconst auctex-version (package-get-version))'
-
-*** New 'package-quickstart' feature.
-When 'package-quickstart' is non-nil, package.el precomputes a big
-autoloads file so that activation of packages can be done much faster,
-which can speed up your startup significantly.
-It also causes variables like 'package-user-dir' and
-'package-load-list' to be consulted when 'package-quickstart-refresh'
-is run rather than at startup so you don't need to set them in your
-early init file.
-
-*** New function 'package-activate-all'.
-
-+++
-*** New functions for filtering packages list.
-A new function has been added which allows users to filter the
-packages list by name: 'package-menu-filter-by-name'. By default, it
-is bound to '/ n'. Additionally, the function
-'package-menu-filter-by-keyword' has been renamed from
-'package-menu-filter'. Its keybinding has also been changed to '/ k'
-(from 'f'). To clear any of the two filters, the user can now call
-the 'package-menu-clear-filter' function, bound to '/ /' by default.
-
----
-*** Imenu support has been added to 'package-menu-mode'.
-
----
-*** The package list can now be sorted by version or description.
-
-+++
-*** In Package Menu, 'g' now updates package data from archives.
-Previously, 'g' invoked 'tabulated-list-revert' which did not update
-the cached archive data. It is now bound to 'revert-buffer', which
-will now update the data.
-
-'package-menu-refresh' is an obsolete alias for 'revert-buffer'.
-
-** Info
-
-+++
-*** Clicking on the left/right arrow icon in the Info tool-bar while
-holding down the Ctrl key pops up a menu of previously visited Info nodes
-where you can select a node to go back (like in browsers).
-
----
-*** Info can now follow 'file://' protocol URLs.
-The 'file://' URLs in Info documents can now be followed by passing
-them to the 'browse-url' function, like the other protocols: 'ftp',
-'http', and 'https'. This allows to have references to local HTML
-files, for example.
-
----
-** Display of man pages now limits the width for formatting pages.
-The new user option 'Man-width-max' (80 by default) limits the number
-of columns passed to the 'man' program for formatting man pages. This
-is to enhance readability when man pages are displayed in very wide
-windows (which are customary with today's large displays).
-
-
-** Xref
-
-+++
-*** New command 'xref-find-definitions-at-mouse'.
-This command finds definitions of the identifier at the place of a
-mouse click event, and is intended to be bound to a mouse event.
-
-+++
-*** Changing 'xref-marker-ring-length' works after 'xref.el' is loaded.
-Previously, setting 'xref-marker-ring-length' would only take effect
-if set before 'xref.el' was loaded.
-
----
-*** 'xref-find-definitions' now sets the mark at the buffer position
-where it was invoked.
-
----
-*** New xref faces 'xref-file-header', 'xref-line-number', 'xref-match'.
-
-*** New user option 'xref-show-definitions-function'.
-It encapsulates the logic pertinent to showing the result of
-'xref-find-definitions'. The user can change it to customize its
-behavior and the display of results.
-
-*** Search results show the buffer even for one hit.
-The search-type Xref commands (e.g. 'xref-find-references' or
-'project-find-regexp') now show the results buffer even when there is
-only one hit. This can be altered by changing
-'xref-show-xrefs-function'.
-
-*** Xref buffers support refreshing the search results.
-A new command 'xref-revert-buffer' is bound to 'g'.
-
----
-*** Imenu support has been added to 'xref--xref-buffer-mode'.
-
-** Icomplete
-
-+++
-*** New minor mode Fido mode.
-This mode is based on Icomplete, and its name stands for "Fake Ido".
-The point of this mode is to be an ido-mode workalike, but provide
-most of the functionality present in Icomplete that is not in
-ido-mode, while being much more compatible with all of Emacs's
-completion facilities.
-
-** Ecomplete
-
-*** The ecomplete sorting has changed to a decay-based algorithm.
-This can be controlled by the new 'ecomplete-sort-predicate' user option.
-
-*** The 'ecompleterc' file is now placed in "~/.emacs.d/ecompleterc" by
default.
-Of course it will still find it if you have it in "~/.ecompleterc".
-
-** Gnus
-
----
-*** 'mm-uu-diff-groups-regexp' now defaults to matching all groups,
-which means that "git am" diffs are recognized everywhere.
-
-+++
-*** Two new Gnus summary mode navigation commands have been added,
-bound to the '[' and ']' keys: 'gnus-summary-prev-unseen-article' and
-'gnus-summary-next-unseen-article'. These take you (respectively) to
-the previous unseen or next unseen article. (These are the ones that
-are marked with "." in the summary mode lines.)
-
-+++
-*** The Gnus user variable 'nnimap-expunge' supports three new values:
-'never' for never expunging messages, 'immediately' for immediately
-expunging deleted messages, and 'on-exit' to expunge deleted articles
-when exiting the group's summary buffer. Setting 'nnimap-expunge' to
-'nil' or 't' is still supported but not recommended, since it may
-result in Gnus expunging all messages that have been flagged as
-deleted by any IMAP client (rather than just those that have been
-deleted by Gnus).
-
-+++
-*** New user option 'gnus-use-atomic-windows' makes Gnus window layouts
-atomic. See the "Atomic Windows" section of the Elisp manual for
-details.
-
-+++
-*** There's a new value for 'gnus-article-date-headers',
-'combined-local-lapsed', which will show both the time (in the local
-timezone) and the lapsed time.
-
----
-*** Gnus now maps imaps to 993 only on old MS-Windows versions.
-The nnimap backend used to do this unconditionally to work around
-problems on old versions of MS-Windows. This is now done only for
-Windows XP and older.
-
-+++
-*** The nnimap backend now has support for IMAP namespaces.
-This feature can be enabled by setting the new 'nnimap-use-namespaces'
-server variable to non-nil.
-
-+++
-*** A prefix argument to 'gnus-summary-limit-to-score' will limit reverse.
-Limit to articles with score at below.
-
-*** The function 'gnus-score-find-favorite-words' has been renamed
-from 'gnus-score-find-favourite-words'.
-
----
-*** Gmane has been removed as an nnir backend, since Gmane no longer
-has a search engine.
-
-+++
-*** Splitting mail on common mailing list headers has been added.
-See the concept index in the Gnus manual for the 'match-list' entry.
-
-+++
-*** nil is no longer an allowed value for 'mm-text-html-renderer'.
-
-+++
-The default value of 'mm-inline-large-images' has changed from nil to
-'resize', which means that large images will be resized instead of
-displayed with an external program by default.
-
-+++
-*** A new Gnus summary mode command, 'S A'
-('gnus-summary-attach-article') can be used to attach the current
-article(s) to a pre-existing Message buffer, or create a new Message
-buffer with the article(s) attached.
-
-+++
-*** A new Gnus summary mode command, 'w'
-('gnus-summary-browse-url') scans the article buffer for URLs, and
-offers them to the user to open with 'browse-url'.
-
----
-*** New user option 'nnir-notmuch-filter-group-names-function'.
-This option controls whether and how to use Gnus search groups as
-'path:' search terms to 'notmuch'.
-
----
-*** The buttons in the Gnus article buffer were formerly widgets
-(i.e., buttons from widget.el). This has now changed, and they are
-now buttons (from button.el), and commands like 'TAB' now search for
-buttons instead of widgets. There should be no user-visible changes,
-but out-of-tree code that relied on widgets being present might now
-fail.
-
-** erc
-
----
-*** New hook 'erc-insert-done-hook'.
-This hook is called after strings have been inserted into the buffer,
-and is free to alter point and window configurations, as it's not
-called from inside a 'save-excursion', as opposed to
-'erc-insert-post-hook'.
-
----
-*** 'erc-button-google-url' has been renamed to 'erc-button-search-url'
-and its value has been changed to Duck Duck Go.
-
----
-*** 'erc-send-pre-hook' and 'erc-send-this' have been obsoleted.
-The user option to use instead to alter text to be sent is now
-'erc-pre-send-functions'.
-
-** EUDC
-
-*** XEmacs support has been removed.
-
-** eww/shr
-
-+++
-*** The new user option 'shr-cookie-policy' can be used to control
-when to use cookies when fetching embedded images. The default is to
-use them when the images are from the same domain as the main HTML
-document.
-
-+++
-*** The 'eww' command can now create a new EWW buffer.
-Invoking the command with a prefix argument will cause it to create a
-new EWW buffer for the URL instead of reusing the default one.
-
-+++
-*** Clicking with the Ctrl key or 'C-u RET' on a link opens a new tab
-when tab-bar-mode is enabled.
-
-+++
-*** The 'd' ('eww-download') command now falls back to current page's URL.
-If this command is invoked with no URL at point, it now downloads the
-current page instead of signaling an error.
-
-*** When opening external links in eww/shr (typically with the
-'C-u RET' keystroke on a link), the link will be flashed with the new
-'shr-selected-link' face to give the user feedback that the command
-has been executed.
-
-+++
-*** New user option 'shr-discard-aria-hidden'.
-If set, shr will not render tags with attribute 'aria-hidden="true"'.
-This attribute is meant to tell screen readers to ignore a tag.
-
-+++
-*** 'shr-external-browser' has been made into an obsolete alias
-of 'browse-url-secondary-browser-function'.
-
----
-*** 'shr-tag-ol' now respects the ordered list 'start' attribute.
-
----
-*** The following tags are now handled: '<code>', '<abbr>', and '<acronym>'.
-
-** Htmlfontify
-
-*** The functions 'hfy-color', 'hfy-color-vals' and
-'hfy-fallback-color-values' and the variables 'hfy-fallback-color-map'
-and 'hfy-rgb-txt-color-map' have been renamed from names that used
-'colour' instead of 'color'.
-
-+++
-** Enriched mode supports the 'charset' text property.
-You can add or modify the 'charset' text properties of text using the
-'Edit->Text Properties->Special Properties' menu, or by invoking the
-'facemenu-set-charset' command. Documents in Enriched mode will be
-saved with the charset properties, and those properties will be
-restored when the file is visited.
-
-** Smtpmail
-
-*** Authentication mechanisms can be added via external packages, by
-defining new 'cl-defmethod' of 'smtpmail-try-auth-method'.
-
-*** To always force smtpmail to send credentials over on the first
-attempt when communicating with the SMTP server(s), the
-'smtpmail-servers-requiring-authorization' user option can be used.
-
-+++
-*** smtpmail will now try resending mail when getting a transient 4xx
-error message from the SMTP server. The new 'smtpmail-retries'
-user option says how many times to retry.
-
-** Footnote mode
-
-*** Support Hebrew-style footnotes
-*** Footnote text lines are now aligned.
-Can be controlled via the new user option 'footnote-align-to-fn-text'.
-
-** CSS mode
-
----
-*** A new command 'css-cycle-color-format' for cycling between color
-formats (e.g. "black" => "#000000" => "rgb(0, 0, 0)") has been added,
-bound to 'C-c C-f'.
-
----
-*** CSS mode, SCSS mode, and Less CSS mode now have support for Imenu.
-
-** SGML mode
-
----
-*** 'sgml-quote' now handles double quotes and apostrophes
-when escaping text and in addition all numeric entities when
-unescaping text.
-
-** Python mode
-
----
-*** Python mode supports three different font lock decoration levels.
-The maximum level is used by default; customize
-'font-lock-maximum-decoration' to tone down the decoration.
-
----
-*** New user option 'python-pdbtrack-kill-buffers'.
-If non-nil, the default, buffers opened during pdbtracking session are
-killed when pdbtracking session is finished.
-
----
-*** New function 'python-shell-send-region'.
-It send the statement delimited by 'python-nav-beginning-of-statement' and
-'python-nav-end-of-statement' to the inferior Python process.
-
-
-** Help
-
----
-*** Description of variables and functions give an estimated first release.
-
----
-*** Output format of 'C-h l' ('view-lossage') has changed.
-For convenience, 'view-lossage' now displays the last keystrokes
-and commands in the same format as the edit buffer of
-'edit-last-kbd-macro'. This makes it possible to copy the lines from
-the buffer generated by 'view-lossage' to the "*Edit Macro*" buffer
-created by 'edit-last-kbd-macro', and to save the macro by 'C-c C-c'.
-
----
-*** The list of help commands produced by 'C-h C-h' ('help-for-help')
-can now be searched via 'C-s'.
-
-** Ibuffer
-
----
-*** New filter 'ibuffer-filter-by-process'; bound to '/ E'.
-
----
-*** All mode filters can now accept a list of symbols.
-This means you can now easily filter several major modes, as well
-as a single mode.
-
-** Search and Replace
-
-*** Isearch supports a prefix argument for 'C-s' ('isearch-repeat-forward')
-and 'C-r' ('isearch-repeat-backward'). With a prefix argument, these
-commands repeat the search for the specified occurrence of the search string.
-A negative argument repeats the search in the opposite direction.
-This makes possible also to use a prefix argument for 'M-s .'
-('isearch-forward-symbol-at-point') to find the next Nth symbol.
-Also a prefix argument is supported for 'isearch-yank-until-char',
-'isearch-yank-word-or-char', 'isearch-yank-symbol-or-char'.
-
-*** To go to the first/last occurrence of the current search string
-is possible now with new commands 'isearch-beginning-of-buffer' and
-'isearch-end-of-buffer' bound to 'M-s M-<' and 'M-s M->' in Isearch.
-With a numeric argument, they go to the Nth absolute occurrence
-counting from the beginning/end of the buffer. This complements
-'C-s'/'C-r' that searches for the next Nth relative occurrence
-with a numeric argument.
-
-*** 'isearch-lazy-count' shows the current match number and total number
-of matches in the Isearch prompt. User options
-'lazy-count-prefix-format' and 'lazy-count-suffix-format' define the
-format of the current and the total number of matches in the prompt's
-prefix and suffix respectively.
-
-*** 'lazy-highlight-buffer' highlights matches in the full buffer.
-It is useful in combination with 'lazy-highlight-cleanup' customized to nil
-to leave matches highlighted in the whole buffer after exiting isearch.
-Also when 'lazy-highlight-buffer' prepares highlighting in the buffer,
-navigation through the matches without flickering is more smooth.
-'lazy-highlight-buffer-max-at-a-time' controls the number of matches to
-highlight in one iteration while processing the full buffer.
-
-+++
-*** New isearch bindings.
-
-'C-M-z' invokes new function 'isearch-yank-until-char', which yanks
-everything from point up to but not including the specified
-character into the search string. This is especially useful for
-keyboard macros.
-
-'C-M-w' in isearch changed from 'isearch-del-char' to the new function
-'isearch-yank-symbol-or-char'. 'isearch-del-char' is now bound to
-'C-M-d'.
-
-+++
-'M-s h l' invokes 'highlight-lines-matching-regexp' using the search
-string to highlight lines matching the search string. This is similar
-to the existing binding 'M-s h r' ('highlight-regexp') that highlights
-JUST the search string.
-
-+++
-*** New user option 'isearch-yank-on-move' provides options 't' and 'shift'
-to extend the search string by yanking text that ends at the new
-position after moving point in the current buffer. 'shift' extends
-the search string by motion commands while holding down the shift key.
-
-*** 'isearch-allow-scroll' provides new option 'unlimited' to allow
-scrolling any distance off screen.
-
----
-*** Isearch now remembers the regexp-based search mode for words/symbols
-and case-sensitivity together with search strings in the search ring.
-
----
-*** Isearch now has its own tool-bar and menu-bar menu.
-
-+++
-*** 'flush-lines' prints and returns the number of deleted matching lines.
-
----
-*** 'char-fold-to-regexp' now matches more variants of a base character.
-The table used to check for equivalence of characters is now built
-using the complete chain of unicode decompositions of a character,
-rather than stopping after one level, such that searching for
-e.g. "GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA" will now also find "GREEK SMALL LETTER
-IOTA WITH OXIA".
-
-+++
-*** New char-folding options: 'char-fold-include' lets you add ad hoc
-foldings, 'char-fold-exclude' to remove foldings from default decomposition,
-and 'char-fold-symmetric' to search for any of an equivalence class of
-characters. For example, with a 'nil' value of 'char-fold-symmetric'
-you can search for "e" to find "é", but not vice versa. With a non-nil
-value you can search for either, for example, you can search for "é"
-to find "e".
-
-** Debugger
-
-+++
-*** The Lisp Debugger is now based on 'backtrace-mode'.
-Backtrace mode adds fontification and commands for changing the
-appearance of backtrace frames. See the node "(elisp) Backtraces" in
-the Elisp manual for documentation of the new mode and its commands.
-
-** Edebug
-
-+++
-*** 'edebug-eval-last-sexp' and 'edebug-eval-print-last-sexp' interactively
-now take a zero prefix analogously to the non-Edebug counterparts.
-
-+++
-*** New faces 'edebug-enabled-breakpoint' and 'edebug-disabled-breakpoint'.
-When setting breakpoints in Edebug, an overlay with these faces are
-placed over the point in question, depending on whether they are
-enabled or not.
-
-+++
-*** New command 'edebug-toggle-disable-breakpoint'.
-This command allows you to disable a breakpoint temporarily. This is
-mainly useful with breakpoints that are conditional and would take
-some time to recreate.
-
-+++
-*** New command 'edebug-unset-breakpoints'.
-To clear all breakpoints in the current form, the 'U' command in
-'edebug-mode', or 'M-x edebug-unset-breakpoints' can be used.
-
----
-*** Re-instrumenting a function with Edebug will now try to preserve
-previously-set breakpoints. If the code has changed substantially,
-this may not be possible.
-
-+++
-*** New command 'edebug-remove-instrumentation.
-This command removes Edebug instrumentation from all functions that
-have been instrumented.
-
-+++
-*** The runtime behavior of Edebug's instrumentation can be changed
-using the new variables 'edebug-behavior-alist',
-'edebug-after-instrumentation-function' and
-'edebug-new-definition-function'. Edebug's behavior can be changed
-globally or for individual definitions.
-
-+++
-*** Edebug's backtrace buffer now uses 'backtrace-mode'.
-Backtrace mode adds fontification, links and commands for changing the
-appearance of backtrace frames. See the node "(elisp) Backtraces" in
-the Elisp manual for documentation of the new mode and its commands.
-
-The binding of 'd' in Edebug's keymap is now 'edebug-pop-to-backtrace'
-which replaces 'edebug-backtrace'. Consequently Edebug's backtrace
-windows now behave like those of the Lisp Debugger and of ERT, in that
-when they appear they will be the selected window.
-
-The new 'backtrace-goto-source' command, bound to 's', works in
-Edebug's backtraces on backtrace frames whose source code has
-been instrumented by Edebug.
-
-** Enhanced xterm support
-
-*** New user option 'xterm-set-window-title' controls whether Emacs sets
-the XTerm window title. This feature is experimental and is disabled
-by default.
-
-** Grep
-
-+++
-*** 'rgrep', 'lgrep' and 'zrgrep' now hide part of the command line
-that contains a list of ignored directories and files.
-Clicking on the button with ellipsis unhides it.
-The abbreviation can be disabled by the new user option
-'grep-find-abbreviate'. The new command
-'grep-find-toggle-abbreviation' toggles it interactively.
-
-*** 'grep-find-use-xargs' is now customizable with sorting options.
-
-** ERT
-
-+++
-*** New variable 'ert-quiet' allows to make ERT output in batch mode
-less verbose by removing non-essential information.
-
-+++
-*** ERT's backtrace buffer now uses 'backtrace-mode'.
-Backtrace mode adds fontification and commands for changing the
-appearance of backtrace frames. See the node "(elisp) Backtraces" in
-the Elisp manual for documentation of the new mode and its commands.
-
-** Gamegrid
-
----
-*** Gamegrid now determines its default glyph size based on display
-dimensions, instead of always using 16 pixels. As a result, Tetris,
-Snake and Pong are more playable on HiDPI displays.
-
----
-*** 'gamegrid-add-score' can now sort scores from lower to higher.
-This is useful for games where lower scores are better, like time-based games.
-
-** Filecache
-
----
-*** Completing filenames in the minibuffer via 'C-TAB' now uses the
-styles as configured by the user option 'completion-styles'.
-
-** New macros 'thunk-let' and 'thunk-let*'.
-These macros are analogue to 'let' and 'let*', but create bindings that
-are evaluated lazily.
-
-** next-error
-
-+++
-*** New user option 'next-error-find-buffer-function'.
-The value should be a function that determines how to find the
-next buffer to be used by 'next-error' and 'previous-error'. The
-default is to use the last buffer that navigated to the current
-error.
-
-+++
-*** New command 'next-error-select-buffer'.
-It can be used to set any buffer as the next one to be used by
-'next-error' and 'previous-error'.
-
-** nxml-mode
-
----
-*** The default value of 'nxml-sexp-element-flag' is now t.
-This means that pressing 'C-M-SPACE' now selects the entire tree by
-default, and not just the opening element.
-
-** Eshell
-
-*** TAB completion uses the standard 'completion-at-point' rather than
-'pcomplete'. Its UI is slightly different but can be customized to
-behave similarly, e.g. Pcomplete's default cycling can be obtained
-with '(setq completion-cycle-threshold 5)'.
-
----
-*** Eshell no longer re-initializes its keymap every call.
-This allows users to use (define-key eshell-mode-map ...) as usual.
-Some modules have their own minor mode now to account for these
-changes.
-
-+++
-*** Expansion of history event designators is disabled by default.
-To restore the old behavior, use
-
- (add-hook 'eshell-expand-input-functions
- #'eshell-expand-history-references)
-
----
-*** The function 'eshell-uniquify-list' has been renamed from
-'eshell-uniqify-list'.
-
-*** The function 'eshell/kill' is now able to handle signal switches.
-Previously 'eshell/kill' would fail if provided a kill signal to send
-to the process. It now accepts signals specified either by name or by
-its number.
-
----
-*** Emacs now follows symlinks in history-related files.
-The files specified by 'eshell-history-file-name' and
-'eshell-last-dir-ring-file-name' can include symlinks; these are now
-followed when Emacs writes the relevant history variables to the disk.
-
-** Shell
-
----
-*** Program name completion inside remote shells works now as expected.
-
-+++
-*** The user option 'shell-file-name' can be set now as connection-local
-variable for remote shells. It still defaults to "/bin/sh".
-
-** Single shell commands
-
-+++
-*** 'async-shell-command-width' defines the number of display columns
-available for output of asynchronous shell commands.
-
-+++
-*** Prompt for shell commands can now show the current directory.
-Customize the new user option 'shell-command-prompt-show-cwd' to enable it.
-
-** Pcomplete
-
-*** The 'pcomplete' command is now obsolete.
-The Pcomplete functionality can be obtained via 'completion-at-point'
-instead, by adding 'pcomplete-completions-at-point' to
-'completion-at-point-functions'.
-
-*** The function 'pcomplete-uniquify-list' has been renamed from
-'pcomplete-uniqify-list'.
-
----
-*** 'pcomplete/make' now completes on targets in included files, recursively.
-To recover the previous behavior, set new user option
-'pcmpl-gnu-makefile-includes' to nil.
-
-** Auth-source
-
----
-*** The Secret Service backend supports the ':create' key now.
-
-*** ".authinfo" and ".netrc" files now use a new mode: 'authinfo-mode'.
-This is just like 'fundamental-mode', except that it hides passwords
-under a "****" display property. When the cursor moves to this text,
-the real password is revealed (via 'reveal-mode'). The new
-'authinfo-hidden' user option can be used to control what to hide.
-
-** Tramp
-
-+++
-*** New connection method "nextcloud", which allows to access OwnCloud
-or NextCloud hosted files and directories.
-
-+++
-*** New connection method "rclone", which allows to access system
-storages via the 'rclone' program. This feature is experimental.
-
-+++
-*** New connection method "sudoedit", which allows to edit local files
-with different user credentials. Contrary to the "sudo" method, no
-session is run permanently in the background. This is for security
-reasons.
-
-+++
-*** Connection methods "obex" and "synce" are removed, because they
-are obsoleted in GVFS.
-
-+++
-*** Validated passwords are saved by auth-source backends which support this.
-
-+++
-*** During user and host name completion in the minibuffer, results
-from auth-source search are taken into account. This can be disabled
-by setting the user option 'tramp-completion-use-auth-sources' to nil.
-
-+++
-*** The user option 'tramp-ignored-file-name-regexp' allows to disable
-Tramp for some look-alike remote file names.
-
-+++
-*** For some connection methods, like "su" or "sudo", the host name in
-ad-hoc multi-hop file names must match the previous hop. Default host
-names are adjusted to the host name from the previous hop.
-
-+++
-*** For the connection methods "sudo" and "doas" there exists a
-timeout, after which the underlying session is disabled. This is for
-security reasons.
-
-+++
-*** For some connection methods, like "sshx" or "plink", it is
-possible to configure the remote login shell. This avoids problems
-with remote hosts, where "/bin/sh" is a link to a shell which
-cooperates badly with Tramp.
-
-+++
-*** New commands 'tramp-rename-files' and 'tramp-rename-these-files'.
-They allow to save remote files somewhere else when the corresponding
-host is not reachable anymore.
-
-** Rcirc
-
----
-*** New user option 'rcirc-url-max-length'.
-Setting this option to an integer causes URLs displayed in Rcirc
-buffers to be truncated to that many characters.
-
----
-*** The default '/quit' and '/part' reasons are now configurable.
-Two new user options are provided for this:
-'rcirc-default-part-reason' and 'rcirc-default-quit-reason'.
-
-** Register
-
----
-*** The return value of method 'register-val-describe' includes the
-names of buffers shown by the windows of a window configuration.
-
----
-** The options.el library has been removed.
-It was obsolete since Emacs 22.1, replaced by customize.
-
-** The tls.el and starttls.el libraries are now marked obsolete.
-Use of built-in libgnutls based functionality (described in the Emacs
-GnuTLS manual) is recommended instead.
-
-** Message
-
-*** Completion of email addresses can use the standard completion UI
-This is controlled by 'message-expand-name-standard-ui'.
-With the standard UI the different sources (ecomplete, bbdb, and eudc)
-are matched together and try to obey 'completion-styles'.
-It should work for other completion front ends like Company.
-
-*** 'message-mode' now supports highlighting citations of different depths.
-This can be customized via the new user option
-'message-cite-level-function' and the new 'message-cited-text-*' faces.
-
-+++
-*** Messages can now be systematically encrypted
-when the PGP keyring contains a public key for every recipient. To
-achieve this, add 'message-sign-encrypt-if-all-keys-available' to
-'message-send-hook'.
-
----
-*** When replying a message that have addresses on the form
-'"address@hidden" <address@hidden>', Message will elide the repeated "name"
-from the address field in the response.
-
----
-*** The default of 'message-forward-as-mime' has changed from t to nil
-as it has been reported that many recipients can't read forwards that
-are formatted as MIME digests.
-
-+++
-*** 'message-forward-included-headers' has changed its default to
-exclude most headers when forwarding.
-
-*** 'mml-secure-openpgp-sign-with-sender' sets also "gpg --sender"
-When 'mml-secure-openpgp-sign-with-sender' is non-nil message sender's
-email address (in addition to its old behavior) will also be used to
-set gpg's "--sender email@domain" option.
-
-The option is useful for two reasons when verifying the signature:
-
- 1. GnuPG's TOFU statistics are updated for the specific user id
- (email) only. See gpg(1) man page about "--sender".
-
- 2. GnuPG's '--auto-key-retrieve' functionality can use WKD (web key
- directory) method for finding the signer's key. You need GnuPG
- 2.2.17 to fully benefit from this feature. See gpg(1) man page for
- '--auto-key-retrieve'.
-
----
-** EasyPG
-
----
-*** 'epa-pinentry-mode' is renamed to 'epg-pinentry-mode'.
-It now applies to epg functions as well as epa functions.
-
----
-*** The alias functions 'epa--encode-coding-string',
-'epa--decode-coding-string', and 'epa--select-safe-coding-system' have
-been removed. Use 'encode-coding-string', 'decode-coding-string', and
-'select-safe-coding-system' instead.
-
-*** 'epg-context' structure supports now 'sender' slot.
-The value of the new 'sender' slot (if a string) is used to set gpg's
-'--sender' option. This feature is used by
-'mml-secure-openpgp-sign-with-sender'. See gpg(1) manual page about
-'--sender' for more information.
-
----
-** Rmail
-
-+++
-*** New user option 'rmail-output-reset-deleted-flag'.
-If this option is non-nil, messages appended to an output file by the
-'rmail-output' command have their Deleted flag reset.
-
-*** The command 'rmail-summary-by-senders' with an empty argument
-selects the messages to summarize with a regexp that matches the
-sender of the current message.
-
-** Threads
-
-+++
-*** New variable 'main-thread' holds Emacs's main thread.
-This is handy in Lisp programs that run on a non-main thread and want
-to signal the main thread, e.g., when they encounter an error.
-
-+++
-*** 'thread-join' returns the result of the finished thread now.
-
-+++
-*** 'thread-signal' does not propagate errors to the main thread.
-Instead, error messages are just printed in the main thread.
-
----
-*** 'thread-alive-p' is now obsolete, use 'thread-live-p' instead.
-
-+++
-*** New command 'list-threads' shows Lisp threads.
-See the current list of live threads in a tabulated-list buffer which
-automatically updates. In the buffer, you can use 's q' or 's e' to
-signal a thread with quit or error respectively, or get a snapshot
-backtrace with 'b'.
-
-** thingatpt.el
-
----
-*** 'thing-at-point' supports a new "thing" called 'uuid'.
-A symbol 'uuid' can be passed to 'thing-at-point' and it returns the
-UUID at point.
-
----
-*** 'number-at-point' will now recognize hex numbers like 0xAb09 and #xAb09
-and return them as numbers.
-
----
-*** 'word-at-point' and 'sentence-at-point' accept NO-PROPERTIES.
-Just like 'thing-at-point' itself.
-
-** Interactive automatic highlighting
-
-+++
-*** 'highlight-regexp' can now highlight subexpressions.
-The new command accepts a prefix numeric argument to choose the
-subexpression.
-
-** Mouse display of minor mode menu
-
----
-*** 'minor-mode-menu-from-indicator' now displays full minor mode name.
-When there is no menu for a mode, display the mode name after the
-indicator instead of just the indicator (which is sometimes cryptic).
-
-** rx
-
----
-*** rx now handles raw bytes in character alternatives correctly,
-when given in a string. Previously, '(any "\x80-\xff")' would match
-characters U+0080...U+00FF. Now the expression matches raw bytes in
-the 128...255 range, as expected.
-
----
-*** The rx 'or' and 'seq' forms no longer require any arguments.
-(or) produces a regexp that never matches anything, while (seq)
-matches the empty string, each being an identity for the operation.
-This also works for their aliases: '|' for 'or'; ':', 'and' and
-'sequence' for 'seq'.
-The symbol 'unmatchable' can be used as an alternative to (or).
-
----
-*** 'regexp' and new 'literal' accept arbitrary lisp as arguments.
-In this case, 'rx' will generate code which produces a regexp string
-at run time, instead of a constant string.
-
----
-*** New rx extension mechanism: 'rx-define', 'rx-let', 'rx-let-eval'.
-These macros add new forms to the rx notation.
-
-+++
-*** 'anychar' is now an alias for 'anything'.
-Both match any single character; 'anychar' is more descriptive.
-
-+++
-*** New 'intersection' form for character sets.
-With 'or' and 'not', it can be used to compose character-matching
-expressions from simpler parts.
-
-+++
-*** 'not' argument can now be a character or single-char string.
-
-** Frames
-
-+++
-*** New command 'make-frame-on-monitor' makes a frame on the specified monitor.
-
-+++
-*** New value of 'minibuffer' frame parameter 'child-frame'.
-This allows to create and parent immediately a minibuffer-only child
-frame when making a frame.
-
----
-*** New predicates 'display-blink-cursor-p' and 'display-symbol-keys-p'.
-These predicates are to be preferred over 'display-graphic-p' when
-testing for blinking cursor capability and the capability to have
-symbols (e.g., '[return]', '[tab]', '[backspace]') as keys respectively.
-
-** Tabulated List mode
-
-+++
-*** New user options for tabulated list sort indicators.
-You can now customize which sorting indicator character to display
-near the current column in Tabulated Lists (see user options
-'tabulated-list-gui-sort-indicator-asc',
-'tabulated-list-gui-sort-indicator-desc',
-'tabulated-list-tty-sort-indicator-asc', and
-'tabulated-list-tty-sort-indicator-desc').
-
-+++
-*** Two new commands and keystrokes have been added to the tabulated
-list mode: 'w' (which widens the current column) and 'c' which makes
-the current column contract.
-
-+++
-*** New function 'tabulated-list-clear-all-tags'.
-This function clears all tags from the padding area in the current
-buffer. Tags are typically added by calling 'tabulated-list-put-tag'.
-
-** Text mode
-
-+++
-*** 'text-mode-variant' is now obsolete, use 'derived-mode-p' instead.
-
-** CUA mode
-
----
-*** New user option 'cua-rectangle-terminal-modifier-key'.
-This user option allows for the customization of the modifier key used
-in a terminal frame.
-
-** JS mode
-
----
-*** JSX syntax is now automatically detected and enabled.
-If a file imports Facebook's 'React' library, or if the file uses the
-extension '.jsx', then various features supporting XML-like syntax
-will be supported in 'js-mode' and derivative modes. ('js-jsx-mode'
-no longer needs to be enabled.)
-
----
-*** New user option 'js-jsx-detect-syntax' disables automatic detection.
-This is turned on by default.
-
----
-*** New user option 'js-jsx-syntax' enables JSX syntax unconditionally.
-This is off by default.
-
----
-*** New variable 'js-jsx-regexps' controls JSX detection.
-
----
-*** JSX syntax is now highlighted like SGML.
-
----
-*** JSX code is properly indented in many more scenarios.
-Previously, JSX indentation usually only worked when an element was
-wrapped in parenthesis (e.g. in a 'return' statement or a function
-call). It would also fail in many intricate cases. Now, indentation
-should work anywhere without parenthesis; many more intricacies are
-supported; and, indentation conventions align more closely with those
-of the React developer community (see 'js-jsx-align->-with-<'),
-otherwise still adhering to SGML conventions.
-
----
-*** New user option 'js-jsx-align->-with-<' controls '>' indents.
-Commonly in JSX code, a '>' on its own line is indented at the same
-level as its opening '<'. This is the new default for JSX. This
-behavior is slightly different than that used by SGML in Emacs, where
-'>' is indented at the same level as attributes, which was also the
-old default for JSX.
-
-This is turned on by default. To get back the old default indentation
-behavior of aligning '>' with attributes, set 'js-jsx-align->-with-<'
-to nil.
-
----
-*** Indentation uses 'js-indent-level' instead of 'sgml-basic-offset'.
-Since JSX is a syntax extension of JavaScript, it makes the most sense
-for JSX expressions to be indented the same number of spaces as other
-JS expressions. This is a breaking change, but it probably aligns
-with how you'd expect this indentation to behave. If you want JSX to
-be indented like JS, you won't need to change your config.
-
-The old behavior can be emulated by controlling JSX indentation
-independently of JS, by setting 'js-jsx-indent-level'.
-
----
-*** New user option 'js-jsx-indent-level' for different JSX indentation.
-If you wish to indent JSX by a different number of spaces than JS, set
-this user option to the desired number.
-
----
-*** New user option 'js-jsx-attribute-offset' for JSX attribute indents.
-
----
-*** New variable 'js-syntactic-mode-name' controls mode name display.
-Previously, the mode name was simply 'JavaScript'. Now, when a syntax
-extension like JSX is enabled, the mode name is 'JavaScript[JSX]'.
-Set this variable to nil to disable the new behavior.
-
----
-*** New function 'js-use-syntactic-mode-name' for deriving modes.
-Packages deriving from 'js-mode' with 'define-derived-mode' should
-call this function to add enabled syntax extensions to their mode
-name, too.
-
-** Autorevert
-
-*** New user option 'auto-revert-avoid-polling' for saving power.
-When set to a non-nil value, buffers in Auto Revert mode are no longer
-polled for changes periodically. This reduces the power consumption
-of an idle Emacs, but may fail on some network file systems; set
-'auto-revert-notify-exclude-dir-regexp' to match files where
-notification is not supported. The default value is nil.
-
-*** New variable 'buffer-auto-revert-by-notification'
-A major mode can declare that notification on the buffer's default
-directory is sufficient to know when updates are required, by setting
-the new variable 'buffer-auto-revert-by-notification' to a non-nil
-value. Auto Revert mode can use this information to avoid polling the
-buffer periodically when 'auto-revert-avoid-polling' is non-nil.
-
----
-*** 'global-auto-revert-ignore-buffer' can now also be a predicate
-function that can be used for more fine-grained control of which
-buffers to auto-revert.
-
-** auth-source-pass
-
-+++
-*** New user option 'auth-source-pass-filename'.
-Allows setting the path to the password-store, defaults to
-"~/.password-store".
-
-+++
-*** New user option 'auth-source-pass-port-separator'.
-Specifies separator between host and port, defaults to colon ":".
-
----
-*** Minimize the number of decryptions during password lookup.
-This makes the package usable with physical tokens requiring touching
-a sensor for every decryption.
-
----
-*** 'auth-source-pass-get' is now autoloaded.
-
-** Bookmarks
-
----
-*** 'bookmark-file' and 'bookmark-old-default-file' are now obsolete
-aliases of 'bookmark-default-file'.
-
-*** New user option 'bookmark-watch-bookmark-file'.
-When non-nil, watch whether the bookmark file has changed on disk.
-
----
-*** The old bookmark file format is no longer supported.
-This bookmark file format has not been used in Emacs since at least
-version 19.34, released in 1996, and will no longer be automatically
-converted to the new bookmark file format.
-
-The following functions are now declared obsolete:
-bookmark-grok-file-format-version, bookmark-maybe-upgrade-file-format,
-bookmark-upgrade-file-format-from-0, bookmark-upgrade-version-0-alist
-
----
-** The mantemp.el library is now marked obsolete.
-This library generates manual C++ template instantiations. It should
-no longer be useful on modern compilers, which do this automatically.
-
-** Ispell
-
----
-*** New hook 'ispell-change-dictionary-hook'.
-This runs after changing the dictionary and could be used to
-automatically spellcheck a buffer when changing language without
-needing to advice 'ispell-change-dictionary'.
-
-** scroll-lock
-
----
-*** New command 'scroll-lock-next-line-always-scroll'.
-This command is bound to 'S-down' and scrolls the buffer up in
-particular when the end of the buffer is visible in the window.
-
-** mwheel.el
-
----
-*** 'mwheel-install' is now obsolete.
-Use 'mouse-wheel-mode' instead. Note that 'mouse-wheel-mode' is
-already enabled by default on most graphical displays.
-
-** Gravatar
-
-+++
-*** 'gravatar-cache-ttl' is now a number of seconds.
-The previously used timestamp format of a list of integers is still
-supported, but is deprecated. The default value has not changed.
-
-+++
-*** 'gravatar-size' can now be nil.
-This results in the use of Gravatar's default size of 80 pixels.
-
-+++
-*** The default fallback gravatar is now configurable.
-This is possible using the new user options 'gravatar-default-image'
-and 'gravatar-force-default'.
-
-** ada-mode
-
-*** The built-in ada-mode is now deleted. The GNU ELPA package is a
-good replacement, even in very large source files.
-
-** time-stamp
-
-*** New '%5z' conversion for 'time-stamp-format' gives time zone offset.
-Specifying '%5z' in 'time-stamp-format' or 'time-stamp-pattern'
-expands to the time zone offset, e.g., '+0100'. The time zone used is
-specified by 'time-stamp-time-zone'.
-
-Because this feature is new in Emacs 27.1, do not use it in the local
-variables section of any file that might be edited by an older version
-of Emacs.
-
-*** Some conversions recommended for 'time-stamp-format' have changed.
-The new documented/recommended %-conversions are closer to those
-used by 'format-time-string' and are compatible at least as far back
-as Emacs 22.1 (released in 2007).
-
-Uppercase abbreviated day name of week: was %3A, now %#a
-Full day name of week: was %:a, now %:A
-Uppercase abbreviated month name: was %3B, now %#b
-Full month name: was %:b, now %:B
-Four-digit year: was %:y, now %Y
-Lowercase timezone name: was %z, now %#Z
-Fully-qualified host name: was %s, now %Q
-Unqualified host name: (was none), now %q
-Login name: was %u, now %l
-User's full name: was %U, now %L
-
-Merely having '(add-hook 'before-save-hook 'time-stamp)' in your
-Emacs init file does not expose you to this change. However,
-if you set 'time-stamp-format' or 'time-stamp-pattern' with a
-file-local variable, you may need to update the value.
-
-** mode-local
-*** Declare 'define-overload' and 'define-child-mode' as obsolete
-*** Rename several internal functions to use a ''mode-local-' prefix
-
-** CC Mode
-
-+++
-*** You can now flag "wrong style" comments with font-lock-warning-face.
-To do this, use c-toggle-comment-style, if needed, to set the desired
-default comment style (block or line); then set the option
-c-mark-wrong-style-of-comment to non-nil.
+* Installation Changes in Emacs 28.1
-* New Modes and Packages in Emacs 27.1
-
-** Tab Bars
-
-+++
-*** Tab Bar mode
-The new command 'tab-bar-mode' enables the tab bar at the top of each
-frame, where you can use tabs to switch between named persistent
-window configurations.
-
-The 'C-x t' sequence is the new prefix key for tab-related commands:
-'C-x t 2' creates a new tab; 'C-x t 0' deletes the current tab;
-'C-x t b' switches to buffer in another tab; 'C-x t f' and 'C-x t C-f'
-edit file in another tab; and 'C-TAB' and 'S-C-TAB' switch to the next
-or previous tab. You can also switch between tabs and create/delete
-tabs with a mouse.
-
-Tab-related commands are available even when 'tab-bar-mode' is
-disabled: by default, they enable 'tab-bar-mode' in that case.
-
-The X resource "tabBar", class "TabBar" enables the tab bar
-when its value is "on", "yes" or "1".
-
-The user option 'tab-bar-position' specifies where to show the tab bar.
-
-Read the new Info node "(emacs) Tab Bars" for full description
-of all related features.
-
-*** Tab Line mode
-The new command 'global-tab-line-mode' enables the tab line above each
-window, which you can use to switch buffers in the window. Selecting
-the previous window-local tab is the same as typing 'C-x <LEFT>'
-('previous-buffer'), selecting the next tab is the same as 'C-x <RIGHT>'
-('next-buffer'). Both commands support a numeric prefix argument as
-a repeat count. Clicking on the plus icon adds a new buffer to the
-window-local tab line of buffers. Using the mouse wheel on the tab
-line scrolls tabs.
-
-** fileloop.el lets one setup multifile operations like search&replace.
-
-+++
-** Emacs can now visit files in archives as if they were directories.
-This feature uses Tramp and works only on systems which support GVFS,
-i.e. GNU/Linux, roughly spoken. See the node "(tramp) Archive file
-names" in the Tramp manual for full documentation of these facilities.
-
-+++
-** New library for writing JSONRPC applications (https://jsonrpc.org).
-The 'jsonrpc' library enables writing Emacs Lisp applications that
-rely on this protocol. Since the protocol is designed to be
-transport-agnostic, the library provides an API to implement new
-transport strategies as well as a separate API to use them. A
-transport implementation for process-based communication, such as is
-used by the Language Server Protocol (LSP), is readily available.
-
-+++
-** Backtrace mode improves viewing of Elisp backtraces.
-Backtrace mode adds pretty printing, fontification and ellipsis
-expansion to backtrace buffers produced by the Lisp debugger, Edebug
-and ERT. See the node "(elisp) Backtraces" in the Elisp manual for
-documentation of the new mode and its commands.
-
-+++
-** so-long.el helps to mitigate performance problems with long lines.
-When 'global-so-long-mode' has been enabled, visiting a file with very
-long lines will (subject to configuration) cause the user's preferred
-'so-long-action' to be automatically invoked (by default, the buffer's
-major mode is replaced by 'so-long-mode'). In extreme cases this can
-prevent delays of several minutes, and make Emacs responsive almost
-immediately. Type 'M-x so-long-commentary' for full documentation.
+* Startup Changes in Emacs 28.1
-* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 27.1
-
----
-** Incomplete destructive splicing support has been removed.
-Support for Common Lisp style destructive splicing (",.") was
-incomplete and broken for a long time. It has now been removed.
-
-This means that backquote substitution now works for identifiers
-starting with a period ("."). Consider the following example:
-
- (let ((.foo 42)) `,.foo)
-
-In the past, this would have incorrectly evaluated to '(\,\. foo)',
-but will now instead evaluate to '42'.
-
----
-** The REGEXP in 'magic-mode-alist' is now matched case-sensitively.
-Likewise for 'magic-fallback-mode-alist'.
-
-+++
-** 'add-hook' does not always add to the front or the end any more.
-The replacement of 'append' with 'depth' implies that the function is
-not always added to the very front (when append/depth is nil) or the
-very end (when append/depth is t) any more because other functions on
-the hook may have specified higher/lower depths. This makes it
-possible to control the ordering of functions more precisely, as was
-already possible in 'add-function' and 'advice-add'.
-
-
-** In 'compilation-error-regexp-alist' the old undocumented feature
-where 'line' could be a function of 2 arguments has been dropped.
-
-** 'define-fringe-bitmap' is always defined, even when Emacs is built
-without any GUI support.
-
----
-** Just loading a theme's file no longer activates the theme's settings.
-Loading a theme with 'M-x load-theme' still activates the theme, as it
-did before. However, loading the theme's file with 'M-x load-file',
-or using 'require' or 'load' in a Lisp program, doesn't actually apply
-the theme's settings until you either invoke 'M-x enable-theme' or
-type 'M-x load-theme'. (In a Lisp program, calling 'enable-theme' or
-invoking 'load-theme' with NO-ENABLE argument omitted or nil has the
-same effect of activating a theme whose file has been loaded.) The
-special case of the 'user' theme is an exception: it is frequently
-used for ad-hoc customizations, so the settings of that theme are by
-default applied immediately.
-
-The variable 'custom--inhibit-theme-enable' controls this behavior;
-its default value changed in Emacs 27.1.
-
-** The REPETITIONS argument of 'benchmark-run' can now also be a variable.
-
-** Interpretation of relative 'HOME' directory has changed.
-If "$HOME" is set to a relative file name, 'expand-file-name' now
-interprets it relative to the directory where Emacs was started, not
-relative to the 'default-directory' of the current buffer. We recommend
-always setting "$HOME" to an absolute file name, so that its meaning is
-independent of where Emacs was started.
-
-** 'file-name-absolute-p' no longer considers "~foo" to be an absolute
-file name if there is no user named "foo".
-
-** The FILENAME argument to 'file-name-base' is now mandatory and no
-longer defaults to 'buffer-file-name'.
-
-+++
-** File metadata primitives now signal an error if I/O, access, or
-other serious errors prevent them from determining the result.
-Formerly, these functions often (though not always) returned nil.
-For example, if there is an access error, I/O error or low-level
-integer overflow when getting the attributes of a file F,
-'(file-attributes F)' now signals an error instead of returning nil.
-These functions still behave as before if the only problem is that the
-file does not exist. The affected primitives are
-'directory-files-and-attributes', 'file-acl', 'file-attributes',
-'file-modes', 'file-newer-than-file-p', 'file-selinux-context',
-'file-system-info', and 'set-visited-file-modtime'.
-
----
-** The function 'eldoc-message' now accepts a single argument.
-Programs that called it with multiple arguments before should pass
-them through 'format' first. Even that is discouraged: for ElDoc
-support, you should set 'eldoc-documentation-function' instead of
-calling 'eldoc-message' directly.
-
-** Old-style backquotes now generate an error.
-They have been generating warnings for a decade. To interpret
-old-style backquotes as new-style, bind the new variable
-'force-new-style-backquotes' to t.
-
-** Defining a Common Lisp structure using 'cl-defstruct' or
-'cl-struct-define' whose name clashes with a builtin type (e.g.,
-'integer' or 'hash-table') now signals an error.
-
-** When formatting a floating-point number as an octal or hexadecimal
-integer, Emacs now signals an error if the number is too large for the
-implementation to format.
-
-** 'logb' now returns infinity when given an infinite or zero argument,
-and returns a NaN when given a NaN. Formerly, it returned an extreme
-fixnum for such arguments.
-
----
-** Some functions and variables obsolete since Emacs 22 have been removed:
-archive-mouse-extract, assoc-ignore-case, assoc-ignore-representation,
-backward-text-line, blink-cursor, bookmark-exit-hooks,
-c-opt-op-identitier-prefix, comint-use-prompt-regexp-instead-of-fields,

----
-** Further functions and variables obsolete since Emacs 24 have been removed:
-default-directory-alist, dired-default-directory,
-dired-default-directory-alist, dired-enable-local-variables,
-dired-hack-local-variables, dired-local-variables-file, dired-omit-here-always.
-
-** Garbage collection no longer treats miscellaneous objects specially;
-they are now allocated like any other pseudovector. As a result, the
-'garbage-collect' and 'memory-use-count' functions no longer return a
-'misc' component, and the 'misc-objects-consed' variable has been
-removed.
-
-+++
-** Reversed character ranges are no longer permitted in 'rx'.
-Previously, ranges where the starting character is greater than the
-ending character were silently omitted.
-For example, '(rx (any "@z-a" (?9 . ?0)))' would match '@' only.
-Now, such 'rx' expressions generate an error.
-
----
-** Internal 'rx' functions and variables have been removed,
-as a consequence of an improved implementation. Packages using
-these should use the public 'rx' and 'rx-to-string' instead.
-'rx-constituents' is still available for compatibility, but the new
-extension mechanism is preferred: 'rx-define', 'rx-let' and
-'rx-let-eval'.
-
-+++
-** 'text-mode' no longer sets the value of 'indent-line-function'.
-The global value of 'indent-line-function', which defaults to
-'indent-relative', will no longer be reset locally when turning on
-'text-mode'.
-
-To get back the old behavior, add a function to 'text-mode-hook' which
-performs '(setq-local indent-line-function #'indent-relative)'.
-
-** 'make-process' no longer accepts a non-nil ':stop' key. This has
-never worked reliably, and now causes an error.
-
-+++
-** 'eventp' no longer returns non-nil for lists whose car is nil.
-This is consistent with the fact that nil, though a symbol, is not a
-valid event type.
-
----
-** The obsolete package xesam.el (since Emacs 24) has been removed.
-
-+++
-** The XBM image handler now accepts a ':stride' argument, which should
-be specified in image specs representing the entire bitmap as a single
-bool vector.
-
-+++
-** 'regexp-quote' may return its argument string.
-If the argument needs no quoting, it can be returned instead of a copy.
-
-+++
-** Mouse scroll up and down with control key modifier changes font size.
-Previously, the control key modifier was used to scroll up or down by
-an amount which was close to near a full screen. This is now instead
-available by scrolling with the meta modifier key.
-
-To get the old behavior back, customize the user option
-'mouse-wheel-scroll-amount', or add the following to your init file:
-
-(customize-set-variable 'mouse-wheel-scroll-amount
- '(5 ((shift) . 1) ((control) . nil)))
-
-By default, the font size will be changed in the window that the mouse
-pointer is over. To change this behavior, you can customize the user
-option 'mouse-wheel-follow-mouse'. Note that this will also affect
-scrolling.
-
-** Mouse scroll up and down with control key modifier also works on images
-where it scales the image under the mouse pointer.
-
----
-** help-follow-symbol now signals 'user-error' if point (or the
-position pointed to by the argument POS) is not in a symbol.
+* Changes in Emacs 28.1
-* Lisp Changes in Emacs 27.1
-
-+++
-** New macro 'benchmark-progn'.
-This macro works like 'progn', but messages how long it takes to
-evaluate the body forms. The value of the last form is the return
-value.
-
-+++
-** New function 'read-char-from-minibuffer'.
-This function works like 'read-char', but uses 'read-from-minibuffer'
-to read a character, so it maintains a history that can be navigated
-via usual minibuffer keystrokes 'M-p'/'M-n'.
-
-** New variables 'set-message-function' and 'clear-message-function'
-can be used to specify functions to show and clear messages that
-normally are displayed in the echo area.
-
-** 'setq-local' can now set an arbitrary number of variables, which
-makes the syntax more like 'setq'.
-
-** 'reveal-mode' can now also be used for more than to toggle between
-invisible and visible: It can also toggle 'display' properties in
-overlays. This is only done on 'display' properties that have the
-'reveal-toggle-invisible' property set.
-
-+++
-** 'process-contact' now takes an optional NO-BLOCK argument to allow
-not waiting for a process to be set up.
-
----
-** New variable 'read-process-output-max' controls sub-process throughput.
-This variable determines how many bytes can be read from a sub-process
-in one read operation. The default, 4096 bytes, was previously a
-hard-coded constant. Setting it to a larger value might enhance
-throughput of reading from sub-processes that produces vast
-(megabytes) amounts of data in one go.
-
-+++
-** The new user option 'quit-window-hook' is now run first when
-executing the 'quit-window' command.
-
-** The user options 'help-enable-completion-auto-load',
-'help-enable-auto-load' and 'vhdl-project-auto-load', as well as the
-function 'vhdl-auto-load-project' have been renamed to have "autoload"
-without the hyphen in their names. Obsolete aliases from the old
-names have been added.
-
-+++
-** Buttons (created with 'make-button' and related functions) can
-now use the 'button-data' property. If present, the data in this
-property will be passed on to the 'action' function instead of the
-button itself in 'button-activate'.
-
-** 'defcustom' now takes a ':local' keyword that can be either t or
-'permanent', which mean that the variable should be automatically
-buffer-local. 'permanent' also sets the variable's 'permanent-local'
-property.
-
-+++
-** The new macro 'with-suppressed-warnings' can be used to suppress
-specific byte-compile warnings.
-
-+++
-** The new macro 'ignore-error' is like 'ignore-errors', but takes a
-specific error condition, and will only ignore that condition. (This
-can also be a list of conditions.)
-
----
-** The new function 'byte-compile-info-message' can be used to output
-informational messages that look pleasing during the Emacs build.
-
----
-** New 'help-fns-describe-variable-functions' hook.
-Makes it possible to add metadata information to 'describe-variable'.
-
-** i18n (internationalization)
-
-*** ngettext can be used now to return the right plural form
-according to the given numeric value.
-
-+++
-** 'inhibit-null-byte-detection' is renamed to 'inhibit-nul-byte-detection'.
-
-+++
-** 'self-insert-command' takes the char to insert as (optional) argument.
-
-** 'lookup-key' can take a list of keymaps as argument.
-
-+++
-** 'condition-case' now accepts 't' to match any error symbol.
-
-+++
-** New function 'proper-list-p'.
-Given a proper list as argument, this predicate returns its length;
-otherwise, it returns nil. 'format-proper-list-p' is now an obsolete
-alias for the new function.
-
-+++
-** Emacs Lisp integers can now be of arbitrary size.
-Emacs uses the GNU Multiple Precision (GMP) library to support
-integers whose size is too large to support natively. The integers
-supported natively are known as "fixnums", while the larger ones are
-"bignums". The new predicates 'bignump' and 'fixnump' can be used to
-distinguish between these two types of integers.
-
-All the arithmetic, comparison, and logical (a.k.a. "bitwise")
-operations where bignums make sense now support both fixnums and
-bignums. However, note that unlike fixnums, bignums will not compare
-equal with 'eq', you must use 'eql' instead. (Numerical comparison
-with '=' works on both, of course.)
-
-Since large bignums consume a lot of memory, Emacs limits the size of
-the largest bignum a Lisp program is allowed to create. The
-nonnegative value of the new variable 'integer-width' specifies the
-maximum number of bits allowed in a bignum. Emacs signals an integer
-overflow error if this limit is exceeded.
-
-Several primitive functions formerly returned floats or lists of
-integers to represent integers that did not fit into fixnums. These
-functions now simply return integers instead. Affected functions
-include functions like 'encode-char' that compute code-points, functions
-like 'file-attributes' that compute file sizes and other attributes,
-functions like 'process-id' that compute process IDs, and functions like
-'user-uid' and 'group-gid' that compute user and group IDs.
-
-+++
-** overflow-error is now documented as a subcategory of range-error.
-Formerly it was undocumented, and was (incorrectly) a subcategory
-of domain-error.
-
-** Time values
-
-+++
-*** New function 'time-convert' converts Lisp time values to Lisp
-timestamps of various forms, including a new timestamp form '(TICKS
-. HZ)' where TICKS is an integer and HZ a positive integer denoting a
-clock frequency.
-
-+++
-*** Although the default timestamp format is still '(HI LO US PS)',
-it is planned to change in a future Emacs version, to exploit bignums.
-The documentation has been updated to mention that the timestamp
-format may change and that programs should use functions like
-'format-time-string', 'decode-time', and 'time-convert' rather than
-probing the innards of a timestamp directly, or creating a timestamp
-by hand.
-
-+++
-*** Decoded (calendrical) timestamps now have subsecond resolution.
-This affects 'decode-time', which generates these timestamps, as well
-as functions like 'encode-time' that accept them. The subsecond info
-is present as a '(TICKS . HZ)' value in the seconds element of a
-decoded timestamp, and 'decode-time' has a new optional FORM argument
-specifying the form of the seconds member. For example, if X is the
-timestamp '(1566009571321878186 . 1000000000)', which represents
-"2019-08-17 02:39:31.321878186 UTC", '(decode-time X t t)' returns
-'((31321878186 . 1000000000) 39 2 17 8 2019 6 nil 0)' instead of the
-traditional '(31 39 2 17 8 2019 6 nil 0)' returned by plain
-'(decode-time X t)'. Although the default FORM is currently
-'integer', which truncates the seconds to an integer and is the
-traditional behavior, this default may change in future Emacs
-versions, so callers requiring an integer should specify FORM
-explicitly.
-
-+++
-*** 'encode-time' supports a new API '(encode-time TIME)'.
-The old 'encode-time' API is still supported.
-
-+++
-*** A new package to parse ISO 8601 time, date, durations and
-intervals has been added. The main function to use is
-'iso8601-parse', but there's also 'iso8601-parse-date',
-'iso8601-parse-time', 'iso8601-parse-duration' and
-'iso8601-parse-interval'. All these functions return decoded time
-structures, except the final one, which returns three of them (start,
-end and duration).
-
-+++
-*** 'time-add', 'time-subtract', and 'time-less-p' now accept
-infinities and NaNs too, and propagate them or return nil like
-floating-point operators do. If both arguments are finite, these
-functions now return exact results instead of rounding in some cases,
-and they also avoid excess precision when that is easy.
-
-+++
-*** New function 'time-equal-p' compares time values for equality.
-
-+++
-*** 'format-time-string' supports a new conversion specifier flag '+'
-that acts like the '0' flag but also puts a '+' before nonnegative
-years containing more than four digits. This is for compatibility
-with POSIX.1-2017.
-
-+++
-*** To access (or alter) the elements a decoded time value, the
-'decoded-time-second', 'decoded-time-minute', 'decoded-time-hour',
-'decoded-time-day', 'decoded-time-month', 'decoded-time-year',
-'decoded-time-weekday', 'decoded-time-dst' and 'decoded-time-zone'
-accessors can be used.
-
-*** The new functions 'date-days-in-month' (which will say how many
-days there are in a month in a specific year), 'date-ordinal-to-time'
-(that computes the date of an ordinal day), 'decoded-time-add' (for
-doing computations on a decoded time structure), 'make-decoded-time'
-(for making a decoded time structure with only the given keywords
-filled out), and 'encoded-time-set-defaults' (which fills in nil
-elements as if it's midnight January 1st, 1970) have been added.
-
-** 'define-minor-mode' automatically documents the meaning of ARG.
-
-+++
-** The function 'recenter' now accepts an additional optional argument.
-By default, calling 'recenter' will not redraw the frame even if
-'recenter-redisplay' is non-nil. Call 'recenter' with the new second
-argument non-nil to force redisplay per 'recenter-redisplay's value.
-
-+++
-** New functions 'major-mode-suspend' and 'major-mode-restore'.
-Use them when switching temporarily to another major mode, e.g. for
-'hexl-mode', or to switch between 'c-mode' and 'image-mode' in XPM.
-
-+++
-** New macro 'dolist-with-progress-reporter'.
-This works like 'dolist', but reports progress similar to
-'dotimes-with-progress-reporter'.
-
-+++
-** New hook 'after-delete-frame-functions'.
-This works like 'delete-frame-functions', but runs after the frame to
-be deleted has been made dead and removed from the frame list.
-
----
-** The function 'provided-mode-derived-p' was extended to support aliases.
-The function now returns non-nil when the argument MODE is derived
-from any alias of any of MODES.
-
-+++
-** New frame focus state inspection interface.
-The hooks 'focus-in-hook' and 'focus-out-hook' are now obsolete.
-Instead, attach to 'after-focus-change-function' using 'add-function'
-and inspect the focus state of each frame using 'frame-focus-state'.
-
-+++
-** Emacs now requests and recognizes focus-change notifications from TTYs.
-On terminal emulators that support the feature, Emacs can now support
-'focus-in-hook' and 'focus-out-hook' for TTY frames.
-
-+++
-** Window-specific face remapping.
-Face specifications (of the kind used in 'face-remapping-alist')
-now support filters, allowing faces to vary between different windows
-displaying the same buffer. See the node "(elisp) Face Remapping"
-of the Emacs Lisp Reference manual for more detail.
-
-+++
-** Window change functions have been redesigned.
-Hooks reacting to window changes run now only when redisplay detects
-that a change has actually occurred. Six hooks are now provided:
-'window-buffer-change-functions' (run after window buffers have
-changed), 'window-size-change-functions' (run after a window was
-assigned a new buffer or size), 'window-configuration-change-hook'
-(like the former but run also when a window was deleted),
-'window-selection-change-functions' (run when the selected window
-changed) and 'window-state-change-functions' and
-'window-state-change-hook' (run when any of the preceding ones is
-run). Applications can enforce running the latter two using the new
-function 'set-frame-window-state-change'. 'window-scroll-functions'
-are unaffected by these changes.
-
-In addition, a number of functions now allow the caller to detect what
-has changed since last redisplay: 'window-old-buffer' returns for any
-window the buffer it showed at that time. ‘old-selected-window’ and
-'old-selected-frame' return the window and frame that were selected
-during last redisplay. 'window-old-pixel-width' (renamed from
-'window-pixel-width-before-size-change'), 'window-old-pixel-height'
-(renamed from 'window-pixel-height-before-size-change'),
-'window-old-body-pixel-width' and 'window-old-body-pixel-height'
-return the total and body sizes of any window during last redisplay.
-
-Also 'run-window-configuration-change-hook' is declared obsolete.
-
-See the section "(elisp) Window Hooks" in the Elisp manual for a
-detailed explanation of the new behavior.
-
-+++
-** Making scroll bar and fringe settings persistent for windows.
-The functions 'set-window-scroll-bars' and 'set-window-fringes' now
-have a new optional argument that makes the settings they produce
-reliably survive subsequent invocations of 'set-window-buffer'.
-
-+++
-** New user option 'resize-mini-frames'.
-This option allows to automatically resize minibuffer-only frames
-similarly to how minibuffer windows are resized on "normal" frames.
-
-+++
-** New buffer display action function 'display-buffer-in-direction'.
-This function allows to specify the location of the window chosen by
-'display-buffer' in various ways.
-
-+++
-** New buffer display action alist entry 'dedicated'.
-Such an entry allows to specify the dedicated status of a window
-created by 'display-buffer'.
-
-+++
-** New buffer display action alist entry 'window-min-height'.
-Such an entry allows to specify a minimum height of the window used
-for displaying a buffer. 'display-buffer-below-selected' is the only
-action function to respect it at the moment.
-
-+++
-** New buffer display action alist entry 'direction'.
-This entry is used to specify the location of the window chosen by
-'display-buffer-in-direction'.
-
-+++
-** Additional meaning of display action alist entry 'window'.
-A 'window' entry can now also specify a reference window for
-'display-buffer-in-direction'.
-
-+++
-** The function 'assoc-delete-all' now takes an optional predicate argument.
-
-+++
-** New function 'string-distance' to calculate the Levenshtein distance
-between two strings.
-
-** 'print-quoted' now defaults to t, so if you want to see
-'(quote x)' instead of 'x you will have to bind it to nil where applicable.
-
-+++
-** Numbers formatted via '%o' or '%x' are now formatted as signed integers.
-This avoids problems in calls like '(read (format "#x%x" -1))', and is
-more compatible with bignums. To get the traditional machine-dependent
-behavior, set the experimental variable 'binary-as-unsigned' to t,
-and if the new behavior breaks your code please email
-<address@hidden>. Because '%o' and '%x' can now format signed
-integers, they now support the '+' and space flags.
-
-+++
-** In Emacs Lisp mode, symbols with confusable quotes are highlighted.
-For example, the first character in '‘foo' would be highlighted in
-'font-lock-warning-face'.
-
-+++
-** Omitting variables after '&optional' and '&rest' is now allowed.
-For example '(defun foo (&optional))' is no longer an error. This is
-sometimes convenient when writing macros. See the ChangeLog entry
-titled "Allow '&rest' or '&optional' without following variable
-(Bug#29165)" for a full listing of which arglists are accepted across
-versions.
-
-** Internal parsing commands now use 'syntax-ppss' and disregard
-'open-paren-in-column-0-is-defun-start'. This affects mostly things like
-'forward-comment', 'scan-sexps', and 'forward-sexp' when parsing backward.
-The new variable 'comment-use-syntax-ppss' can be set to nil to recover
-the old behavior if needed.
-
-** The 'server-name' and 'server-socket-dir' variables are set when a
-socket has been passed to Emacs.
-
----
-** The 'file-system-info' function is now available on all platforms.
-instead of just Microsoft platforms. This fixes a 'get-free-disk-space'
-bug on OS X 10.8 and later.
-
----
-** The function 'get-free-disk-space' returns now a non-nil value for
-remote systems, which support this check.
-
-+++
-** 'memory-limit' now returns a better estimate of memory consumption.
-
-+++
-** When interpreting 'gc-cons-percentage', Emacs now estimates the
-heap size more often and (we hope) more accurately. E.g., formerly
-'(progn (let ((gc-cons-percentage 0.8)) BODY1) BODY2)' continued to use
-the 0.8 value during BODY2 until the next garbage collection, but that
-is no longer true. Applications may need to re-tune their GC tricks.
-
-+++
-** New macro 'combine-change-calls' arranges to call the change hooks
-('before-change-functions' and 'after-change-functions') just once
-each around a sequence of lisp forms, given a region. This is
-useful when a function makes a possibly large number of repetitive
-changes and the change hooks are time consuming.
-
-+++
-** 'eql', 'make-hash-table', etc. now treat NaNs consistently.
-Formerly, some of these functions ignored signs and significands of
-NaNs. Now, all these functions treat NaN signs and significands as
-significant. For example, '(eql 0.0e+NaN -0.0e+NaN)' now returns nil
-because the two NaNs have different signs; formerly it returned t.
-Also, Emacs now reads and prints NaN significands; e.g., if X is a
-NaN, '(format "%s" X)' now returns "0.0e+NaN", "1.0e+NaN", etc.,
-depending on X's significand.
-
-+++
-** The function 'make-string' accepts an additional optional argument.
-If the optional third argument is non-nil, 'make-string' will produce
-a multibyte string even if its second argument is an ASCII character.
-
-** '(format "%d" X)' no longer mishandles a floating-point number X that
-does not fit in a machine integer.
-
----
-** New coding-system 'ibm038'.
-This is the International EBCDIC encoding, also available as aliases
-'ebcdic-int' and 'cp038'.
-
-+++
-** In the DST slot, 'encode-time' and 'parse-time-string' now return -1
-if it is not known whether daylight saving time is in effect.
-Formerly they were inconsistent: 'encode-time' returned t in this
-situation, whereas 'parse-time-string' returned nil. Now they
-consistently use use nil to mean that DST is not in effect, and use -1
-to mean that it is not known whether DST is in effect.
-
-** New JSON parsing and serialization functions 'json-serialize',
-'json-insert', 'json-parse-string', and 'json-parse-buffer'. These
-are implemented in C using the Jansson library.
-
-+++
-** New function 'ring-resize'.
-'ring-resize' can be used to grow or shrink a ring.
-
-+++
-** New function 'flatten-tree'.
-'flatten-list' is provided as an alias. These functions take a tree
-and 'flatten' it such that the result is a list of all the terminal
-nodes.
-
-+++
-** 'zlib-decompress-region' can partially decompress corrupted data.
-If the new optional ALLOW-PARTIAL argument is passed, then the data
-that was decompressed successfully before failing will be inserted
-into the buffer.
-
-** Mailcap
-
----
-*** The new function 'mailcap-file-name-to-mime-type' has been added.
-It's a simple convenience function for looking up MIME types based on
-file name extensions.
-
-*** The default way the list of possible external viewers for MIME
-types is sorted and chosen has changed. Earlier, the most specific
-viewer was chosen, even if there was a general override in "~/.mailcap".
-For instance, if "/etc/mailcap" has an entry for "image/gif", that one
-will be chosen even if you have an entry for "image/*" in your
-"~/.mailcap" file. But with the new method, entries from "~/.mailcap"
-overrides all system and Emacs-provided defaults. To get the old
-method back, set 'mailcap-prefer-mailcap-viewers' to nil.
-
-** URL
-
-*** The 'file:' handler no longer looks for "index.html" in
-directories if you ask it for a "file:///dir" URL. Since this is a
-low-level library, such decisions (if they are to be made at all) are
-left to higher-level functions.
-
----
-** The url-ns.el library is now marked obsolete.
-This library is used to open configuration files for the long defunct
-web browser Netscape, and is no longer relevant.
-
-** Image mode
-
-*** New library Exif.
-An Exif library has been added that can parse JPEG files and output
-data about creation times and orientation and the like.
-'exif-parse-file' and 'exif-parse-buffer' are the main interface
-functions.
-
-*** 'image-mode' now uses this library to automatically rotate images
-according to the orientation in the Exif data, if any.
-
-*** New library image-converter.
-If you need to view exotic image formats for which Emacs doesn't have
-native support, customize the new user option
-'image-use-external-converter' to t. If your system has
-GraphicsMagick, ImageMagick or 'ffmpeg' installed, they will then be
-used to convert images automatically before displaying them.
-
-*** 'auto-mode-alist' now includes many of the types typically
-supported by the external image converters, like WEPB, BMP and ICO.
-These now default to using 'image-mode'.
-
-*** 'imagemagick-types-inhibit' disables using ImageMagick by default.
-'image-mode' started using ImageMagick by default for all images
-some years back. It now respects 'imagemagick-types-inhibit' as a way
-to disable that.
-
----
-*** Some 'image-mode' variables are now buffer-local.
-The image parameters 'image-transform-rotation',
-'image-transform-scale' and 'image-transform-resize' are now declared
-buffer-local, so each buffer could have its own values for these
-parameters.
-
-+++
-*** Three new 'image-mode' commands have been added: 'm', which marks
-the file in the dired buffer(s) for the directory the file is in; 'u',
-which unmarks the file; and 'w', which pushes the current buffer's file
-name to the kill ring.
-
-+++
-*** The command 'image-rotate' now accepts a prefix argument.
-With a prefix argument, 'image-rotate' now rotates the image at point
-90 degrees counter-clockwise, instead of the default clockwise.
-
-** Modules
-
-*** The function 'load' now behaves correctly when loading modules.
-Specifically, it puts the module name into 'load-history', prints
-loading messages if requested, and protects against recursive loads.
-
-*** New module environment function 'process_input' to process user
-input while module code is running.
-
-*** New module environment functions 'make_time' and 'extract_time' to
-convert between timespec structures and Emacs Lisp time values.
-
-*** New module environment functions 'make_big_integer' and
-'extract_big_integer' to create and extract arbitrary-size integer
-values.
-
-*** emacs-module.h now defines a macro 'EMACS_MAJOR_VERSION' that expands
-to the major version of the latest Emacs supported by the header.
-
-+++
-** The function 'read-variable' now uses its own history list.
-The history of variable names read by 'read-variable' is recorded in
-the new variable 'custom-variable-history'.
-
----
-** The functions 'string-to-unibyte' and 'string-to-multibyte' are no
-longer declared obsolete. We have found that there are legitimate use
-cases for these functions, where there's no better alternative. We
-believe that the incorrect uses of these functions all but disappeared
-by now, so we are un-obsoleting them.
-
-+++
-** New function 'group-name' returns a group name corresponding to GID.
-
-+++
-** 'make-process' now takes a keyword argument ':file-handler'; if
-that is non-nil, it will look for a file name handler for the current
-buffer's 'default-directory' and invoke that file name handler to make
-the process. That way 'make-process' can start remote processes.
-
-+++
-** Emacs now supports resizing and rotating images without ImageMagick.
-All modern systems support this feature. (On GNU and Unix systems,
-Cairo drawing or the XRender extension to X11 is required for this to
-be available; the configure script will test for it and, if found,
-enable scaling.)
-
-The new function 'image-transforms-p' can be used to test whether any
-given frame supports these capabilities.
-
-+++
-** '(locale-info 'paper)' now returns the paper size on systems that support
it.
-This is currently supported on GNUish hosts and on modern versions of
-MS-Windows.
-
-+++
-** The function 'regexp-opt' accepts an additional optional argument.
-By default, the regexp returned by 'regexp-opt' may match the strings
-in any order. If the new third argument is non-nil, the match is
-guaranteed to be performed in the order given, as if the strings were
-made into a regexp by joining them with '\|'.
-
-+++
-** The function 'regexp-opt', when given an empty list of strings, now
-returns a regexp that never matches anything, which is an identity for
-this operation. Previously, the empty string was returned in this
-case.
-
-** New constant 'regexp-unmatchable' contains a never-matching regexp.
-It is a convenient and readable way to specify a regexp that should
-not match anything, and is as fast as any such regexp can be.
-
-++++
-** New functions to handle the URL variant of base-64 encoding.
-New functions 'base64url-encode-string' and 'base64url-encode-region'
-implement the url-variant of base-64 encoding as defined in RFC4648.
-
-The functions 'base64-decode-string' and 'base64-decode-region' now
-accept an optional argument to decode the URL variant of base-64
-encoding.
-
-+++
-** The function 'file-size-human-readable' accepts more optional arguments.
-The new third argument is a string put between the number and unit; it
-defaults to the empty string. The new fourth argument is a string
-representing the unit to use; it defaults to "B" when the second
-argument is 'iec' and the empty string otherwise. We recomment a
-space or non-breaking space as third argument, and "B" as fourth
-argument, circumstances allowing.
-
-+++
-** 'format-spec' has been expanded with several modifiers to allow
-greater flexibility when customizing variables. The modifiers include
-zero-padding, upper- and lower-casing, and limiting the length of the
-interpolated strings. The function has now also been documented in
-the Emacs Lisp manual.
-
-+++
-** 'directory-files-recursively' can now take an optional PREDICATE
-parameter to control descending into subdirectories, and a
-FOLLOW-SYMLINK parameter to say that symbolic links that point to
-other directories should be followed.
-
-+++
-** New function 'xor' returns the boolean exclusive-or of its args.
-The function was previously defined in array.el, but has been moved to
-subr.el so that it is available by default. It now always returns the
-non-nil argument when the other is nil. Several duplicates of 'xor'
-in other packages are now obsolete aliases of 'xor'.
-
-+++
-** 'define-globalized-minor-mode' now takes BODY forms.
-
-+++
-** New text property 'help-echo-inhibit-substitution'.
-Setting this on the first character of a help string disables
-conversions via 'substitute-command-keys'.
-
-+++
-** 'undo' can be made to ignore the active region for a command
-by setting 'undo-inhibit-region' symbol property of that command to
-non-nil. This is used by 'mouse-drag-region' to make the effect
-easier to undo immediately afterwards.
-
----
-** When called interactively, next-buffer and previous-buffer now
-signal 'user-error' if there is no buffer to switch to.
+* Editing Changes in Emacs 28.1
-* Changes in Emacs 27.1 on Non-Free Operating Systems
-
----
-** Battery status is now supported in all Cygwin builds.
-Previously it was supported only in the Cygwin-w32 build.
-
-** Emacs now handles key combinations involving the macOS "command"
-and "option" modifier keys more correctly.
-
-** MacOS modifier key behavior is now more adjustable.
-The behavior of the macOS "Option", "Command", "Control" and
-"Function" keys can now be specified separately for use with
-ordinary keys, function keys and mouse clicks. This allows using them
-in their standard macOS way for composing characters.
-
-** The special handling of 'frame-title-format' on NS where setting it
-to 't' would enable the macOS proxy icon has been replaced with a
-separate variable, 'ns-use-proxy-icon'. 'frame-title-format' will now
-work as on other platforms.
+* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 28.1
----
-** New primitive 'w32-read-registry'.
-This primitive lets Lisp programs access the MS-Windows Registry by
-retrieving values stored under a given key. It is intended to be used
-for supporting features such as XDG-like location of important files
-and directories.
-
-+++
-** The default value of 'w32-pipe-read-delay' is now zero.
-This speeds up reading output from sub-processes that produce a lot of
-data.
-
-This variable may need to be non-zero only when running DOS programs
-as Emacs subprocesses, which by now is not supported on modern
-versions of MS-Windows. Set this variable to 50 if for some reason
-you need the old behavior (and please report such situations to Emacs
-developers).
-
----
-** New variable 'w32-multibyte-code-page'.
-This variable holds the value of the multibyte code page used by the
-system. It is usually zero, which indicates that 'w32-ansi-code-page'
-is being used, except in Far Eastern locales. When this variable is
-non-zero, Emacs at startup sets 'locale-coding-system' to the
-corresponding encoding, instead of using 'w32-ansi-code-page'.
-
----
-** The default value of 'inhibit-compacting-font-caches' is t on MS-Windows.
-Experience shows that compacting font caches causes more trouble on
-MS-Windows than it helps.
+
+* New Modes and Packages in Emacs 28.1
-+++
-** Font lookup on MS-Windows was improved to support rare scripts.
-To activate the improvement, run the new function
-'w32-find-non-USB-fonts' once per Emacs session, or assign to the new
-variable 'w32-non-USB-fonts' the list of scripts and the corresponding
-fonts. See the documentation of this function and variable in the
-Emacs manual for more details.
+
+* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 28.1
-+++
-** On NS the behavior of drag and drop can now be modified by use of
-modifier keys in line with Apples guidelines. This makes the drag and
-drop behavior more consistent, as previously the sending application
-was able to 'set' modifiers without the knowledge of the user.
+
+* Lisp Changes in Emacs 28.1
-** On NS multicolor font display is enabled again since it is also
-implemented in Emacs on free operating systems via Cairo drawing.
+
+* Changes in Emacs 28.1 on Non-Free Operating Systems
