I did not make a contrasting list - saw no point in it.  The part of the
release page which lists features, since there is overlap with 2.7.2, is
based on 2.7.2's version, with additional features & restrictions.  (If
I missed things - such as the new parser, which I'm not familiar with
well enough to describe concisely - then we should add to that list).

The different handling of hidden links is a moot issue: by default it is
now longer configured, unless someone offers some good reason to retain it,
I will remove it sometime before 2.8.1 (along with other unused code).
