** The value of 'initial-scratch-message' is now treated as a doc string
and can contain escape sequences for command keys, quotes, and the like.
+---
+** The default height of GUI frames was enlarged.
+This is so there's enough space in the initial window to display the
+optional text about recovering crashes sessions, without losing the
+splash image display.

* Changes in Emacs 25.1
*** Unicode names entered via C-x 8 RET now use substring completion by default.
+++
-*** C-x 8 now has shorthands for these chars: ‐ ‑ ‒ – — ― ‘ ’ “ ” † ‡ • ′ ″
-€ № ← → ↔ − ≈ ≠ ≤ ≥. As before, you can type C-x 8 C-h to list shorthands.
+*** C-x 8 now has shorthands for several chars, such as U+2010
+(HYPHEN), U+2011 (NON-BREAKING HYPHEN), and U+2012 (FIGURE DASH). As
+before, you can type C-x 8 C-h to list shorthands.
+++
-*** New minor mode electric-quote-mode for quoting ‘like this’ and “like this”
-as you type. See also the new variable 'text-quoting-style'.
+*** New minor mode electric-quote-mode for using curved quotes as you
+type. See also the new variable 'text-quoting-style'.
---
** New minor mode global-eldoc-mode is enabled by default.
'json-pretty-print-buffer-ordered' pretty prints JSON objects with
object keys sorted alphabetically.
-+++
-** Prog mode has some support for multi-mode indentation.
-This allows better indentation support in modes that support multiple
-programming languages in the same buffer, like literate programming
-environments or ANTLR programs with embedded Python code.
-
-A major mode can provide indentation context for a sub-mode through
-the 'prog-indentation-context' variable. To support this, modes that
-provide indentation should use 'prog-widen' instead of 'widen' and
-'prog-first-column' instead of a literal zero. See the node
-"Mode-Specific Indent" in the ELisp manual for more details.
-
** Prettify Symbols mode
+++
groups of characters instead of just themselves.
For instance, the ASCII double quote character " will match all
-variants of double quotes (like “ and ”), and the letter a will match
-all of its accented cousins, even those composed of multiple
-characters, as well as many other symbols like ℀, ℁, ⒜, and ⓐ.
+variants of double quotes, and the letter 'a' will match all of its
+accented cousins, even those composed of multiple characters, as well

+A).
Character folding is enabled by customizing 'search-default-mode' to
the value 'character-fold-to-regexp'. You can also toggle character
---
*** 'describe-char-eldoc' displays information about character at point,
and can be used as a default value of 'eldoc-documentation-function'. It is
-useful when, for example, one needs to distinguish various spaces (e.g. ] [,
-] [, ] [, etc.) while using mono-spaced font.

+U+00A0 (NO-BREAK SPACE), U+2002 (EN SPACE), and U+2009 (THIN SPACE) - while
+using mono-spaced font.
** eww
*** As a consequence, the second arg of 'indirect-function' is now obsolete.
+++
-** Comint, term, and compile do not set the EMACS env var any more.
+** Although comint, term, and compile still set the EMACS variable,
+this is now considered deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Use the INSIDE_EMACS environment variable instead.
+++
+++
** New variable 'text-quoting-style' to control how Emacs translates quotes.
-Set it to 'curve' for curved single quotes ‘like this’, to 'straight'
-for straight apostrophes 'like this', and to 'grave' for grave accent
-and apostrophe `like this'. The default value nil acts like 'curve'
-if curved single quotes are displayable, and like 'grave' otherwise.
-The new variable affects display of diagnostics and help, but not of info.

** Documentation strings now support quoting with curved single quotes
-‘like-this’ in addition to the old style with grave accent and
-apostrophe `like-this'. The new style looks better on today's displays.
-In the new Electric Quote mode, you can enter curved single quotes
-into documentation by typing ` and '. Outside Electric Quote mode,
-you can enter them by typing 'C-x 8 [' and 'C-x 8 ]', or (if your Alt
-key works) by typing 'A-[' and 'A-]'. As described above under

** New function 'format-message' is like 'format' and also converts
function 'encode-time', which already accepted a simple time zone rule
argument, has been extended to accept all the new forms.
+*** Incompatible change in the third argument of 'format-time-string'.
+Previously, any non-nil argument was interpreted as a UTC time zone.
+This is no longer true; packages that want UTC time zone should pass t
+as the third argument.
+
*** Time-related functions now consistently accept numbers
(representing seconds since the epoch) and nil (representing the
current time) as well as the usual list-of-integer representation.
'window-divider-default-places', 'window-divider-default-bottom-width'
and 'window-divider-default-right-width'.
++++
+*** The window displaying the '*Completions*' buffer with minibuffer
+completion candidates is now shown at the bottom of the selected
+frame. The size of that window is always as large as required to
+display all the candidates, except when limited by the minimum size
+of the other windows on that frame; those other windows are resized
+to provide space for the '*Completions*' display. The Emacs manual
+describes how to customize 'display-buffer-alist' to get back the old
+behavior, see the node "Temporary Displays" there.

** Tearoff menus and detachable toolbars for Gtk+ have been removed.
Those features have been deprecated in Gtk+ for a long time.
