build time, like libacl on GNU/Linux. To prevent this, use the
configure option `--without-acl'.
+** The configure option --with-crt-dir has been removed.
+It is no longer needed, as the crt*.o files are no longer linked specially.

*** New connection method "adb", which allows to access Android
-devices by the Android Debug Bridge. The variable `tramp-adb-sdk-dir'
-must be set to the Android SDK installation directory.
+devices by the Android Debug Bridge. The variable `tramp-adb-program'
+can be used to adapt the path of the "adb" program, if needed.
-*** The connection methods "scpc" and "rsyncc" are discontinued. The
-ssh option "ControlMaster=auto" is set automatically in all ssh-based
-methods, when possible.
+*** The connection methods "plink1", "ssh1", "ssh2", "scp1", "scp2",
+"scpc" and "rsyncc" are discontinued. The ssh option
+"ControlMaster=auto" is set automatically in all ssh-based methods,
+when possible.
+++
*** Handlers for `file-acl' and `set-file-acl' for remote machines
Likewise, `file-name-buffer-file-type-alist' is now obsolete, and
modifying it has no effect.
+---
+** Lock files now work on MS-Windows.
+This allows to avoid losing your edits if the same file is being
+edited in another Emacs session or by another user. See the node
+"Interlocking" in the Emacs User Manual for the details. To disable
+file locking, customize `create-lockfiles' to nil.
+
** Improved fullscreen support on Mac OS X.
Both native (>= OSX 10.7) and "old style" fullscreen are supported.
Customize `ns-use-native-fullscreen' to change style. For >= 10.7
*** The constant `rst-version' describes the rst.el package version.
+** Ruby mode
+
+*** Support for percent literals and recognition of regular expressions
+in method calls without parentheses with more methods, including Cucumber
+steps definitions.
+
+*** Improved syntax highlighting and indentation.
+
+*** New command `ruby-toggle-block', bound to `C-c {'.
+
+*** Some non-standard keybindings/commands have been removed:
+
+**** `ruby-electric-brace'; use `electric-indent-mode' instead.
+
+**** `ruby-mark-defun'; use `mark-defun'.
+
+**** `ruby-beginning-of-defun' and `ruby-end-of-defun' are replaced by
+appropriate settings for the variables `beginning-of-defun-function'
+and `end-of-defun-function'.
+
+**** Non-standard keybindings for `backward-kill-word', `comment-region',
+`reindent-then-newline-and-indent' and `newline' have been removed.
+
** Shell Script mode
*** Pairing of parens/quotes uses `electric-pair-mode' instead of skeleton-pair.
*** The calendars produced by cal-html include holidays.
Customize `cal-html-holidays' to change this.
+** CEDET
+
+*** The major modes from the parser generators "Bovine" and "Wisent"
+are now properly integrated in Emacs. The file suffixes ".by" and ".wy"
+are in `auto-mode-alist', and the corresponding manuals are included.
+
+*** EDE
+
+**** Menu support for the "Configuration" feature. This allows users to
+choose the active configuration (such as debug or install) from the menu.
+
+**** New command `ede-set' to interactively set project-local variables.
+
+**** Support for compiling, debugging, and running in "generic" projects.
+
+**** Autoconf editing support for M4 macros with complex arguments.
+
+**** Compilation support for the "linux" project type.
+
+**** "simple" projects have been removed; use "generic" projects instead.
+
+*** Semantic
+
+**** Support for parsing #include statements inside a namespace in C/C++.
+
+**** Improved support for 'extern "C"' declarations in C/C++.
+
+**** The ability to ignore more common special C/C++ preprocessor symbols,
+such as '__nonnull' and '__asm'. Add '__cplusplus' macro when parsing C++.
+If available, include cdefs.h as an additional source of preprocessor symbols.
+
+**** Improved C/C++ function pointer parsing.
+
+**** In Python, support for converting imports to include file names.
+
+**** Ability to dynamically determine the Python load path.
+
+**** Support for the Python 'WITH' and 'AT' keywords.
+
+**** Improved tooltip completion.
+
+*** SRecode
+
+**** The SRecode manual is now included.
+
+**** Tag generation supports constructor/destructor settings and system
+include differentiation.
+
+**** Addition of 'Framework' support: Frameworks are specified when a
+particular kind of library (such as Android) is needed in a common language
+mode (like Java).
+
+**** Support for nested templates and let variables override based on priority.
+
+**** Support for merging tables from multiple related modes, such as
+default -> c++ -> arduino.
+
** Compile has a new option `compilation-always-kill'.
** Customize
*** Last-modified time stamps in undo lists now are of the form
(t HI-SECS LO-SECS USECS PSECS) instead of (t HI-SECS . LO-SECS).
+** EIEIO
+
+*** Improved security when handling persistent objects:
+
+**** `eieio-persistent-read' now features optional arguments for specifying
+the class to load, as well as a flag stating whether subclasses are allowed;
+if provided, other classes will be rejected by the reader. For
+compatibility with existing code, if the class is omitted only a
+warning is issued.
+
+**** New specialized reader for pulling in classes and signaling errors
+without evaluation of suspicious code.
+
+**** All slots that contain objects must have a :type. Slots with lists
+of objects must use a new type predicate for a list of an object type.
+
+*** Support for `find-function' and similar utilities, through the addition
+of filename support to generated symbols.
+
** Floating point functions now always return special values like NaN,
instead of signaling errors, if given invalid args; e.g., (log -1.0).
Previously, they returned NaNs on some platforms but signaled errors
