+
+** It is possible to disable attempted recovery on fatal signals
+
+Two new variables allow to disable attempts to recover from stack
+overflow and to avoid automatic auto-save when Emacs is delivered a
+fatal signal. `attempt-stack-overflow-recovery', if set to `nil',
+will disable attempts to recover from C stack overflows; Emacs will
+then crash as with any other fatal signal.
+`attempt-orderly-shutdown-on-fatal-signal', if set to `nil', will
+disable attempts to auto-save the session and shut down in an orderly
+fashion when Emacs receives a fatal signal; instead, Emacs will
+terminate immediately. Both variables are non-`nil' by default.
+These variables are for users who would like to avoid the small
+probability of data corruption due to techniques Emacs uses to recover
+in these situations.

** Network security (TLS/SSL certificate validity and the like) is
added via the new Network Security Manager (NSM) and controlled via
the `network-security-level' variable.
+---
+** International domain names (IDNA) are now encoded via the new
+puny.el library, so that one can visit web sites like
+"http://méxico.icom.museum".

** C-h l now also lists the commands that were run.

-** x-select-enable-clipboard is renamed select-enable-clipboard
-and x-select-enable-primary is renamed select-enable-primary.

+** M-x suggests shorthands and ignores obsolete commands for completion.
+** x-select-enable-clipboard is renamed select-enable-clipboard.
+x-select-enable-primary and renamed select-enable-primary.
Additionally they both now apply to all systems (OSX, GNUstep, Windows, you

-** The Emacs pseudo-random number generator can be securely seeded.
-On system where Emacs can access the system entropy or some other
-cryptographically secure random stream, it now uses that when `random'
-is called with its argument `t'. This allows cryptographically strong
-random values; in particular, the Emacs server now uses this facility
-to produce its authentication key.

** New input methods: `tamil-dvorak' and `programmer-dvorak'.
** New minor mode global-eldoc-mode is enabled by default.

-** Emacs now supports "bracketed paste mode" when running on a terminal
-that supports it. This facility allows Emacs to understand pasted
-chunks of text as strings to be inserted, instead of interpreting each
-character in the pasted text as actual user input. This results in a
-paste experience similar to that under a window system, and significant
-performance improvements when pasting large amounts of text.
+** Emacs now uses "bracketed paste mode" on text terminals that support it.
+Bracketed paste mode causes text terminals to wrap pasted text in special
+escape sequences that allow Emacs to tell the difference between text
+you type and text you paste from other applications. Emacs then
+avoids interpreting each character in the pasted text as it does with
+keyboard input, which results in a paste experience similar to that
+under a window system, and significant performance improvements when
+pasting large amounts of text.
+
+Bracketed paste mode is disabled by default, so Emacs automatically
+enables it at startup if the terminal supports it.
+++
** Emacs now supports the latest version of the UBA.
It raises an error if a bookmark of that name already exists,
unlike `bookmark-set' which silently updates an existing bookmark.
+** Gnus
+
++++
+*** New user options `mm-html-inhibit-images' and `mm-html-blocked-images'
+now control how mm-* functions fetch and display images in an HTML
+message. Gnus still uses `gnus-inhibit-images' and `gnus-blocked-images'
+for that purpose, i.e., binds mm-html- variables with those gnus-
+variables, but other packages do not have to bind gnus- variables now.
+
+---
+*** `mm-inline-text-html-with-images' has been removed.
+Use `mm-html-inhibit-images' instead. Note that the value is opposite
+in meaning.
+
** IMAP
---
`erc-network-hide-list' and `erc-channel-hide-list' will only hide the
specified message types for the respective specified targets.

+**** New play/pause command `mpc-toggle-play' bound to `s'
+
+**** `g' bound to new command `mpc-seek-current' will navigate current
+ track.
+
+**** New commands `mpc-toggle-{consume,repeat,single,shuffle}' for
+ toggling playback modes.

+*** Looks at more image file names to use as album art.
+Case-insensitively tries for .folder.png (freedesktop) and folder.jpg

+whether to use the HTML-specified colors or not. The user can also
+customize the `shr-use-colors' variable.

*** A new command `R' (`eww-readable') will try do identify the main
textual parts of a web page and display only that, leaving menus and
*** text/html messages that contain inline image parts will be
transformed into multipart/related messages before sending.
+---
+*** The `message-valid-fqdn-regexp' variable has been removed, since
+there are now top-level domains added all the time. Message will no
+longer warn about sending emails to top-level domains it hasn't heard
+about.
+
+*** `message-beginning-of-line' (bound to C-a) understands folded headers.
+In `visual-line-mode' it will look for the true beginning of a header
+while in non-`visual-line-mode' it will move the point to the indented
+header’s value.

** In Show Paren Mode, a parenthesis can be highlighted when point
stands inside it, and certain parens can be highlighted when point is

+** If gpg2 exists on the system, it is now used as the default value
+of `epg-gpg-program' (instead of gpg).
+
+** Images
+
++++
+*** Images are automatically scaled before displaying based on the
+`image-scaling-factor' variable (if Emacs supports scaling the images
+in question).
+
+*** Images inserted with `insert-image' and related functions get a
+keymap put into the text properties (or overlays) that span the
+image. This keymap binds keystrokes for manipulating size and
+rotation, as well as saving the image to a file.

`compare-windows-added'.

+customization group.

*** `log-edit-insert-changelog' converts "(tiny change)" to
"Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes". Set `log-edit-rewrite-tiny-change'
`dired-compress-files-alist' variable.
+++
+*** `W' is now bound to `browse-url-of-dired-file', and is useful for
+viewing HTML files and the like.
+
*** New user interface for the `A' and `Q' commands.
These keys, now bound to `dired-do-find-regexp' and
`dired-do-find-regexp-and-replace', work similarly to `xref-find-apropos'
node "Generic Functions" in the Emacs Lisp manual for more details.

*** The ls-lisp package uses `string-collate-lessp' to sort file names.
-If you want the old, locale-independent sorting, customize the new
-option `ls-lisp-use-string-collate' to a nil value.
+The effect is that, on systems that use ls-lisp for Dired, the default
+sort order of the files in Dired is now different from what it was in
+previous versions of Emacs. In particular, the file names are sorted
+disregarding punctuation, accents, and diacritics, and letter case is
+ignored. For example, files whose name begin with a period will no
+longer appear near the beginning of the directory listing. If you
+want the old, locale-independent sorting, customize the new option
+`ls-lisp-use-string-collate' to the nil value.
