-** Installing Emacs now installs the emacs-module.h file.
-The emacs-module.h file is now installed in the system-wide include

This means you can now easily filter several major modes, as well

** The function 'read-passwd' uses '*' as default character to hide passwords.

-** New variable 'xft-ignore-color-fonts'.
-Default t means don't try to load color fonts when using Xft, as they

** The new option 'tooltip-resize-echo-area' avoids truncating tooltip text
on GUI frames when tooltips are displayed in the echo area. Instead,
dired-default-directory-alist, dired-enable-local-variables,
dired-hack-local-variables, dired-local-variables-file, dired-omit-here-always.
-** The function 'display-buffer-in-major-side-window' no longer exists.
-It has been renamed as internal function 'window--make-major-side-window',
-however applications should instead call 'display-buffer-in-side-window'
-(passing the SIDE and SLOT parameters as elements of ALIST). This approach
-is backwards-compatible with versions of Emacs in which the old function
-exists. See the node "Displaying Buffers in Side Windows" in the ELisp
-manual for more details.

** 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

+** The function 'thing-at-point' behaves as before Emacs 26.1.
+The behavior of 'thing-at-point' when called with argument 'list' has
+changed in Emacs 26.1, in that it didn't consider text inside comments
+and strings as a potential list. This change is now reverted, and
+'thing-at-point' behaves like it did before Emacs 26.1.
+
+To cater to use cases where comments and strings are to be ignored
+when looking for a list, the function 'list-at-point' now takes an
+optional argument to do so.
