* Changes in Emacs 25.1
++++
** Any file of the form .dir-locals*.el is now considered a dir-local
file, and multiple such files can be used in the same directory. See
the variable `dir-locals-file' for more information.
+---
** `xref-find-definitions' and `describe-function' now display
information about mode local overrides (defined by cedet/mode-local.el
`define-overloadable-function' `define-mode-local-overrides').
-** New `display-buffer' action function `display-buffer-use-some-frame'
+** New `display-buffer' action function `display-buffer-use-some-frame'.
This displays the buffer in an existing frame other than the current

+** New documentation command `describe-symbol'.
+Works for functions, variables, faces, etc.

+This is analogous to case folding, but instead of disregarding case

+characters. (Case folding is a special case of character folding.)
+This means many characters in the search string will match entire
+groups of characters instead of just themselves.

** New function `character-fold-to-regexp' can be used
by searching commands to produce a regexp matching anything that
