 * Startup Changes in Emacs 29.2
 
+** On GNU/Linux, Emacs is now the default application for 'org-protocol'.
+Org mode provides a way to quickly capture bookmarks, notes, and links
+using 'emacsclient':
+
+    emacsclient "org-protocol://store-link?url=URL&title=TITLE"
+
+Previously, users had to manually configure their GNU/Linux desktop
+environment to open 'org-protocol' links in Emacs.  These links should
+now open in Emacs automatically, as the "emacsclient.desktop" file now
+arranges for Emacs to be the default application for the 'org-protocol'
+URI scheme.  See the Org mode manual, Info node "(org) Protocols" for
+more details.
