** New variable 'xft-ignore-color-fonts'.
Default t means don't try to load color fonts when using Xft, as they
often cause crashes. Set it to nil if you really need those fonts.

-*** Mailutils movemail will now be used if found at runtime.
-The default value of mail-source-movemail-program is now "movemail".
-This ensures that the movemail program from GNU Mailutils will be used
-if found in 'exec-path', even if it was not found at build time. To
-use a different program, customize mail-source-movemail-program to the
-absolute file name of the desired executable.
-
-** Shell mode
+** The new option 'tooltip-resize-echo-area' avoids truncating tooltip text
+on GUI frames when tooltips are displayed in the echo area. Instead,
+it resizes the echo area as needed to accommodate the full tool-tip
+text.
---
-*** Shell mode buffers now have 'scroll-conservatively' set to 101.
-This is so as to better emulate the scrolling behavior of a text
-terminal when new output is added to the screen buffer. To get back
-the previous behavior, reset 'scroll-conservatively' to zero (or any
-other value you like) in a function and add it to 'shell-mode-hook'.
-(This change was actually made in Emacs 26.1, but was not called out
-in its NEWS.)
-
-** VC
+** Show modeline tooltips only if the corresponding action applies.
+Customize the option 'mode-line-default-help-echo' to restore the old
+behavior where the tooltip text is also shown when the corresponding
+action does not apply.
+
++++
+** New hook 'server-after-make-frame-hook'.
+This hook is a convenient place to perform initializations in daemon
+mode which require GUI features to be available. One example is
+restoration of the previous session using the desktop.el package: put
+the call to 'desktop-read' in this hook, if you want the GUI settings
+to be restored, or if desktop.el needs to interact with you during
+restoration of the session.
+
++++
+** New function 'logcount' calculates an integer's Hamming weight.
+
++++
+** New function 'libxml-available-p'.
+This function returns non-nil if libxml support is both compiled in
+and available at run time. Lisp programs should use this function to
+detect built-in libxml support, instead of testing for that
+indirectly, e.g., by checking that functions like
+'libxml-parse-html-region' return nil.
+
++++
+** 'libxml-parse-xml-region' and 'libxml-parse-html' region take
+a parameter that's called DISCARD-COMMENTS, but it really only
+discards the top-level comment. Therefore this parameter is now
+obsolete, and the new utility function 'xml-remove-comments' can be
+used to remove comments before calling the libxml functions to parse
+the data.
+
++++
+** The Network Security Manager now allows more fine-grained control
+of what checks to run via the `network-security-protocol-checks'
+variable.
-*** VC support for Mercurial was improved.
-Emacs now avoids invoking 'hg' as much as possible, for faster operation.
-(This and the following changes were actually made in Emacs 26.1, but
-were not called out in its NEWS.)
++++
+** TLS connections have their security tightened by default.
+Most of the checks for outdated, believed-to-be-weak TLS algorithms
+and ciphers are now switched on by default. By default, the NSM will
+flag connections using these weak algorithms and ask users whether to
+allow them. To get the old behavior back (where certificates are
+checked for validity, but no warnings about weak cryptography are
+issued), you can either set 'network-security-protocol-checks' to nil,
+or adjust the elements in that variable to only happen on the 'high'
+security level (assuming you use the 'medium' level).
+
++++
+** New function 'fill-polish-nobreak-p', to be used in 'fill-nobreak-predicate'.
+It blocks line breaking after a one-letter word, also in the case when
+this word is preceded by a non-space, but non-alphanumeric character.
+
++++
+** The limit on repetitions in regexps has been raised to 2^16-1.
+It was previously limited to 2^15-1. For example, the following
+regular expression was previously invalid, but is now accepted:
+
+ x\{32768\}
---
-**** New vc-hg options.
-The new option 'vc-hg-parse-hg-data-structures' controls whether vc-hg
-will try parsing the Mercurial data structures directly instead of
-running 'hg'; it defaults to t (set to nil if you want the pre-26.1
-behavior).
-The new option 'vc-hg-symbolic-revision-styles' controls how versions
-in a Mercurial repository are presented symbolically on the mode line.
-The new option 'vc-hg-use-file-version-for-mode-line-version' controls
-whether the version shown on the mode line is that of the visited file
-or of the repository working copy.
+** The German prefix and postfix input methods now support Capital sharp S.
----
-**** Display of Mercurial revisions in the mode-line has changed.
-Previously, the mode line displayed the local number (1, 2, 3, ...) of
-the revision. Starting with Emacs 26.1, the default has changed, and
-it now shows the global revision number, in the form of its changeset
-hash value. To get back the previous behavior, customize the new
-option 'vc-hg-symbolic-revision-styles' to the value '("{rev}")'.
++++
+** New function 'exec-path'.
+This function by default returns the value of the corresponding
+variable, but can optionally return the equivalent of 'exec-path'
+from a remote host.
----
-** shadowfile.el has been rewritten to support Tramp file names.
++++
+** The function 'executable-find' supports an optional argument REMOTE.
+This triggers to search the program on the remote host as indicated by
+'default-directory'.

-* Changes in Emacs 26.2 on Non-Free Operating Systems
-
-\f
-* Installation Changes in Emacs 26.1
-
-** By default libgnutls is now required when building Emacs.
-Use 'configure --with-gnutls=no' to build even when GnuTLS is missing.
-
-** GnuTLS version 2.12.2 or later is now required, instead of merely
-version 2.6.6 or later.
-
-** The new option 'configure --with-mailutils' causes Emacs to rely on
-GNU Mailutils to retrieve email. It is recommended, and is the
-default if GNU Mailutils is installed. When --with-mailutils is not
-in effect, the Emacs build procedure by default continues to build and
-install a limited 'movemail' substitute that retrieves POP3 email only
-via insecure channels. To avoid this problem, use either
---with-mailutils or --without-pop when configuring; --without-pop
-is the default on platforms other than native MS-Windows.
-
-** The new option 'configure --enable-gcc-warnings=warn-only' causes
-GCC to issue warnings without stopping the build. This behavior is
-now the default in developer builds. As before, use
-'--disable-gcc-warnings' to suppress GCC's warnings, and
-'--enable-gcc-warnings' to stop the build if GCC issues warnings.
-
-** When GCC warnings are enabled, '--enable-check-lisp-object-type' is
-now enabled by default when configuring.
-
-** The Emacs server now has socket-launching support. This allows
-socket based activation, where an external process like systemd can
-invoke the Emacs server process upon a socket connection event and
-hand the socket over to Emacs. Emacs uses this socket to service
-emacsclient commands. This new functionality can be disabled with the
-configure option '--disable-libsystemd'.
-
-** A systemd user unit file is provided. Use it in the standard way:
-'systemctl --user enable emacs'.
-(If your Emacs is installed in a non-standard location, you may
-need to copy the emacs.service file to eg ~/.config/systemd/user/)
-
-** New configure option '--disable-build-details' attempts to build an
-Emacs that is more likely to be reproducible; that is, if you build
-and install Emacs twice, the second Emacs is a copy of the first.
-Deterministic builds omit the build date from the output of the
-'emacs-version' and 'erc-cmd-SV' functions, and the leave the
-following variables nil: 'emacs-build-system', 'emacs-build-time',
-'erc-emacs-build-time'.
-
-** Emacs can now be built with support for Little CMS.
-
-If the lcms2 library is installed, Emacs will enable features built on
-top of that library. The new configure option '--without-lcms2' can
-be used to build without lcms2 support even if it is installed. Emacs
-linked to Little CMS exposes color management functions in Lisp: the
-color metrics 'lcms-cie-de2000' and 'lcms-cam02-ucs', as well as
-functions for conversion to and from CIE CAM02 and CAM02-UCS.
-
-** The configure option '--with-gameuser' now defaults to 'no',
-as this appears to be the most common configuration in practice.
-When it is 'no', the shared game directory and the auxiliary program
-update-game-score are no longer needed and are not installed.
-
-** Emacs no longer works on IRIX. We expect that Emacs users are not
-affected by this, as SGI stopped supporting IRIX in December 2013.
-
-\f
-* Startup Changes in Emacs 26.1
-
-** New option '--fg-daemon'. This is the same as '--daemon', except
-it runs in the foreground and does not fork. This is intended for
-modern init systems such as systemd, which manage many of the traditional
-aspects of daemon behavior themselves. '--bg-daemon' is now an alias
-for '--daemon'.
-
-** New option '--module-assertions'.
-When given this option, Emacs will perform expensive correctness
-checks when dealing with dynamic modules. This is intended for module
-authors that wish to verify that their module conforms to the module
-requirements. The option makes Emacs abort if a module-related
-assertion triggers.
-
-** Emacs now supports 24-bit colors on capable text terminals.
-Terminal is automatically initialized to use 24-bit colors if the
-required capabilities are found in terminfo. See the FAQ node
-"(efaq) Colors on a TTY" for more information.
-
-** Emacs now obeys the X resource "scrollBar" at startup.
-The effect is similar to that of "toolBar" resource on the tool bar.
-
-\f
-* Changes in Emacs 26.1
-
-** Option 'buffer-offer-save' can be set to new value, 'always'. When
-set to 'always', the command 'save-some-buffers' will always offer
-this buffer for saving.
-
-** Security vulnerability related to Enriched Text mode is removed.
-
-*** Enriched Text mode does not evaluate Lisp in 'display' properties.
-This feature allows saving 'display' properties as part of text.
-Emacs 'display' properties support evaluation of arbitrary Lisp forms
-as part of processing the property for display, so displaying Enriched
-Text could be vulnerable to executing arbitrary malicious Lisp code
-included in the text (e.g., sent as part of an email message).
-Therefore, execution of arbitrary Lisp forms in 'display' properties
-decoded by Enriched Text mode is now disabled by default. Customize
-the new option 'enriched-allow-eval-in-display-props' to a non-nil
-value to allow Lisp evaluation in decoded 'display' properties.
-
-This vulnerability was introduced in Emacs 21.1. To work around that
-in Emacs versions before 25.3, append the following to your ~/.emacs
-init file:
-
- (eval-after-load "enriched"
- '(defun enriched-decode-display-prop (start end &optional param)
- (list start end)))
-
-** Functions in 'write-contents-functions' can fully short-circuit the
-'save-buffer' process. Previously, saving a buffer that was not
-visiting a file would always prompt for a file name. Now it only does
-so if 'write-contents-functions' is nil (or all its functions return
-nil).
-
-** New variable 'executable-prefix-env' for inserting magic signatures.
-This variable affects the format of the interpreter magic number
-inserted by 'executable-set-magic'. If non-nil, the magic number now
-takes the form "#!/usr/bin/env interpreter", otherwise the value
-determined by 'executable-prefix', which is by default
-"#!/path/to/interpreter". By default, 'executable-prefix-env' is nil,
-so the default behavior is not changed.
-
-** The variable 'emacs-version' no longer includes the build number.
-This is now stored separately in a new variable, 'emacs-build-number'.
-
-** Emacs now provides a limited form of concurrency with Lisp threads.
-Concurrency in Emacs Lisp is "mostly cooperative", meaning that
-Emacs will only switch execution between threads at well-defined
-times: when Emacs waits for input, during blocking operations related
-to threads (such as mutex locking), or when the current thread
-explicitly yields. Global variables are shared among all threads, but
-a 'let' binding is thread-local. Each thread also has its own current
-buffer and its own match data.
-
-See the chapter "(elisp) Threads" in the ELisp manual for full
-documentation of these facilities.
-
-** The new user variable 'electric-quote-chars' provides a list
-of curved quotes for 'electric-quote-mode', allowing user to choose
-the types of quotes to be used.
-
-** The new user option 'electric-quote-context-sensitive' makes
-'electric-quote-mode' context sensitive. If it is non-nil, you can
-type an ASCII apostrophe to insert an opening or closing quote,
-depending on context. Emacs will replace the apostrophe by an opening
-quote character at the beginning of the buffer, the beginning of a
-line, after a whitespace character, and after an opening parenthesis;
-and it will replace the apostrophe by a closing quote character in all
-other cases.
-
-** The new variable 'electric-quote-inhibit-functions' controls when
-to disable electric quoting based on context. Major modes can add
-functions to this list; Emacs will temporarily disable
-'electric-quote-mode' whenever any of the functions returns non-nil.
-This can be used by major modes that derive from 'text-mode' but allow
-inline code segments, such as 'markdown-mode'.
-
-** The new user variable 'dired-omit-case-fold' allows the user to
-customize the case-sensitivity of dired-omit-mode. It defaults to
-the same sensitivity as that of the filesystem for the corresponding
-dired buffer.
-
-** Emacs now uses double buffering to reduce flicker when editing and
-resizing graphical Emacs frames on the X Window System. This support
-requires the DOUBLE-BUFFER extension, which major X servers have
-supported for many years. If your system has this extension, but an
-Emacs built with double buffering misbehaves on some displays you use,
-you can disable the feature by adding
-
- '(inhibit-double-buffering . t)
-
-to default-frame-alist. Or inject this parameter into the selected
-frame by evaluating this form:
-
- (modify-frame-parameters nil '((inhibit-double-buffering . t)))
-
-** The customization group 'wp', whose label was "text", is now
-deprecated. Use the new group 'text', which inherits from 'wp',
-instead.
-
-** The new function 'call-shell-region' executes a command in an
-inferior shell with the buffer region as input.
-
-** The new user option 'shell-command-dont-erase-buffer' controls
-if the output buffer is erased between shell commands; if non-nil,
-the output buffer is not erased; this variable also controls where
-to set the point in the output buffer: beginning of the output,
-end of the buffer or save the point.
-When 'shell-command-dont-erase-buffer' is nil, the default value,
-the behavior of 'shell-command', 'shell-command-on-region' and
-'async-shell-command' is as usual.
-
-** The new user option 'async-shell-command-display-buffer' controls
-whether the output buffer of an asynchronous command is shown
-immediately, or only when there is output.
-
-** New user option 'mouse-select-region-move-to-beginning'.
-This option controls the position of point when double-clicking
-mouse-1 on the end of a parenthetical grouping or string-delimiter:
-the default value nil keeps point at the end of the region, setting it
-to non-nil moves point to the beginning of the region.
-
-** New user option 'mouse-drag-and-drop-region'.
-This option allows you to drag the entire region of text to another
-place or another buffer. Its behavior is customizable via the new
-options 'mouse-drag-and-drop-region-cut-when-buffers-differ',
-'mouse-drag-and-drop-region-show-tooltip', and
-'mouse-drag-and-drop-region-show-cursor'.
-
-** The new user option 'confirm-kill-processes' allows the user to
-skip a confirmation prompt for killing subprocesses when exiting
-Emacs. When set to t (the default), Emacs will prompt for
-confirmation before killing subprocesses on exit, which is the same
-behavior as before.
-
-** 'find-library-name' will now fall back on looking at 'load-history'
-to try to locate libraries that have been loaded with an explicit path
-outside 'load-path'.
-
-** Faces in 'minibuffer-prompt-properties' no longer overwrite properties
-in the text in functions like 'read-from-minibuffer', but instead are
-added to the end of the face list. This allows users to say things
-like '(read-from-minibuffer (propertize "Enter something: " 'face 'bold))'.
-
-** The new variable 'extended-command-suggest-shorter' has been added
-to control whether to suggest shorter 'M-x' commands or not.
-
-** icomplete now respects 'completion-ignored-extensions'.
-
-** Non-breaking hyphens are now displayed with the 'nobreak-hyphen'
-face instead of the 'escape-glyph' face.
-
-** Approximations to quotes are now displayed with the new 'homoglyph'
-face instead of the 'escape-glyph' face.
-
-** New face 'header-line-highlight'.
-This face is the header-line analogue of 'mode-line-highlight'; it
-should be the preferred mouse-face for mouse-sensitive elements in the
-header line.
-
-** 'C-x h' ('mark-whole-buffer') will now avoid marking the prompt
-part of minibuffers.
-
-** 'fill-paragraph' no longer marks the buffer as changed unless it
-actually changed something.
-
-** The locale language name 'ca' is now mapped to the language
-environment 'Catalan', which has been added.
-
-** 'align-regexp' has a separate history for its interactive argument.
-'align-regexp' no longer shares its history with all other
-history-less functions that use 'read-string'.
-
-** The networking code has been reworked so that it's more
-asynchronous than it was (when specifying :nowait t in
-'make-network-process'). How asynchronous it is varies based on the
-capabilities of the system, but on a typical GNU/Linux system the DNS
-resolution, the connection, and (for TLS streams) the TLS negotiation
-are all done without blocking the main Emacs thread. To get
-asynchronous TLS, the TLS boot parameters have to be passed in (see
-the manual for details).
-
-Certain process oriented functions (like 'process-datagram-address')
-will block until socket setup has been performed. The recommended way
-to deal with asynchronous sockets is to avoid interacting with them
-until they have changed status to "run". This is most easily done
-from a process sentinel.
-
-** 'make-network-process' and 'open-network-stream' sometimes allowed
-:service to be an integer string (e.g., :service "993") and sometimes
-required an integer (e.g., :service 993). This difference has been
-eliminated, and integer strings work everywhere.
-
-** It is possible to disable attempted recovery on fatal signals.
-Two new variables support disabling 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.
-
-** File local and directory local variables are now initialized each
-time the major mode is set, not just when the file is first visited.
-These local variables will thus not vanish on setting a major mode.
-
-** A second dir-local file (.dir-locals-2.el) is now accepted.
-See the doc string of 'dir-locals-file' for more information.
-
-** Connection-local variables can be used to specify local variables
-with a value depending on the connected remote server. For details,
-see the node "(elisp) Connection Local Variables" in the ELisp manual.
-
-** International domain names (IDNA) are now encoded via the new
-puny.el library, so that one can visit Web sites with non-ASCII URLs.
-
-** The new 'list-timers' command lists all active timers in a buffer,
-where you can cancel them with the 'c' command.
-
-** 'switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point' now defaults to t.
-Applications that call 'switch-to-buffer' and want to show the buffer at
-the position of its point should use 'pop-to-buffer-same-window' in lieu
-of 'switch-to-buffer'.
-
-** The new variable 'debugger-stack-frame-as-list' allows displaying
-all call stack frames in a Lisp backtrace buffer as lists. Both
-debug.el and edebug.el have been updated to heed to this variable.
-
-** Values in call stack frames are now displayed using 'cl-prin1'.
-The old behavior of using 'prin1' can be restored by customizing the
-new option 'debugger-print-function'.
-
-** NUL bytes in text copied to the system clipboard are now replaced with "\0".
-
-** The new variable 'x-ctrl-keysym' has been added to the existing
-roster of X keysyms. It can be used in combination with another
-variable of this kind to swap modifiers in Emacs.
-
-** New input methods: 'cyrillic-tuvan', 'polish-prefix', 'uzbek-cyrillic'.
-
-** The 'dutch' input method no longer attempts to support Turkish too.
-Also, it no longer converts 'IJ' and 'ij' to the compatibility
-characters U+0132 LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE IJ and U+0133 LATIN SMALL
-LIGATURE IJ.
-
-** File name quoting by adding the prefix "/:" is now possible for the
-local part of a remote file name. Thus, if you have a directory named
-"/~" on the remote host "foo", you can prevent it from being
-substituted by a home directory by writing it as "/foo:/:/~/file".
-
-** The new variable 'maximum-scroll-margin' allows having effective
-settings of 'scroll-margin' up to half the window size, instead of
-always restricting the margin to a quarter of the window.
-
-** Emacs can scroll horizontally using mouse, touchpad, and trackbar.
-You can enable this by customizing 'mouse-wheel-tilt-scroll'. If you
-want to reverse the direction of the scroll, customize
-'mouse-wheel-flip-direction'.
-
-** The default GnuTLS priority string now includes %DUMBFW.
-This is to avoid bad behavior in some firewalls, which causes the
-connection to be closed by the remote host.
-
-** Emacsclient changes
-
-*** Emacsclient has a new option '-u' / '--suppress-output'.
-This option suppresses display of return values from the server
-process.
-
-*** Emacsclient has a new option '-T' / '--tramp'.
-This helps with using a local Emacs session as the server for a remote
-emacsclient. With appropriate setup, one can now set the EDITOR
-environment variable on a remote machine to emacsclient, and
-use the local Emacs to edit remote files via Tramp. See the node
-"(emacs) emacsclient Options" in the user manual for the details.
-
-*** Emacsclient now accepts command-line options in ALTERNATE_EDITOR
-and '--alternate-editor'. For example, ALTERNATE_EDITOR="emacs -Q -nw".
-Arguments may be quoted "like this", so that for example an absolute
-path containing a space may be specified; quote escaping is not
-supported.
-
-** New user option 'dig-program-options' and extended functionality
-for DNS-querying functions 'nslookup-host', 'dns-lookup-host',
-and 'run-dig'. Each function now accepts an optional name server
-argument interactively (with a prefix argument) and non-interactively.
-
-** 'describe-key-briefly' now ignores mouse movement events.
-
-** The new variable 'eval-expression-print-maximum-character' prevents
-large integers from being displayed as characters by 'M-:' and similar
-commands.
-
-** Two new commands for finding the source code of Emacs Lisp
-libraries: 'find-library-other-window' and 'find-library-other-frame'.
-
-** The new variable 'display-raw-bytes-as-hex' allows you to change
-the display of raw bytes from octal to hex.
-
-** You can now provide explicit field numbers in format specifiers.
-For example, '(format "%2$s %1$s %2$s" "X" "Y")' produces "Y X Y".
-
-** Emacs now supports optional display of line numbers in the buffer.
-This is similar to what 'linum-mode' provides, but much faster and
-doesn't usurp the display margin for the line numbers. Customize the
-buffer-local variable 'display-line-numbers' to activate this optional
-display. Alternatively, you can use the 'display-line-numbers-mode'
-minor mode or the global 'global-display-line-numbers-mode'. When
-using these modes, customize 'display-line-numbers-type' with the same
-value as you would use with 'display-line-numbers'.
-
-Line numbers are not displayed at all in minibuffer windows and in
-tooltips, as they are not useful there.
-
-Lisp programs can disable line-number display for a particular screen
-line by putting the 'display-line-numbers-disable' text property or
-overlay property on the first character of that screen line. This is
-intended for add-on packages that need a finer control of the display.
-
-Lisp programs that need to know how much screen estate is used up for
-line-number display in a window can use the new function
-'line-number-display-width'.
-
-'linum-mode' and all similar packages are henceforth becoming obsolete.
-Users and developers are encouraged to switch to this new feature
-instead.
-
-** The new user option 'arabic-shaper-ZWNJ-handling' controls how to
-handle ZWNJ in Arabic text rendering.
-
-\f
-* Editing Changes in Emacs 26.1
-
-** New variable 'column-number-indicator-zero-based'.
-Traditionally, in Column Number mode, the displayed column number
-counts from zero starting at the left margin of the window. This
-behavior is now controlled by 'column-number-indicator-zero-based'.
-If you would prefer for the displayed column number to count from one,
-you may set this variable to nil. (Behind the scenes, there is now a
-new mode line construct, '%C', which operates exactly as '%c' does
-except that it counts from one.)
-
-** New single-line horizontal scrolling mode.
-The 'auto-hscroll-mode' variable can now have a new special value,
-'current-line', which causes only the line where the cursor is
-displayed to be horizontally scrolled when lines are truncated on
-display and point moves outside the left or right window margin.
-
-** New mode line constructs '%o' and '%q', and user option
-'mode-line-percent-position'. '%o' displays the "degree of travel" of
-the window through the buffer. Unlike the default '%p', this
-percentage approaches 100% as the window approaches the end of the
-buffer. '%q' displays the percentage offsets of both the start and
-the end of the window, e.g. "5-17%". The new option
-'mode-line-percent-position' makes it easier to switch between '%p',
-'%P', and these new constructs.
-
-** Two new user options 'list-matching-lines-jump-to-current-line' and
-'list-matching-lines-current-line-face' to show the current line
-highlighted in *Occur* buffer.
-
-** The 'occur' command can now operate on the region.
-
-** New bindings for 'query-replace-map'.
-'undo', undo the last replacement; bound to 'u'.
-'undo-all', undo all replacements; bound to 'U'.
-
-** 'delete-trailing-whitespace' deletes whitespace after form feed.
-In modes where form feed was treated as a whitespace character,
-'delete-trailing-whitespace' would keep lines containing it unchanged.
-It now deletes whitespace after the last form feed thus behaving the
-same as in modes where the character is not whitespace.
-
-** Emacs no longer prompts about editing a changed file when the file's
-content is unchanged. Instead of only checking the modification time,
-Emacs now also checks the file's actual content before prompting the user.
-
-** Various casing improvements.
-
-*** 'upcase', 'upcase-region' et al. convert title case characters
-(such as Dz) into their upper case form (such as DZ).
-
-*** 'capitalize', 'upcase-initials' et al. make use of title-case forms
-of initial characters (correctly producing for example Džungla instead
-of incorrect DŽungla).
-
-*** Characters which turn into multiple ones when cased are correctly handled.
-For example, fi ligature is converted to FI when upper cased.
-
-*** Greek small sigma is correctly handled when at the end of the word.
-Strings such as ΌΣΟΣ are now correctly converted to Όσος when
-capitalized instead of incorrect Όσοσ (compare lowercase sigma at the
-end of the word).
-
-** Emacs can now auto-save buffers to visited files in a more robust
-manner via the new mode 'auto-save-visited-mode'. Unlike
-'auto-save-visited-file-name', this mode uses the normal saving
-procedure and therefore obeys saving hooks.
-'auto-save-visited-file-name' is now obsolete.
-
-** New behavior of 'mark-defun'.
-Prefix argument selects that many (or that many more) defuns.
-Negative prefix arg flips the direction of selection. Also,
-'mark-defun' between defuns correctly selects N following defuns (or
--N previous for negative arguments). Finally, comments preceding the
-defun are selected unless they are separated from the defun by a blank
-line.
-
-** New command 'replace-buffer-contents'.
-This command replaces the contents of the accessible portion of the
-current buffer with the contents of the accessible portion of a
-different buffer while keeping point, mark, markers, and text
-properties as intact as possible.
-
-** New commands 'apropos-local-variable' and 'apropos-local-value'.
-These are buffer-local versions of 'apropos-variable' and
-'apropos-value', respectively. They show buffer-local variables whose
-names and values, respectively, match a given pattern.
-
-** More user control of reordering bidirectional text for display.
-The two new variables, 'bidi-paragraph-start-re' and
-'bidi-paragraph-separate-re', allow customization of what exactly are
-paragraphs, for the purposes of bidirectional display.
-
** New variable 'x-wait-for-event-timeout'.
This controls how long Emacs will wait for updates to the graphical
state to take effect (making a frame visible, for example).
