+*** doc-view can now generate SVG images when viewing PDF files.
+If Emacs is built with SVG support, doc-view can generate SVG files
+when using MuPDF as the converter for PDF files, which generally leads
+to sharper images (especially when zooming), and allows customization
+of background and foreground color of the page via the new user
+options 'doc-view-svg-background' and 'doc-view-svg-foreground'.  To
+activate this behaviour, set 'doc-view-mupdf-use-svg' to non-nil if
+your Emacs has SVG support.  Note that, with some versions of MuPDF,
+SVG generation is known to sometimes produce SVG files that are buggy
+or can take a long time to render.
