the keyboard macro ring.
+The C-x e command now terminates the current macro rather than

+In addition, when ending or calling a macro with C-x e, the macro can
+be repeated immediately by typing just the `e'. You can customize
+this behaviour via the variable kmacro-call-repeat-key and
+kmacro-call-repeat-with-arg.
