 * Installation Changes in Emacs 29.1
 
+** Emacs now installs the .pdmp file using a unique fingerprint in the name.
+The file is typically installed using a file name akin to
+...dir/libexec/emacs/29.0.50/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/emacs-<fingerprint>.pdmp
+If a constant file name is required, the file can be renamed to
+"emacs.pdmp", and Emacs will find it during startup anyway.
