This is to fix an embarrassing typo in the original name. +** 'desktop-save-mode' now saves the desktop in 'save-buffers-kill-emacs'. +Previously, the desktop was saved in 'kill-emacs' via +'kill-emacs-hook'. However, that violated the convention that +functions in 'kill-emacs-hook' cannot interact with the user, and in +particular didn't play well with ending daemon sessions of Emacs. So +we moved the saving of the desktop to 'save-buffers-kill-emacs', via +'kill-emacs-query-functions'. To make sure the desktop is saved, +terminate Emacs with 'save-buffers-kill-emacs', not with 'kill-emacs'. + +(This change was done in Emacs 28.1, but we didn't announce it in NEWS +back then.) + * New Modes and Packages in Emacs 28.2 -- 2.39.2
