Works for functions, variables, faces, etc. It is bound to `C-h o' by
default.
-** New user option `search-default-regexp-mode'
-specifies the default mode for I-search.
-
-** `isearch' and `query-replace' now perform character folding in matches.
-This is analogous to case folding, but instead of disregarding case
-variants, it disregards wider classes of distinctions between similar
-characters. (Case folding is a special case of character folding.)
-This means many characters in the search string will match entire
-groups of characters instead of just themselves.
-
-For instance, the " will match all variants of double quotes (like “
-and ”), and the letter a will match all of its accented cousins, even
-those composed of multiple characters, as well as many other symbols
-like ℀, ℁, ⒜, and ⓐ.
-
-** New function `character-fold-to-regexp' can be used
-by searching commands to produce a regexp matching anything that
-character-folds into STRING.
-
-** New command `checkdoc-package-keywords' checks if the
-current package keywords are recognized. Set the new option
-`checkdoc-package-keywords-flag' to non-nil to make
-`checkdoc-current-buffer' call this function automatically.
-
-** New function `checkdoc-file' checks for style errors.
-It's meant for use together with `compile':
-emacs -batch --eval "(checkdoc-file \"subr.el\")"
-
-** New command `comment-line' bound to `C-x C-;'.
-
** New function `custom-prompt-customize-unsaved-options' checks for
unsaved customizations and prompts user to customize (if found).
** C-h l now also lists the commands that were run.
----
-** The new M-s M-w key binding uses eww to search the web for the
-text in the region.

** M-x suggests shorthands and ignores obsolete commands for completion.
** x-select-enable-clipboard is renamed select-enable-clipboard.
x-select-enable-primary and renamed select-enable-primary.
** Emacs can now load shared/dynamic libraries (modules).
A dynamic Emacs module is a shared library that provides additional
functionality for use in Emacs Lisp programs, just like a package
-written in Emacs Lisp would. The functions `load' and `require' were
-extended to load such modules, as they do with Emacs Lisp packages.
+written in Emacs Lisp would. The functions `load', `require',
+`load-file', etc. were extended to load such modules, as they do with
+Emacs Lisp packages. The new variable `module-file-suffix' holds the
+system-dependent value of the file-name extension (`.so' on Posix
+hosts) of the module files.
A module should export a C-callable function named
`emacs_module_init', which Emacs will call as part of the call to
by default, and must be enabled by using the `--with-modules' option
at configure time.
+** New input method: `tamil-dvorak'.

* Editing Changes in Emacs 25.1
** Successive single-char deletions are collapsed in the undo-log just like
successive char insertions.
++++
+** New command `comment-line' bound to `C-x C-;'.
+
** Unicode names entered via C-x 8 RET now use substring completion by default.
** C-x 8 now has shorthands for these chars: ‐ ‑ ‒ – — ― ‘ ’ “ ” † ‡ • ′ ″

* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 25.1
+** Checkdoc
+
++++
+*** New command `checkdoc-package-keywords' checks if the
+current package keywords are recognized. Set the new option
+`checkdoc-package-keywords-flag' to non-nil to make
+`checkdoc-current-buffer' call this function automatically.
+

+*** New function `checkdoc-file' checks for style errors.
+It's meant for use together with `compile':
+emacs -batch --eval "(checkdoc-file \"subr.el\")"
+
** New function `bookmark-set-no-overwrite' bound to C-x r M.
It raises an error if a bookmark of that name already exists,
unlike `bookmark-set' which silently updates an existing bookmark.
** Search and Replace
++++
+*** New user option `search-default-regexp-mode'
+specifies the default mode for I-search.
+
++++
+*** `isearch' and `query-replace' can now perform character folding in matches.
+Isearch does that by default, while `query-replace' will do that if
+the new variable `replace-character-fold' is customized to a non-nil
+value. This is analogous to case folding, but instead of disregarding
+case variants, it disregards wider classes of distinctions between
+similar characters. (Case folding is a special case of character
+folding.) This means many characters in the search string will match
+entire groups of characters instead of just themselves.
+
+For instance, the " will match all variants of double quotes (like “
+and ”), and the letter a will match all of its accented cousins, even
+those composed of multiple characters, as well as many other symbols
+like ℀, ℁, ⒜, and ⓐ.
+
++++
+*** New function `character-fold-to-regexp' can be used
+by searching commands to produce a regexp matching anything that
+character-folds into STRING.
+
++++
+*** The new M-s M-w key binding uses eww to search the web for the
+text in the region. The search engine to use for this is specified by
+the customizable variable `eww-search-prefix'.
+
++++
*** Query-replace history is enhanced.
When query-replace reads the FROM string from the minibuffer, typing
`M-p' will now show previous replacements as "FROM SEP TO", where FROM
allow overriding the regular expression that recognizes the ldapsearch
command line's password prompt.
+EUDC's BBDB backend now supports BBDB 3.

* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 25.1
+---
+** `setq' and `setf' must now be called with an even number of
+arguments. The earlier behavior of silently supplying a nil to the
+last variable when there was an odd number of arguments has been
+eliminated.
+
** `syntax-begin-function' is declared obsolete.
Removed font-lock-beginning-of-syntax-function and the SYNTAX-BEGIN
slot in font-lock-defaults.
