This is only useful for Emacs developers to debug certain types of bugs.
This is not a new feature; only the configure flag is new.
+** There is a new configure option --with-wide-int.
+With it, Emacs integers typically have 62 bits, even on 32-bit machines.

** New translation of the Emacs Tutorial in Hebrew is available.
Type `C-u C-h t' to choose it in case your language setup doesn't

* Changes in Emacs 24.1
+** The inactive minibuffer has its own major mode `minibuffer-inactive-mode'.
+This is handy for minibuffer-only frames, and is also used for the "mouse-1
+pops up *Messages*" feature, which can now easily be changed.
+
** emacsclient changes
*** New emacsclient argument --parent-id ID can be used to open a
+++
*** New emacsclient argument -q/--quiet suppresses some status messages.
++++
+*** New emacsclient argument --frame-parameters can be used to set the
+frame parameters of a newly-created graphical frame.
+
*** If emacsclient shuts down as a result of Emacs signalling an
error, its exit status is 1.
** Completion
+*** shell-mode uses pcomplete rules, with the standard completion UI.
+
*** Many packages have been changed to use completion-at-point rather than
their own completion code.
** auto-mode-case-fold is now enabled by default.
+** smtpmail changes
+
+** smtpmail has been largely rewritten to upgrade to STARTTLS if
+possible, and uses the auth-source framework for getting credentials.
+The rewrite should be largely compatible with previous versions of
+smtpmail, but there are two major incompatibilities:
+
+** `smtpmail-auth-credentials' no longer exists. That variable could
+be either ~/.authinfo (in which case you're fine -- you won't see any
+difference), but if it were a direct list of user names and passwords,
+you will be prompted for the user name and the password instead, and
+they will then be saved to ~/.authinfo.
+
+** Similarly, if you had `smtpmail-starttls-credentials' set, then
+then you need to put
+
+machine smtp.whatever.foo port 25 key "~/.my_smtp_tls.key" cert "~/.my_smtp_tls.cert"
+
+in your ~/.authinfo file instead.

** Internationalization changes

+++
** The use of a "mode: minor" specification in a file local variables section
-to enable a minor-mode is deprecated. Instead, use "eval: (minor-mode)".
+to enable a minor-mode is deprecated. Instead, use "eval: (minor-mode 1)".
** The standalone programs lib-src/digest-doc and sorted-doc have been
replaced with Lisp commands `doc-file-to-man' and `doc-file-to-info'.
** The variable `focus-follows-mouse' now always defaults to nil.
-** Function `sha1' is now implemented in C for speed.
+** New primitive `secure-hash' that supports many secure hash algorithms
+including md5, sha-1 and sha-2 (sha-224, sha-256, sha-384 and sha-512).
The elisp implementation sha1.el is removed. Feature sha1 is provided
by default.
+** Menu-bar changes
+
+*** `menu-bar-select-buffer-function' lets you choose another operation
+instead of `switch-to-buffer' when selecting an item in the Buffers menu.
+
\f
* Editing Changes in Emacs 24.1
*** Support for X clipboard managers has been added.
+**** To inhibit use of the clipboard manager, set
+`x-select-enable-clipboard-manager' to nil.
+
** New command `rectangle-number-lines', bound to `C-x r N', numbers
the lines in the current rectangle. With an prefix argument, this
prompts for a number to count from and for a format string.
** Modula-2 mode provides auto-indentation.
+** BibTeX mode
+
+*** New command `bibtex-search-entries' bound to C-c C-a.
+
+*** New `bibtex-entry-format' option `sort-fields', disabled by default.
+
+*** New variable `bibtex-search-entry-globally'.
+
** latex-electric-env-pair-mode keeps \begin..\end matched on the fly.
** FIXME: xdg-open for browse-url and reportbug, 2010/08.
*** Appointments can specify their individual warning times.
See the variable `appt-warning-time-regexp'.
+---
+*** The function specified by `appt-disp-window-function' may be passed
+lists of arguments if multiple appointments are due at similar times.
+If you are using a custom function for this, you should update it.
+
+++
*** New function `diary-hebrew-birthday'.
*** An API for manipulating SQL product definitions has been added.
+** Image mode
+
+*** RET (`image-toggle-animation') toggles animation, if the displayed
+image can be animated.
+
+*** Option `image-animate-loop', if non-nil, loops the animation.
+If nil, `image-toggle-animation' plays the animation once.
+
** sregex.el is now obsolete, since rx.el is a strict superset.
** s-region.el and pc-select are now declared obsolete,
** Image API
-*** When the image type is one of listed in `image-animated-types'
-and the number of sub-images in the image is more than one, then the
-new function `create-animated-image' creates an animated image where
-sub-images are displayed successively with the duration defined by
-`image-animate-max-time' and the delay between sub-images defined
-by the Graphic Control Extension of the image.
+*** Animated images support (currently animated gifs only).
+
+**** `image-animated-p' returns non-nil if an image can be animated.
+
+**** `image-animate' animates a supplied image spec.
+
+**** `image-animate-timer' returns the timer object for an image that
+is being animated.
*** `image-extension-data' is renamed to `image-metadata'.
** `set-auto-mode' now respects mode: local variables at the end of files,
as well as those in the -*- line.
+---
+** rx.el has a new `group-n' construct for explicitly numbered groups.
