Highlights of this release include:
- Emacs can now load shared/dynamic libraries (modules)
- Experimental support for Cairo drawing
- Enhanced network security (TLS/SSL certificate validity and the
like)
- New minor mode 'electric-quote-mode' for using curved quotes as you
type
- Character folding support in isearch.el
- Xwidgets: a new feature for embedding native widgets inside Emacs
buffers
- New and improved facilities for inserting Unicode characters
There are many more changes; for a summary see the etc/NEWS file,
which you can view from Emacs with `C-h n'.
