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'.
