This file is about changes in Emacs version 31.
|
||
|
||
See file HISTORY for a list of GNU Emacs versions and release dates.
|
||
See files NEWS.30, NEWS.29, ..., NEWS.18, and NEWS.1-17 for changes
|
||
in older Emacs versions.
|
||
|
||
You can narrow news to a specific version by calling 'view-emacs-news'
|
||
with a prefix argument or by typing 'C-u C-h C-n'.
|

Temporary note:
|
||
+++ indicates that all relevant manuals in doc/ have been updated.

* Installation Changes in Emacs 31.1

|

* Startup Changes in Emacs 31.1
|

|
||
|
||
* Changes in Emacs 31.1
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** "find-func.el" commands now have history enabled.
|
||
The 'find-function', 'find-library', 'find-face-definition', and
|
||
'find-variable' commands now allow retrieving previous input using the
|
||
usual minibuffer history commands. Each command has a separate history.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Editing Changes in Emacs 31.1
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 31.1
|
||
|
||
** Whitespace
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** 'whitespace-cleanup' now adds missing newline at end of file.
|
||
If 'whitespace-style' includes 'missing-newline-at-eof (which is the
|
||
default), the 'whitespace-cleanup' function will now add the newline.
|
||
|
||
** Eshell
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** New option 'eshell-command-async-buffer'.
|
||
This option lets you tell 'eshell-command' how to respond if its output
|
||
buffer is already in use by another invocation of 'eshell-command', much
|
||
like 'async-shell-command-buffer' does for 'shell-command'. By default,
|
||
this will prompt for confirmation before creating a new buffer when
|
||
necessary. To restore the previous behavior, set this option to
|
||
'confirm-kill-process'.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** 'eshell-execute-file' is now an interactive command.
|
||
Interactively, this now prompts for a script file to execute. With the
|
||
prefix argument, it will also insert any output into the current buffer
|
||
at point.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** 'eshell-command' and 'eshell-execute-file' can now set where stderr goes.
|
||
These functions now take an optional ERROR-TARGET argument to control
|
||
where to send the standard error output. See the "(eshell) Entry
|
||
Points" node in the Eshell manual for more details.
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Eshell's built-in "wait" command now accepts a timeout.
|
||
By passing "-t" or "--timeout", you can specify a maximum time to wait
|
||
for the processes to exit. Additionally, you can now wait for external
|
||
processes by passing their PIDs.
|
||
|
||
** SHR
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** SHR now slices large images into rows.
|
||
Sliced images allow for more intuitive scrolling up/down by letting you
|
||
scroll past each slice, instead of jumping past the entire image.
|
||
Previously, SHR sliced images when zoomed to their original size, no
|
||
matter how large or small that was). Now, SHR slices any images taller
|
||
than 'shr-sliced-image-height'. For more information, see the "(eww)
|
||
Advanced" node in the EWW manual.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** You can now customize the image zoom levels to cycle through.
|
||
By customizing 'shr-image-zoom-levels', you can change the list of zoom
|
||
levels that SHR cycles through when calling 'shr-zoom-image'.
|
||
|
||
** Emacs Lisp mode
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Checkdoc no longer warns about missing footer lines in some cases.
|
||
Emacs Lisp libraries have traditionally ended with a footer line
|
||
(sometimes referred to as "terminating comment"). Their purpose was to
|
||
easily detect files that had been truncated in transit on ancient and
|
||
less reliable connections:
|
||
|
||
;; some-cool-package.el ends here
|
||
|
||
'checkdoc' will no longer warn if that line is missing for packages that
|
||
explicitly only support Emacs 30.1 or later, as specified in the
|
||
"Package-Requires" header. The reason for keeping the warning for
|
||
packages that support earlier versions of Emacs is that package.el in
|
||
those versions can't install packages where that line is missing.
|
||
|
||
This change affects both 'M-x checkdoc' and the corresponding flymake
|
||
backend.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** Checkdoc will now flag incorrect formatting in warnings.
|
||
This affects calls to 'warn', 'lwarn', 'display-warning', and
|
||
'message-box'.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
*** The default of 'checkdoc-verb-check-experimental-flag' is now nil.
|
||
In most cases, having it enabled leads to a large amount of false
|
||
positives.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* New Modes and Packages in Emacs 31.1
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 31.1
|
||

||
|
||
* Lisp Changes in Emacs 31.1
|
||
|
||
+++
|
||
*** Support interactive D-Bus authorization.
|
||
A new ':authorizable t' parameter has been added to 'dbus-call-method'
|
||
and 'dbus-call-method-asynchronously' to allow the user to interactively
|
||
authorize the invoked D-Bus method (e.g., via polkit).
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in Emacs 31.1 on Non-Free Operating Systems
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
** Process execution has been optimized on Android.
|
||
The run-time performance of subprocesses on recent Android releases
|
||
where a userspace executable loader is required has been optimized on
|
||
systems featuring Linux 3.5.0 and above.
