  Tested with emacs-27.


1.1.2 Add new action package-isolate for helm-packages
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  Allow launching a new Emacs with only package(s).


1.1.3 Packages list can be refreshed with C-c C-u
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  BTW there is no more option to update from actions with prefix arg.


1.1.4 Add more affixations fns for completing-read
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  Themes, colors etc…


1.1.5 Add new var helm-compleions-detailed for emacs-27
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  This allow using completions-detailed in Emacs-27 with various
  describe-* functions.


1.1.6 Helm-occur now doesn't hang when trying to match empty lines
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  I.e. Items in short documentation are not highlighted.


1.2 Version 3.9.4
─────────────────

1.2.1 Add two new alists to allow extending completions-detailed
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  This allows providing detailed completions in more places, see
  `helm-completing-read-extra-metadata` and
  `helm-completing-read-command-categories`.  They are not provided as
  user variables as it may be tricky to provide the corresponding
  affixations functions.  As of now we have detailed completions in
  describe-function/variable/symbol/command/package,
  find-function/variable, switch-to-buffer, customize-variable/group,
  package-(vc)install, package-vc-checkout.


1.2.2 New helm packages manager
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  The old helm-elisp-package has been replaced by helm-packages.  The
  old one was too slow, taking lot of memory and even crashing Emacs
  especially with last Emacs-29.


1.3 Version 3.9.3
─────────────────

1.3.1 Ensure to use affixation functions provided by caller in helm-mode
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌


1.4.2 Describe-* commands with completions-detailed are now fast
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌


1.4.3 Use Wfnames package as dependency to replace Wdired
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌


1.5 Version 3.9.1
─────────────────

1.5.1 helm-config file has been removed
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  Therefore (require 'helm-config) will return an error, don't use this
  anymore. If installing from source use instead (require
  'helm-autoloads), otherwise from a package install, the autoloads file
  will be automatically loaded.


1.5.2 Allow using helm-completion-styles-alist by command
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌


1.5.3 New mode for editing large vars
╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌

  Will be used automatically when using the set variable action from
  helm-apropos.
