 New features and fixed bugs in this release
 -------------------------------------------
 
-There have been problems with the `-without-texmf-dir' option to
-`configure' when the value of `-with-kpathsea-sep' was set or
-determined for an installation system with a default different from
-that of the runtime system.  `with-kpathsea-sep' has been removed; the
-setting is now usually determined at runtime.
-
-Due to this and other problems, preview-latex in the released XEmacs
-package failed under Windows or with anything except recent 21.5
-XEmacsen.
-
-AUCTeX and preview-latex have been changed in order to accommodate
-file names containing spaces.  preview-latex now tolerates bad
-PostScript code polluting the stack (like some Omega fonts).
-
-`preview.sty' had in some cases failed to emit PostScript header
-specials.
-
-Support for folding of comments was added.
-
-The `polish' language option of the babel LaTeX package as well as the
-`polski' LaTeX package are now supported.  Most notably this means
-that AUCTeX will help to insert quotation marks as defined by
-polish.sty ("`..."') and polski.sty (,,...'').
+Font locking has been improved significantly.  It is now less prone to
+color bleeding which could lead to high resource usage.  In addition
+it now includes information about LaTeX macro syntax and can indicate
+syntactically incorrect macros in LaTeX mode.
 
-There has been quite a number of bug fixes to various features and
-documentation across the board, most critical probably the tool bar.
+The license was updated to GPLv3.
+
+Support for the nomencl, flashcards and comment LaTeX packages as well
+as the Icelandic language option of babel were added.
+
+Support for folding of math macros was added.
+
+Lots of minor bugs in features and documentation were fixed.
 
 IMPORTANT: Many of the new features in the 11.x series rely on special
 properties in the variable `TeX-command-list' and will not work if you

 The preview-latex subsystem requires image support.  This is available
