  rule applies to file buffers.  For non-file buffers, the behavior may
  be mode dependent.
  
+ If you are sure that the file will only change by growing at the end,
+ then you can tail the file more efficiently by using the new minor
+ mode Auto Revert Tail mode.  The function `auto-revert-tail-mode'
+ toggles this mode.
+ 
  ** Auto Revert mode is now more careful to avoid excessive reverts and
  other potential problems when deciding which non-file buffers to
  revert.  This matters especially if Global Auto Revert mode is enabled

+ Failed isearch wraps to the top/final node.
+ 
+ *** New search commands: `Info-search-case-sensitively' (bound to S),
+ `Info-search-backward', and `Info-search-next' which repeats the last
+ search without prompting for a new search string.
+ 
  *** New command `Info-history' (bound to L) displays a menu of visited nodes.

  *** New face `info-xref-visited' distinguishes visited nodes from unvisited
  and a new option `Info-fontify-visited-nodes' to control this.
