For reference, from the Emacs News file (C-h n):

,----
| * Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 24.1

| +++
| ** Archive Mode has basic support for browsing and updating 7z archives.
| 
| ** browse-url has a new variable `browse-url-mailto-function'
| specifies how mailto: URLs are handled.  The default is `browse-url-mail'.

even though we're not quite at 24.1 yet...  but that's Emacs for you!

There have been quite a few changes under the hood in Emacs lately.
