Highlights of this release include:
- Emacs can now load shared/dynamic libraries (modules)
- Experimental support for Cairo drawing
- Enhanced network security (TLS/SSL certificate validity and the
like)
- New minor mode 'electric-quote-mode' for using curved quotes as you
type
- Character folding support in isearch.el
- Xwidgets: a new feature for embedding native widgets inside Emacs
buffers
- New and improved facilities for inserting Unicode characters
There are many more changes; for a summary see the etc/NEWS file,
which you can view from Emacs with `C-h n'.
For the complete list of changes and the people who made them, see the
various ChangeLog files in the source distribution. For a summary
of all the people who have contributed to Emacs, see the etc/AUTHORS
file.
Printed copies of the Emacs manual are available for purchase from the
Free Software Foundation's online store at:
http://shop.fsf.org/product/emacs-manual/
(The version on sale is updated for Emacs 24.2, but it remains a great
reference book for current Emacs, and buying a copy is a great way to
support the work of the FSF.)

Nico
