This function pulses a specified list of faces. The pulse duration is
determined by the new user option 'pulse-face-duration'.
** Miscellaneous
---
*** 'tooltip-mode' now shows tooltips on TTY frames after a delay.
Display of tooltips on text-only terminals now happens after
'tooltip-delay', as it already did on GUI terminals. To get back the
old behavior, customize the value of 'tooltip-delay' to zero.
---
*** New user option 'follow-mode-prefix-key'.
This user option replaces 'follow-mode-prefix', which had to be set
before loading Follow mode. This new option allows you to change the
prefix even after it was loaded, using 'customize-option' or 'setopt'.
---
*** cdl.el is now obsolete.
Use 'shell-command' and 'shell-command-on-region' instead.
---
*** echistory.el is now obsolete.
---
*** hashcash.el is now obsolete.
It is believed to no longer be useful as a method to fight spam.
---
*** kermit.el is now obsolete.
---
*** New user option 'ns-click-through' on Nextstep (GNUstep/Mac OS).
This controls whether activation clicks are passed through to Emacs
commands. When nil, clicking on an inactive Emacs frame will only
activate it. When t (the default), the click will both activate the
frame and be interpreted as a command.
---
*** New user option 'global-hl-line-buffers'.
This specifies the buffers in which 'global-hl-line-mode' should be
switched on. The default is all buffers except the minibuffer, and
buffers that enable 'cursor-face-highlight-mode', like the
"*Completions*" buffer
---
*** New value 'window' for the user option 'global-hl-line-sticky-flag'.
Unlike the value t that highlights the line containing point, it
highlights the line with the window's point. Also it uses the new face
'hl-line-nonselected' for highlighting the line with the window's point
in non-selected windows.
---
*** New user option 'display-fill-column-indicator-warning'.
Customize it to a non-nil value to have the fill-column indicators
change their face if the current line exceeds the 'fill-column'. The
new face 'display-fill-column-indicator-warning-face' is used to
highlight the fill-column indicators. By default, this is disabled.
---
*** New function 'flash-face-bell-function'.
This function flashes a face briefly.
It is intended to be used in 'ring-bell-function'.
---
*** New function 'flash-echo-area-bell-function'.
This function flashes the current frame's echo area briefly.
It is intended to be used in 'ring-bell-function'.
---
*** New user option 'pulse-face-duration'.
This option controls the flash duration for 'flash-face-bell-function'
and 'flash-echo-area-bell-function'.
---
*** New user option 'flash-face-faces'.
This option tells 'flash-face-bell-function' which faces should flash.
---
*** New user option 'flash-face-attributes'.
This option tells 'flash-face-bell-function' and
'flash-echo-area-bell-function' which face attributes should be used
to flash.
+++
*** 'face-all-attributes' now accepts an optional argument INHERIT.
It has the same meaning as the INHERIT argument to 'face-attribute',
which already takes this argument for a single attribute. This is
useful when you want the face attributes to be absolute and not
'unspecified'.
---
*** New user option 'ffap-prefer-remote-file'.
If non-nil, FFAP always finds remote files in buffers with remote
'default-directory'. If nil, FFAP finds local files first for absolute
file names in those buffers. The default is nil.
+++
*** New theme 'newcomers-presets'.
This new theme configures user options and minor modes that might
interest new users, but would otherwise be too invasive to enable by
default. (An Emacs theme is a generic collection of settings, and need
not affect Emacs's appearance.) See the Info node "(emacs) Newcomers
Theme" for more information.
---
*** 'report-emacs-bug' now checks whether the bug report is about Org.
The command 'report-emacs-bug' looks in the report text for symbols that
indicate problems in Org, and if found, will ask whether the bug report
is actually about Org (in which case users should use the Org-specific
command for reporting bugs).
---
*** The elint.el package is now obsolete.
Use the byte-compiler instead; it provides more and more useful warnings.
