+* Notable new features
+  - (unfinished enhancement 822) UTF-8 as terminal charset: not
+    merely UTF-8 I/O of a unibyte codepage as in previous versions.
+    Double-cell (aka fullwidth) and non-BMP characters work too, but
+    combining characters and right-to-left text do not.  The only
+    multibyte charset ELinks can decode is still UTF-8, so if the
+    server outputs e.g. Shift-JIS, you'd better recode with a proxy.
+  - (enhancement 844) SMB protocol using libsmbclient.  This replaces
+    the smbclient-based code that was disabled in ELinks 0.11.2.
+* Incompatibilities
+  - ECMAScript support is now disabled by default.  It has known bugs
+    (548, 755, 771) with which malicious web pages can crash or hang
+    ELinks, and its security goals are undocumented.  If you must
+    enable ECMAScript support, it would be prudent to restrict the
+    ELinks process with a sandbox of some kind.
+  - (bug 871) The numbering of terminal.*.colors no longer depends on
+    config options.  This change makes elinks.conf portable between
+    different configurations but unfortunately not between this and
+    previous versions.
+  - Changed Python goto_url_hook(current) to goto_url_hook(new).  The
+    hook can call the new function elinks.current_url() if desired.
+    The Python scripting back-end is much more featureful than in
+    previous releases, but it is still considered experimental.
 * Miscellaneous
-  - (bugfix) If ELinks logs debug information to a file, it now opens
-    that in binary mode.
   - (enhancement 752) Documentation updates
   - (enhancement 381) Reduce memory consumption of codepages and some
     other arrays.

     terminals.
