- Font locking has been improved significantly. It is now less
prone to color bleeding which could lead to high resource
usage. In addition it now includes information about LaTeX
macro syntax and can indicate syntactically incorrect macros in
LaTeX mode.
- The license was updated to GPLv3.
- Support for the nomencl, flashcards and comment LaTeX packages
as well as the Icelandic language option of babel were added.
- Support for folding of math macros was added.
- Lots of minor bugs in features and documentation were fixed.
- IMPORTANT: Many of the new features in the 11.x series rely on
special properties in the variable `TeX-command-list' and will
not work if you customized this variable for a pre-11.5x
release of AUCTeX. If this is the case for you, please
re-initialize the variable by erasing the customization,
thereby setting the variable to the new default, and re-adding
your changes afterwards.
PR: ports/125737
* There have been problems with the `-without-texmf-dir' option to
`configure' when the value of `-with-kpathsea-sep' was set or
determined for an installation system with a default different
from that of the runtime system. `with-kpathsea-sep' has been
removed; the setting is now usually determined at runtime.
Due to this and other problems, preview-latex in the released
XEmacs package failed under Windows or with anything except recent
21.5 XEmacsen.
* AUCTeX and preview-latex have been changed in order to accommodate
file names containing spaces. preview-latex now tolerates bad
PostScript code polluting the stack (like some Omega fonts).
* `preview.sty' had in some cases failed to emit PostScript header
specials.
* Support for folding of comments was added.
* The `polish' language option of the babel LaTeX package as well as
the polski LaTeX package are now supported. Most notably this
means that AUCTeX will help to insert quotation marks as defined
by polish.sty (`"`..."'') and polski.sty (`,,...''').
* The TeX tool bar is now available and enabled by default in plain
TeX mode.
* Bug fix in the display of math subscripts and superscripts.
* Bug fix `TeX-doc' for Emacs 21.
* There has been quite a number of other bug fixes to various
features and documentation across the board.
- The new function `TeX-doc' provides easy access to documentation about
commands and packages or information related to TeX and friends in
general. It is accessible with the key binding `C-c ?' or the `Find
Documentation...' entry in the mode menus.
- You can now get rid of generated intermediate and output files by
means of the new `Clean' and `Clean All' entries in `TeX-command-list'
accessible with `C-c C-c' or the Command menu.
- Support for forward search with PDF files was added. That means you
can jump to a place in the output file corresponding to the position
in the source file. Currently this only works if you use the pdfsync
LaTeX package and xpdf as your PDF viewer. The accuracy is in the
range of +/-1 page.
- Adding support for this feature required the default value of the
variable `TeX-output-view-style' to be changed. Please make sure you
either remove any customizations overriding the new default or
incorporate the changes into your customizations if you want to use
this feature.
- The error parsing of AUCTeX as well as preview-latex now deals with
-file-line-error type messages from newer web2c versions (earlier
versions would omit the traditional error context, which will not
work).
- The LaTeX tool bar is now enabled by default.
- A problem in preview-latex in connection with XyMTeX has been fixed.

* Support for the MinionPro LaTeX package was added.
* Warnings and underfull/overfull boxes are now being indicated in
the echo area after a LaTeX run, if the respective debugging
options are activated with `TeX-toggle-debug-warnings' (`C-c C-t
C-w') or `TeX-toggle-debug-bad-boxes' (`C-c C-t C-b'). In this
case `TeX-next-error' will find these warnings in addition to
normal errors.
The key binding `C-c C-w' for `TeX-toggle-debug-bad-boxes' (which
was renamed from `TeX-toggle-debug-boxes') now is deprecated.
* AUCTeX now can automatically insert a pair of braces after typing
<_> or <^> in math constructs if the new variable
`TeX-electric-sub-and-superscript' is set to a non-nil value.
* Some language-specific support for French was added. There now is
completion support for the commands provided by the `frenchb' (and
`francais') options of the babel LaTeX package and easier input of
French quotation marks (`\\og ...\\fg') which can now be inserted
by typing <">.
* Completion support for options of some LaTeX packages was added.
* Already in version 11.81 the way to activate AUCTeX changed
substantially. This should now be done with `(load "auctex.el" nil
t t)' instead of the former `(require 'tex-site)'. Related to this
change `tex-mik.el' does not load `tex-site.el' anymore. That
means if you used only `(require 'tex-mik)' in order to activate
AUCTeX, you have to add `(load "auctex.el" nil t t)' before the
latter statement. More detailed information can be found in the
installation instructions.
* Handling of verbatim constructs was consolidated across AUCTeX.
This resulted in the font-latex-specific variables
`font-latex-verb-like-commands', `font-latex-verbatim-macros', and
`font-latex-verbatim-environments' being removed and the more
general variables `LaTeX-verbatim-macros-with-delims',
`LaTeX-verbatim-macros-with-braces', and
`LaTeX-verbatim-environments' being added.
* The output of a BibTeX run is now checked for warnings and errors,
which are reported in the echo area.
* The aliases for `font-latex-title-fontify' were removed. Use
`font-latex-fontify-sectioning' instead.
* The problem that Japanese macros where broken across lines was
fixed.
* Various bug fixes.
