* Changes in Emacs 24.5
** This is mainly a bug-fix release, but there are some other changes.
** The default value of `history-length' has increased to 100.
** The variable `redisplay-dont-pause' is obsolete.
* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 24.5
** `call-process-shell-command' and `process-file-shell-command' no longer
take "&rest args".
** The option `browse-url-firefox-startup-arguments' no longer has an effect.
** ERC
*** New option `erc-rename-buffers'.
*** New faces `erc-my-nick-prefix-face' and `erc-nick-prefix-face'.
*** `erc-format-@nick' displays all user modes instead of only op and voice.
*** The display of irc commands in the current buffer has been disabled.
*** `erc-version' now follows the Emacs version.
** Obsolete packages
*** cc-compat.el
*** crisp.el (moved to elpa.gnu.org)
*** tpu-edt.el, ws-mode.el
These emulations of old editors are believed to be no longer relevant
- contact emacs-devel@gnu.org if you disagree.
*** vi.el, vip.el (try M-x viper instead)
This undefines readlink so that the twisty maze of symlinks builds,
and fixes the build on netbsd-5. Confirmed to work on netbsd-5/amd64
and netbsd-6/i386. Thanks to obache@ for pointing out the problem.
I will request a pullup to 2014Q4 soon if there are no objections.
(1) CVE-2012-3479 fixed on lisp/files.el

When the Emacs user option `enable-local-variables' is set to `:safe'
(the default value is t), Emacs should automatically refuse to evaluate
`eval' forms in file-local variable sections. Due to the bug, Emacs
instead automatically evaluates such `eval' forms. Thus, if the user
changes the value of `enable-local-variables' to `:safe', visiting a
malicious file can cause automatic execution of arbitrary Emacs Lisp
code with the permissions of the user.
