This file is about changes in Emacs version 27.
See file HISTORY for a list of GNU Emacs versions and release dates.
See files NEWS.26, NEWS.25, NEWS.24, NEWS.23, NEWS.22, NEWS.21,
NEWS.20, NEWS.19, NEWS.18, and NEWS.1-17 for changes in older Emacs
versions.
You can narrow news to a specific version by calling 'view-emacs-news'
with a prefix argument or by typing C-u C-h C-n.
Temporary note:
+++ indicates that all necessary documentation updates are complete.
(This means all relevant manuals in doc/ AND lisp doc-strings.)
--- means no change in the manuals is needed.
When you add a new item, use the appropriate mark if you are sure it applies,
\f
* Installation Changes in Emacs 27.1
\f
* Startup Changes in Emacs 27.1
+++
** Emacs can now be configured using an early init file.
The file is called early-init.el, in `user-emacs-directory'. It is
loaded very early in the startup process: in particular, before
graphical elements such as the tool bar are initialized, and before
the package manager is initialized.
+++
** Emacs now initializes package.el before loading the init-file.
This is part of a change intended to eliminate the behavior of
package.el inserting a call to (package-initialize) into the
init-file, which was previously done when Emacs was started. Users
who do not configure package.el variables such as `package-load-list'
and `package-user-dir' need not make any configuration changes. Users
who do configure such variables should place the configuration into
the newly introduced early init file, which is loaded before
package.el is initialized.
