Please send Emacs bug reports to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.

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
\f
* Changes in Emacs 27.1
---
** The new option 'tooltip-resize-echo-area' avoids truncating tooltip text
on GUI frames when tooltips are displayed in the echo area. Instead,
it resizes the echo area as needed to accommodate the full tool-tip
text.
+++
** New function 'logcount' calculates an integer's Hamming weight.
\f
* Editing Changes in Emacs 27.1
---
** New variable 'x-wait-for-event-timeout'.
This controls how long Emacs will wait for updates to the graphical
state to take effect (making a frame visible, for example).
+++
** The new user option 'electric-quote-replace-double' controls
whether " is also replaced in 'electric-quote-mode'. If non-nil, " is
replaced by a double typographic quote.
\f
* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 27.1
** Edebug
+++
*** The runtime behavior of Edebug's instrumentation can be changed
using the new variables 'edebug-behavior-alist',
'edebug-after-instrumentation-function' and
'edebug-new-definition-function'. Edebug's behavior can be changed
globally or for individual definitions.
** Enhanced xterm support
*** New variable 'xterm-set-window-title' controls whether Emacs sets
the XTerm window title. This feature is experimental and is disabled
by default.
\f
* New Modes and Packages in Emacs 27.1
\f
* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 27.1
** The FILENAME argument to 'file-name-base' is now mandatory and no
longer defaults to 'buffer-file-name'.
---
** The function 'eldoc-message' now accepts a single argument.
Programs that called it with multiple arguments before should pass
them through 'format' first. Even that is discouraged: for ElDoc
support, you should set 'eldoc-documentation-function' instead of
calling 'eldoc-message' directly.
\f
* Lisp Changes in Emacs 27.1
---
** The 'file-system-info' function is now available on all platforms.
instead of just Microsoft platforms. This fixes a 'get-free-disk-space'
bug on OS X 10.8 and later (Bug#28639).
---
** The function 'get-free-disk-space' returns now a non-nil value for
remote systems, which support this check.
\f
* Changes in Emacs 27.1 on Non-Free Operating Systems
