It=CA=BCs not automatic, but the =E2=80=98customize-changed=E2=80=99 functi= on displays the user customization options that have been added or changed between some (specified) past version of emacs and the running version. The drawbacks are: - You just see a buffer full of options, not a narrative like a NEWS file that groups changes logically and/or in order of importance. - It only works for emacs core, not packages (but bug#31383 is a request to change that). - As mentioned it is not automatic (though I=CA=BCm sure that there are people for whom an automated change announcement itself would be considered a drawback...).
