 New features and fixed bugs in this release
 -------------------------------------------
 
-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.
+Parsing of LaTeX output was improved.  It is now less likely that
+AUCTeX opens a non-existent file upon calling `TeX-next-error'; a
+problem for example encountered when using MiKTeX 2.8.  In addition
+quoted file names as emitted by MiKTeX are now supported.
+
+A new framework for the definition and selection of viewers was
+implemented.  If you have customizations regarding viewers you will
+have to redo them in this new framework or reenable the old one.  See
+the section on viewers in the manual for details.
+
+Comprehensive editing support for PSTricks was added.
+
+Support for various LaTeX packages was added, e.g. `tabularx', `CJK',
+and `hyperref'.
+
+An easy way to switch between TeX engines (PDFTeX, LuaTeX, XeTeX,
+Omega) was added.
+
+Support for SyncTeX was added.  This involves the command line options
+for LaTeX and the viewer.
+
+Folding can now be customized to use macro arguments as replacement
+text.
+
+`preview.sty' now works with XeTeX.
+
+A lot of smaller and larger bugs have been squashed.

 Availability
 ------------
 
 AUCTeX can be downloaded in various formats from
 <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>.  At release time, we provide the
-source tarball, source and binary RPMs for Emacs under Fedora and
-SUSE, and a platform-independent XEmacs package file (which you have
-to install yourself using XEmacs' own package system, after using it
-for removing the previous version of AUCTeX).  There are also RPMs
-just for installing the LaTeX part of preview (AUCTeX itself does not
-need them, but possibly other applications).  The easiest way for
-using AUCTeX, of course, is using versions of Emacs that already
-include AUCTeX (check the footnotes below).
-
-RPMs with minor version 1 are built from the spec file in the tarball
-which should work on both SUSE as well as Fedora.  The source RPMs
-should also work for rebuilding RPMs on other RPM-based distributions.
-(We have only tested SUSE and Fedora, though.)

 The XEmacs package file can be discerned by `pkg' in its name.  It is
-usually more recent and functional than what gets distributed from
-XEmacs servers and as part of the Sumo tarball.

 A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the
 tarball, such as ChangeLog, printable manuals, and a reference sheet.
