This patch makes the line include a link to run 'recover-session . It also rephrases the text. The text used to be "If an Emacs session crashed recently, type Meta-x recover-session RET \nto recover the files you were editing." The rephrased text is "If Emacs crashed recently, you may recover your previous session."
The text no longer tells you how to run the command (i.e., with Meta-x recover-session RET). This is in line with the other commands on the page (e.g., Emacs Tutorial, Open a File). -Zachary Kanfer
