+@itemize
+@cindex native compilation of Lisp files
+@item
+Emacs now optionally supports native compilation of Lisp files. This
+can improves performance significantly in some cases. To enable this,
+configure Emacs with the '--with-native-compilation' option.
+
+@item
+The new NonGNU ELPA archive is enabled by default alongside GNU ELPA.
+Thus, packages on NonGNU ELPA will appear by default in the list shown
+by the @code{list-packages} command.
+
+@item
+The Cairo graphics library is now used by default if present.
+
+@item
+The new themes @samp{modus-vivendi} and @samp{modus-operandi} have
+been added. They are designed to conform with the highest standard
+for color-contrast accessibility (WCAG AAA).
+
+@item
+On capable systems, Emacs now correctly displays Emoji and Emoji
+sequences by default, provided that a suitable font is available.
+
+@item
+New system for displaying documentation for groups of functions
+(@kbd{M-x shortdoc-display-group RET}).
+
+@item
+Among the many internal changes in this release, we would like to
+highlight that all files in the tree now use @code{lexical-binding}.
