-# Changes
-
-## 2.4.4
-
-This release prepares for inclusion to GNU ELPA and includes no other changes
-
-## 2.4.1
-
-This is mostly a bug-fix release:
-
-- Update the documentation for :custom as per #850
-
-- Fix broken test due to #850
-
-- better tests
-
-- add test for #845
-
-- Support keymap symbol in bind-key. Fix #845
-
-- use-package-core.el: use the Emacs set-default function to avoid saving 
:custom vars twice
-
-- Fix Travis
-
-- typo, should be a vector, not a bytecode object
-
-  Solves https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package/issues/842
-
-- Add special value back again, in case needed for backwards compat
-
-  I don't know why this special value exists, but perhaps old client code uses 
it.
-
-  The additional `t' in the macro expansion is accidental but not harmful I 
guess.
-
-- Even when there's no :config, run any pre/post config hooks
-
-  i.e., following the existing docs for use-package-inject-hooks, these hooks 
are
-  run:
-
-  use-package--foo--pre-config-hook
-  use-package--foo--post-config-hook
-
-  This should make config customisations more predictable (for example, 
spacemacs
-  uses these hooks extensively to allow 'layers' to be customised).
-
-  I got rid of the "special" default value for :config, because it doesn't 
seem to
-  be treated any differently than nil.
-
-  Fixes #785
-
-- Clarify the documentation for :after
-
-- add table of contents to README
-
-- Fix typos
-
-  Typos found with codespell.
-
-- Fix typos
-
-- Attempt to explain omit "-hook" better
-
-- Update tests
-
-- Switch from `require' to `load' + `featurep'
-
-- Use `require', not `load', when byte-compiling
-
-- Make custom-face evaluate elisp.
-
-  Fix #696.
-
-- Add a line of documentation for (use-pacakage ... :hook).
-
-- Fix typo in README
-
-- Fix documentation for defer
-
-- Add no-query option for pdf-tools-install
-
-- Fix typo in README
-
-- Fix all notes in README
-
-- Mention use-package-ensure in README
-
-  Without requiring `use-package-ensure`, setting `use-package-always-ensure`
-  did not actually work for me.
-
-## 2.4
-
-### Breaking changes
-
-- `use-package` no longer requires `diminish` as a dependency, allowing people
-  to decide whether they want to use diminish or delight. This means that if
-  you do use diminish, you'll now need to pull it into your configuration
-  before any use of the `:diminish` kewyord. For example:
-
-  ``` elisp
-      (use-package diminish :ensure t)
-  ```
-
-- Emacs 24.3 or higher is now a requirement.
-
-- The `:defer-install` keyword has been removed. It may reappear as an add-on
-  module for use-package in a future release. See issue #442 for more details.
-
-- There is no longer a `use-package-debug` option, since `use-package-verbose`
-  already has the possible value of `debug`.
-
-- The ordering of several elements of `use-package-keywords` have changed; if
-  you had previously customized this (or were an extension author adding to
-  this list), you may need to rework your changes.
-
-- For extension authors, `:commands` should no longer be propagated down for
-  autoloading. See more below.
-
-### Other changes
-
-- Upgrade license to GPL 3.
-
-- If `use-package-verbose` is set to the symbol `debug`, any evaluation errors
-  during package configuration will cause a complete report to be written to a
-  `*use-package*` buffer, including: the text of the error, the `use-package`
-  declaration that caused the error, the post-normalized form of this
-  declaration, and the macro-expanded version (without verbosity-related
-  code). Note that this still does not help if there are parsing errors, which
-  cause Emacs to register a Lisp error at startup time.
-
-- New customization variable `use-package-deferring-keywords`, mainly intended
-  for use by extension packages, indicates keywords that, if used without
-  `:demand`, cause deferred loading (as if `:defer t` had been specified).
-
-- The `:ensure` keyword now accepts a specific pinning sub-keyword. For
-  example:
-
-  ``` elisp
-  (use-package foo
-    :pin "elpa")
-  ```
-
-  This ensure the package `foo` is installed from `"elpa"`.
-
-  ``` elisp
-  (use-package foo
-    :ensure bar
-    :ensure (quux :pin "melpa"))
-  ```
-
-  This says that `foo` ensures that `bar` is installed, as well as `quux` from
-  `"melpa"`. It does *not* ensure that `foo` is installed, because explicit
-  `:ensure` keywords were given.
-
-- New `:hook` keyword.
-
-- New `:catch` keyword. If `t` or `nil`, it enables (the default, see
-  `use-package-defaults`) or disables catching errors at load time in
-  use-package expansions. It can also be a function taking two arguments: the
-  keyword being processed at the time the error was encountered, and the error
-  object (as generated by `condition-case`).
-
-- New keywords `:custom (foo1 bar1) (foo2 bar2)` etc., and `:custom-face`.
-
-  NOTE: These are only for people who wish to keep customizations with their
-  accompanying use-package declarations. Functionally, the only benefit over
-  using `setq` in a `:config` block is that customizations might execute code
-  when values are assigned. If you currently use `M-x customize-option` and
-  save to a settings file, you do not want to use this option.
-
-- New `:magic` and `:magic-fallback` keywords.
-
-- New `:defer-install` keyword.
-
-- New customization variable `use-package-enable-imenu-support`.
-
-- New customization variable `use-package-hook-name-suffix`. Any symbols named
-  in `:hook`, or in the CAR of cons cells passed to `:hook`, have this text
-  appended to them as a convenience. If you find yourself using this keyword
-  to add to hooks of different names, or just don't want such appending done,
-  you can change the text to an empty string.
-
-- New customization variable `use-package-compute-statistics`, and an
-  accompanying command `M-x use-package-report`. See the README for more
-  details.
-
-- Allow `:diminish` to take no arguments.
-
-- Support multiple symbols passed to `:after`, and a mini-DSL using `:all` and
-  `:any`.
-
-- `:mode` and `:interpreter` can now accept `(rx ...)` forms.
-
-- Using `:load-path` without also using `:ensure` now implies `:ensure nil`.
-
-- `:bind (:map foo-map ...)` now defers binding in the map until the package
-  has been loaded.
-
-- Print key bindings for keymaps in `describe-personal-keybindings`.
-
-- When `use-package-inject-hooks` is non-nil, always fire `:init` and
-  `:config` hooks.
-
-- Documentation added for the `:after`, `:defer-install`, `:delight`,
-  `:requires`, `:when` and `:unless` keywords.
-
-- `:requires SYM` is subtly different from `:if (featurep SYM)`, in that it
-  happens before the `:preface`. This means that using `:requires` will cause
-  definitions in the `:preface` to not be visible to the byte-compiler,
-  leading to possible warnings about unknown functions, or functions that may
-  not be available at run-time (which can generally be ignored, since
-  `:requires` is intended as a check for basic system functionality; `:after`
-  should be used to check for the presence of other modules).
-
-- New undocumented (and currently experimental) keyword `:load` may be used to
-  change the name of the actual package loaded, rather than the package name,
-  and may even add other names. For example: `(use-package auctex :load
-  tex-site)`. This keyword is used internally to generate the `require` for a
-  package, so that deferral is simply a matter of not generating this keyword.
-
-- The source code is now broken into several files, so that certain optional
-  features (diminish, delight, ensure) may be maintained separately from the
-  core functionality.
-
-- When using the `:after` keyword, now even autoloadeds keybinding are
-  deferred until after that other package has loaded, in order to allow
-  convenient `:bind` to maps only present in that other package. Consider the
-  following:
-
-  ``` elisp
-  (use-package helm-descbinds
-    :load-path "site-lisp/helm-descbinds"
-    :after helm
-    :bind ("C-h b" . helm-descbinds)
-    :init
-    (fset 'describe-bindings 'helm-descbinds))
-  ```
-
-  The binding of `C-h b` here will not occur until helm is loaded; and after
-  it is loaded, `helm-descbinds` itself is not loaded until the user presses
-  `C-h b`.
-
-- For extension authors, if you add a keyword to `use-package-keywords` whose
-  presence should indicate deferred loading, please also add it to
-  `use-package-deferring-keywords`. Note that this is a bit of a sledgehammer,
-  in that the mere presence of these keywords implies deferred loading. For a
-  more subtle approach, see the new `use-package-autoloads/<KEYWORD>` support
-  mentioned in the next bullet.
-
-- For extension authors, if you wish deferred loading to possibly occur,
-  create functions named `use-package-autoloads/<KEYWORD>` for each keyword
-  that you define, returning an alist of the form `(SYMBOL . TYPE)` of symbols
-  to be autoloaded. `SYMBOL` should be an interactive function, and `TYPE` the
-  smybol `command`, but this functionality may be extended in future. These
-  autoloads are established if deferred loading is to happen.
-
-- If you specify a lambda form rather than a function symbol in any of the
-  constructs that *might* introduce autoloads: `:bind`, `:bind*`,
-  `:interpreter`, `:mode`, `:magic`, `:magic-fallback`, and `:hook`: then
-  deferred loading will no longer be implied, since there's nothing to
-  associate an autoload with that could later load the module. In these cases,
-  it will be as if you'd specified `:demand t`, in order to ensure the lambda
-  form is able to execute in the context of the loaded package.
-
-- For extension authors, there is a new customization variable
-  `use-package-merge-key-alist` that specifies how values passed to multiple
-  occurrences of the same key should be merged into a single value, during
-  normalization of the `use-package` declaration into a proper plist. The
-  default behavior is to simply append the values together (since they are
-  always normalized to lists).
-
-### Bug fixes
-
-- Repeating a bind no longer causes duplicates in personal-keybindings.
-- When byte-compiling, correctly output declare-function directives.
-- Append to *use-package* when debugging, don't clear it.
-- Don't allow :commands, :bind, etc., to be given an empty list.
-- Explicit :defer t should override use-package-always-demand.
