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.
