Thanks.  However, I have a difficulty understanding this part of the
NEWS entry:

  *** The minibuffer completions window is now displayed at the bottom of
  the selected frame and always fit to its buffer.

There are 2 unclear aspects here: (a) who is "it" in "its buffer", and
(b) what does "fit to" mean.

Does the following rewording convey the same ideas?

  *** The window displaying the '*Completions*' buffer with minibuffer
  completion candidates is now shown at the bottom of the selected
  frame.  The size of that window is always as large as required to
  display all the candidates, except when limited by the minimum size
  of the other windows on that frame; those other windows are resized
  to provide space for the '*Completions*' display.
