Ok, updated (only the first patch has any changes). Hopefully the 
wording is ok.

I've also moved a stray Eshell entry from the "Lisp Changes" section 
into the Eshell subsection of "Changes in Specialized Modes". It was 
more of a user-facing change, so it's probably best to put it there 
alongside all the other similar changes (I added a pointer to the manual 
section too).
