It's important to include such instructions in etc/NEWS.
The current text is "too close to the code", i.e. it documents the code
changes more than the resulting behavior changes.

I also noticed another change wrt selection: double-click and then drag
only does "word-chunked selection" on the initial double-click but not
on the susequent drag.
