Subject: bug#7777: 24.0.50; incompatible change for `directory-abbrev-alist' not in NEWS
Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2011 11:49:07 -0800

In Emacs 22, the doc string of `directory-abbrev-alist' says this:
 
"*Every* FROM string should start with `^'."
 
Now it says this:
 
*Every* FROM string should start with "\\`".
 
That means that *Every* existing customization is broken (or at least
contradicts the "should").  This incompatible change should be
mentioned in the NEWS.
