** The command 'kdb-macro-redisplay' was renamed to 'kmacro-redisplay'.
This is to fix an embarrassing typo in the original name.
+** 'desktop-save-mode' now saves the desktop in 'save-buffers-kill-emacs'.
+Previously, the desktop was saved in 'kill-emacs' via
+'kill-emacs-hook'. However, that violated the convention that
+functions in 'kill-emacs-hook' cannot interact with the user, and in
+particular didn't play well with ending daemon sessions of Emacs. So
+we moved the saving of the desktop to 'save-buffers-kill-emacs', via
+'kill-emacs-query-functions'. To make sure the desktop is saved,
+terminate Emacs with 'save-buffers-kill-emacs', not with 'kill-emacs'.
+
+(This change was done in Emacs 28.1, but we didn't announce it in NEWS
+back then.)
