-*** New user option 'eldoc-documentation-strategy'
+*** New hook 'eldoc-documentation-functions'.
+This hook is intended to be used for registering doc string functions.
+These functions don't need to produce the doc string right away, they
+may arrange for it to be produced asynchronously. The results of all
+doc string functions accessible to the user through the existing
+single function hook 'eldoc-documentation-strategy'.
+
+*** New user option 'eldoc-documentation-strategy'.
The built-in choices available for this user option let users compose
the results of 'eldoc-documentation-functions' in various ways, even
if some of those functions are sychronous and some asynchchronous.
The user option replaces 'eldoc-documentation-function', which is now
obsolete.
-*** The user option 'eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p' is now handled
+*** 'eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p' is now handled by ElDoc.
+The user option 'eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p' is now handled
by the Eldoc library itself. Functions in
'eldoc-documentation-functions' don't need to worry about consulting
it when producing a doc string.
