- Revert usage of ~:local~ tag inside ~defcustom~. This tag isn't
handled correctly in Emacs 27.1 and breaks AUCTeX.
+
+* [14.0.3] - 2024-02-20
+
+** Fixed
+
+- Cater for former mode name in customized ~TeX-command-list~.
+- Fix and enhance pseudo-parent mode facility.
+
+* [14.0.2] - 2024-02-09
+
+** Fixed
+
+- Fix ELPA releases.
+
+* [14.0.1] - 2024-02-08

+** Added

+- AUCTeX changes major mode names. Its primary purpose is to avoid
+ conflicts with Emacs built-in TeX major modes. It also improves
+ consistency of the source code.
+ - The overview of the former names and new names are:
+| Former name | New name |
+|---+---|
+| ~plain-tex-mode~ | ~plain-TeX-mode~ |
+| ~latex-mode~ | ~LaTeX-mode~ |
+| ~doctex-mode~ | ~docTeX-mode~ |
+| ~texinfo-mode~| ~Texinfo-mode~|
+| ~ams-tex-mode~| ~AmSTeX-mode~ |
+| ~japanese-plain-tex-mode~ | ~japanese-plain-TeX-mode~ |
+| ~japanese-latex-mode~ | ~japanese-LaTeX-mode~ |
+
+The undocumented modes ~context-en-mode~ and ~context-nl-mode~ were
+deleted.
+ - We paid much attention to the compatibility and expect that almost
+no particular treatment on the user side is needed. For example,
+the names of the keymaps and mode hooks remain unchanged, and the
+=mode:= tag in the file local variables in the existing files works
+with old mode names. See below for more details
+ - If your Emacs is 29 or newer and you use =desktop.el= to save and
+restore Emacs sessions, be careful before you update AUCTeX; You
+should attempt to update only after
+1. you kill all buffer under former AUCTeX modes which have
+ overlapped name with Emacs built-in TeX modes, and
+2. you terminate the current Emacs session.
+The modes with such overlapped name are ~plain-tex-mode~,
+~latex-mode~, ~doctex-mode~ and ~texinfo-mode~. (The above
+prescription ensures no buffer of such modes is recorded in the
+desktop file. Otherwise those buffers would be restored in the
+built-in modes, not AUCTeX modes, after the update of AUCTeX.)
+ - New mode names are chosen to match the existing variables, so most
+user customizations as well as the third party libraries would
+continue to work without modification. For example, names of
+keymaps and hooks don't change as stated above.
+(~AmS-TeX-mode-hook~ is renamed to ~AmSTeX-mode-hook~, but
+compatibility alias is provided.)
+ - Now ~TeX-add-local-master~ adds entry of new mode names such as
+#+begin_example
+ %%% Local Variables:
+ %%% mode: LaTeX <-- not `latex'
+ %%% End:
+#+end_example
+ - The compatibility with the former mode names with respect to
+invoking the major mode are retained.
+1. Former modes which overlap with built-in modes, namely
+ ~plain-tex-mode~, ~latex-mode~, ~doctex-mode~, ~texinfo-mode~ and
+ ~tex-mode~ are handled by redirections; the same override advices
+ as before are continued to used for Emacs<29 while
+ ~major-mode-remap-alist~ is used for Emacs 29 and later.
+ (Therefore, if there are user codes which call ~latex-mode~
+ directly, built-in ~latex-mode~ runs instead of AUCTeX
+ ~LaTeX-mode~ in Emacs 29 and later.)
+
+ These redirections still honor your customization to ~TeX-modes~
+ option. Thus you are served by built-in ~plain-tex-mode~ and
+ AUCTeX ~LaTeX-mode~ if you exclude ~plain-tex-mode~ from
+ ~TeX-modes~.
+2. Other former names, e.g. ~context-mode~ and
+ ~japanese-latex-mode~, are handled by aliases such as
+ #+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (defalias 'context-mode #'ConTeXt-mode)
+ #+end_src
+ - New modes recognize directory local variables prepaired for the
+former mode name. For example, directory local variables for
+~latex-mode~ are valid in ~LaTeX-mode~ as well. So you don~t have
+to rewrite every former mode name to the new one in
+=.dir-locals.el=.
+ - Your abbrevs are preserved. For example, ~latex-mode-abbrev-table~,
+if exists, is automatically included as a parent of
+~LaTeX-mode-abbrev-table~.
+ - Now all major modes are defined by ~define-derived-mode~, so
+standard inheritance of keymaps, syntax tables etc. takes place.
+The inheritance relations are:
+#+begin_example
+ text-mode --+-- TeX-mode
+
