+Release notes for AUCTeX 12.1 with preview-latex
+================================================
+
+AUCTeX provides by far the most wide-spread and sophisticated
+environment for editing LaTeX, TeX, ConTeXt and Texinfo documents with
+Emacs or XEmacs.  Combined with packages like RefTeX, flyspell and
+others it is pretty much without peer as a comprehensive authoring
+solution for a large variety of operating system platforms and TeX
+distributions.  It supports document-dependent completion and syntax
+highlighting, easily accessible menus, jumping to error locations in
+the source file, a number of editing shortcuts, intelligent
+indentation and filling of text during entry, and WYSIWYG previews of
+graphical elements like math formulas right in the Emacs source
+buffer, by virtue of its preview-latex component.
+
+One part of the preview-latex subsystem is the central `preview.sty'
+file that is independently useful for a number of applications and is
+available in unbundled form from CTAN.[1]
+
+AUCTeX needs volunteers in particular for non-programming tasks:
+documentation writing, tutorials, translations, reference material,
+sleuth work, testing.
+
+New features and fixed bugs in this release
+-------------------------------------------
+
+AUCTeX now requires GNU Emacs 24 or higher.  Support for XEmacs has
+been dropped.
+
+Besides the change in the supported version of Emacs, there has
+been no functional change in this release, which is equivalent to
+version 11.92.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+It is required that you use at least GNU Emacs 24.
+
+The preview-latex subsystem requires image support.
+
+You'll also need a working LaTeX installation and Ghostscript.
+dvipng[2] (version 1.4 or later), a very fast DVI converter, can be
+used to speed up the conversion.
+
+Availability
+------------
+
+The easiest way for getting AUCTeX is installing it with GNU ELPA, see
+<URL:https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html> for more information.
+Other download options are available at
+<URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>.  At release time, we provide the
+source tarball.  You can also use versions of Emacs that already
+include AUCTeX or a software package management system for your
+operating system which provides you with the latest release.
+
+A separate directory for each release contains some stuff from the
+tarball, such as ChangeLog, printable manuals, and a reference sheet.
+The download area is mirrored to the directory support/auctex on CTAN.
+AUCTeX is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.
+
+You'll find more information at the web site of AUCTeX
+<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>, including its mailing list
+addresses.
+
+Future development and additional information
+---------------------------------------------
+
+AUCTeX is proceeding as a GNU project with the long-term intent of
+merging it into Emacs.  For that reason, all new contributors need to
+assign copyright to their contributions to the FSF (the usual
+procedure for Emacs contributors).  The same holds for past
+contributors.  The principal authors and maintainers have already done
+so, but it would require a diligent and diplomatic volunteer to find
+and ask the rest.
+
+Current AUCTeX managers are Arash Esbati, Mosè Giordano, and Tassilo
+Horn.  Everybody is welcome to contribute to the project by reporting
+bugs and suggesting improvements, but the most effective way of
+helping AUCTeX development remains volunteering for tasks.
