 * NEWS
+** Version 4.0.2
+*** Fix Emacs bug with CRM when using org-set-tags
+*** Improve helm-source-files-in-current-dir
+*** Fix some compatibility problems with EIEIO in various Emacs
+*** Improve helm-projects-history
+*** Fix bug in recentf
+Properties may corrupt recentf data, prevent this.
+*** Fix bug with *-window-side-state no more working
+*** Remove the ability of switching to recursive search with C-j in HFF
+It was broken and not needed as we can just add the final "/" to expand.
+*** Change default value of `helm-locate-recursive-dirs-command'
+It is no more using `locate` but `find`, this because locate is not
+working anymore out of the box without some tweaks (plocate backend).
+It is still anyway the faster alternative once tweaked, see HFF
+documentation.
+*** Improve position of helm frame
+*** Provide icons in find and fdfind
+** Version 4.0.1
+*** Provide icons in some more places (helm-for-files.el)
+*** Package-vc-* commands have now affixations (package category)
+*** Show only basename of dot files in helm-find-files
+It is now the default, but it can be configured with `helm-ff-show-dot-file-path`.
+*** Allow using both all-the-icons and nerd-icons as icon providers
+Use the variable `helm-x-icons-provider`.
+*** Add affixations to helm-info
+Add a description of info file when using `helm-info` or `info-display-manual`.
+*** Provide minimal support for eww bookmarks
+*** Stop preventing dups when trashing files
+*** Add a helm-add-to-list function for user init file settings
+*** Drop support for deprecated defadvice management
+*** Allow destructuring in helm-acase
+*** Popup-info can be provided in metadata and added to any completion
+via the vars `helm-completing-read-command-categories` and
+`helm-completing-read-extra-metadata`, for example it is now enabled
+in M-x man.
+*** Maybe provide a popup-info in completion-at-point
+If CAPFns provide such information via `completion-extra-properties`,
+display it in a popup-info when helm-popup-tip-mode is enabled.
+`helm-lisp-completion-at-point` provides this as well.
+*** Add completion for Char Classes for regexps
+This is available in `helm-lisp-completion-at-point`.
+*** Enhance usage of tab-bar-mode from Helm
+Previously we were displaying each marked candidate in a tab, now all
+marked candidates go in same tab.
+Helm-find-files is now using the same functions as helm-buffers to
+display its candidates in tab.
+helm-imenu-all when jumping to a candidate jump to it in its tab if
+possible.
+*** Access to helm-find-files bookmarks from helm-read-file-name
+That's mean that when copying/renaming etc... you can use bookmarks as
+target.
+*** Fix a bug in query replace in file names
+It is now possible to match counter ("\#") inside the replacement
+string and not only before or after as before.
+*** Fix a bug with dummy sources in file related sources
+It is now possible to mark wildcard candidates from unrelated
+directories.
+** Version 4.0
+*** Enhance helm-finder
+Now helm-finder fetchs keywords from all packages, not only built-in
+and allows installing from there.
+*** helm-popup-tip-mode is now usable in any source having the popup-info attribute
+In addition of the various helm-grep-* now =helm-man-woman= and
+=helm-find-files= can benefit of this mode.
+*** New command helm-outline to navigate buffers according to outline-regexp
+*** New helm grep ag action to search results from the helm ag/rg session
+This allows filtering the current results to another pattern or to
+specific file.
+*** New helm grep ag action to launch ag/rg on parent directory of current search
+*** Packages can now be (re)installed/upgraded asynchronously from helm-packages
+It is now the default, you can customize this with =helm-packages-async=.
+*** Helm-find-files persistent delete uses now a read-answer prompt
+It is now possible to answer "!" (yes for all) when using marked
+candidates, this for the file deletion itself and also for the kill
+buffer question.
+*** Allow saving selection when deleting minibuffer contents
+This is now possible with a prefix arg given when position is at eol
+in minibuffer.  This allow for example showing all candidates keeping
+current selection in helm-ls-git log after a search.
+*** Save files opened from etags and fd in file-name-history
+*** Provide help in helm-read-answer
+*** Disable helm for read-multiple-choice--long-answers
 ** Version 3.9.9
 *** Change prefix arg behavior of helm-show-all-candidates-in-source
 With a prefix arg show all candidates, with a numeric prefix arg show
