@chapter Navigation
Throughout this manual, we use the word ``page'' to refer to any
visualization of a response from a gopher or gemini server, be it a
-menu/directory, query result, text file or image. We use
+menu/directory, query result, text file or image.
Elpher's navigation interface is inspired by the Emacs Info mode.
Movement within a page is essentially the same as moving

+@chapter News
+
+This chapter documents the major changes introduced by Elpher releases.
+
+@section v3.0.0
+
+@subsection Bookmarks system
+
+Bookmarks are now handled by Emacs' own bookmark management system,
+instead of Elpher's own system.
+(For details, @xref{Bookmarks, , , emacs, The Emacs Editor}.)
+This means two things. Firstly,
+the bookmarks file (elpher-bookmarks by default) and format used by
+previous versions are now deprecated. If these are detected, Elpher
+will offer to import your old bookmarks when you first accessing the
+bookmark list with the new version. A suffix will be added to your
+old bookmarks file so that Elpher knows that the import is complete.
+
+Secondly, the old Elpher bookmark menu has been removed in the new
+version. Instead, @kbd{B} brings up the menu provided by the Emacs
+function @code{bookmark-bmenu-list}. This has different key and mouse
+bindings to Elpher's old menu, but is much more functional. Bookmarks
+can be renamed, deleted in groups, and much more. (Use @kbd{C-h m} with
+the menu open to see the complete list.)
+
+@subsection History
+
+Browsing history can now be accessed via new bindings to @kbd{s} and @kbd{S}.
+The former shows the current history ``stack'' (pages accessible with
+the @kbd{u} key), while the latter shows a list of all pages which have
+been visited in the current session.
+
+@subsection Socks connections
+
+Elpher can now use socks connections to browse via TOR.
+
+@subsection browse-url, Org and mu4e integration
+
+These integrations provide support for elpher-handling of gemini, gopher
+and finger URLs using @code{browse-url}, in Org documents, and the mu4e
+mail system.
+
+@subsection imenu integration
+
+Gemini document headers are now navigable via imenu.
+For details, @xref{Imenu, , , emacs, The Emacs Editor}.
