Emacs 31.1 ships: mouse in the terminal by default, kinder to new users
The six-month feature release dares to court newcomers and terminal purists alike. Emacs 31.1 turns on mouse control in the terminal by default, adds editable *grep* and *xref* buffers, and introduces a user-lisp/ config directory. A new "newcomers-presets" theme lowers the steepest learning curve, while package-change reviews arrive ahead of installs and upgrades.
