-* More reactive and less intrusive completion, managed by
-Isabelle/jEdit instead of SideKick. Plain words need to be at least 3
-characters long to be completed (was 2 before). Symbols are only
-completed in backslash forms, e.g. \forall or \<forall> that both
-produce the Isabelle symbol \<forall> in its Unicode rendering.

-* Standard jEdit completion via C+b uses action isabelle.complete

* Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
/ Global Options / Appearance".
+* Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
+Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.

+ - Various Isabelle plugin options to control popup behaviour and
+ immediate insertion into buffer.
+
+ - Light-weight popup, which avoids explicit window (more reactive
+ and more robust). Interpreted key events: TAB, ESCAPE, UP, DOWN,
+ PAGE_UP, PAGE_DOWN. All other key events are passed to the jEdit
+ text area unchanged.
+
+ - Explicit completion via standard jEdit shortcut C+b, which has
+ been remapped to action "isabelle.complete" (fall-back on regular
+ "complete-word" for non-Isabelle buffers).
+
+ - Implicit completion via keyboard input on text area, with popup or
+ immediate insertion into buffer.
+
+ - Implicit completion of plain words requires at least 3 characters
+ (was 2 before).
+
+ - Immediate completion ignores plain words; it requires > 1
+ characters of symbol abbreviation to complete, otherwise fall-back
+ on completion popup.
+
+ - Isabelle Symbols are only completed in backslashed forms,
+ e.g. \forall or \<forall> that both produce the Isabelle symbol
+ \<forall> in its Unicode rendering.
+
+ - Refined table of Isabelle symbol abbreviations (see
+ $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
