*** Tree-sitter query predicate :equal, :match, and :pred are deprecated
Use :eq?, :match?, :pred? instead. The change is because newer
tree-sitter library mandates query predicates to end with question mark.
Emacs will transparently converts :equal, :match and :pred to :eq?,
:match? and :pred?, respectively, so existing queries still work fine
with latest tree-sitter library. Predicate :equal is changed to :eq? to
better follow tree-sitter’s convention. Also, the :match? predicates
can now take the regexp as either the first or second argument, so it
works with both tree-sitter convention (regexp arg second) and Emacs
convention (regexp arg first).

** Zone
Zone can scramble multiple windows across multiple frames; it may also
reorganize frames to be a single window. As before, when a key or mouse
event occurs, all of the frames and windows are restored to their
original state. This is controlled by three new customization flags
which control the use of frames and windows beyond the currently active
ones. It is identifies suitable buffers for zoning out so that
potentially important buffer contents are not exposed.
original state. This is controlled by three new user options which
control the use of frames and windows beyond the currently active ones.
It identifies suitable buffers for zoning out so that potentially
important buffer contents are not exposed.
When a zone program encounters an error, it will apologize for a minute
and then start a new round of zoning. Previously, it just kept
apologizing. Finally, zone does not pollute the *Messages* buffer with
extraneous messages.
**** New function 'zone-add-program'
This function accepts a symbol, whose name starts with "zone-pgm-", that
runs a zone program when 'zone' is invoked. It adds the program to the
'zone-programs' vector if it is not already present.''
**** New functipon 'zone-remove-program'
This function removes a program from the 'zone-programs' vector. If the
parameter is a symbol, and the symbol is present in the vector, it is
removed. If the parameter is a string, it is a regular expression that
will remove any programs whose name matches the parameter pattern.
*** Multi-window and -frame customization options
Prior to this update, zone would only (safely) scramble the contents of
the current window on the current frame. Now, with the use of these
three options, it is possible to scramble to contents of all windows
across all frames. It is also possible to make frames single window
displays while zoning. But when zoning is interrupted by a key- or
mouse-press, the original window layout across all frames is restored.
**** New user option 'zone-delete-other-windows'
*** New user option 'zone-delete-other-windows'.

*** New user option 'zone-all-frames'.
When non-nil, Zone will appear on all visible frames. While the buffer
scrambling will appear on each frame, it will be the same buffer so they
will all behave the same way.
**** New user option 'zone-all-windows-in-frame'
*** New user option 'zone-all-windows-in-frame'.
When non-nil, the zoned buffer will be mapped to all of the windows
present on the frame. If the option is nil, then only the selected
window will show the zoned buffer. Note, however, that each window
holding the zoned buffer is showing the same zoned buffer.
*** Selecting source buffers suitable for zoning
When the idle timer, or the user, invokes `zone', the current buffer may
not be appropriate as the source of the zone buffer. For example,
encrypted buffers, empty buffers, or specialized buffers like
`*Messages*' probably shouldn't have their content splashed across zoned
windows. So the selection of a suitable buffer for zoning can be controlled with a variable that identifies buffers with concerns.
**** New variable 'zone-ignored-buffers'
The variable is a list of criteria for excluding a buffer from
*** New variable 'zone-ignored-buffers'.
This variable is a list of criteria for excluding a buffer from
consideration as the source of zoning. The list has entries that are
tested against each buffer until a suitable one is found. The criteria
can be a symbol that ends in `-mode' which excludes buffers that are in
can be a symbol that ends in '-mode' which excludes buffers that are in
a mode derived from the specified mode. It may also be a function-bound
symbol or lambda expression that is called with a buffer that returns a
non-nil value if it should not be the zone source. Finally, an entry
can also be a regular expression string that must not match the buffer's
name.
non-nil value if it should not be the Zone source. Finally, an entry
can also be a regular expression that must not match the buffer's name.
Initially, the list excludes buffers in a special-mode, in an
image-mode, contains an encrypted file, is an empty buffer, is a hidden
buffer, or is the `*scratch*' buffer. If it cannot locate any
acceptable buffers, it will begrudgingly use the scratch buffer.
*** Zone hooks
Hooks have been added to notify programs of the start and end of zone activity. For example, you may want to credit time spent zoning as a Pomodoro break.
**** New hook 'zone-start-hook'
This hook contains functions that are invoked when zoning is about to begin.
**** New hook 'zone-finish-hook'
This hook contains functions that are invoked when zoning has finished.
**** New variable 'zone-time-elapsed-while-zoning'
This is the elapsed time between the start and finish hooks. So this
represents how long Emacs was zoning. Zone calculates this so that the
finish hook can communicate this to other modes if necessary.
