+*** CUA-mode was changed to make use of delete-selection-mode and
 shift-select-mode.  So you can now enable it independently from
 transient-mark-mode, delete-selection-mode, and shift-select-mode.
 As a result, cua-highlight-region-shift-only is obsolete
 (you can disable transient-mark-mode to get the same result).
+*** CUA's rectangles can now be used via `cua-rectangle-mark-mode'.
 
 ** `delete-selection-mode' can be used without transient-mark-mode.
