Quite a few more kinds of messages are recognized. Messages that are
recognized as warnings or informational come in orange or green, instead of
red. Informational messages are by default skipped with `next-error'
(controlled by `compilation-skip-threshold').
The variable `compilation-error-regexp-alist' has now become customizable. If
you had added your own regexps to this, you'll probably need to include a
leading `^', otherwise they'll match anywhere on a line. There is now also a
`compilation-mode-font-lock-keywords' and it nicely handles all the checks
that configure outputs and -o options so you see at a glance where you are.
The new file etc/compilation.txt gives examples of each type of message.
