 ** Minibuffer and completion changes
 +++
+*** Emacs may ask for confirmation before opening a non-existent file
+or buffer.  By default, Emacs requests confirmation if you type RET
+immediately after TAB, and the resulting input is not an existing file
+or buffer; this usually happens when the minibuffer input did not
+complete far enough and you entered RET by mistake.  In that case,
+Emacs puts the message "[Confirm]" in the minibuffer; type RET again
+to create the file or buffer.
+
+The new variable confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer determines whether
+Emacs asks for confirmation.  The default value is `after-completion'.
+If you change it to t, Emacs always asks for confirmation; if you
+change it to nil, Emacs never asks for confirmation.
