 ** New modes and packages
 
 +++
+*** The new package Eshell is an operating system command shell
+implemented entirely in Emacs Lisp.  Use `M-x eshell' to invoke it.
+It functions similarly to bash and zsh, and allows running of Lisp
+functions and external commands using the same syntax.  It supports
+history lists, aliases, extended globbing, smart scrolling, etc.  It
+will work on any platform Emacs has been ported to.  And since most of
+the basic commands -- ls, rm, mv, cp, ln, du, cat, etc. -- have been
+rewritten in Lisp, it offers an operating-system independent shell,
+all within the scope of your Emacs process.
