 ** Major mode mechanism changes:
 
 +++
+*** If new variable `auto-mode-case-fold' is set to a non-nil value,
+Emacs will perform a second case-insensitive search through
+`auto-mode-alist' if the first case-sensitive search fails.
+This means that a file FILE.TXT is opened in text-mode, and a file PROG.PY
+is opened in python-mode.  Note however, that independent of this
+setting, *.C files are usually recognized as C++ files.
+It also has no effect on systems with case-insensitive file names.
+
++++
 *** New variable `magic-mode-alist' determines major mode for a file by
 looking at the file contents.  It takes precedence over `auto-mode-alist'.
