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.
