+AsciiDoc New Lists
+==================
+
+*New in version 8.3.0*
+
+Lists can now be styled like other block elements, this allows the
+normal bulleted and labeled list syntax to be used for 'glossary',
+'qanda' (Question and Answer) and 'bibliography' lists instead of
+having to remember a different syntax for each one. In the same vein
+there is only one labeled list syntax, horizontal labeled lists are
+rendered by applying the 'horizontal' style. Examples:
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+[glossary]
+A glossary term::
+ The corresponding definition.
+A second glossary term::
+ The corresponding definition.
+
+[horizontal]
+Lorem:: Fusce euismod commodo velit.
+Ipsum:: Vivamus fringilla mi eu lacus.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The list related stuff in the configuration files has been
+rationalized with separate 'listtags-\*' sections (c.f. table
+'tabletags-*' sections). The old list tags are no longer supported so
+you'll need to update your custom configuration file list definitions.
+
+These changes necessitated the following backward incompatibilities:
+
+. You have to explicitly precede horizontal labeled lists with the
+ `[horizontal]` style attribute -- if you do nothing the existing
+ horizontal labeled lists will be rendered vertically.
+. The old 'compact' list style is now implemented as a list option, to
+ update replace `[compact]` with `[options="compact"]`. You can now
+ apply the 'compact' option globally by setting the `compact-option`
+ document attribute.
+. You'll need to update any customized configuration file list
+ definitions that have been made.
