  • Summary: A practitioner write-up covers the Emacs 31 changes worth adopting now, centered on the tree-sitter default behavior (treesit-enabled-modes, grammar auto-install) and the editable xref workflow that the 31.0.90 pretest introduced. It complements the pretest announcement tracked on 2026-06-18.
  • Why it matters: It gives early adopters a concrete view of the tree-sitter defaults before Emacs 31.1 ships.
