 * Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 25.1
 
+---
+** `setq' must now be called with an even number of arguments.  The
+earlier behavior of silently supplying a nil to the last variable when
+there was an odd number of arguments has been eliminated.
+
 ** `syntax-begin-function' is declared obsolete.
 Removed font-lock-beginning-of-syntax-function and the SYNTAX-BEGIN
 slot in font-lock-defaults.
