** Changes in handling dynamic modules
+++
*** The module header 'emacs-module.h' now contains type aliases
'emacs_function' and 'emacs_finalizer' for module functions and
finalizers, respectively.
+++
*** Module functions can now be made interactive.
Use 'make_interactive' to give a module function an interactive
specification.
+++
*** Module functions can now install an optional finalizer that is
called when the function object is garbage-collected. Use
'set_function_finalizer' to set the finalizer and
'get_function_finalizer' to retrieve it.
+++
*** Modules can now open a channel to an existing pipe process using
the new module function 'open_channel'. Modules can use this
functionality to asynchronously send data back to Emacs.
+++
*** A new module API 'make_unibyte_string' is provided.
It can be used to create Lisp strings with arbitrary byte sequences
(a.k.a. "raw bytes").
+++
** 'file-modes', 'set-file-modes', and 'set-file-times' now have an
optional argument specifying whether to follow symbolic links.
** 'parse-time-string' can now parse ISO 8601 format strings,
such as "2020-01-15T16:12:21-08:00".
+++
** 'parse-time-string' can now parse ISO 8601 format strings.
These are on the format "2020-01-15T16:12:21-08:00".
---
** The new function 'decoded-time-period' has been added.
