 * Changes in Emacs 30.1
 
+---
+** New user option 'describe-bindings-outline-rules'.
+This user option controls outline visibility in the output buffer of
+'describe-bindings' when 'describe-bindings-outline' in non-nil.
+
 ** X selection requests are now handled much faster and asynchronously.
 This means it should be less necessary to disable the likes of
 'select-active-regions' when Emacs is running over a slow network
