+NEW FEATURES
+
+- You can now choose whether or not to display so-called 'dotfiles'.
+  By convention on Unix and many other systems, files beginning
+  with a dot ('.') are usually used as configuration files.  Unless
+  you specifically want to edit a configuration, you typically do
+  little or nothing with these files.  Since there can be quite
+  a few of them on a modern system, it's helpful to be able to
+  block them from view.  This feature is enabled with:
+
+  Key Binding:  TOGHIDEDOT   (default: Control-9)
+  Option:       DOTFILE      (default: .)
+  Option:       HIDEDOTFILES (default: False)
+
+  HIDEDOTFILES determines whether or not to hide the dotfiles.
+  TOHIDEDOT "toggles" the state of HIDEDOTFILES from the
+  keyboard.  You can also set the initial state of HIDEDOTFILES
+  in your configuration file.
+
+  DOTFILE sets what a "dotfile" begins with.  Ordinarily, this
+  is just ".", however you can change it.  If, say, you set
+  DOTFILE to "D", then a files or directories, whose names begin with
+  the letter "D" will be hidden.  DOTFILE can be any valid string.
+
+  A few notes on hiding dotfiles:
+
+  HIDEDOTFILES sets the initial state of the option when used
+  in the configuration file, but it can still be toggled with
+  TOGHIDEDOT.
+
+  Unlike Wildcard Filters (which test the entire displayed line),
+  dotfile hiding is triggered only by the name of the file or
+  directory.
+
+  If you change DOTFILE to some other string, be aware that
+  the test to see if a file (or directory) name starts with
+  this string is *case-sensitive*.  If you set DOTFILE to "De",
+  it will not hide files starting with "de", for example.
