+Lambda and Closure ~
 
 A short way to create a function has been added: {args -> expr}.  See |lambda|.
 This is useful for functions such as `filter()` and `map()`, which now also
 accept a function argument.  Example: >
 	:call filter(mylist, {idx, val -> val > 20})
 
+A lambda can use variables defined in the scope where the lambda is defined.
+This is usually called a |closure|.

+User defined functions can also be a closure by adding the "closure" argument

 These changes are incompatible with previous releases.  Check this list if you
 run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 7.4 to 8.0.
 
+When no vimrc file is found, the |defaults.vim| script is loaded to set more
+useful default values for new users.  That includes setting 'nocompatible'.
+Thus Vim no longer starts up in Vi compatible mode.  If you do want that,
+either create a .vimrc file that does "set compatible" or start Vim with
+"Vim -C".
+
 The support for MS-DOS has been removed.  It hasn't been working for a while
 and removing it cleans up the code quite a bit.
