+many improvements and additional features.
+
+Flycheck provides fully-automatic, fail-safe, on-the-fly background syntax
+checking for over 30 programming and markup languages with more than 70
+different tools.  It highlights errors and warnings inline in the buffer, and
+provides an optional IDE-like error list.")
