 * Javadoc commands take into account the variable `clojure.java.javadoc/*remote-javadocs*`.
 * Javadoc also works on classes of the AmazonAWS Java SDK.
 * Apropos commands now accept lists of space-separated words as arguments, in addition to regular expressions (similar to Emacs's own apropos commands).
+* [#1541](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/issues/1541): New commands `cider-apropos-select` and `cider-apropos-documentation-select`.
