all I found there was the following section:

** Renamed file hooks to follow the convention:
find-file-hooks to find-file-hook,
find-file-not-found-hooks to find-file-not-found-functions,
write-file-hooks to write-file-functions,
write-contents-hooks to write-contents-functions.
Marked local-write-file-hooks as obsolete (use the LOCAL arg of `add-hook').


IMHO this isn't very clear. I think there should be an entry for the change
to add-hook.
