Emacs shell command: Change of behavior between versions 24 and 25?
I have been using the Emacs "shell" command for many years. It starts a shell in the current buffer. This seems to be the case up through Emacs 24.
I am now running Emacs 25 (on Linux) and I'm finding that the shell command works differently. It starts (or goes to) the shell in a different buffer, splitting the current window if necessary. Sometimes the shell goes to the current buffer, sometimes to the other buffer (if I'm displaying two buffers).
What gives? How can I have the shell command work the way it used to?

You should probably ask this question on the emacs site.

Yes, this was a change in Emacs 25. The solution is given in the NEWS file; add to your .emacs file:
;; display shell in the current window
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
'("^\*shell\*$" . (display-buffer-same-window)))
