Oh boy, where to start :)
Patch 01 fixes the XSLT stylesheet used to generate the
plain text NEWS file from docs/news.html.in. This has
been broken for at least two years, based on the oldest
release archive available on the website.
Patches 02-05 clean up some very simple mistakes.
Patches 06-09 are the juicy bits: very old entries were
not as tidy as recent ones, so I went through them and
polished them up to bring them up to standard. It would
be great if someone who was around from the early days,
ideally DV, could go over patch 09 in particular, since
categorizing old changes I know barely nothing about is
by definition prone to error.
Patches 10-15 go over everything one last time for that
extra shiny finish.
Cheers.
PS: Patch 07 contains an awfully long line that
git-send-email warns me about. I'll try to sent it
anyway, but if it doesn't make it to the list
that's probably the reason.
