The NEWS File

In addition to its manual, the package should have a file named `NEWS' which contains a list of user-visible changes worth mentioning. In each new release, add items to the front of the file and identify the version they pertain to. Don't discard old items; leave them in the file after the newer items. This way, a user upgrading from any previous version can see what is new.

If the `NEWS' file gets very long, move some of the older items into a file named `ONEWS' and put a note at the end referring the user to that file.
