[flame] NEWS file is useless

[Wolfgang Sourdeau]

Hi everyone,


This morning, I have inadvertently updated gnustep-base on my Debian 
machine, which remained at version 1.19 since april this year....
To my surprise, I have found at least two unannounced changes:
- the property list format is now serialized directly in XML, which is 
somehow useful.... or, well, maybe not.
- the NSZoneMallocAtomic function has been removed, causing SOGo users 
to fail in compiling SOPE

Surprise, surprise, the NEWS files does not list any of those changes. 
Moreover they happened during a minor update of the library. Let me tell 
you this kind of unannounced changes are totally unpleasant (and an IRC 
channel does not count for announcing those).
It would be better to polish your release process a little bit...


Cheers,
