Hello,

Committers following along should feel empowered to add noteworthy items
there, and not just right before the release. This has to be rather
concise because there are so many things going on, and rather about
“important” changes, in the categories that Ricardo mentions.
I’m saying this because updating NEWS right before the release can be
quite cumbersome, and it’s also easy to overlook important things, so
any contribution in that regard can be very helpful!
