Martin> How so? The first major heading in that file reads Seems more like the Misc/NEWS file to me.
Correct.
I was expecting Andrew's What's New document
Why that? The link deliberately says "What's new in Python 2.6rc2", not "What's new in Python 2.6".
If you Google for "site:python.org whatsnew" seven of the first eight hits are for various versions of Andrew's 2.x What's New doc. That's what people expect to find. We shouldn't be changing that now.
I admit that the traditional description for that link is "release notes" or "detailed release notes".
Regards, Martin
