Good idea. Some suggestions: * A note at the top explaining what this page is and how it differs from the other What's New page (including perhaps a link to the other What's New page). It might also be good if the two had more distinctive titles. They are currently "What’s New in Python" and "Python News." Agreed. I think the titles are currently very confusing. The page you've just added should be called something like "Changelog", to stress its more bare'n'technical natural compared to our official "What's New" pages. Also it would be extra nice if the "What's new in Python X.Y" section headers could be renamed to "Python X.Y changelog", or similar.

Please have a look again (it's renamed to .../changelog.html); Ezio and I tried to incorporate all the suggestions.

Georg
