That's great, but where is the list if changes?

All changes are always listed in the Misc/NEWS file. A "Change log" link on every download page displays this file. I think it would be good if the release announcement made some summary statement, though, like "NNN bugs have been fixed, in MMM modules; see NEWS for details", or some such. It does say "over NNN bugs have been fixed", not sure if the MMM modules add anything of value. I agree that a link to the NEWS file should be present though.

Wishlist item: How hard would it be to run a ReST parser over Misc/NEWS and create a HTML version for inclusion in the release pages? (Bonus points if it steals the issue reference linkification code from the tracker...)

Cheers, Nick.
