1 6.7 The NEWS File
1 =================
1 
1 In addition to its manual, the package should have a file named 'NEWS'
1 which contains a list of user-visible changes worth mentioning.  In each
1 new release, add items to the front of the file and identify the version
1 they pertain to.  Don't discard old items; leave them in the file after
1 the newer items.  This way, a user upgrading from any previous version
1 can see what is new.
1 
1    If the 'NEWS' file gets very long, move some of the older items into
1 a file named 'ONEWS' and put a note at the end referring the user to
1 that file.
