In any case I, since I don't really know what to do, I won't make any changes. Why not just make the 21.3.50 NEWS file contain the entire 21.3 NEWS file starting from: * Installation changes in Emacs 21.3 and add all 21.4 specific stuff on top? (If I understand correctly that is exactly what you and Kim are suggesting.) That would make things a lot simpler for people switching from Emacs 21.2 or 21.3 to the current CVS, as they would get an accurate overview of which changes to expect. If I understand correctly, you are volunteering to make that change, although it is probably better to wait to make sure that Richard agrees. In as far as `Info-scroll-prefer-subnodes' is concerned the current single entry should then be split into two entries; The original 21.2 entry and a new 21.4 entry saying that the default was changed from t to nil.
