I must say that having news for old releases in one file is very
inconvenient. For example, isearching it for some newest feature,
the user can't see if the string that isearch displays is in the
latest version or in one of older versions!
Ideally, NEWS should have a version number in its extension:
NEWS.20.1
NEWS.20.2
NEWS.20.3
NEWS.20.4
NEWS.20.5
NEWS.20.6
NEWS.20.7
NEWS.21.1
NEWS.21.2
NEWS.21.3
NEWS.21.4
If having too many files is undesirable, then files for only _major_
releases could be created, with the NEWS file containing news for the
latest _minor_ release:
NEWS -- news for 21.4
NEWS.21 -- news for 21.1, 21.2, 21.3
NEWS.20 -- news for all 20.*
