Description Simon McVittie 2013-08-27 11:25:23 UTC
In practice I've done most dbus-glib releases in recent years, and I find it easier to do release announcements if I've been maintaining a NEWS file as I go.

The README is also way out of date.

Most of the README was really about libdbus anyway.

Bring back NEWS

I'm the only one who does dbus-glib releases these days, and I find it
easier to track changes as we go along than to construct a change
list during the release process.

Nobody reviewed this, but nobody said "no" either, so I'm going to assume that the person doing the work gets to write the documentation. Fixed in git for 0.102.
