Should be complete through to commit 75837a2717c3b5654149393d6ec0e0977a7ddc2f
Instead of trying to make judgment calls about what order to list
"important" changes in, I have tried to sort everything on a
first-committed first-listed basis. This is guaranteed to make nobody
happy, which is the best type of compromise -- it means you can do that
yourself, Allan. ;)
It also means it should be easier to double check that I didn't miss
anything. Some news entries touch on multiple commits at once (e.g.
grouping all extensions to libmakepkg together) in which case they all
got listed with the first occurrence.
Given expected updates for WKD stuff, I will be submitting v2+ versions
at some point.
