bug#20403: Format of NEWS (navigating in it) |

Hi!
As I was not running the latest version of Emacs, I started to read the NEWS
file backwards (maybe life is just boring otherwise), beginning at the Emacs
version I had before.
(while doing that the ghost of RMS appeared and asked: "Why don't you run the
latest version when it's free?" ;-)
OK, serious again: I realized that when reading backwards it's rather hard to
find out when you are done, because even that it's outline mode there is NOT
ONE section per Emacs release (here 24.4) (with sub-sections), but multiple. To
be concrete, the lop-level headings (when reading backwards) are:
* Changes in Emacs 24.4 on Non-Free Operating Systems
* Lisp Changes in Emacs 24.4
* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 24.4
* New Modes and Packages in Emacs 24.4
* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 24.4
* Editing Changes in Emacs 24.4
* Changes in Emacs 24.4
(here I thought I'm done)
* Startup Changes in Emacs 24.4
* Installation Changes in Emacs 24.4
I know it's all a long tradition, but I'd prefer to have one major section per
release. While re-discovering outline-mode, I also realized that C-c C-f
[<outline-forward-same-level>] (and C-c C-b) have to be used twice to get to
the next heading if an ASCII FF (form feed) (plus newline) character preceeds
the heading.
Is this the way it should be?
Regards,
Ulrich
