-For the news item, firstly cut and paste the mailing list message. Item
references such as bug #7641, task #3122, etc. are automatically converted
into links. However, this won't happen if it is enclosed in brackets such as
(bug #7641). This can be fixed by using for example (see bug #7641). Create
three sections using the Savane markup (recipe #236). Call these =
Description =, = Download =, and = Full list of changes =. For the last
section, use the subtitles == Features == , == Changes == , and == Bugfixes
==. The items in this section start with '* ' to create an unnumbered list.
Strip all leading whitespace from the full list of changes.

For freshmeat (http://freshmeat.net), go to the nmr-relax project page at
http://freshmeat.net/projects/nmr-relax. Click on 'add release' in the
project menu. If this is the first release of a new minor number 'x.x.0', a
branch will need to be created first by clicking on 'add branch'. Add the
version number, a brief and concise summary of the release, select the
release focus category, and update the Tar/BZ2 and Zip URLs.
