From 265a4b542b717c14e810202078c3ce83e4d851f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ken Dreyer Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2012 10:37:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] NEWS updates for 1.6.2 Add an entry for 1.6.2 with "in progress" instead of a date to hold the release notes for 1.6.2pre4 rather than creating separate entries for each release candidate. Users who track the release candidates can refer to the public announcements, and this will be cleaner when reading history later on.
