Hi,

You have a couple of options described on the ?news man page. The most common 
is to have a NEWS plain text file at the same level as DESCRIPTION, NAMESPACE, 
R etc. For examples, you could look at a variety of Bioconductor packages, 
GenomicRanges, IRanges, Rsamtools etc.

?news also describes the inst/NEWS.Rd approach where the .Rd file needs to 
follow standard formatting with \itemize, \subsection etc.

Thanks for pointing out the link on the Package Submission page. I think that 
should be updated to point to ?news.

Hi,

What should the NEWS file look like? Are there guidelines somewhere?

Also, where should it be located? This 
page<https://www.bioconductor.org/developers/package-submission/> says 
`inst/NEWS`, but I see many packages has the file at root level.

Package maintainers,

If you haven't already, please update the NEWS files in your packages. This 
information will be included in the release announcement. The deadline for 
updating NEWS files is Tuesday, October 24:

Thanks.
