I haven't updated the Bioconductor package guideline page nor the function in
Bioconductor to account for files with .md - This was a recent addition and
only available in R-devel (R 3.6) - Having a NEWS file previous, had to be in
NEWS or NEWS.Rd . I plan to update these functions later this week or early
next.
When I do tools:::.build_news_db_from_package_NEWS_md("NEWS.md") with your
minimal example it does not crash and is formatted correctly. Are you using
the most recent version of R-devel ?

Subject: [Bioc-devel] NEWS file, latest R/Bioc devel version
Hi all,
So I'm trying to get my NEWS file to parse correctly as described on the
package guidelines;
https://www.bioconductor.org/developers/package-guidelines/
I however get an empty newline (`tools:::.news_reader_default()` is used) or my
R crashes (when I try use `tools:::.build_news_db_from_package_NEWS_md()`).
Since I cannot share my full NEWS file as it is private information until
submission, I can share the general buildup of the file.
The filename is `NEWS.md` and is located in the root of my package project.
Minimal example of my markdown file;
```
# Changelog of <PACKAGE>
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic
Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).\*
\*Changes of commit versions will not be kept track of, instead only major and
minor versions will keep a changelog;
x.y.z (e.g. 1.2.5) --> changes of 1.2.z and 1.3.z will be kept track of but not
the small "z" version changes, because this changes with every commit.
All z changes will be kept track of in the unreleased minor (y) version. There
was an exception for the first version however, because this version didn't
use correct convention yet (0.0.1). Failed implementations might be
re-evaluated in later updates.

Are there any errors in my format/what do I need to fix or is the news parsing
broken?
