This was either vague or incorrect, depending how you look at it. For the RC and final release announcements, we did indeed include the entire section of "NEWS" applicable to the release. But it was at the bottom of the message, whereas the "highlighted" changes were called out briefly near the top of the message. > [1] I think of a "soft freeze" as prohibiting any changes that aren't > necessary to resolve a release-critical bug. Also I should note that the freezes are to "code"; I (and other commiters) should feel at liberty to correct things like misleading comments at any time up to release, even in .cpp files.
