[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi!

As a followup to our discussion on IRC, here’s a proposed news entry for
‘core-updates’ that we should push soonish (I can do that later today or
tomorrow but feel free to do it before!).

I probably missed important items, maybe build system changes?

Honestly, I do not know... Version updates all over the place.
But I do not know earth shattering ones. These should come in the
feature branches now.
