This is fine with me.

I think that doc should catch up first.  At least enough so that an
upgrading user can port their old configuration files forward.  It would
be pretty rude to let a user upgrade and break a configuration without
at least warning them.

If you wouldn't mind noting other major features and bug fixes in the
NEWS file as well, I would appreciate it and, I'm sure, so would our
users.  The usual guideline is, again, at least one summary line for
each major bug fix or feature, with more when necessary.  The NEWS file
doesn't need nearly as much detail as the ChangeLog, of course.  Just
blurbs summarizing major functionality, e.g. "@ifhtml works!".  You can
glance through the existing NEWS file for examples, but IMO, the
texi2html NEWS file has been too sparse in the past.  The CVS NEWS file
might hold a better example of what I have in mind.
