FWIW, in email announcements, I usually find it useful to see changes
for more than what's changed since the very last release, since I may
not have read previous release announcements.

Another data point: IME, most packages don't bother to provide NEWS at
all.  That has discouraged me to invest efforts into a fancier handling
of NEWS.
