[postgis-users] Purge of old released notes

[Arthur Bazin]

Sorry, I wasn't really clear in my question.

The News file contains every changes that have been commit and other
important information, this is an amazing place to find informations on
changes that have been made.

I was talking about the release_note.xml file in the /doc directory :
https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/postgis/postgis/src/branch/master/doc/release_notes.xml
This one contained more or less the same things as the news file but in an
xml/docbook format which is very conveniant for searching into.
This file have been truncated during this commit :
https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/postgis/postgis/commit/78a4dd2fb38eb3e7be55d850a4302658ff3ccad8

But maybe I haven't correctly understand what this file contains and it is
not the same as the news file.

With this context, my question is : is it planned to keep a xml formated
version of the complete news file ? :-)
If not nervemind but I find this file really common to parse instead of
parsing each release and keeping the informations.

Thank you very much

Arthur Bazin
