<p>Hi Javier,</p>
<p>Just a logical consequence of how the release process works. Bug
fixes releases are done from the release/3.9 branch, so the
NEWS.md file for a 3.9.x release is edited there, and not in
master. And we don't forward port the changes of the NEWS.md from
release/* branches to master. There are pros & cons in doing
that:<br>
- pros: having the full list of changes of all releases<br>
- cons: having the full list of changes of all releases ! :-)<br>
</p>
<p>Even</p>
<p></p>

<div>I find it strange. There is a long list of news ... but it
covers only things that were added exactly in the x.y.0
releases. All the changes that happened in "bugfix releases"
(that is x.y.z for z>0) is only on that branch.<br>
</div>
<div>You can compare these two pages<br>

<div>However most of the changes are done in master and some
back-ported to the current release branch. That is, if I do a
PR in master today that is not breaking any API, it will be
probably backported to 3.9, and released in 3.9.2. It will
appear in the news for 3.9... but it will not appear in the
long list of news for 3.10 and later releases.</div>
<div>Is that what is happening? If yes, do we want to change
that?</div>

I think the patch release changes either get folded into
the next minor changelogs or don't get included at all.
But the release branch always has the full set of
changes.<br>
