The news file is automatically generated with a diff on NEWS between the
previous release and the newly installed release. I believe it's not
created for a .0 release since it creates the directory and so there's
no previous release in this directory. This could be improved, I guess.

The changes file is created with a diff between the previous the
previous release and the newly installed relase. It's discarded if
there's any binary change (in an icon, eg).

No idea.
