Major changes are the new assembler, support for passing client
certificates to access Red Hat content in the files source and
the shiny new ManifestPreProcessor.
The NEWS file currently uses non-markdown indentation, but uses the
markdown file-format. Since both GitHub-Repository-Viewer and the
Release Pages can display proper markdown, lets just re-indent the file
according to the markdown specs.
While at it, also switch out the list-indicator in front of the
timestamp to a proper hyphen, to avoid it being rendered as list.
Create a preliminary NEWS entry for the upcoming v13 release. Lots of
fixes all over the place, but most of them not worth mentioning for the
release. However, we do have some feature improvements as well.
This extends on our model how we do releases. It introduces `NEWS.md`
as the authoritative source of our release-notes. It is pre-populated
with the release-notes from the previous 'v9' release, and contains a
suggestion for the upcoming 'v10'.
Furthermore, this adds `make release` as a simple checklist target that
contains instructions how to create a new release. Note that it is a
passive make-target which has no side-effects at all. It only prints
release information.
With this in place, we can drop `RELEASE.md`, as all information is now
combined in `make release`.
