This is IMHO worth mentioning in the news as it might be forgotten with our
monthly "late news" update right before the release.

Note that such last-minute updates are *not* the way release notes
are supposed to be handled: what you're doing here is. So, thanks
for taking care of it at the appropriate[1] time!


[1] Well, ideally release notes updates would be sent out along
    with the changes they're documenting, but this is close
    enough ;)
