Hi, What should the NEWS file look like? Are there guidelines somewhere?
the basic requirement is that it be parsed by util::news(); using an 'Rd' format is most robust. A couple of examples include https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocParallel/blob/master/inst/NEWS.Rd https://github.com/Bioconductor/Biostrings/blob/master/NEWS
Also, where should it be located? This page <https://www.bioconductor.org/developers/package-submission/> says `inst/NEWS`, but I see many packages has the file at root level.
from ?news, the location is optional. Martin
