Hi,<br>
OK, I think I have done that.<br>
<br>
Because we are short on time I cut and pasted the release note
fragments from my spreadsheet into the NEWS file with Apostrophe MD
file editor and whipped them into shape manually.<br>
First time using it and it is pretty good. Obviously, this was a
manual process, but it wasn't too onerous.<br>
<br>
I couldn't get the towncrier thingy to work anyway. I don't really
have much experience with python and pip. Python seems an awful lot
more complicated since the last time I used it :(<br>
<br>
I have pushed the release notes in NEWS to your branch.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Ralph<br>

towncrier.</div>

<div> Hi,<br>
In this case I didn't generate the towncrier files. It's a
lot of faff if you don't do it as you go along.<br>
I just put them into a spreadsheet.<br>
<br>
I will try to generate the release notes from that.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

I think if we are going for your proposed
plan, then we are official in <br>
code freeze for 1.2.1.<br>
If you want to proceed, I can prepare
release notes.<br>
<br>
