On the documentation front

I've been going through the commit messages and diff since 1.0.27,
collecting the noteworthy changes for our NEWS file.  However, the
changes to the genesys backend are so extensive I'm a bit at a loss
there.

Can you provide a list of the changes relevant to a user of the compiled
backend as well as to maintainer of binary packages?  I've got the C++
bit covered already ;-)  Just a simple mail message will do.

Thanks in advance,
