From 17c80e0b92c168893e0f4e3e7a5e39110724814f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Mattias=20Engdeg=C3=A5rd?= Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2024 19:42:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add NEWS.unknown file to correct versions of introduction It is not intended for the human reader, but to give less wrong versions of first appearance displayed by `describe-function` or `describe-variable` that would otherwise be derived from a notice in a more recent NEWS* file. It is better to add items to this file than changing historical NEWS* files when the actual version of introduction is not known. * etc/NEWS.unknown: New file. Add entry for `nthcdr`.
