1. Create a file in the news/ directory called <type>-<pr-id>.md, where <type> is either:
   • feature: New functionality.
   • bugfix: Fix to a reported bug.
   • packaging: Packaging related change.
   • developer-note: Changes, that are only interesting to developers. (internal API change, etc...)
   • other: Other important, but not categorized change. You can query the next PR ID with the next-pr-id.py script, but it could be a good practice to add the commit, containing the news entry, after you have opened your PR, as you will know your PR ID then. Multiple news entries can be created for a single PR, if necessary. The file name is numbered in that case: <type>-<pr-id>-<n>.md.
2. Fill it with the summary of the PR.
   • You can use any markdown formatting.
   • Please make sure, that there are no lines longer than 120 characters.
   • Make it 2-3 sentences at most.
   • Start the entry with the affected modules then a colon. For example: "network-dest: Added..."
3. Commit it with the message: news: <type>-<pr-id>, for example: "news: bugfix-1234"

1. Run news/create-newsfile.py (python3 required)
2. Fill the Highlights section in the newly created NEWS.md file.

Note, the script uses the VERSION file, so it is necessary bump the version there, before running the script.
