I say my opinion on previous mail.

Very important.

According to GNU standards, NEWS file must talk about user visible
changes made in the software. In the case of libvisual itself, users
are developers, but NEWS must talk about changes on the interface or
buiding process, or a major performance improvement, not changes in
the code (which are in ChangeLog).
