  This would run into incredibly long logs per release !
I was doing that in the very first releases see (bottom of news.html)
I could change that to something more linear. Maybe adding a <br />
at the end of each line would be sufficient though, and may take
sligtly less place than a sub list.
I don't really care either way, it would be easy to fix,
