From 7a010fa71bc23998d4a6888a280da6ca98c06403 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joerg Mayer Date: Sun, 11 May 2014 21:16:39 +0200 Subject: NEWS got updated again. This shows two inconsistencies how Gerald's and my machine generate this file: - Line width seems to be different - We use different time zones. Is there a way to make at least the first point consistent?
