Sort NEWS before release

Background

We have been adding entries to the NEWS in seemingly-random order. This is fine for the development cycle, but it would be nice if sorted out the entries before 1.4 release. I am thinking we need to do the following:

  • Use consistent way of highlighting breaking changes.
  • Group logically related entries together (like all the ones about source or artifact commands).
  • Use consistent style for all the entries (for example, choosing one of added shiny new feature vs add shiny new feature and following it throughout).
  • Double-check spelling and grammar.
