Something like this?

It was a bit confusing cause the NEWS.md file currently still looks like it's for the 1.0.0 launch, not v1.0.1. Should I have based it off of a different branch or something? Thanks! :)

Do we actually have a joinpath method that takes an array?

Eep! Thanks Stefan, I did that late at night and didn't actually think to check.. -_- thanks. Corrected it to joinpath(parts...), which is the description in its docstring.

I'm still about confused about whether this is the right place to make this change though. Could you comment on that? Thanks!

It's a bit unclear—we're going to have to figure out what the right headings for release notes are as part of our new release process. This seems fine for now; we can always rearrange later.

Okay cool, works for me!

In particular, I was confused because reading that file, it seems like it's still referring to the julia v1.0.0 release, even though now I guess master would be v1.0.2? Or v1.1.0 even?

AND that file looks different in both the v1.0.0 and v1.0.1 tags than it does at master:
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/v1.0.0/NEWS.md
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/v1.0.1/NEWS.md

So that's why i'm asking. Is the NEWS.md file on master supposed to reflect the last major/minor release, such that this PR shouldn't be attempting to merge into master, but rather into some development branch? Thanks, and sorry for the confusion! :)

Ah yes, this will actually only go out in Julia 1.1 since it's a new feature.

Agreed, looks like the v1.0.0 release notes should move to history, and v1.1.0 release notes should replace them, with this entry under the latter? Best!

#29490

(Thanks Jeff!)

Okay, this is rebased.

Merge away! Thanks
