@MathiasVP I just pushed a bunch of commits to fix formatting issues in the change logs. One change note that applied to nearly all languages was missing a bullet, and a couple others had leading spaces before the bullet. I wonder if we can catch this sort of thing automatically, without having to thoroughly parse markdown.

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing while I was watching the commits come in 😄. Thanks a lot! Should I create a core team issue for this?

That's my fault. I caught that, but the bullets got lost in a rebase. My apologies.
