-----------------------------------

Can somebody put together a blurb for the NEWS file and what change to make? 

Also, do we want to point out any changes to the software framework in NEWS?

> People keep having problems when they install a new Bro version 
> over the installation of an old one because scripts that have disappeared in the new version will keep sticking around from the previous installation. 
> We should simply remove the old scripts/base and scripts/policy before installing anything new. People aren't supposed to edit in there so that should be safe.
