grave is ok - it's in the nature of whatsnewfm that a newsletter
change might render it completely unusable.

This is caused by a change in the newsletter format.
See this bug on sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2797110&group_id=68034&atid=519822

I try to fix it over the weekend.  Not only a temporary fix for this
format change, but a more general approach that hopefully does not
break the next time a field gets moved around in the newsletter.
