Only just came to download the sources I don'r already have, for 10.1

Checking that I had them all suggests that Readline was updated,
from 8.0 to 8.1, but isn't listed in the "What's new" section.

I note, in the SVN log,

r12069 | bdubbs | 2020-12-15 05:45:13 +0800 (Tue, 15 Dec 2020) | 9 lines

Update to libcap-2.46.
Update to bc-3.2.4.
Update to autoconf-2.70.
Update to openssl-1.1.1i.
Update to Python3-3.9.1.
Update to linux-5.9.14.
Update to bash-5.1 and readline-8.1.

so and was wondering how it gets left out ?

FWIW, I do something akin to

links2 -width 132 -dump -html-numbered-links 0 LFS-BOOK-10.1-NOCHUNKS.html | \
 grep Download: \
 cut -d/ -f 3-  > LFS-BOOK-10.1-SRC_PATHS.txt

to get a list of "paths to" each Book's sources, so was wondering
if something like that list being maintained, on the backend, might
help in autogenerating the "What's new" list?

Then agsan, if the download URIs change, I coud see that you could
get some false positives.

And then again, there's the wget list that's not explictly in the Book
but is linked to from it, so maybe that could be used as the basis
for determining the diffs between versions?

Just some thoughts though,
Kevin
