Last time the most obviously new thing was adding the What's New section to the HOWTO.  Now it's moving it out of the HOWTO.

New in GPGME 1·13·0
===================

Additions since GPGME 1.12.0 include:

  * Moving the What's New section out of the basic HOWTO (gpgme-python-howto.org) document and into its own file so as to more readily include other documents beyond that HOWTO.

  * Moving the preceding, archival, segments into another file (what-was-new.org).

  * Added gpg.version.versionintlist to make it easier for Python developers to check for a specific version number, even with beta versions (it will drop the "-betaN" part).

  * Added expanded detail on issues pertaining to installing for Windows users.

  * Bindings enter maintenance mode (maintenance-mode) from January, 2019.

  * Added documentation on maintenance mode and what changes can be made to the code when in that status.  Essentially that boils down to bug fixes only and no feature requests.

  * The import-keys-hkp.py example script, which uses the hkp4py module to search the SKS servers for a key, has been tightened up to search for both hexadecimal key IDs and user ID strings with reduced chance of unnecessary repitition.  There may still be some repetition if a key includes a user ID matching the hexadecimal value of a key ID.
