May be more users would update and reread documentation if each new
manual had a "new and updated" section. (I already made this remark
has a customer BTW, so this is not only "free user" wishlist ;-)

You can't expect users to reread a few hundred (boring even if
well-written) pages they've already mostly read every six monthes and
do the mental diff (if it's even possible).

The release notes for the technical part is very good, why not do the
same for the documentation?

I really hope the GNAT 3.14 documentation will have such a section,
otherwise I probably won't read it, and this will nullify GNAT people
work on it (at least for me).
