From 17f953e1b498c8b7c68648e34d0cca63fbb06995 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Frysinger Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 22:13:14 +0545 Subject: [PATCH] news: rewrite layout to use CSS flex boxes This reduces the markup needed for each release section, forces consistent layout between each one, is properly responsive on mobile devices, and migrates the giant 
 block at the end
to the same format.
