Looks good.  Just a fyi to note that the date is normally the date we actually get the files pushed.

It looks like the Lightning user-agent change is mentioned twice in diffrel.patch. Should it be just the second item?

Yes first one is incomplete and needs to be dropped. Thanks.

Probably should mention this is in classic theme only. Usually when linking to a bug, the number itself is not mentioned so something like:
"Scrollbars have been switched over to the <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1625754">native gtk3 widgets in the Classic theme</a>."

Also, do we want to link to other bugs in other bullet points?

>+  <li>SeaMonkey is now translated and available in Finnish and Georgian.
Should this be highlighted in the news too, or should we wait until the final release news article?

>+  <li>Because of website compatibility issues and privacy concerns the
>+    Lightning version is no longer appended to the user agent string.
Duplication has already been mentioned...

Other potential change mentions:
Whether the native app chooser is used in Linux is now controlled via a preference setting in the Helper Applications preference pane.
In the Modern theme, popup notifications have improved styling and column headers now display sort direction arrows.
The the column picker and folder view have been reinstated for the bookmarks panel.
Introduced the ability to close all tabs to the right of the current tab.

and for mailnews:
Whether mailnews tabs open in the background is controlled by a separate preference to browser tabs via General Settings section of main Mail & Newsgroups preference pane.
Fixed an issue with the recipient being missing when using Reply to Sender and Group button in Newsgroup discussions.
SeaMonkey now prevents address books from having duplicate names.

f+ for the moment, but be good to see an updated diff

Additional changes to be included as discussed over irc. Need to be expanded with the actual steps to always show scrollbar buttons.

The two new links under known issues need to be shifted right one place.
